Wake Before the Day

Jesus + ___ = Salvation is not only unbiblical it's exhausting! Galatians 5 talks about what freedom in Christ really looks like!

Be careful not to believe the lie that "following the rules" will save you. A godly life starts with what Christ has done not what you will do.

Let's talk about GRACE! Our daughter Kirbie joins in on this conversation as we unpack Galatians 3, grace and our identity as sons and daughters of God.

A double life is exhausting. There is freedom in consistency! Be guided by the unchanging Word and Spirit of God.

We join Paul in battling for the "true Gospel". Most of this debate occurs within the church and can get complicated at times. An understanding of biblical "grace" is crucial to understanding the "true Gospel". Let's dive into Galatians 1!

Jude is a dynamic and jam packed letter calling for believers to "contend for the faith"! Let's discuss the words of Jude and his encouragement to move from sensuality to sanctification!

Philemon encourages us to apply the grace of the Gospel into personal relationships especially when things are tense!

We're called to: speak Jesus, know your stuff, prepare to encourage and give the hard truth and ...do so patiently!

We can't appear moral, just, kind and ignore the power that brings about real change. True change comes from following Jesus and obeying His Word.

Things may be legal but not beneficial. Instead of getting distracted with worldly things cultivate a godly life.

Fight timidity and fear with preparation. Don't mistake being quiet for being timid. Let's discuss the Spirit God gave us.

There seems to be a correlation to "coveting" and a departure from the faith. How does one become content? Check out 1 Timothy 6!

The way you live your life greatly influences those around you - for better or for worse! The first part of this chapter deals with the command to take care of the physical needs of those around you, especially family. The latter part discusses the call to spiritually walk in purity and again understand that the decisions you make today will potentially lead to generations of godliness or generati...

Diligent. Focused. Intentional. Words that should describe a believer's walk with God. Do those words apply to you?

Let's talk about leadership roles within the church and the blessing that comes when this is done well!

1 Timothy gives us words of wisdom when it comes to our attitude towards political leaders and in addition to this we're encouraged to keep our worship distraction free.

Sound doctrine (belief) and right living (action) are connected! The good news is God can redeem and restore anybody!

Paul knew the "success" of ministry in someways depended on prayer. Revisit what biblical prayer looks like and the power of God that flows from it.

Are we in the end times? What does the Bible mean when it says we're waiting for the "Day of the Lord?" We respond to these questions and find a great deal of hope knowing that God is a God of order and peace. Let's discuss 2 Thessalonians 2

God's goodness can be questioned in hard times. The early church put God's goodness on fully display despite hardship. Let's learn from them!

In this episode we'll briefly discuss the prophetic ministry, global chaos, our future and why Sam is the real hero not Frodo. (IYKYK).

I often hear from non-Christians and skeptics say, "The Bible makes God sound like some kind of power hungry dictator! Why does the Bible say we have to live to "please him"? That doesn't sound fun!" The problem with this statement is that they're viewing our relationship with God as a tyrant to a slave but as Christians we're to view our relationship through the lens and motivation of love. We se...

Imagine vision casting for a group and you say "destined for trials". What would the response be? Paul tells us that we will have trials in life but it can be for our good!

We talk about fearing God versus fearing humanity and how that drives what we say and do. We also discuss what it means to be entrusted with the Gospel. Let's discuss 1 Thessalonians 2!

The power of God isn't only to be talked about it is to be experienced. Cling to the scriptures, take risks and share stories of God's work!
