  5. How To "Run With Endurance" Spiritually

    Episode 11 is our first guest episode with Blake Bender. Blake is an ultra marathon runner, a brother in Christ, and one of our favorite people. We talk about running 100-mile races, training for a 200-mile race, and how endurance has shaped the way he thinks about discipleship, suffering,...

  6. The Psalms as Tools for Spiritual Warfare and Encouragement

    Episode 10 is about the Psalms: why they matter, how they teach us to pray, and how they give language to the full range of life with God.

  7. John Rejects the Rapture? | Answering Listener Questions

We talk about Christian dating profiles, John’s...

  8. Are we Bad Christians? Honest Conversation about Loving God and How that Affects Our Lives

    Hey friends, this one is coming from the heart (FYI John is writing this). Producing this podcast for you so far has been such a joy. But also with the attention it has brought, we have also received some criticism of our actions and behaviors. The weight of all that has made me so aware of my…

  9. Bex Shares Her Testimony (And We Answer Listener Questions)

    This one is Bex’s birthday episode, so naturally we made her sit in the middle and talk about her life. We talk about getting older, growing up in a Christian home, learning humility, finding identity in the Lord instead of other people, and how Jesus and therapy have helped Bex grow in...

  10. Prosperity Gospel or Poverty Gospel? | Generosity in The Bible Explained

    Episode 6 is about generosity. Not prosperity gospel, not poverty gospel, but what we may or may not be calling the generosity gospel. We talk about why Christians are called to live open-handed, how generosity is something we can actually grow in, and why stinginess is usually a heart issue…

  11. All Christians Are Called SAINTS?| What your "Identity in Christ" Actually Means

    This episode is all about identity in Christ. For a lot of us, it's easier to think of ourselves as sinners who occasionally get things right than as saints who have been made new by Jesus. But the New Testament consistently speaks about believers as God's holy people, and that changes…

  12. Why Does Christian Art SUCK?! (And is Fake Cussing a Sin?)

    Episode 4 is what happens when we don’t really have a topic and just start talking. We cover worship songs we’re loving, cussing and replacement words, how the three of us became friends, and whether guys and girls can actually just be friends. Then we get into real friendship, humility…

  13. Defending Charismatic Worship & Worship as Adoration

    Episode 3 is about worship: what it is, why we do it, and why one of us had to be theologically convinced that raising our hands in church wasn’t weird. The three of us all grew up with pretty different worship backgrounds: Bex in a charismatic Pentecostal church, Destiny in the Catholic Church,...

  14. How Does God Actually Change Us?

    Episode 2 is here! We are talking all about how we actually change by the power of the Spirit, how good friendships lead to conviction and repentance, and how Jesus brings reconciliation to broken relationships.

  15. You are the river of the Holy Spirit | John 7 Explained

    We finally did it… we started a podcast. Welcome to episode 1 of Call Him Abba, where John, Bex, and Destiny sit down to do what we pretty much already do all the time: talk about Jesus, the Bible, what God is teaching us, and somehow get completely sidetracked in the process. In this first...
