Have you ever intentionally fasted for spiritual purposes? Maybe you've read about it in Scripture, thought about implementing it as a spiritual practice in your life, but weren't sure where to start or if it was right for you.

In this episode, we're continuing our occasional series where we take a deeper look at verses that are often taken out of context. We often hear one-liner verses used to justify something.

In this episode, we're...

You're not going into full-time ministry. You're not trying to be a pastor, a full-time missionary, a Bible teacher, or anything in that realm. Why would you need to study theology?

"If an addict is talking about freedom from addiction, in my mind, humility is my journey away from an egotistical, "I am the center of my universe" mindset. I am a recovering "egotistian" (is that a word?). This conversation is not coming from a place of arrival, but a continuous journey." -Jake Hatfield Living with humility is merely to recognize and live in reality. Anything that we pursue (mon...

As the American Church, we've often come to view discipleship as a meeting with someone for an hour a week at a coffee shop, sitting, studying the Bible, and praying.

Next week we'll be talking all about...

In this episode, we're talking about a hotly debated question- should you give to people who beg for money?

Today we're doing a deep dive into what can be a hot topic in the Church: speaking in tongues. Tongues is clearly described as a spiritual gift in Scripture, but there is much debate over whether it has ceased, whether it's required for pastors/elders, whether it's the true mark of a Believer, etc. In this episode we break down what the Bible says about speaking in tongues, and how we believe thos...

There are many times that we hear Bible verses, whether through listening to a podcast, reading a blog, or even listening to a sermon. When we hear only a single verse it can sound like it means one thing, but when we evaluate the context (the chapters surrounding that verse, who the author was, who the audience was, the historical component, etc), it actually means something totally different tha...
