Anything But Quiet Time with Rachelle & Carder

Rachelle reflects on helping her children grow spiritually. Carder tells us about a time he triggered a friend at church. 

We share a critical comment and dive into how you can know if what you're thinking is truly from God. We also talk about where we messed up and had to ask for forgiveness.

Rachelle shares about what she's learning watching a documentary, and why it's important to not give temptation a seat at the table. She also tells a bible story that will inspire you to get out of your comfort zone. Carder says it's actually biblical to be selfish in one area of your life, and it might surprise you!

Carder wonders if we push Jesus on our kids and Rachelle proves that God is good with Old Testament math.

Rachelle's oldest child is graduating and she's having trouble letting go, but has been encouraged through scripture on how to move forward. Carder revisits something he might have gotten wrong from a couple of episodes ago.

We go over one phrase that isn't actually in the Bible, but it's been treated like it is. We also talk boundaries as a church body for someone who is in unrepentant sin; and a quote that might give you that courage you need to share your faith. 

Some things seem like strictly coincidence. Like getting the front row parking spot at the store 2 trips in a row. We discuss whether things like this are for a reason, as well as God's control on events like this. We also discuss sharing our faith in Christ, and the difference between preaching and planting a seed.

What should a quiet time look like? Does it have to look like what a friend or a pastor recommends? Singer Riley Clemmons joins us to talk about that, as well as her coming to the realization that you don't have to look perfect to be a Christian.

Often we love stories of forgiveness, but are unwilling to forgive those that have really hurt us. Do I have to forgive, according to God? How does that work if I still can't trust them? And Is "forgiving yourself" unbiblical? We cover all this and more!

It's important to be loving when sharing about Jesus. But we also discuss if something is bad to say just because it SOUNDS mean. And the question: "is there ever a wrong time to share the gospel?"

When you are confronted by the Holy Spirit and others with your anger issues, what should you do? Rachelle admits the problem and shares a step towards solving it. 

We discuss not just being "book smart" or knowing the Bible, but also how to actually apply it in our lives. One major story that shows us how to do that: Jesus with the woman at the well. We also showcase a Dr. Phil impression.

We discuss "rubber necking" in life. Instead of staying on track and looking ahead for what God has, often we look to the side at what someone else is doing. We also share encouragement for getting rest.

If there was a box to check for your relationship status with God, which would you check: in a relationship, not in a relationship, or it’s complicated? In the relationships of your life, there have been defining moments. Rachelle discusses some DTR’s that God has with the human race. The ones that applied to major biblical heroes (Abraham, Moses and David) might just apply to you too!

Rachelle shares about a trip to an ancient civilization. Their history indicates they believed in God, yet chose to do what many in the Old Testament did and do things FOR Him that He never asked for. Carder also shares about some ways we can know the Bible is true.

A bumper sticker with 5 words changed the way Carder looks at life, and helps us both dig into where our thoughts/opinions aren't always correct. Plus we bring up a conversation with students in high school that we realized doesn't JUST apply to students, but to all of us.

In the Bible when people were healed from a demon, was it really demon possession, mental illness or something else? As a Christian, am I doing battle with a spiritual enemy?

As we discuss sharing our faith, Ben Fuller tells his story about coming to Christ. Growing up without caring about God, it was one family's kindness that was the catalyst for his life to completely change.

Do I have an idol that I'm "all about" and yet totally unaware that it's become an idol? Carder delves into the book of Jeremiah and how a people can convince themselves to believe a deception. Rachelle shares a connection from some of the first words of Genesis that pertain to us, not just every day but, forevermore!

How would or should you handle what Carder explains happened to him? Did he do the right thing? Rachelle shares about one of the most impactful human beings she ever knew…and he was a middle schooler.

Rachelle's son is confronted at school and her flippant reaction should have been a thoughtful response. Tasha Layton speaks into the impact of our words with Rachelle & Carder.
