Hey homies! Hope you are good this fine early 2023. What is more important, grace or works? You might get shunned for saying works in the Christian world, but does it make sense to look at works and grace separately from each other? Are we missing the boat??

Yet another day graces us with a question from one of our listeners. Today: how can we use our agency to help others practice their agency for good?

SUMMARY: Yooooo! Welcome to today’s episode. We are super grateful to all you who listen and for your questions and involvement – we really feel this season is different and more powerful because of YOU! Today, Cody and Lenny dig into the question of “What do you do when even the desire to do basic gospel things has left you?” This is a powerful question and probably someth...

“Be still and know that I am God.” This is one of the most powerful scriptures we have that’s packed into 8 words or less. What does it mean exactly to “be still”? And how can we be still when the world seems crazier than ever with pandemics and wars and prices going up etc? This place is crazy! Our conversation today centers around stillness and how we can control so...

Hey hey hey you bunch of rapscallions, welcome to Springtime! Today’s episode asks a question we’ve all probably thought about to some degree or from some angle, at the very least: are friends / family / people who live the gospel on the “edge” of the line receiving the same blessings as those who are not? There’s a lot of ways to live the gospel, but there are assure...

This may be considered the title episode of Season 5 as we discuss what you do when there is no black and white gospel answer to your questions.

We try to focus on what we d...

Plus, we look at ways that God, sacred routines and good habits can create more time in our day by helping us use what available tim...

Standards help guide us in our spiritual and moral journey. The day to day task we do to maintain our spirituality, like reading and praying, become our sacred routines. These practices can be a standard to us. Without this dedication or structure, we can easily fall prey to being “tossed about with every wind or doctrine” and struggle to keep our testimonies. The day to day worship makes the bigg...

We’re back at Random Word Generator this week! We jump into a conversation about moving ourselves in a spiritual sense. Sometimes we need to move mountains. Sometimes we need to scale them or go around them. Sometimes we need to wait for a storm to move over us. At any rate, we are in a constant state of motion and it’s up to us to decide which direction that motion takes us.  — Twitter...
