All Saints Podcast | Believe Doubt Seek

Today, Bill starts the Advent season by talking about hope. As we look at the complexities of life, we see injustices, suffering, and the gap between those who have resources and those who do not. In these tough times, we often stop to think, “Is it really true that God is with us in our struggles?” This question encourages us to find a deeper understanding of His presence in our lives, even when...

It’s Thanksgiving week! Join us for a feast as Bill inspires us to explore the meaningful difference between gratitude and thankfulness. Gratitude is a profound, enduring appreciation for the blessings in your life, while thankfulness is an immediate emotional response to a specific act of kindness, typically expressed through a heartfelt "thank you." Embrace this understanding to elevate your hol...

Today, Bill challenges us to reflect: Is Christianity oppressive? He encourages us to consider why power matters to some evangelicals. George Woodruff inspires us with his powerful quote, “The test of Christianity is not how you love Jesus; it’s how you love Judas.” In Chapter 2 of the Book of James, we hear a call to action as James urges Christ followers to reject favoritism and embrace those wh...

In this episode, Bill takes a look at the recent election and the many questions it has sparked. This topic might stir up some concerns or even lead to a bit of tension for some, but we’re here to talk it through together! He'll explore the idea of Christian Nationalism and what it really means. So, take a deep breath, relax, and join us for this engaging conversation!

On the eve of the election, Bill poses a profound question: Is peace truly possible when life and politics stir up anxiety and fear? The search for peace is critical. While peace with God does not promise an absence of challenges that may disrupt our serenity, it provides a foundation in troubled times. Jesus warned us that trouble and suffering are inevitable, yet we can find strength and solace...

Bill 'foolishly' explores the troubling political divisiveness in our country. Two opposing sides are absolutely convinced they are making the right choice at the ballot box. They trust their grasp of the world and believe that this system or that system will lead to improvement. But why are both sides so sure of themselves? How do we reach these conclusions? What fuels this perceived foolishness?...

Psalm 46:10 is a profound reminder of the hope we need when we feel overwhelmed and anxious. Bill breaks down the verse into a practical application that we can use daily to help us look to God during trouble and pain.

When people say, "I am spiritual, not religious," they may be trying to separate from the negative aspects of organized religion and connect with their spirituality in a more personal way. This statement raises questions about personal growth and the meaning of being "spiritual." Read Acts 2:42-47, and Psalm 95

The disciples were fully prepared to form the early church and spread the kingdom of God on earth by knowing and proclaiming Christ. Trained by Jesus himself and having witnessed his crucifixion and resurrection, they were not lacking in motivation or readiness. What more could they possibly need? Read: Acts 1:8

We examine 3 case studies showcasing the impact of the gospel. The Apostle Paul was sent as a missionary to Philippi in Macedonia to establish a church. These interactions involve 3 different individuals and provide insight into the future of the church's mission to reach all people. Acts 16:13-33

The gospel's impact extends beyond our private lives, influencing how we allocate resources, manage time, structure routines, and promote justice and compassion. Seeking out stories and conversations makes the message of Christ real and powerful. Let’s look at Acts 16:13-33 for insight into how the gospel transforms lives.

The believers in the book of Acts were devoted to the teachings of the apostles because it held personal meaning for them. These teachings had transformed their lives, and they were being used by God to transform others. Spiritual growth and worship were top priorities for the early church in Acts. Can we say the same for our own communities today? Let's examine why this was crucial for the early...

In this podcast, we are going to talk about how the church today is wrought with suspicion and has a reputation for being judgemental and out of date. There are many who have left the church. Instead of thinking about getting people to come back or come to the church, let’s be people who bring the conversation about Jesus. It is about getting to know Jesus, who Jesus is, and what Jesus wants from...

The story of the Good Samaritan in Luke 10: 25-37 asks, "Who is my neighbor?" Jesus tells a story and emphasizes that we should actively look for opportunities to be a neighbor instead of waiting for them to come to us. We must demonstrate the values of the Kingdom of God to our neighbors and love as one. The highest calling in life is to be a good neighbor. But what does it mean to be a neighbor...

Psalm 37 is a treasured and timeless scripture that has deeply resonated with me over the years. I often think of it as the "Holy Highway" because of the invaluable guidance and wisdom it provides, which can be applied to our lives today.

In this political season, we're seeing both foolish and wise people who believe they are voting for the right person, thinking their system will make the world better. The scriptures say we are born with foolishness, which we see in children and in ourselves as adults. So, how do we avoid foolishness? Psalm 14 gives us some good advice.

In our pursuit of a stronger bond with God, try taking a compelling retrospective look at the time you may have devoted to Him. It's imperative for us to deeply contemplate the profound intertwining of our life with God's unwavering presence.

The upcoming election is on everyone's mind, dominating news, commercial ads, and social media. We feel the tension as our politically divided nation and church anticipate the post-election outcome. What is our role in all of this, and how can we be the voice of reason in a turbulent political season? We will pick up Summer in Psalms next week.

Have you ever felt fear in your life? What are your current fears? When we see evil things happening in the world, we worry about how unstable it is. Evil and hate create fear. How do you deal with fear in your life? Psalm 34 provides insightful thoughts about God's kindness, how to overcome fear, and how to find peace in Him.

Psalm 91 offers solace from life's intense trials. It is a psalm of trust and meditation, emphasizing God's close relationship and the profound protection He offers.

Psalm 27 emphasizes that fear and anxiety stem from the worry of losing or missing out on something. It also highlights the promise of never being alone, providing a reassuring perspective on life's challenges. We get advice that encourages focusing on visualizing a satisfying future instead of dwelling on potential worries that may never materialize. That isn't enough and won't last. This Psalm t...
