It's scary to talk about Christian works without a TON of disclaimers, well that's what last week's episode was for (we talked about righteousness before God coming through Christ, go listen or watch) AND this week is simplifying a view of our works as a response to what God has done. BOOM.   say hi 2 Steven @thegardenaudio     subscribe, follow & leave reviews bc ur cool &...

Righteousness is our position before God by means of faith and not works! It's ALL over the scripture, yet why to we complicate it so so SO much?? Alongside righteousness we're discussing Brooks & Dunn, Mars Hill, tea bags, and Steven's kids.

Forgiveness is one of the core aspects of the gospel and therefore one of the main attributes a Christian should possess, right? Well then it makes sense why there are so many beliefs out there concerning how we should forgive and what actions should surround that forgiveness, so many in fact that it can get EXHAUSTING. Let's make it simpler, shall we?   Go leave a ❤️ on Steven's most recent...

Most believers would say that prayer is an essential Christian practice, so essential and normal in fact that it is hardly discussed and is just formulaically placed in church services or around dinner tables and often stripped of its weight.

Regardless of your age or where you're from, how a Christian should approach depression comes with a ton of differing and complicated responses.

It's time for a SIMPLER view.   give Steven a big k...

We've talked about the prophets and now it's time for THE GOSPELS! It's the go-to starting point for most Christians beginning to read the scripture, but how do we really apply them?

If you've been to a Christian service of any kind, there's probably been a portion of it dedicated to worship usually in the form of song. Why though? Is it just tradition or does it have weight in the life of a Christian? Why do people get so intense regarding different styles?
