The Confessions Crew tries something new by putting an honest twist on Book Clubs. One of us reads all the way through the book, one reads some of the way, and one gets off easy and just has to ask questions. In todays episode, David brings us a rather uplifting book titled: "The End is Always Near" by Dan Carlin.

So none of us here on the couch were super jazzed up about the New Year; actually, most of us didn't make it to the midnight. So why then are we talking about it? Is it necessary to celebrate or even recognize it? Despite our lack luster celebration of the event, we still think there is some inherent draw to make things new, to reset and refresh. There might even be a way to tie in the New Year to the church calendar and our own personal sanctifaction. Maybe we're just spit-balling here, but you'll have to take a seat on the couch to find out.

In our final episode in our series on conflict, we turn our attention to other worldviews and spiritual warfare. We talk about demon possession and where our true conflict lies. Be sure to check out "BLH 4: Acute Angels" for our complete breakdown on angels, demons, and the spiritual realm. Also pick up a copy of "Spirit of the Rainforest: A Yanomamo Shaman's Story" by Mark Andrew Ritchie for a better view on spiritual warfare and demon possession.

The first installment in our two part conclusion on Conflict. We look at the ultimate conflict; the defining conflict, the original conflict if you will, the conflict between Good and Evil. What is the Judeo-Christian explanation for this conflict and how does it work our way into our lives?

In our last focussed episode on conflict, we look to Jesus to understand why and how He approached our topic. We see that He was not afraid to engage in conflict, and that it often followed Him wherever He went. He created conflict by His very nature, by doing good, and by properly handling truth. But how does this all fit into our paradigm of unmet needs and expectations? How does this translate to our lives today? Well take a seat on the couch, and let's find out.

In this week's episode, we go back to Scripture and look at Paul and Barnabas' infamous conflict. We often think that as believers, our conflicts ought to resolve with us still working together. But this isn't what we see in Acts 15. Why did these apostles split? And what does that mean for us today when we have seemingly irreconcilable differences?

Alright so follow us here, there's a lot to learn from the shows we watch, if we're looking. I mean, did we convolute an episode just so we could spend an entire hour talking about one of our favorite shows, maybe. But did we find some practical take aways for handling conflict? We think so. You'll just have to listen and find out.
