What is discipleship? If you asked multiple Christians and pastors what discipleship is and an even tougher question: how do we implement it in our churches, you would receive multiple responses. There is a lot of confusion and guessing that surrounds the idea of Christians discipling other Christians. There is also an issue of a lack of discipleship in the lives of many Christians and churches. O...

One thing that I have been told over and over and over again by people (parents, friends, neighbors, etc.) is that Christianity or, more broadly speaking, religion is not for them. I've invited parents of teens at my church to my church before, and that is the response that I have gotten. I bet all of us Christians have noticed that people are turned off today to any type of organized religion. We...

Writing a sermon is a difficult task, especially when you are just beginning to preach or someone asks you to speak. In this podcast, Christian and I discuss how we right sermons.

We specifically want to help youth leaders and pastors write sermons with youth as the audi...

So, in this podcast Christian and I dig deep into the clash of the theological realm...

In this podcast, Christian interviews myself (Jonathan) about being a funeral home associate. We, of course, talk about what the normal work of a funeral home is, but we also discuss the effects of the job. We spend a great deal of time discussing the emotional burden of the job, along with the spiritual burden of the job. Does this open up doors for evangelism? Does it change the way I think abou...

I'm sure you have heard by now, but the historical decision of Roe. v. Wade has been overturned by our current supreme court.
