Is it rational to believe in God and be in line with science? The Big Bang theory and evolution are often used as proofs against God’s existence, but is that really what they state? We’ll discuss the origin of the universe and of mankind in this podcast.

Misconceptions: I know I’m saved because I prayed a prayer, got baptized, go to church, etc. These aren’t how God tells us we can know. So, how can we? We’ll look at 1 John 5:1-5 to gain clarity into this important topic.

Does Jesus really command us not to judge people? What does he mean when he says not to judge? How can we biblically confront others? We'll look at Matthew 7:1-5 and see what Jesus is and isn't saying when he tells us not to judge others.

How can we truly live a gospel worthy life? How can we live others focused rather than self focused? What should the genuine concern of our hearts be?

Philippians 2:12-18. We are called to work out our salvation. What does that mean? What does it look like? What is Paul calling us to do?

What does the Bible have to say about marriage? Are gender roles really a thing of the past or are they still for today? We'll look at Gen. 1-3 and Eph. 5 to gain a gospel perspective on both of these topics.

Does singleness have a purpose? Does singleness mean second best? NO. Rather, God ordains singleness for a period of time for all of us, and it is for a specific reason.
