The hosts discuss the different points of view in our connection to Jesus Christ. They also talk about the struggles with culture and Christ.    Key Points Covered: Regardless of where we find ourselves and have found ourselves over the years, it is God's spirit that works in us both to will and to do His good pleasure. “Whether we're talking about religion across different faiths or perceptions of who God is or within Christianity, I think it's good to define what religion actually is. I don't think there is a worldwide consensus, but to me religion is a structure or a set of beliefs, practices. Some of them are cultural, some of them are spiritual, but these are avenues for us to know God, hear God, serve Him, find Him, share Him.” -Coach Drew “Religion is run by men/women and men and women are imperfect.” -Brigette Heller “I went to him to seek answers, I realized my faith isn't in that man. My faith isn't in the organization. My faith is in Christ.” -Elizabeth Baker The scriptures tell us that we need to have faith in Christ. “Ultimately what we're all trying to do is build a better relationship with God and understand God and what the meaning of life and our purposes are.” Tanja Bentley-Ward “I am seeking the Lord, who is my savior, who I go back to when I need something.” Jazzael Taylor Church is a place to be in community and He wants us to fellowship with one another, and He wants us to reach out to one another. And we're able to do that when there's an organization created through which we can. Mentioned Scriptures:   Proverb 3:5 (CSB) Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not rely on your own understanding in all your ways, know him and he will make your paths straight.
