Anxiety

“Mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common and also more hard to bear. The frequent attempt to conceal mental pain increases the burden: it is easier to say 'My tooth is aching' than to say 'My heart is broken'."― C.S. Lewis, The Problem of Pain

"Boundaries define us. They define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to. a sense of ownership. Knowing what I am to own and take responsibility for gives me freedom." Henry Cloud 

What is the difference? Repentance and confession are very similar but not the same. Both are responses! Confession can be both positively or negatively focused. What about repentance? Listen up and laugh at us as we try to give an answer.  

What did Christ say about forgiveness? In this episode Dave and Jeremy look at forgiveness from the both sides of the equation with an understanding that forgiving someone seven times is hard. How can we live out a life of forgiveness in a way that is Biblical and healthy? 

Join us as we talk about divorce, a topic that splits the Church, families and God's heart. How do we navigate the messiness of life? 

Don't get voted off the island or miss the gates of heaven? Are you living out the greatest commandment fully? Join us as we discuss how to live out our faith in a world that is accepting of broken relationship and encourages selfishness. Send us your questions for next season!

“I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.” ― A.W. Tozer

Ding! Ding! Ding! The final round of our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion discussion. Where does inclusion fit in the Church? and your life? Listen and laugh as Pastors Jeremy and Joseph talk out of this topic with Biblical and practical sense.

“Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are.” ― Benjamin Franklin

The definition of diversity in the Church is seen in Genesis through Revelations. In this episode two pastors look at the Biblical definition of diversity and how we apply it today. 

How would you live this day differently if you knew that God was coming back tomorrow? How would you live if you knew that God expected you to care for every person you met today?  What is your definition of care and how does it match with the Word of God. Listen to this episode for practical ways to care in a culture filled with selfishness, idols, fools, and foolishness.  

Taboo topic. Does Romans 6:4 confuse you? If death is one of those things that you have been ignoring in your life God is making it clear that it is time to talk about it. Death for the believer is not like death for the world. Pastors Jeremy and Joseph take a moment to examine death and new life in Christ. Join them and ask questions about things that you want to know more about. 

How much is the world discipling you about your faith, identity, and freedom found in Christ? Listen to Jeremy and Joseph as they discuss the power of the Gospel vs the power of culture.  P.S. Jesus has already one but many "believers" are distracted by the cares of the world.  

How does Genesis affect the way you and I live? What are some of the differences in the body of Christ that cause us to divide in the first book of the Bible? Buckle up as we blast through the noise to get to the meat of the matter in "411 on Creation" and engage with ways we can respond. 

Servant leadership is hard to understand based off of our current cultural understanding. In Christ we have been given a new name, family and future. He has redefined us and the basis for our thinking. He also has redefined servant leadership.  Thanks for listening to our foolishness for Christ. 

Leadership redefined by Christ.

In 2001 we went to war for peace on earth. In the Western world we live with peace, pride, and freedoms that many in the world do not know. We apply our thinking to every situation because that is how we see the world. What is God doing in the Afghanistan? How should we pray and live, today? 

Can I walk away from God? Did the cares of the world deceive me from following Christ? Can I loose my Salvation? Do I have an active, living and engaging relationship with all three parts of God? All of these questions are wrestled with in this episode. Only you can answer the last question for yourself.  Notice! None of these questions focus on works. Your works can show me your faith but it...

You have been made holy! You are free from sin and have been purified. You are in a process called sanctification where God is making you better by growing you through trials to glorify Him more. This episode focuses on that process and encourages you to trust and obey God in it. Relax and rest in God as you live, learn and bear fruit. We would love to hear from you on things you have questions ab...

The action of declaring or making righteous in the sight of God. The Bible describes the act of justification as a declaration of righteousness upon a heart that is not righteous.

You are free in Christ! You are free to embrace all that God has for you do today. You are free to not live in fear but in deep relationship with Him. Courage means being different and this episode focuses on being the peculiar person God created you to be.  Listen up and act on the truths shared in this episode. Have a blessed day and be the blessing God has called you too!

Humility, that low, sweet root, from which all heavenly virtues shoot. -Thomas Moore
