Reality Speaks

We are back! It’s been a busy couple of months but we are back and trying to be above average with episode 9! We talk about what’s been going on in our lives, how vacation went, and how having baby feels a lot like waiting for the rapture.

So we saw this video the other day talking about baby Koalas and had an actual spiritual revelation come out of it. I promise this is going somewhere!!

Join us as we discuss the ways that we have been taught to pray, using the Five Finger Prayer, the Lord's Prayer, and Praying Through the Tabernacle. All of these help us in understanding the importance of praying through the process, and even when we don't see or feel it the Lord is always moving.

No live stream this week so join us for a brief talk over ice cream about free will, blasphemy, and redemption. Ya know! Super casual stuff!

Join an impromptu discussion on what it’s like to obey and wait through the storm. Some singing, some Bible talk, and some life updates scattered throughout!

ANNNND WE ARE BACK. Wrapping up the series on how to use the Word of God as a Christian in this modern world.

Whether it's little pocket version handed out on a college campus, or an expensive real cowhide leather version that costs hundreds of dollars it is absolutely invaluable. This value can never be appreciated however without...

How well do you know your Bible? Can you quote it? How many verses do you know?

It is ranging anywhere from 100- 600 verses per year. Something some Bible College graduates c...
