Breaking Bread Podcast

It is a great relief to know that a believer can live joyfully in spite of difficult circumstances. In this podcast, ACCFS clinicians Kaleb Beyer and Brian Sutter unpack two more practical helps for living joyfully – living in the present and living with acceptance. The Christian will understand that their faith in Christ sets them free to apply these techniques regardless of their difficult surro...

We should be joyful, however, all too frequently the believer in Christ is not. Living Joyfully is a 4 part podcast series which provides the biblical framework and practical helps for living joyfully in a not-so-joyful world.  In the first episode, ACCFS staff Kaleb Beyer, Brian Sutter, and Matt Kaufmann explain how to live intentionally and how such living can restore joy.  

In years gone by, the Scriptures provided meaning to the word "membership."  Since then, culture adopted the term and has emptied it of its meaning.  Now we commonly use the term out of biblical context. This podcast endeavors to restore biblical meaning to the term "member."  In so doing, we believe, each member of Christ's body will be encouraged.

The Bible is full of examples of expectations going unmet.  When we peer into these examples we find a common redemptive theme – God uses our failed expectations to meet His expectations for our good and His glory.

Solving the problem of unmet expectations is impossible, if the solution requires meeting our expectations.  However, if we position unmet expectations in a larger understanding of the gospel we find them redeemable.  Episode two is the second of a three part series on unmet expectations that carefully lays out this larger understanding.

More often that we would like, our expectations go unmet. Unmet expectations are unique losses that give rise to unique grief. From significant to trivial issues, unmet expectations are all too familiar and commonplace. The first episode of the three part series will construct an awareness of unmet expectations and an understanding of the loss and associated grief that rise from them.

Family worship does not come without opposition. To be sure, Satan wants to thwart our efforts. Yet, great hope can be offered to the struggling family when we find opportunity and redemption in these areas of opposition and struggle.

Careful intentional teaching concerning family worship is good practice.  What forms does it take?  ACCFS staff encourages parents in this sometimes daunting task.  Resources, techniques, attitudes and strategies are shared to equip parents in this endeavor.

Much of worship is caught.  Our children witness our lives day to day.  They see our devotion and catch our patterns.  Do we let them in on our worship?  ACCFS staff discusses this critical component of worship development in our families.

As parents, God has equipped us to lead family worship.  Corporate Family Worship is the first of 4 episodes in a series of conversations concerning the topic of family worship. Specifically in this first episode Matt Kaufmann interviews ACCFS counselors Craig Stickling and Brian Sutter on the topic of family worship in the context of Sunday worship.
