Holidays, The Final Episode?
Hey everyone! Little awkward, but we ever posted this last episode! You may have wondered where we went. It'll all be explained in the episode. We didn't quite want to call this the last episode ever. So let's just think of it as Will and Ben going on an indefinite holiday. Thank you so much to…

Ep.36 - Why We Retreat
This week we're keeping it light with a conversation about a word that sends some mixed messages: retreat. In the secular world, retreat isn't a good thing! It's an admission of defeat. But as Christians we participate in these weekend long (or longer) events called retreats. As you'll hear, we...

Ep. 35 - Grace for the In Between
This was a bit of a unique topic for us in that, this is not something we've heard talked about a lot and were simply giving Will and Ben's opinions or take on it. This week we covered an idea that God laid heavily on my (Ben's) heart. The idea is grace for the people who are in between "just...
-
Ep.34 The Non-Essentials
There are many, many beliefs in the Christian faith. For many of these things, we need to take a step back and take a deep breath and realize these things are not the end all be all. In this episode, Will and Ben traverse some of the issues that are worth talking about but are not essential.…

Ep.33 - Back to the Basics
There are many, many beliefs in the Christian faith. Unfortunately, there are many things that we do not agree on as Christians across denominations. When you hear about all the disagreements, it can get a little overwhelming! After all, don't we all serve the same God? Read the same Bible? Why…

Ep.32 - Choices Lead Feelings Follow
"Follow your heart." It's advice you've probably heard before. If you haven't heard that, then at some point you might have heard "do what feels right" or something similar, or at the very least you've seen it somewhere online. But is it good advice? Scripture seems to tell us otherwise! The…

Ep.31 - Right Tool, Wrong Job
Spiritual gifts are always a fun topic for discussion! Who doesn't love taking those gifts tests and learning which gifts they have? The problem is that, as much fun as we have finding what our gifts are, sometimes we don't know how to use them! If we can't recognize what our gifts are, we can't...
-
Ep.30 - I'm Right, You're Wrong!
Hopefully by now our listeners know that we don't take or endorse this sort of view about life! Unfortunately, as Christians, it can very often be the attitude we take towards people who don't share our views on things. It's the mindset that splits churches, divides denominations, and ultimately...
-
Ep.29 - God Is Love
God is love. We see it everywhere, but what does that actually mean? In a language that uses one word to explain our feelings towards hamburgers and our spouses, how can we possibly hope to express what the source of love Himself actually is? Fortunately, others came before us and did a much…

Ep.28 - God of His Word
What if, hear me out now, what if God actually meant all the things he said in Scripture? Could He really mean it when He said that He loved the whole world? Is there really going to be a day when every tear is wiped away? Can I do all things through Christ? It's funny the way we read Scripture...

Ep. 27 - Resolutions
After Christmas comes New Year! The new year is when many take up a New Year's Resolution! Come and join in on the discussion on New Years' resolutions, or really just resolutions in general. As we prepare for the new year we go with he reminder of James 4:13-15
-
Ep. 26 - The Christmas Episode
It's Christmas! Get ready for some hot takes on the holiday's silliest and most serious debates, and of course, a reminder of the real joy of this season! Merry Christmas to all our listeners! To find the Christmas story in it's entirety, check out Matthew 1:18-2:23. Astute listeners will notice...

Ep. 25 - God of the Mountains
Last week we talked about some serious stuff, but this week we decided to turn the tables a bit! It's important to remember that part of having an everyday kind of faith is understanding that God is with us in all things. That means that God is with us in the valleys of life, but He's also with…
more -
Ep.24 - God of the Valleys
This week we're going to get a little more serious as we talk about the valleys of life. Whether it's in our jobs, our relationships, our spiritual lives, or any other area, we all go through these low points in life. It can be easy to feel like God is not with us during those times, but often...
-
Ep.23 - God in the Workplace
Well, we finally did it, we made an episode about something highly controversial. How is it controversial, you ask? Well, if you ask many employees, God left their workplaces years ago! But seriously, for many of us, the workplace may be one of the hardest places to find God. Some of us have bad...
-
Ep.22 - Faith Across Generational Lines
If ever there was a source of tension in the Church, it's the tension that exists between different generations of people serving the same God. Today we have Gen alpha all the way down to Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation, however, these divides have existed since biblical times! The…
more -
Ep.21 - Nurturing the Spirit
We've talked about self-care, along with pretty much everyone who has a podcast out there. But self-care usually focuses on our minds and body. As Christians, we also have to care for our soul though! Soul-care is something we have not done a good enough job talking about, yet we believe that our...
-
Ep.20 - Would the Real Jesus Please Stand Up
Let's be clear, there is sonly one God, one Jesus. Yet, if you ask people to describe who Jesus is or what he's like, you'll get almost as many different answers as people. Some people describe Jesus as one who "came to bring a sword," others as a crucified savior, others a risen one. Some tell…

Ep.19 - Details Details Details
Deus ex Singulis, God in the details. Sorry, I told Will I wouldn't make this joke in the podcast, but he can't keep it out of the notes! Anyway, God is definitely big. bigger than our wildest imagination! But so many of the rules in Scripture seem to be about little things. Why does God care…
more -
Ep.18 - Content Consumers
What do we want? CONTENT! When do we want it? ALL DAY EVERYDAY! It seems to be the rallying cry of the young generation right now, our generation. We want content. We want more tv shows, more movies, more books, more video games. And if the story ends we want sequels, we want prequels, we want…
more -
Ep.17 - Letting Go
Let's face it, forgiveness is hard to do. It's more than just letting go, more than moving on, and yet, hard as it may be, it is at the foundation of life as Christians. This week we are going to talk about what forgiveness looks like, how to do it, and who we have to forgive (spoiler, one of…

Ep.16 - Making a Comeback
All of us are going to mess up at some point. For some it will seem to be just a little misstep. For others, our entire life may fall apart. regardless of how big our fall is, many of us will go through the same thought process, "how do I come back from this?" This week we talk about how to make...
-
Ep.15 - Five Foot Ministry
The word "ministry" has a lot of meaning behind it, and it's different to every person! A lot of people have fallen for the trap that ministry means pastors, missionaries, and chaplains. Some believe it means working in the church. But truthfully, ministry is much broader and a lot more local. In...
-
Ep.14 - Faith In Action
The world has seen a lot of changes in the last few decades. Truthfully, it's always changing. One of the more recent changes has been from active to passive. It's well known that people are much less physically active than ever. Many are seeking passive incomes to supplement their life, or to…
more -
Ep.13 - Standing Firm
Let's face it, as much as some people may want to believe that ours is a Christian nation, the fact is, the world isn't a Christian world. But that shouldn't be news to us! We have always known that darkness would be present in this life. The question we are left with then is how do we stand firm...
-
Ep.12 - Share Your Story
Stories are one of the oldest forms of communication. Since the dawn of language, we have shared our stories and the stories of others to pass on messages, rules, advice, and more. As Christians, our stories are especially important. Our stories allow us to connect with others, believers and...
-
Ep.11 - Take Care of Yourself
Self-care self-care everywhere, and not a person to do it. Unfortunately, self-care has become a movement, just another phrase stuck in the world of psychological mumbo-jumbo (don't worry, I studied Psychology, I can say that!) But the movement has some very real root and importance. We are…
more -
Ep.10 - Sacred Spaces
For a lot of us Christians, the church we go to is our only sacred space. But what if we could turn anywhere into a sacred space? From certain hours of the day, to a closet we can pray in, having a place that we go to meet God is a crucial part of our spiritual health! Listen today to hear about...
-
Ep.9 - Who We Are
Have you ever wondered, "who are these guys?" Or maybe asked yourself, "who is it making this great podcast?" You may even have found yourself wondering, "how did these two goofballs end up making the Everyday Faith Podcast all the way across the United States?" I can't promise this episode will...
-
Ep.8 - Church Competition
Of all places to compete with each other, you'd think churches would be on the bottom of the list, yet here we are doing a whole episode on it! This week we talk about how churches compete with each other, intentionally and unintentionally, and how we can encourage building relationships instead…
more -
Ep.7 - Biblical Friendship
What is a friend? We all have them but sometimes it can be hard to tell who is a friend and who isn't. Maybe even harder to tell, what is a GOOD friend? This week we tackle friendship! Something we need to think about who we surround ourselves with. Hosts: Pastors Will Harris and Ben Damato…

Ep.6 - How to Read the Bible
Let's be honest, reading the Bible is hard! Fortunately, in this episode, we're going to give some helpful tips for how to start tackling that big, old book that is the cornerstone of our faith, starting with opening it! Hosts: Pastors Will Harris and Ben Damato Editing and theme music: Travis...
-
Ep.5 - Deconstruction
In this episode, Will and Ben talk about a very misunderstood part of faith called, Deconstruction. While deconstruction is not a new thing, it has been gaining attention in light of modern church views and events. This episode aims to balance out the extremes surrounding deconstruction and help...
-
Ep.4 - How We Worship
In this episode, Will and Ben talk about the current state of worship in the Church. Worship is one of those words that should be loaded with meaning for people, but often gets reduced to a one hour segment of our weekly Church service. Will and Ben are going to discuss not only how we got here,...
-
Ep.3 - Faith and Family
In this episode, Will and Ben talk about the necessity of family involvement in the Christian life. The Christian faith is one meant to be lived in community, not isolation, and the family is the most immediate community for most people. Whether you're a mom, dad, brother, sister, son or…
more -
Ep.2 - The Checklist Mentality
In this episode, Will and Ben discuss the reality that Christianity is not a checklist! Oftentimes people want to know what they need to do to be a Christian, or they will defend their faith by pointing towards their actions. This episode explores the dangers and flaws in that line of thinking…

Ep.1 - Biblical Literacy
In this episode of the Everyday Faith Podcast, we'll be talking about what biblical literacy is, what it looks like for individuals and the church, and why it's so important that we cultivate it in our lives and our faith communities. Scripture is at the heart of everything we do and believe as...
