The Late Paul Gray shares a passionate perspective on the topic of ‘forgiveness.  Paul was one of the most amazing souls that shared the love of God in the most gentle and profound way.   This particular interview was shared a few years ago as a lead up to a conference called ‘Understanding Forgiveness’.  There is so much to learn and unlearn on this topic, may this conversation encourage you to k...

Paul will be sharing responses to many questions that you and I have about loss, despair, pain in our lives and will try to help us navigate through them.  The goal is to find some ‘hope in the pain’.   While this conversation occurred over three years ago, it is still relevant today as many continue to struggle with these questions and more.  Enjoy   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu...

Your Perspective May Say More About What You Believe About God Than You think.  The story of their death has been preached about from many perspectives over the past 2000 years.  If you grew up like I did, being taught that ‘God killed them’, you may really enjoy this discussion then.  The interpretation of this story never sat well with me, as it didn’t seem to align with how Jesus treated those...

(To judge or not to judge, this perspective may surprise you) We all ‘judge’, so how do we navigate a ‘Biblical’ exhortation to not judge?   What does the word actually mean?  Is there any ‘wiggle room’ to judge?  What do we do with Biblical text that seem to suggest we ‘should judge’??  This conversation will encourage you or make you stop to re-ponder what you once thought ‘judging’ meant.  Enjo...

(Finding Better Ways To Understand & Process Anger) Enjoy this second important conversation with Richard Murray.  Is it ok to get angry?  How do we process our emotions when we are angry?  There are so many questions that are not talked about regarding ‘anger’, especially among those who identify as ‘Christian’.  May this conversation encourage you and give you a bit more hope.   Watch Today’...

Does God really have ‘favourites’?? Does He protect some and not others? Does He bless some and not others? It seems many Old Testament writers seemed to imply this concept of karma and applied it to how ‘God’ seems to work. When Jesus arrived, he corrected these faulty concepts of His father and lived His life as an example of that truth. Enjoy this important conversation with Bill Thrasher &...

Your perspective on ‘end times’ will likely be determined by your concept of who you think ‘God’ is, and what the character of ‘God’ is like. Unfortunately, many don’t know that there could be a direct correlation. This discussion touches on a few concepts of ‘end times’, it also explores why your understanding matters. If you have only been taught ‘one’ way to understand this topic, you may great...

There are stages in our life where we have epiphanies or a rude awakening to something we were not aware of. In our faith journey, it is exactly the same. The things we believed as a child about God change when we become young adults. Very few take the time to hear those who have grown into full adulthood in their faith maturity. They have much to offer us. Perhaps recognizing some of the ‘markers...
