Not Alone // E163 How many times have we fallen for the same one of the Devils schemes over and over? Back to that same old pattern of sin… the one we just can’t seem to shake? And then, even after repentance, we drown in shame. This is not what Christ desires! He came to... The post 163: How to Beat the Devil’s Playbook appeared first on The Pantry Podcast .

Apologies and Forgiveness // E162 How do you apologize and forgive your spouse? When you disagree and fight what do you do to reconnect? Do you seriously repent, apologize and forgive one another, or do you try to just ignore the fact it happened. Do you bring up his or her past mistakes over and...

Yeah but… // E161 How many times have we said it: “Yeah… but.” Even worse is when we do that to God! We see this throughout scripture as fallen humanity questions what God has asked them to do. Yet this really shows a lack of faith from us to God. Today we dig into how... The post 161: A Very Dangerous Thing to Say to God (and What to Say, Instead) appeared first on The Pan...

Design // E160 A.I. . . . What even is A.I.? How is it constantly changing and what role should or shouldn’t it have in our lives? How do we weigh it’s usefulness with the bias it inherits from it’s creators? And most importantly how ought we to obey God and honor Him as our... The post 160: How Should Christians Engage A.I.?

Abide in His Word // E159 How is your marriage centered, or how do you want/think it ought to be centered? Of course our personal relationship with Christ is extremely important to a Godly marriage, but so is an intertwined spiritual life. When two come together in marriage, they are joined into one flesh. Therefore,... The post 159: How We Corrected Our HUGE Marriage Mistake appeared first on The...

Go and Make // S12E08 How does discipleship impact us practically? Why is it so valuable? How ought we to submit to those in spiritual authority over us as a way to be discipled? What does it really mean to pour into and to invest in the lives of others, or have someone do the...

Availability // S12E07 Do you want to be poured into? Are you craving a mentor, spiritual guidance and wisdom? Or even peers who have a desire to love God and to grow in Him? Ask God! And sometimes the answer is to first make yourself available to others. If we want so badly to receive,...

The People Closest // S12E06 Whether it be children, or parents, or a spouse, whatever members of your family you interact with, discipleship needs to be there also. We can get so caught up focusing on the world outside our homes, that we forget those already inside that are needing just as much nourishment as...

What it takes // S12E04 Discipleship has a price. First, as disciples of Christ, we determine that we will give all to be His disciples. So, because of that we also seek out models whom we can imitate in Christ, and at the same time, want to do the same for others. But this also...

LEARNING WELL // S12E03 If you’re unable to hear the truth and accept correction, your discipleship relationships will fall short.

Pouring In // S12E02 Who should disciple us, when, how… so many questions. In today’s episode we look at the basics of discipleship and varying ways it’s done. Again focusing on the need to become disciples of God and not disciples of another man as we look at the book of Acts following Paul, Barnabas,...

Discipleship // S12E01 Is Jesus enough for us? This one seems obvious: Yes absolutely. But this idea is to often warped in ways that keep us from really growing through discipleship. Of course Jesus is enough for our salvation and what we truly need in life. However, one of the best ways to become more...

God’s Grace To Us // SPECIAL As we enter a period after intense gift giving, charity, and consideration for others…what can the Church (you) do to meet the needs that aren’t being met?

In Need of Community // Special Some ideas and plans are clearly not from God, simply because they aren’t godly themselves, but everything is more difficult when the plans seem in line with godliness and beneficial to ministry etc. but yet God still closes the door on them.

Biblical or Not? // S11E11 When there is no single definition and anyone voting in alignment with their faith can be labeled a Christian Nationalist…The real question remains: is it even biblical? Looking at definitions and real world examples, we assess how various aspects of the view hold up against basic Bible principles. Verses from... The post 144: Christian Nationalism? A Balanced Take appea...

Roles // S11E10 What is going on with men in the church? While the women of the church seem to get involved with one another so easily, the men don’t. Women’s ministries and meetings are frequent and praised. Men’s ministry is often quite infrequent and tucked in a corner. This needs to change… however, men...

God > Things // S11E09 What’s more important to you? God, or your money? God, or your possessions God, or anything you could ever have? The truth is always God. However, it’s easy to say, but hard to do. If we are not careful these mindsets may sneak into us and distort the purpose of...

In Contact With God // S11E07 Our prayer is vital! And not only our personal prayers, but also the corporate prayers of the body of Christ.

Losing Our First Love // S11E06 We have two options, either we believe God, or we believe the World. We love God, or we love the World. Yet God is so much greater! Why are we so quick to fall for these things that are opposed to Him? And, the more we let little lies,... The post 140: Leaving Your First Love appeared first on The Pantry Podcast .

Attached to the Word // S11E05 We need wisdom. Not the wisdom of this world. Godly wisdom. And we must learn to act on our wisdom. Solomon was granted by God to be the wisest man in the world, and yet he ended up committing horrible sins, no longer acting on the wisdom he had...

STAND DOWN // S11E04 What are we fighting for? The Lord, or our opinions? When the study of God becomes more important than our pursuit of Him, we find division and distrust among brothers and sisters in Christ. We learn much from Scripture, but Spirit-filled believers seem to still come to varying conclusions that often... The post 138: Theology Wars with Apologist Philippe Serradji appeared firs...

Within the Church // S11E03 How well are we, and our churches as a whole prepared to provide for the needs of those inside the church?

God over All // S11E02 Do you live one life, all under His rule? Or are having you been, consciously, or unconsciously, compartmentalizing. Giving you Sunday’s and maybe your Wednesday bible study to God, but shutting Him out of your daily life. God has given us everything… therefore nothing is our own. Everything is His!...
