Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast

The Book Many of us own a copy. In fact, the stats say 85% of U.S. households have a Bible, and the average house has 4.3 Bibles. The problem with that stat is this: just because you have one doesn't mean that you're using it! So why is this book important? What is the point? The point of the Bible is to know God and to understand His ways. God could have easily simply created us and said, "Well,...

Hate Sin (part 2) Each of us are in a daily battle of choosing, "Am I going to live my day walking in what God has for me through Christ—am I going to live for Jesus? Or am I going to be dominated by my past sin, past shame, or sinful desires?" We have to know ourselves. We have to know our history. We have to remember where we've been and study our own game tape knowing what brings joy and what b...

Hate Sin (Part 1) How does God view sin? How does He see it? When God thinks about sin, what are His feelings? God hates sin so much and He hates what it's done to His creation. He hates what it does to people's hearts, relationships, marriages, families and communities. He hates what it does to His Church. He hates how it falls out in people's lives. What about us? Sometimes we don't really hate...

You're Qualified (part 2) You have a story. God doesn't want you to hide your story, but get comfortable with it and—when the opportunity arises—share it. When we choose to follow Christ, we become billboards of God's grace and God's hope. Your story is one of your greatest weapons. Jump back in with us this week as we continue the discussion on the two words: You're Qualified. LOCKER ROOM DISCUSS...

You're Qualified (Part 1) God uses broken people. That's all He has. God doesn't call the equipped; He equips the called. Jesus desires for you to partner with Him to live your life on mission. Too often we think God is looking for the powerful, the affluent, the charismatic—people with dynamic personalities. We think God is looking for ability and what He's really looking for is availability. He...

Two Words: Crush Pride "Pride is your greatest enemy; humility is your greatest friend." —C.S. Lewis. Pride makes everything about us. We're the center of the universe—it's all about me… Prideful men are everywhere; humble, confident men are hard to find. Here's the reality: God can do anything in a humble man and He won't do anything with a prideful man. We've got to choose what kind of man we wa...

Click Here for the video podcast Two Words: Own It Own it. The mindset for this week is transparent ownership. Transparent ownership is about taking personal responsibility. It's about personal accountability. It's being socially, emotionally, and relationally aware of how we operate. Owning it is self-awareness of our words, actions, reactions, and motivations. It's having a pulse on your persona...

Your Enemy We all have an enemy. We actually have real enemies . The Bible tells us our enemies are Satan and demons, the world, and the flesh. This is important, because it doesn't matter if you're playing high school sports or entering the ring in the UFC; to have a chance of winning, you need to know your enemy. With this week's guest Gary Black, we'll do a deep dive on Satan and demons and lea...

Two Words: Be Accountable We've each got a shot at moving beyond where we are and towards the men that God wants us to be—but we need a band of brothers—we need a couple guys. God wants us to step off the island and have some guys that we can count on. And there are guys that need to be able to count on us. We all need these relationships. Join us on this week's podcast as Scott talks about being...

Worship Jesus We all worship something. We're all worshippers. It just depends on who or what we worship. For followers of Jesus, worship is our response—both personally and corporately—to God for who He is, and what He's done; expressed by the things we say and the things we do—by the way we live our lives. This week Scott is joined by Mike Vandemark to talk about his heartbeat of using the gift...

Two Words: Life Change Jesus didn't just come to forgive and love us, but to free us, unburden and heal us. This week Scott sits down with Edgar Saborit to hear how deciding to follow Jesus has changed his life for the better. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. - Ezekiel 36:26(NIV) LOCKER ROOM DISCUSSIO...

Two Words: Fine Print This week we're talking about the fine print of the Christian life. If we're not careful we can talk about faith in a way that sounds easy or irresistible—rainbows and unicorns—as if everything is just great all the time. It's not true. The Bible doesn't promise any of this. This week's episode is titled fine print; but not because God is hiding something from us or trying to...

"You're invited!" When Jesus says you're invited...he means it. He knows everything about us and yet he still pursues us. What is Jesus inviting us into? How do we respond? Join us this week as we sit down with Jon Weece to talk about the greatest invitation we've been given. We'll dive into the steps to accept Jesus' invitation and celebrate how he redeems our stories to help reach others. This s...

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." --A. W. Tozer If you were asked to describe Jesus in two words, what would it be?  It's a great question, right? It's very telling of what we know or understand about who He is. We're kicking off this season of Locker Room by taking each week to talk about 2 Words. Each week we'll have two words that drive ou...
