Coffee in The Library

Welcome to coffee in the Library. Today we're diving into bitterness. We'll be asking: What is it? How do we kill it? Can a true Christian live in it for years? And what does the cross, the local church, and the Lord's Supper have to do with it?

Relationships are one of the clearest places where stewardship becomes visible. They reveal our capacity for love, patience, forgiveness, and truth. Scripture shows that we are not only accountable for what we possess, but also for how we treat and value people. Every relationship, whether family, friendship, or community, is an opportunity to reflect God’s character. In this episode, we explore w...

The words we speak are never neutral. They carry weight, shape relationships, and reveal what is in our hearts. Scripture teaches that the tongue has the power to bring life or destruction, and therefore it must be handled with wisdom and restraint. Stewarding the tongue is not only about avoiding harmful speech, but about intentionally using words to build, encourage, and bring truth. In this epi...

Do Baptist men have a game problem? How does godly wisdom shape how a man pursues a relationship with a lady? How important is having a "type" in deciding whether to pursue someone romantically or accept a pursuit, and is it okay to say no to someone just because they don't fit your type? In this podcast episode, taking a break from the "Entrusted" series, we will be exploring what it means to pur...

Good conversations are not built on speaking well alone, but on listening well. Listening is more than hearing words; it is giving attention, seeking understanding, and responding with wisdom. Many breakdowns in relationships happen not because people cannot speak, but because they do not listen well. Scripture highlights wisdom, patience, and understanding, which are deeply connected to how we en...

We are constantly being shaped by what we see, hear, and allow into our daily lives. Many of these influences don’t announce themselves as good or bad, they simply become familiar, and over time they shape how we think, speak, and live. Scripture calls us to be discerning and intentional about what we allow to shape our hearts and minds. In this episode, we explore how influences form us quietly,...

Stewardship is more than managing money; it’s a way of life that reflects our trust in God and our faithfulness with what He has entrusted to us.

Drawing from Scripture, we discuss practical and biblical guidance for living responsibly, faithfully, and intentiona...

Trauma is a word we hear often, but rarely sit with. Sometimes it's loud and obvious. Other times it's quiet, tucked away in our reactions, our fears, our patterns.

Yet as Christians, we know that our ultimate foundation for marriage is God’s Word, which calls us to reflect Christ and the Church in our relationships. Join us in t...
