This Jesus Life Podcast

Love is Kind. Kindness is an interesting idea and countercultural for most of us in how we are to live. What happens if someone takes advantage of my kindness? Does kindness mean I can never say something that will hurt someone's feelings? Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

We start our new season all about relationships. Relationship with Jesus and with one another. We can't do relationship well if we don't know how to other each other well. This week we talk through Love being patient and how difficult it really is to live out. Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

Relationships are difficult; they take time and intentionality and can be the greatest place of pain in our lives. But we are still called to be in them and good at them. Jesus called us to Love God and Love people. He called us to relationship. This week we start the conversation about how to do relationships well.

It is 2020, there are plenty of things to worry about. But what if Jesus' way to not worry could actually help us find freedom and enjoy this life again.

This week, we cover God's faithfulness and share some stories from our friends and listeners of this show.  Often times we struggle to see God's faithfulness when we are in the midst of struggle and heartache, but God is faithful and He is at work.

God is good. I know you’ve heard it said a thousand times, but what do you do when it doesn't feel that way. This episode Andrew and Josh take on the characteristics of God that He is Just, the definition of Love, and Merciful. How do you rectify God being good and the evil in this world? How does it affect our relationship with Jesus?

Control is a scary word in our world today, but our view of God's Throne Characteristics: Sovereign, Holy, Absolute Truth, Righteous, gives us confidence and security in this life and relationship with Him. In this episode, we try to break down these characteristics and their impact on our lives and relationship with Jesus.

Having a big view of God can be the difference between having hope or not having hope. We continue our series of helping us have proper views of God. This week we unpack God's characteristics of being All-Powerful, All-Knowing, and All-Present and what they mean in our day to day view of God.

Our view of God has such a drastic effect on our relationship with God. What if our view of God is wrong or incomplete? How would that impact our outlook and perspective? In this episode, we talk about our faulty views of God, their impact on our lives, and how to change them. Questions or topics, please email us at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

If you've spent any time as a Christian, you know that the Jesus Life can be full of mountain top highs and deep valley lows. The swing can be exhausting and discouraging. Join in our conversation this week as we talk about how to manage these swings and have much more mountain top highs.

We weren't made to go through life alone! In this discussion, we focus on the current state of the community, overreaching expectations, and Jesus-centered ways to pursue building a healthy genuine community in a simple way.  We hope it helps you build deeper community, or take your first crack at it!

Spending time with Jesus daily isn't the easiest thing, but is one of the most important Jesus habits you can build.  This week we talk through what that looks like for us and how you might start.  We just want you to give it a shot!

This week we focus on three keys to living out a meaningful relationship with Jesus: Silence, Prayer, and Confession.  The key to all this is that you shouldn’t expect God to do crazy stuff in your life unless you’re doing some of these regular Jesus habits in an honest way!

Let's talk about the habits Jesus practiced during his time on earth and how we can replicate these practices in our life to grow in our dependence and relationship with Jesus. We want to help you have time with Jesus that feels like a close friend. This week we talk about those Jesus Concerts, taking naps, and hunger strikes.

As followers of Jesus, we want to live in the freedom that Jesus has provided us. We decided to take on the topic of the Old and New Covenant and how they apply to our lives as Christians. It may not what you expected or maybe you completely agree. Let us dive into this topic that all of a sudden has become controversial. 

Have you ever smoked, chewed, or hung with those who do? Let's talk about how to practically think about these things. We cover everything from addiction, to support, to loving your brother/sister well when they mess up. Enjoy!

Don't use that potty language! Or do? What is cursing anyway? If you've thought about this, gotten in trouble for using bad words, and ever thought about how funny Christian curse word replacements are - you're not alone!  Josh and Andrew share embarrassing stories and tackle this one head-on!

Shame sucks and most people have it and live in it, but you don't have to. As a follower of Jesus you have access to freedom. Join Andrew and Josh as they talk about shame, grace, and finding freedom. Be sure to listen to the very end of this one (or just skip ahead), it is pure gold and very helpful.

Too spiritual? Not spiritual enough to hear the voice of God? This week we dive into a conversation about hearing the voice of God. Depending on your background, hearing God's voice may seem like a normal place or way out of the left field. Either way, Andrew and Josh talk about experiences when they heard God's voice and how they discerned it was God, Himself.

Sometimes you just need to shake your head at people's behaviors as they act like cartoon characters. This week we explore common Christian stereotypes we see in the church. Not a great look for Christians, but let us be honest, we all fall into one of these stereotypes from time to time. Enjoy this conversation between Andrew and Josh.

And it begins. We started a podcast to help people find hope. As just two normal dudes that love and follow Jesus, we hope to help you do the same. We start this podcast by introducing ourselves and talking through what we hope to accomplish with this podcast. We on the watch for more episodes coming really soon.
