Lifestyle In Christ

In this weeks continuation of The UnSung Hero's Of The Bible we discussed Josiah. We spoke on things such as Tradition, Influence, faithfulness, forgiveness and ones own faith and meaning of God. Another great point we touched on was promise. 1 John 1:9 states "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." God was...

In this weeks conversation we discussed the greatest example of humility. The story of Dorcas who was also known as Tabatha. Tabatha was the only documented female disciple. She showed us what it meant and looked like to be a servant and follower of Jesus. The story of her life also teaches us that God controls life and death and sometimes work through other humans to perform miracles so he can be...

You are what you eat, you become what you do daily...All these idioms are things we've heard before. Music has as much potential for evil as it has for good. Music is the one thing that connects to our souls. It has the power to give a nostalgic montage, the power to calm our worried minds and boost our moods. We invited Edwin Quiller on to help us breakdown this topic. Welcome to the Lifestyl...

Philippians 2:5-8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 7. But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: 8. And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.&quo...

Proverbs 11:14 states "Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety." In this weeks conversation we talk about the Jethro and his unsung hero story. Jethro was a priest in the city of Midian and also the father-in-law to Moses. Jethro believed in unity and longed to know about the true and living God. In this weeks conversation we go in depth...

As we proceed with our series of the unsung heroes of the Bible. We had a discussion about Mordecai. We discussed our wise, humble and noble of a man Mordecai was and what he meant to the believers. We also discussed how instrumental he was in the life of Esther and her contribution to the body of Christ.  Welcome to the Lifestyle In Christ podcast and thank you all for continuing the journey...

In this weeks discussion we invited one of our good friends/honorary cast members Jeremy Grimes. We had an extremely enlightening discussion on vision. We discussed how making it to the end of the assignment is far more important than the assignment. We are professional beginners, but very poor finishers. We must fulfill the vision so the mission can be accomplished and Gods purpose will be fulfil...

One of Paul’s famous quotes is “To live is Christ. To die is gain.” In this weeks discussion we concluded the segment of Saul and his conversion to Paul during and after his Demascus Road experience. We discussed how normal it has become for people who struggle with doubt to strike out at others in an attempt to silence their own doubts. Saul was mentored by one of the greatest scholars of that ti...

Everybody has a story. Everybody has an event that changed them. In this weeks conversation we discuss part one of a two part story of the story of Saul. We discuss the things Saul did before his conversion. We discussed how he "intensely persecuted" the followers of Jesus known as  “The Way”. Thank you for continuing this journey with us throughout this series as we discuss the Unsung Heroes...

When it comes to greatness. In the grand scheme of things, NO ONE has ever reached greatness alone. It always takes a team. But with a team, how can two walk together except they agree. To successfully fulfill the plan and destiny that God has for us, we must first order our steps according to his will, plan and purpose for our lives. God promised us in Proverbs 3:6 "In all thy ways acknowledge hi...

Many of us can relate to feeling overlooked, undervalued and underserved. Quite a few of us can resonate with the title of being an unsung hero: One who does great deeds but receives little or no recognition for them. In this weeks conversation we introduce the new series The Unsung hero's of  The Bible. In relation to the scripture Romans 8:28-30 "And we know that all things work together fo...

Proverbs 3:5-6 states. ”Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;   in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”  How far or how much are we willing to trust God with the things we consider to be unbearable? Are we willing to devout our entire lives to God or just the parts of our lives the the outside world can see?  Whe...

Albert Einstein stated “ I want to know God's thoughts, the rest are details.” To know how God thinks and operates would make pleasing him much easier and accomplishable. We have the next best thing to his thoughts. Which is his consciousness, also known as the Bible. Psalm 119:11 states, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Everything we could ever imagine in re...

Have you ever wondered why gifts are purchased for a persons birthday and everyone opens them except for the person who's birthday is celebrated? Or have you wondered why everyone buys a Christmas tree on Jesus's birthday, but not on your birthday or anyone else's birthday for that matter? Well, in this weeks discussion we discussed all of those topics and so much more. According to Jeremiah 10:1-...

Forgiveness is a very intricate piece in living the lifestyle of Christ. It allows us to move forward on our spiritual path. Forgiveness also encourages compassion. Through forgiveness you are able to relate to others as part of the humanistic experience. You feel for others as you do for yourself. Emotionally and psychologically. In our conversation today we discussed the art of forgiving and the...

In the continuation of last weeks discussion with Pastor Benn on handling the call. We finished the conversation with our guest Dana on finding what the "it" is and once you find it allow God to help you nurture and mature it. The conversation started out on a high note and continued to elevate quickly. Welcome to The Lifestyle In Christ. If you would like to support our podcast, please click...

We invited Pastor Benn back to have a discussion about Ephesians 4:11-12.  Apostle Paul wrote a letter to the Ephesians to help them understand the true nature and functioning of the church.  “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the b...

Have you ever wondered if God despised mumbling, griping and complaining? Or if there were consequences for being disobedient. Deuteronomy 28:15 “But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not ahearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:” In this weeks s...

Understanding stewardship is understanding that your life is not your own. Your life is a loan from God. Regardless if you acknowledge this or not. To every person in His kingdom, God has given the ability to be a productive steward under His ownership. We own NOTHING. Not even our own life because it can be taken. So tune in for this very insightful and enlightening conversation. Welcom...

Favor….hmm what is it? And why is it admired and desired so often. In  the Hebrew  translation. Favor is defined as grace,  delight, pleasure and good will. Favor can be found and it can also be obtained. Proverbs 22:1 “Loving favor is better than silver and gold.” Each day we have a stewardship with our personal lives, to surrender our lives to Gods purpose for our lives for THAT s...

This week we had an in-depth conversation about Romans 12:1-2. Presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice. Paul’s letter was an outcry to the believers to do more than just believe. He was begging them to live holy for God. To sacrifice fleshly desires  to honor the commandments of God and  what better way to do that them with our lives.  Check us out as we break down Pauls letter t...

Do you believe there are benefits in knowing God? If you are searching for who you are, but you don’t know who you are…how will you know when you’ve found you? What if I told you that your identity is tied to your birth ? Your identity will define your future. Therefore, if you define yourself wrong. You’ll function wrongly. If you define yourself right. You’re now on the path to functioning right...

This week we invited Pastor Benn back to close out the series segment on family. He shared his sentiments on how love is always the answer to bridging the gap between families. He also dispelled the belief on how just because your parents were one way, that doesn’t mean you have to carry that same weight of a burden because we all have to face the judgment seat of Christ on our own. We also discus...

In this weeks conversation, Pastor Benn stopped by and gave deeper insight on the conversation concerning Developing Your Spiritual Growth: Family vs. Christ. The focus question was. Are there consequences when it comes to spiritual growth and family? He stopped by to let us know that one can be family by blood and by spirit. Their not mutually exclusive. And in short answer, yes there are consequ...

In continuing the series and conversation of developing your spiritual growth. We furthered the conversation towards family and the ties and strongholds that often comes with it. We also discussed the difference between family and relatives. How relatives mean you’re just simply related and how with family you have options. You can choose your family to fit your journey in life as well as with Chr...
