60. Out of Context
May 22, 202300:27:40Tap to summarizeAs believers, our lifeline is the Word. We go to it for answers, guidance, and basically anything we need. So what happens when things don't seem to add up in the Scripture? 0r maybe worse; someone deliberately twists and uses Scripture out of context to manipulate you? The answer lies within the question; if we know The Word, we can't be mis-informed or confused! Jesus was tempted by the devil WITH Scripture, but more importantly he refuted it with Scripture. Tune in as we discuss the importance of truly knowing the word and how dangerous Scripture out of context can be.
Transcribe →59. The enemy is real
May 15, 202300:28:12Tap to summarizeWe don't like to think about spiritual warfare. We want it to go away. It can scare us, isolate us, paralyze us, and ultimately render us completely useless as disciples for the Kingdom. As believers, we would like to believe that Jesus is going to fight all of our battles for us. The funny part is, He will! All we have to do is show up, but often we're too stuck to even do that. Tune in as we take a surface level look at the enemy and his tactics
Transcribe →58. Mother's Day
May 8, 202300:30:42Tap to summarizeGod has given women the honor, responsibility, and the blessing of bringing human life into this world. In a society that often downplays this incredibly magnificent task, we want to take an episode to thank our mothers and bring to light all the wonderful things they've done for us. Make sure to tune in, and don't forget to call your mom!
Transcribe →58. Living with Urgency
May 1, 202300:32:11Tap to summarizeJesus tells us in Matthew that the Kingdom of Heaven is near, and 1 Thessalonians tells us the Lord will come unexpectedly, like a thief in the night. But what does that mean to us? Instead of scaring us, it should motivate us to live each day on mission, fulfilling the purpose God instilled in our hearts; to preach the Good News to all of the nations of the Earth. Listen in as we discuss how to live with urgency and purpose in uncertain times.
Transcribe →57. God's Plan vs. Our Plan
Apr 24, 202300:33:46Tap to summarizeIt's often difficult to discern God's plan from our own. Our own desires can cloud our perception of "God's plan" and cause us to walk down paths that were never meant for us. We were given free will to make our own decisions, so there is not ONE plan that God has for us. Rather, it's His will that we must search the Scriptures to find, and follow.
Transcribe →56. Tug of War
Apr 17, 202300:31:18Tap to summarizeFor a true tug of war to take place, you need tension on both ends of the rope. Too often, we try to hold to many ropes, or hold ropes we were never intended to hold in the first place. We hold onto things that are keeping great tension in our lives because we think we need them, when in reality, they are pulling us farther from God's path and plan.
Transcribe →55. Easter
Apr 10, 202300:34:51Tap to summarizeEaster Sunday is one of the most attended services at every church each year. But why? It's not chocolate eggs and bunnies, if that's what you're thinking. Lots of people likely don't understand the importance of the Easter message and what this truly means for Christians. Tune in as we dive into the true meaning of Easter.
Transcribe →54. Contentment
Mar 27, 202300:38:30Tap to summarizeJoy is an inner feeling. Happiness is an outward expression. Joy is possible when happiness is not present. Paul tells us in Phillipians that he found the key to true contentment while locked in a prison cell. Tune in as we discuss how to find and choose joy in the toughest of situations.
Transcribe →53. Under Pressure
Mar 20, 202300:30:19Tap to summarizeThe pressures we as men face are never ending! Being close to God doesn't take them away, but he does offer us a way to handle them. Society will give us many reasons to question our abilities as men; to provide. To provide financially, emotionally, protection, etc. The list seems never ending. How we approach the pressures of life has a lot to do with how close we are to God. Here we discuss the importance of turning to God and the word when facing the pressures of life.
Transcribe →52. Catch & Release
Mar 13, 202300:33:54Tap to summarizeCatch & release is a term commonly used by fisherman when the fish is either too small, too large, protected, out of season, or population management. We can draw similarities from this term to our own emotions. If we catch them and don't release, there will be consequences. We need a healthy understanding of processing and releasing emotion, and filling that space with biblical truth.
