Things You Don't Hear in Church

Youth Groups are a pretty normal part of the Western Christian culture. For the most part, they're pretty influential.  In this episode, we discuss their importance, what their role is, and some pitfalls that may arise.  Enjoy!

People have many different perspectives on the world. Some are more excited and joyful, some tend to see things and think of life with a more negative outlook, and a lot are somewhere in the middle. Everyone falls somewhere on the spectrum of Optimism to Pessimism.  For Christians, we're asking which of these seems to be more in line with a Biblical mindset and worldview.  Enjoy! 

For the last few years, there has been a new thought making its way through the internet that the classical way we understand the word for "Homosexual" in the book of Leviticus is incorrect. This new idea makes the argument that it should be better understood as "pedophile" and that we need to change the way it's translated.    Today we discuss this and how we understand it if it's true with the t...

Experiences are great! However, they cannot be the only reason we follow God or call ourselves Christians. We believe in experiences and have had them ourselves, but there is also a serious logical side to knowing God that can be found out and give you solid truth to stand on when things get hard. 

How we answer the question regarding the nature of humanity is crucial in shaping our worldview. Today we discuss the different views and consult the Bible to shape how we answer this question.    Enjoy!

Addiction is something no one wants to have in their life, even though, almost everyone we know - including ourselves - may be addicted to something that can be very dangerous.  That thing is social media/technology and it's sneaky and unrelenting.  Today we discuss how to break this addiction and live in the freedom God wants you to live in. Enjoy!

So all last year a lot of people said God told them that Trump would be our president. Well that didn't happen and so now it's time to have a serious conversation about what is prophecy, who can do it, and how do we respond to self-proclaimed prophets who get things wrong.  God takes it seriously and so should we.  We hope this brings clarity, biblical truth, and all in all encouragement to your s...

So often we are told God loves us unconditionally. Simultaneously we are called to be like God. So, does that mean we are supposed to love unconditionally as well? Is that even possible?  Let's talk about it! 

Sovereignty is a big Christian word that gets used without a lot of definition sometimes. Today we discuss what it is, different views on it, and our thoughts regarding it.  We hope this episode is encouraging and comforting to you in these times of such uncertainty and ultimately leads you to love and trust God more!  Enjoy!

Happy New Year! As we navigate this upcoming year and the inevitable struggles that lay ahead we took some time to discuss foreseeable hardships for Christians and how to navigate those. Hardships were promised by Jesus but so was the Holy Spirit so we don't have to walk it alone.  Enjoy! 

We all go through times when we don't feel like believing, or life gets hard and you may want to give up on God, but those doubts don't have to be a reality! There is hope in tough times and that's what we want to talk to you guys about today!  Enjoy!

Have you ever tried to start a conversation with someone, maybe a friend, family member, or a stranger, about God and things pertaining to faith? Have you also been super nervous and didn't know where to start? We have too!  Both of us have been doing evangelism for about 4 years now and still get nervous at times. However, we've learned a few things along the way. We've seen some success and...

The Bible can be one of the most confusing and misunderstood books you read. What is it, how do I read it, where do I start? All valid questions! This week we talk about best practices for reading God's word and how to get the most out of it. 

This week we talk about drugs, specifically psychedelics, and if they open portals to the spirit world. There are a lot of stories people have while on drugs of seeing certain beings or spirit guides. Whether or not they are demons and portals into the spirit world, we wanted to shed some light on the topic and see how Christians could think of these things in a way that is honest and informative....

The Bible is probably the best tool that Christians can have in their life devoted to Christ. With that said, it seems people don't know why it's important or don't think it's important to read.  Today we discuss why Christians should read the Bible and its place in people's lives.  Enjoy!

Ever wonder why God doesn't just show up and reveal Himself? Whether that be in your room, in a trance, ripping the sky open, or some other crazy way? If He did, we'd all know about Him then and follow Him, right?  Great question! That's exactly what we're talking about this week on the podcast!  Any thoughts or questions go ahead and reach out to us! We'd love to hear from you! 

This week we discuss some reasons why Christians and Muslims seem to very much not like each other and how to reconcile the hurt that has been felt in both communities.
