Not Your Father's Faith

Let's get caught up and count a few blessings. And do you need to be of a certain age to know what sup hose are?

We left the bottom half of Jeff dangling in the last episode. This two parter wraps up as Jeff & Michelle's and the boys journey from Africa back to the United States where Freedom Life Center was born.

Jeff will surprise you when he reveals why funerals are better than weddings.  

Our friend and author Dave Stradling helps us anticipate the season day by day and week by week with hope, love, joy and peace. 

If it's better to give than receive, isn't the act of giving selfish because it makes the giver feel good? In other words, are we giving to make the receiver feel good or us? No matter what, we give you this episode with the hope you receive it with love. Oh, and it makes us feel good too.

When tragedy strikes, how do we have faith in a loving God that let us down? That didn't prevent this from happening? How do we not question everything? Well, Pastor Jeff and Scott do.

Jeff is back from Bimini challenging us to challenge the first couple of chapters in the bible. Will you cruise through this bible study or will you find yourself in rough seas? 

The importance of religion is on the decline but the importance of community is on the rise. And more people are open to spirituality. So why aren't people finding community in church? Why is the church not seen as a place that fosters the community people are desiring? Listen as we explore these questions with our friend Pastor Dave Stradling. 

Join us for a discussion about divorce. When can a marriage be saved? When has Pastor Jeff recommended a split? And are God-centered couples more likely to save their marriage?
