All Consuming Grace

This is the last episode in our four-part series. We dig into the idea of being like Titus no matter what anyone around us is doing. It does not matter what the culture of the world is like or what the culture of the church is like. Your life is to adorn the teaching of God in every area.

In this episode we delve into how the younger women and men need the older women and men to invest in their lives. Those young people don't need criticism, but rather the transfer of knowledge in a grace filled loving way. It needs to be modeled so the next generation knows what it looks like to live counter-culturally! We also touch on the truth that the only way this cross-generational process c...

In this episode, we address the need and responsibility of the older generation of men and women to be so consumed and transformed by grace. So often, that is just not the case. They grow old and check out of their God given responsibilities. They don't demonstrate a life consumed by grace. We need examples to follow. We need examples that raise the standard. We need men and women who are humbly o...

Are you consumed by grace? Then you already know what counter-cultural looks like. For the rest of us, this is a wake-up. It is a call to stand up, raise the standard, and charge into this world leading those who dare to follow. In this episode we address the cultures that we may find ourselves standing against. You will find the culture of Crete in the first century had many parallels to the cult...

In this episode, we discuss God's qualifications for manhood. Surprisingly, those qualifications have nothing to do with the world's definition of a man. When you have as many daughters as we have, it is important to establish early, what you are looking for in the men you want them to marry. While all of these qualifications are essential, we both agree there is one that matters most to u...

Sometimes, Christians can be the most ungracious people I know. The Grace of God should transform us, and when it does, it really shouldn't matter what our position or place is in the relationship. We should handle ourselves with grace. We should walk in wisdom, and our words should ALWAYS be with grace and seasoned with salt. If your attitude toward others does not reflect the transformationa...

In this episode we look at how we too could be guilty of redefining marriage by NOT living according to grace principles. If we are redefining marriage, the bigger problem is that we are also guilty of showing the world a faulty example of the relationship with Christ and the church. Consider the implications of showing the world that faulty example. People's eternities hang in the balance. Th...

Join us as we begin a two-part series on the marriage relationship. All of our relationships in life need to bring glory to God, and the marriage relationship is no exception. Before we can dig into the principles of grace that must be applied in our marriage (Part 2), we must first examine God's definition and design for marriage.

Relationships are the window into each person's relationship with Christ. We may know a lot of Bible stuff for which we are thankful and proud, but it is the relationship with our Savior that is evidenced in our relationship with others. The parent child relationship is probably the relationship that most exposes the relationship the parent has with their Savior. Join us as we discuss raising...

In this episode, Paul and Rebecca discuss the parent child relationship. While not everyone has children, we were or are all someone's child. We are all the product of a parent/child relationship. As such, we can all see the successes and failures of parenting...the wins and losses...the joys and hardships. It is those relationships that in many ways steer our lives in adulthood. Our desire is...

Today we look at how our identity ultimately SHOULD impact every relationship in our day to day lives...especially those relationships we claim are so important. We end the episode with Rebecca making a though provoking statement that you will want to hear.

Join us as we continue to lay the foundation for every topic and relationship you will ever encounter in life. If we don't understand our identity and embrace it, we cannot hope to live it.

Join us as we explore the truth of Colossians 3:1 - 2. We are to seek and set our affections on those things which are above. This is something we should do every day of our lives.

Knowing our identity is foundational to everything in our lives; every relationship, every connection, every decision we make. Without understanding that identity, Christians will make choices inconsistent with who we are. It is not enough to just know our identity. We need a total mind shift!

"Who are you?" The word we have all uttered when someone does something out of character. As Christians, there are sadly plenty of times when we do things out of our character. Christianity has a serious identity crisis today. Join us as we begin to discuss this crisis and how we remedy the problem.

Every day, we face decisions where we must decide how we will react. It might involve an employer, a coworker, a spouse, a child, or even a total stranger who has been interjected into our life for only a moment. How do you respond? Philemon was confronted with a runaway slave returning home. Paul encouraged him to choose grace. When you face those daily decisions, what do you choose?

What does grace look like in life? How does grace work? In this episode we begin to discuss Paul's letter to Philemon and unravel the story of Paul, Philemon, and Onesimus. In the process, we learn that grace energizes us as we go through the ups and downs of life.

In this first episode, we begin to analyze the question, "What is grace?" If we want to raise our children in grace, or if we want to recognize how God raises us in grace, we must begin with a discussion of grace so we all have a basic understanding moving forward.
