Have you ever struggled to know whether a pastor was qualified for their job? Or if they were doing the things a pastor should be doing? Ever wondered what the Bible says about what the role of a pastor is? This is a contentious topic in the Church today, but thankfully, it is not a new one. By using historical context, solid biblical interpretation, and wise application in our lives, we can put t...

Have you ever wanted to read the Bible more deeply? Maybe you grew up in a church community where you became dependent on a preacher or priest to do the work for you?

Christianity tends to drift to extremes regarding beliefs in spiritual beings in the unseen world. On one side, it is never discussed, and a culture of fear results. On the other, spiritual beings are hyper-sensationalized to the point where fear also results. In this series, we will examine what the Bible says about the spiritual space, what beings inhabit it, and how we can interact with it in a...

We do a lot of odd things in the Christian faith. The danger of being a long-time Christian is that we can spend our whole lives doing these things, and why we do them never gets explained. The danger of being a new Christian is that many church communities cannot tell you why we do what we do because no one ever told them. We just do them. This series aims to examine the Christian faith's traditi...

In this age of technology and social media, it can be easy to feel like we know someone simply by their content. Sadly, this has led many to have a false sense of intimacy with someone, only to find out later that they do not know them as well as they thought. The same is true of our relationship with God; we can confuse knowledge of His content with His character. When we endure trauma, loss, and...

When will the world come to an end? Are we in the last days? Are you worried about being left behind? These are questions I often heard when I was growing up. In church services, we would listen to sermons on how Jesus was coming back soon and that a massive time of tribulation was about to go on for the Church around the world. Fears of the Antichrist, the Mark of the Beast, and fiery judgment le...

As a Christian and a military servicemember, I often get asked questions concerning how I can be willing to serve in the military and be part of an organization that exists to kill others. This idea is not new to Christianity or American military service members. How we understand, process, and apply our warfare concepts has a massive impact on our American experience. In this episode, we will cel...

In our current American culture, morality for the three most recent generations has been built around feelings, social norms, and legal codes. The problem with each of these foundations is that they shift over time and bend to the group's demands. Without a fixed point of reference, they force people to live like someone lost in the dark without a clear direction. Thankfully, there are ways we...

People are naturally attracted to cults. We wonder what they are, what they believe, and how regular people come to be part of them. We also wonder how to spot them when they start forming to protect ourselves from them. The problem is that numerous groups and organizations, including the Church, have cultic characteristics. If that is true, how do we know if we are part of a healthy church commun...
