The Drive to School Podcast

As Christians in a hostile world, it’s easy to feel like we’re caught between offense and defense. ⚔️🛡️ On the one hand, we are called to defend our faith by confessing who Christ is and what he has done. ✝️ But our true hope is in Jesus, the roaring lion 🦁, who has conquered sin, death, and the devil, and who doesn’t really need us to defend him. Whether or not the world looks safe, we have stre...

What do we get wrong when we talk about God’s omnipresence? 🤔 Is God everywhere? 🌎 If we say God exists in all things, we risk drifting into paganism. ⚠️ It’s true that there’s no place He cannot be, but that doesn’t mean God reveals himself in all places. ✨ If God is in the trees 🌳, the sunset 🌅, and the mountains 🏔️, the one place you're never going to see God is on the cross. ✝️ The Bible...

What does Christianity 2.0 look like? 🤔 Is there something more to this than just the forgiveness of sins? The problem is the question.❓The question should not be “What’s next?” The question should be, “What is the most needful thing for me to do?” 🤲 Think back...

God: *It’s time to get into the ark* 🌊 **God Saved His Creation Then, and He Saves Us Now.** Just like God saved Noah and his family on the ark, the church is our 'boat' today. 🌍⛪ The flood waters that lifted the ark also remind us of our own salvation through baptism. 💧 In the church, we are protected, even when the storm outside rages. 🌧️ God sealed Noah's ark to keep them safe—and He seals...

What does Jesus say about wisdom? Proverbs 4… "🌿 What does Jesus say about wisdom?  What do you do with what you know about the word of God?  When the Lord talks about sin, what do you do with that information?  When the Lord talks about goodness, what do you do with that information? Here’s the thing… Wisdom isn’t just being the winner at Bible trivia.  Nope! Wisdom = applying God’s Word to our...

Ever find yourself trying to figure out how your faith fits with your human logic?  Same.  We live in a world where logic and reason are king, but when it comes to faith, things get… well, a little wild.
