Aspen Grove Podcast

Today's unknown hero story helps us to see the amazing gifts and talents that God gives us, and how important it is for us to use those talents for His glory!

In this episode, we check out another story from Exodus, and how an Unknown Hero teaches the famous Moses an important lesson! Do you hear banjo music?

In our brand new series called Unknown Heroes, we will be looking at some great and heroic things done by Bible characters that you have probably never heard of. They may not be famous, but their stories are important! The story in this episode takes us way back to the book of Exodus and the amazing courage of two young women, Shiphrah and Puah.

We wrap up the book of James with a simple, yet difficult, lesson about knowing and doing!

James is keeping it pretty simple this week, along with a little help from Grover.

What causes fights among people? Well, James had the same question, and his answer about why we fight on the outside is all about a fight that's happening on the inside. Sound confusing? It's not as complicated as you think.

Are we as smart or as wise as we will ever be? Do we always know best? If not, we need a solution. We need wisdom from above...which is what this episode from the book of James is all about!

James keeps it super practical by turning our attention to the power of our words. James wants us to know the power of our tongues, and also encourage us to tame them!

James doubles down on how our faith affects the way we live. Trees serve as a helpful example of how we balance faith and good works!

As James continues to explore how we can live out our faith, he focuses on the idea of comparison. Is it right for Christians to show favoritism or to compare ourselves with others? James explains the answer!

As James continues to teach us how to live out our faith, he begins to explain the difference between knowing and doing. Is it enough to hear and know the truth, or does the truth lead us to action?

James gives us some pretty great instructions on how to apply our faith to our lives. Today's passage is all about conflict, anger, and self-control!

Today we begin a new series studying the New Testament book of James! We start out by diving into the context, and then we cover a couple of verses about steadfastness!

As we finish out our series on the Lord's Prayer, we talk about a verse that may or may not appear in your Bible and why! 

As we near the end of the Lord's Prayer, what does it mean when we say "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil?" We dive into the topic of temptation in this week's episode!

As we continue through the Lord's Prayer, we dive into the phrase, "Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." Are we supposed to pray for bread to eat every day? How does being forgiven make us more forgiving? Listen and find out!

In this episode, we continue exploring Jesus' instructions on how to pray in the Lord's Prayer. Why should we say, "Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"? Listen and find out!

As we continue discussing prayer, we dive into Jesus' instructions for prayer, taken from the Sermon on the Mount. The "Lord's Prayer" offers great insight into the kind of heart we should have as we pray. This week, we begin with the opening words, as well as offer a Family Challenge!

Over the next few weeks, we'll be talking all about prayer! We'll start with a little overview, and then we'll dive into Jesus' instructions for prayer in the Lord's Prayer. We'll even pass on some practical tips for how to pray as a family.

After all we've covered so far about God, our sin, Jesus, and our response to Him...now we get to celebrate the reward! Jesus gives us eternal life! But what is that like? Check out this episode, and have a great discussion with your kids about eternal life with Jesus!

What is the right response to all we have learned about God and our sin? What is repentance even about? Why is faith important? You're in the right place to learn about all those things!

After the bad news of the failure of our sin, it's amazing to know that we have good news in Jesus! But how does that work? How is Jesus our Savior?

In this episode, we examine the hard truth of sin, where it came from, what it does to us, and where it leaves us. Sin is our failure, and sin deserves a punishment. It may be kind of a heavy episode, but don't worry! Good news is coming in episode 3!

Over 5 episodes, we'll be mapping out some basic Gospel concepts with a pattern of phrases that end with the R sound. Episode one helps to lay the groundwork for our understanding of the good news of the Gospel by explaining what it means for God to be our maker. Parents, enjoy discussing this fundamental concept with your kids, emphasizing Psalm 8:3-4 and how incredible it is that our creato...

In this introductory episode, we give the heart behind As You Go, the importance of parents leading their kids in spirituality and faith, and a sneak peak of what to expect in future episodes!
