What should we do with politics? As a Christian, should we even enter into this world? If so, how do we not get consumed by it? Let's talk about it together. Devotional– Ruth 3 Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith YouTube: Dangerous Faith

What's really underneath our loneliness? Is it just a feeling of "being alone," or is it so much more than that? Devotional– Ruth 2 Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith YouTube: Dangerous Faith

Our world is afraid, and it lashes out as a result of this fear. Sometimes, Christians are no better. Like Asaph, sometimes we are in distress. What do we do when we face an uncertain future? Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith

While overall I think this country is heading for a split, I do think we can make friends and create bonds across the aisle on an individual level. How do we do this? Let's visit our Psych 101 buddies from yesteryear, Abraham Maslow and his Hierarchy of Needs. Devotional– Ruth 1 Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith

We may not always realize it, but sometimes we are guilty of bibliolatry (Bible worship). Let's remember why the Bible exists! Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional– Ephesians 6:21-24

I'm putting aside politics for a moment and focusing on the state of the Church in America. I'm glad Trump lost in 2020 for this one reason. Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional: Ephesians 6:10-20

Lauren talks about how homeschooling has impacted her as a woman, a wife, a mother, and a child of God. Tune in to hear all about the craziness of family life in the Randall household. Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith

Every Christian goes through seasons of being lukewarm. Some people, however, get a little too comfortable in this season and like to live in it year-'round. What's the answer to being lukewarm? How do we fan that flame of passion for our faith? Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional: Ephesians 6:1-9

Last week, we talked about why America is so unique. This week, we are talking secession. Why? Well... in this life, all good things come to an end. Our country is so divided that there may be no good alternative to secession if we want to keep America moving forward.

Christians always talk about how we want good preaching. What does this look like? How can we identify it? Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional: Ephesians 4:17-29

What are the people in the pews meant to do? How can we step up and live the life God has for us? Warning: The answer may involve us changing our perspective and getting off the couch. Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional: Ephesians 4:7-16

Our heroes rise and fall, and we are so quick to put the blame on them. Hold on one moment! I think you and I need to point the fingers at ourselves, too. How can we stop this downward, destructive cycle from the machine that is the Christian Celebrity Industrial Complex? Instagram: nwdangerousfaith Twitter: @FaithDangerous Facebook: @NWDangerousFaith Devotional: Ephesians 4:1-6

As Christians, we get so worried about how we look to the world. We worry about our reputations. I'm here to tell us to CUT IT OUT. Yes, we are to be lights to the world. Yes, we are to be full of grace. However, the Gospel is offensive all by itself. We are to let it be offensive as God advances His Kingdom.

We're being taught to reject traditional authority, create our own destiny, and be our genuine selves. However, I'm not sure if this is wise. I think good, old-fashioned "duty" needs to make a comeback. What is duty? Why do we need it?

Everyone wants to know their Purpose. I'm here to tell you that you're probably living it through all the little "p"s of life. Live your life! Live it well! Plus, I talk about Nietzsche's eternal recurrence (what??) and Albert Camus' cheerful life question. Devotional: Ephesians 2:1-10

Paul failed, and so did many other heroes. You and I might fail one day. What do we do with failure? Let's pray to suffer well, for our hope is in the future with the return of the King.  Devotional: Ephesians 1:15-23
