Listen along as Paige, Zach and Charlsie describe some of their favorite Bible stories, explain details that stand out to them and talk about things they have learned from them.

I know the traditional understanding of this is be pure, holy, innocent in the midst of evil all around, looking to corrupt you, trying to catch you and devour you. But… Couldn’t this also have something more to it, especially since there is a follow up to this phrase that advises to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves?! So, journey with me down this tangent… When we learn and obey the truth...

Join the Discussion and Kay and Kevin rejoin along with Gil and hid daughter Madeline to discuss how they use the Bible or suggesting using the Bible in order to address general prejudices and racism.

I think the thing we have to be aware of is the concept that exists between races… it’s the same concept of people from different states or parts of the country regardless of race. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT! Things I do, think, believe, want, etc… are different from what you do, think, believe, want, etc… or at least they should be expected to be different, because you are not me and I am not you. We g...

Integrity is a scale (or a dial).   People are described as being someone of: High Integrity or Low integrity Full of Integrity or Lacking Integrity There really isn’t a way to describe someone in the middle, I mean the bible does… “lukewarm” But can you even say someone is mediocre-ly filled with integrity????

A modest or low view of one’s own importance; freedom from pride/arrogance Have you ever heard… “If you’re the smartest person in the room, then you’re in the wrong room.”  Humility says .. even if I am the smartest person in the room, no one will ever know that I know that nor will I even give the slightest hint that that’s the way I perceive myself... Humility is something that needs to be culti...

1 Peter 5:8 - Our Adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. I heard the analogy of when you're camping in a “wilderness,” some place where wildlife is prevalent or just possible to come in contact with, that you don’t leave food lying around. Various dangerous creatures (Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves, etc…) will venture into your camp to see what they can...

Do you have a Mind full of mush? Or… Are you mindful of much? 2 Corinthians 10:5 - Cast down everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

What is your opinion of Bible interpretations/versions? How much have you personally researched it? Which version do you typically gravitate towards? Keep in mind, we are to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling. Philippians 2:12 So… reading the bible, understanding it, following it, applying it, living by it, etc… it all up to me for me and my salvation, and ultimately if I get it wr...

At the heart of confidence is action.  It’s the willingness to try. If you try you’re not going to die, you’ll learn something.  When you learn something, it removes a little bit of the insecurity so it makes it slightly easier to try again. Philippians 4:13 - I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. (contextually, this is “ can overcome all things” or I can get through all things”)...

Picture God’s face when we say “I don’t need you, I can do it myself.” “I can do this and it won’t be that big of deal.” “I don’t need to talk to you.” “I don’t need to listen to your words.” “I don’t need people telling me how to fix my life.” “I can all things I want and when I want” “I hate you” “I wish I was never born” “It’s all your fault” “I’m leaving” Just picture the look of heartbreak an...

Casting Judgment vs Discernment You might feel that I’m splitting hairs with this one, and maybe I am.   Too frequently people feel “judged” by others, probably most prevalent in the church.  Then they blame the judgment and hypocrisy for the reasons they leave a congregation, or stop going to church altogether. What is this “judgment” that is being cast? Is it sending someone to hell, or saying t...
