Breaks and Builds // S11E01 He is molding us. He is faithful to complete the work in us. Though the conviction from His word, His breaking process, may not feel comforting in the moment, we are being broken down to be built up more like Him. To be sanctified, in the likeness of the Son.... The post 135: The Good, Bad, and Ugly appeared first on The Pantry Podcast .

Reasons to Go! // S10E12 Why do we go? Why do we share our faith? Each and every person on this earth is going one of two places for eternity.

God has a plan // S10E11 We are commanded to go. To go and share His news, to love, and to care for people. Not to just choose one part that you like most, but to do all He has commanded.

Vertical Source, Horizontal Reach // S10E10 God is not limited. He does not only operate in the culture or groups we are a part of. He is the God of all creation!

Sowing // S10E09 Even the largest of trees have small, even minuscule beginnings. They begin as a tiny seeds, that have no resemblance to what they will become. And so it is with spiritual seeds. They may not seem like much, but they are so valuable and absolutely necessary! And the beautiful thing is that...

Going and Showing // S10E08 When we use our gifts for God’s glory and lean into God’s definition of love, we end up going and showing—not just telling. We’re a whole lot of clanging cymbals if we lack love, and that is one of the reasons why Christianity can have a bad rap in certain...

Pearls Before Swine, Reprobate Minds // S10E07 Is there someone too far gone for God to accept? Is there anyone you should just pass by when sharing the Gospel?

REJECTION // S10E06 We’re called to go and tell the world the Good News, but we know that we won’t always be warmly received. Rejection is tough.

How do you handle hate like Jesus? Are you nervous about sharing the Gospel with people who hate you, hate Jesus, or maybe just hate when beliefs are brought up?

Nature // S10E04 Just as God created many upon many different types of creatures, each with their own abilities and specialties, so God creates us, humankind, each with our own gifts and talents. Because of this, we don’t do things the same… especially in sharing His gospel. By His grace, there are many ways, ways... The post 125: Silent, but Loud with America’s Nature Guy Peter Schrie...

Truth in Love // S10E03 We are called to and long to share the truth, the gospel of Jesus Christ with others. Yet, sometimes it is a struggle not to compromise our message for the sake of others opinions or friendships. But this doesn’t have to be the case! Today, James Rayment joins us to...

Biblical Truth // S10E02 A recent study reported that only 17% of professing Christians have a Biblical worldview. In the battle for souls, we are called to rightly handle the truth—which means there is a wrong way. How do we share the Word and have a defense for the hope we have without a Biblical...

Discerning // S09E12 Judge not. So says the first verse of Matthew 7. A verse more misinterpreted than possibly any other in scripture. In today’s episode we dive into what the context and true meaning of Matthew 7 tell us about this verse. What Jesus is telling us about not judging as well as the...

Understanding God’s Will // S09E11 Don’t quench the Spirit… but what does that mean? What does quenching even mean in the first place? In todays episode we unpack this idea and focus on what we are called to do, allowing His Spirit to work in us, the opposite of quenching the Spirit. And when we...

God’s plan for us // S09E10 Freedom and surrender are two words that you don’t often see paired together, but in the Christian walk, that’s exactly where they ought to be!

Starting Over // S09E09 We are all broken, whether we realize it or not. We are all rebellious, whether we realize it or not. And we all need Christ, whether we think we do or do not.

Imagination Issues // S09E08 Sin. The great sickness all suffer from. Yet, there is healing for us that comes from one place, and one place only, that is our Father.

His Light and Easy Burden // S08E07 Who are you connected to? And who ought we to be connected to? Anything we latch on to in this world is only temporary. It will all to soon be gone.

Serving Him // S09E05 There are two choices in life. To serve Him, or to reject Him. One leads to an eternity of grace, the other to an eternity of suffering. Though the world may call His way evil, believers, as part of the house of the Lord must take our stand against these things...

Finding Christ’s Plan // E05S09 We do not have to be trapped. Our sexual shame so often becomes the tallest wall preventing us from deliverance from the very sin that leads to that shame!

The Dorean Principle // S09E03 Money. Possibly no single thing causes human kind more debate and strife than that of money. And from a Christian standpoint, how should we view money?
