Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on what God's word has to say about the word hypocrite. Over the years many have left the church, stay away from the church and choose to not follow Jesus because they perceive the church is full of hypocrites. Why is that and what can we do about it?

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on the power of a question. In this episode Jed shares a radio program called the "Ask Your Preacher" radio show from the 1960s and 1970s that was met with great controversy and also great success all because of the combination of a question that is met with going back to the book and given a bible answer. While going back to the book is important...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on investing in our future home in heaven. So often we get bogged down and our eyes get set on the here and now.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on the two times in scripture where Luke records that Mary "Treasured these things and pondered them in her heart." (2:19, 51) How can we do better about deliberately soaking in the moments that God has put before us because God desires that we treasure these things, think on these things, ponder them and most importantly REMEMBER them. (Psalm 111:...

Send us Fan Mail Have we lost our ability to consider FIRST going back to the book (the Bible)? If 2 Timothy 3:16-17 is true that ALL SCRIPTURE is God breathed and inspired, then don't we need to be people that go back to the book no matter what we hear or watch or listen to from man? God says give this way, worship this way, live your life this way and in this episode we eat on the importanc...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on the reality of ending up going the wrong way on the right road. There is overwhelming data that suggests that the majority of all American's are Christians. Is that true? Is that what you see in the world around us? Is it possible that a great many of those saying "Lord, Lord" are actually going the wrong way on the right road? Let's e...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on TWO threefold charges given to Joshua in Joshua 1.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on three situations from God's word that would have seemed like it never would have ended...until...it did! Hold on! Hang tight!

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on the great comfort of God continually saying "I Got YOU!" From the very beginning we see God say to men like Moses (who doubted, questioned and lacked confidence)... "I Got You!" And what's more, He does! Or how about with David? A man who had the confidence but was overlooked by so many others. A man considered to be just a little...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode we eat on the idea of OPEN FOCUS. In these lives we live it is so natural for us to fixate and to focus on problems and issues that arise but where does that leave us? Usually tense, anxious, and in a position where we MISS everything else. By looking at Hebrews 12 and Matthew 6, we learn that really we should take an OPEN FOCUS away from myself and away from the 9...

If He did then what is so wrong with using it now? I don&ap...
