Unscripted with Pastor Nate Morris

The journey of parenting starts off with lots of excitement, but along the way, parenting can become quite a challenge.  And what about being a child?  That’s not the easiest job either!  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss what God’s word has to teach us about the parent/child relationship. 

In this episode of UNSCRIPTED Pastor Nate and his wife, Jen, discuss what God's word has to say about marriage and how husbands and wives are called to love each other.

What does the Bible have to say about dating? That’s a question pastors are often asked, and the answer is almost always the same… "Not Much." In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we look at what God’s word has to offer us in the world of dating, marriage, and romantic relationships. 

Which is better… to be single, or to be married.  Often, single people feel that getting married would bring fulfillment into their life.  But is it possible to be content, even if you are single?  And is it even possible that being single is BETTER?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss being a single Christian and the contentment that can be found in this situation of life. 

SUBMIT!  That’s a command most of us don’t want to hear.  But is it possible for us to see submission as a positive rather than a negative thing?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss the scriptural charge to submit to one another in love for one another, and as an act of worship to God, and how when it’s done correctly, with the right motivation, submission actually becomes something we enjoy...

Thanksgiving is a very popular holiday.  It seems like everyone has a better attitude about them as they consider all the things they are thankful for.  Wouldn’t it be great if we could have that grateful attitude all year long, rather than just one day a year?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss the feeling of thankfulness, where it comes from, and if we are able to… GIVE THANKS ALWAYS. 

Have you ever found yourself in a quandary… you have a decision to make, but you can’t figure out what to do? Do we do what the world says, and if it feels good, do it? Or maybe you want to follow God’s will, but you can’t figure out what His will is. In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we talk about understanding God’s will, and what happens when we don’t follow His will. 

Have you ever felt like you’re missing some satisfaction in life? Have you ever wished you could be a stronger follower of Jesus? These are some common issues Christians have. In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss how to find the satisfaction and strength we need as we seek to follow Jesus. 

Singing in public is not everyone’s favorite thing to do.  Why does God call us to sing songs of praise to Him… in the presence of other people?  Is public singing of praise to God an important part of our relationship with Him, or is it something we can avoid?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss the importance and benefit of singing public praise to God. 

Are you paying attention to the days you are living in and the threats that surround you?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss the threats we experience as Christians, and how we should react to those threats.  Let’s join the discussion now…

Are you afraid of the dark?  What is it about darkness that makes it creepy and scary?  Most people don’t like the feeling of being trapped in a place that is dark.  But what about being trapped in SPIRITUAL darkness?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss spiritual darkness… what it is, if it is to be feared, and how we are able to get rid of it. 

There are some subjects you don’t expect to hear pastors talk about at church.  One of those subjects is probably sex.  But teaching through the bible doesn’t give a pastor the option of whether to talk about the topic of sex, because God’s word has a lot to say about it.  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss the topic of sex and what God’s word has to say about it.

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery.  Wanting to be like someone else is a high sign of respect for that person.  Did you know that we’re called to imitate God?  It may seem beyond reach, to think that we could imitate a holy and perfect God, but it’s not.  Listen in as Pastor Nate answers questions regarding why we should, and how we are able, to imitate God. 

Have you ever wished you could take back your words? Maybe you said something you later regretted? In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss our words, the things we say. Should we be concerned about what we say and how we say it? And… is there any way we can help ourselves tame our tongue? 

Do you enjoy being told you made a mistake?  Most people don’t like being told they did something wrong, or even worse, that their life choices are consistently incorrect.  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED, we discuss how we, as Christians, need to be willing to hear that word of rebuke from other Christians, and how we need to be willing to share a loving word of correction with other believers as w...

Do you ever struggle with your behavior… wishing you could behave differently than you do?  How can we, as Christians, pursue a lasting change in behavior without allowing our behavior to become the focus of our faith?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss how we can keep our focus on Jesus and at the same time see a change in our lives where we stand strong against the temptation to sin. 

What makes a church feel whole and complete?  In Ephesians, the Apostle Paul says that it is when every Christian in that church is using their spiritual gift to love and serve the other people in the church.  But maybe you don’t know what your spiritual gift is, or maybe you have never even considered that you may have a spiritual gift.  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss spiritual gifts an...

Have you ever received a gift you weren’t excited about getting, but then, later on, you realized this gift was just what you needed?  In this episode of unscripted we discuss the reality and purpose of spiritual gifts… gifts given to us by God, through His Holy Spirit.  Sometimes, we may not appreciate these gifts in the moment they are given, but later we realize how important they are. 

“What church do you BELONG to?”  used to be a common question.  Today, you more often hear, “What church do you GO to?”  Should we just think of church as something we GO to, or should we think of church as something we BELONG to?  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss what God’s word tells us church should look like and how it is supposed to function. 

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with a difficulty, and like there’s nobody who cares, and no one who can help?  We probably all get to that place from time to time, but, as followers of Jesus, there is always someone who sees and cares.  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss one of the reasons God became man, was so He could intimately relate to our struggles, but, even more than that, how He ca...

"You do you." "Just follow your heart." "You gotta be true to yourself." These are common phrases we hear in today’s world, but are they accurate guidance for us as followers of Jesus. In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss how we have all been created with an individuality, but, as followers of Jesus, we want to express our individuality in unity with other Christi...

Unity in the body of Christ is of the utmost importance. Living in peace with our brothers and sisters in Christ is not optional it's mandatory. In this episode of Unscripted, we discuss the need for unity with other Christians and how we are able to achieve this important goal.

God’s word calls believers to follow Jesus in being humble, gentle, and patient, but how are we able to do this in a world that is prideful, harsh, and impatient.  In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss how we can walk worthy of our calling to be humble, gentle, and patient.

Have you ever thought, “I wish my life wasn’t so difficult.” Is that God’s will for us… an easy life?  Or, is it possible God actually wants our life to be challenging?  And, if so, why would God want that for us?  This week we discuss the charge we are given in God’s word to “walk worthy of our calling” and the challenge that presents. 

Have you ever felt like God is far off and you need to do something special or big in order to get close to Him? Maybe it’s possible that God is closer than you think, and He is trying to speak to you, but your world has become so noisy that you can’t hear His gentle whisper. In this episode of UNSCRIPTED we discuss whether we need to do great things to reach God, or hearing God speak to us is muc...
