Another Look Podcast

In Luke 15 we read the parable of the lost sheep and we correlate it with the unsaved or those who walked away from the faith.  While this perception is not incorrect, have we taken a full look at us also being lost sheep in our faith walk?  Have you ever gotten distracted or wandered off from your faith in Jesus?  Let discuss this and take another look at this scripture and learn the Mission of t...

We are trained and led to believe things such as supernatural signs and human wisdom are ideal to have in life.  Human wisdom has its place in life but what happens when it holds a superior position in how we value godly things? The Apostle Paul tackles this topic in 1 Corinthians 1 as we see how human wisdom and the desire for supernatural signs (i.e. physical evidence of spiritual intervention)...

I use to have a lot of difficulty reconciling why good and evil had to exist at the same time.  Why do good and bad things happen to people or to me? As I grow in the Lord, I am coming to understand the why to all of these questions I pondered most of my life. Let's talk about it...

I adapted this title after listening to a political discussion. The reality of this title is how often do we examine our personal lives to weigh this question - "Are we Christians in name only?" Let's talk about it in this episode... Send us Fan Mail Please feel free to leave us your prayer request, comments, and feedback at our website at https://anotherlookpodcast.buzzsprout.com o...

It would be wonderful if walking by faith were easier right?  Unfortunately if it were that easy we would not experience the victories that God intended for us to have. But then how do we know we have faith?  By the testing of our faith. What may be difficult for us to accept is the more we grow the more difficult the testing as we shall see in Genesis 22.  How do we respond when what God asks of...

The older we get the more we learn to treasure seasons of peace.  Our father of faith Abram/Abraham was no different.  Like him, sometimes when we grow materially, and prosper externally, we are unaware of the drama that may come with it.  More money, more problems right?  But thank God, He gives us His peace that passes our understanding.  In this episode, we will spend time discussing our next s...

The Word says faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.  What I'm learning is growing in faith is achieved over time with small consistent steps.  One of the biggest steps we are required to take is having a consistent lifestyle saturated in prayer.  It's one thing when God calls us.  This is a divine and surreal part of our faith walk.  However, God wa...

Abram/Abraham was the father of faith.  He remains our model of how to walk in faith and obedience to the God we declare to love.  He wasn't perfect but that didn't bother God because God knew him.  God knows you and I too.  The decision before us daily is whether we walk by faith or if we walk by sight.  As we will see in this episode, Abram had the same challenges we do, but he also gi...

Matthew 11:12 tells us from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force.  That scripture use to always cause me confusion because I never imagined Heaven as being a violent place.  As I grew in my walk I've come to understand what this means and in this episode we will discuss how, if you pray as God commanded, your prayers wi...

There are so many obstacles for anyone to overcome and this is especially true for followers of Christ.  Many of us grew up believing our feelings are what should lead us until the truth of our faith showed us feelings should never lead us.  So how do we unlearn being led by our feelings?  We will discuss this pertinent question in this new series - Faith Over Feelings.  You ready for this?  Let&a...

Have you ever received a thought or idea that is so unlike you but amazingly solves an issue or problem?  Have you ever had an idea literally "pop" in your head that was not present before?  You my friend likely encountered the wisdom of God and may not have even known it.  Of course there are varying types of wisdom which often are mistaken to be one in the same.  In this episode we wil...

One of the hardest episodes to date for sure.  I really didn't even want to approach this topic for one primary reason - because I am still struggling in this area of my tongue/mouth.  But as I said when I began this podcast God instructed me to share as I grow so I'm doing it.  Spent a lot of time in His presence absorbing His Word and listening to where I fall short as well as where th...

We are taking a brief pause in this episode from the Believer to Follower series today.

As Christians, we are distinguished from other beliefs because we are commanded to live by faith.  While many have sought to redefine what faith is none stand up to what God defines as faith.  But is faith alone enough?  We discuss this question in this episode.  You ready for this?  Let's go...

Beloved.  We are at an apex in our discipleship discussion and we are now going to go deeper.  What does that mean?  We need to talk candidly about our prejudicial attitudes, ungodly biases, and unhealthy preferences.  We all have them.  The question is two-fold: 1) Are we willing to admit it? and 2) Are we willing to confess it before the Lord and allow Him to free us from them?  Are we ready to...

As we continue on the path towards spiritual growth we've previously discovered many truths.  In episode three we discuss the necessity of saying less so we can become better hearers and doers of God's Word.  Our lives as followers of Christ is a daily exchange of our old sin nature for God's holy nature, but we also must sacrifice our old ways if we are to live this new life in Chr...

In this second episode we discuss the attitude of humility while enduring trials and tests.  Humility that's self-imposed is no easy feat, but it's necessary to pass our seasons of testings and trials.  Being humble also helps us view temptations properly.  While our outward person looks to project the source on external causes the humble vessel understands the true source is in fact int...

Our life as believers in this earth is no easy thing.  God never promised it would be.  The challenge we have before us is this - how do we grow spiritually?  Is being a believer in Jesus the ceiling or the floor?  In this episode we will discuss how being a believer is actually the beginning of our walk with Jesus.  To experience the power of God in it's fullest and to walk in His love and g...
