Welcome to the transformational podcast. A conversation between brothers about practical ways faith is impacting our lives. We invite you to join us on this journey as we are learning to let faith transform the way we live. Romans 12:2 This week Chris and I discuss something I came across in my daily reading this week. In Numbers 13&14, we see the Israelites come up to the edge of the promise...

Sadly Chris is back home and we are stuck recording our podcast from our normal locations vice in person. That did not stop us from having a great conversation about how we approach the study of scripture. We often get asked, "How do you get so much out of it?" when we study scripture, and today is a discussion on the tools we use when we study. Walk with us as we discuss the importance of context...

Chris and I are in person again this week, and we decided to talk about how God has moved in our lives. Chris tells me how he became a youth pastor, and I share the most influential moment of prayer in my life. Enjoy listening to these two stories and a few more. We love talking about what God has done, is doing, and will do! Psalms 71:17-18 "Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this da...

This week Chris and I get to record a podcast in person, and it was everything I had hoped it would be. We took time to discuss how Chris and I approach our daily Bible reading. We discuss not just what we read, but how we read it.  Chris takes us through his reading from Matthew 20:17-34. We talk about how even though Jesus knew ahead of time what was going to happen on the cross, he kept going b...

In today's episode, Chris and Robert discuss future plans for their gardens, and Robert opens the discussion about a Kingdom principle that Jesus shared in the form of a parable. Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like seed that "man scatters on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how." Mark 4:27 Jesus wants us to let the Kingd...

Today we have an announcement from Robert about what God is doing in his life, and then we get an update on the journey God has Chris on with his current house situation. Chris asked God a question about what is going on with his house situation, and hears an answer the next morning during his time with God as he read Exodus 13:17 "When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road...

Whether you are cooking or building a fire, the right ingredients make a huge difference. In cooking, it can be the difference between tasting good and making you sick. When it comes to making a fire, it is simply impossible to make a fire without the right elements.  Marriage is no different, and Jesus gives us God's design for marriage. In Matt 19:4-6, Jesus takes the Pharisees back to the begin...

Is it a failure or an opportunity to learn? What is something you look back on in marriage and think "I could have done that differently..."? We tell a few personal stories, and then we start our discussion starting in Ephesians 5:21 "And further,  submit to one another out of reverence for Christ." Christ's example to us can be found in John 13:1-17 when he washed the disciples feet. The God of t...

We have an update on Robert's potential new role, and his prayer request for a "favorable no." Then we jump into what it means to be "imitators of God", and how we should love "as Jesus loved us." Both of these calls to holiness by Paul in Ephesians 5:1-2 are foundational to marriage. Without them, we become self focused, and do not seek to serve but to be served. That is a sure intimacy killer. S...

No one goes into marriage thinking it will end. However, some people treat their marriage like a paper plate. They use it selfishly, and then discard it when they have gotten all they can from it. People do not use real dishes, because of the work that comes along with them. If you want a meaningful marriage, like real dishes, the work is worth it! it is important to go to the designer of marriage...

Happy New Year! This is not your average New Years episode, so we hope you listen in to hear how our Christmas went, and get updates on both of our journeys. We do explain what we do entering a new year, and we hope that you will find it helpful in your own life. Proverbs 4:26-27 says "Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path. Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from followi...

This week we discuss joy. After we tell a few fun personal Christmas stories, we end up talking about talking about the message the angels delivered to the shepherds on the night of Jesus birth. "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." What must that have felt like? An announcement from angels about the Savior of the world wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger. It is...

The quality of soil matters when sowing seed. So what do you do if you find yourself with less than ideal planting conditions? You amend the soil. Takes steps to make your soil better, and help others to improve the condition of their soil. Better soil means a better harvest. God call us to produce spiritual fruit, and good soil certainly helps! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scatter...

Robert tells a little about his job, and about his confidence in the Lord's direction during a time of possible transition. Reflecting on God's faithfulness in the past often helps calm our heart during the tumultuous seasons of life. A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9 Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your...

What is the balance between work and rest? What about ministry? What if we told you that God put you in your sphere of influence to do ministry? Chris and I discuss work as worship, and humbly offer our perspective on what God's word says about both work and rest. Whatever you doing, work at it with enthusiasm, as to the Lord and not for people, because you know that you will receive your inherita...

Chris and I discuss what he was reading in Job, Jonah, and John. He not only discusses what God was teaching him, but he also provides us with a method for learning from your time in scripture. Read, observe, record, and apply is a great way to get the most out of your time in the Bible.   When Jesus heard this he said, "Those who are healthy don't need a physician, but those who are sick do. Go a...

As Chris and I discuss, learning to ride a bike is a lot like learning to walk with Christ. Come near to God and he will come near to you.

We get to hear what God is teaching Julie, Chris's wife, through this journey, and perhaps learn what it is like taking that first step of faith. "If you can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."
