Full-Time Christians

"...aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs.." 1 Thessalonians 4:11 Scripture calls Christians away from noice, distraction and constant commentary on others' lives. We don't have to know everything.We don't have to respond to everything.We don't have to carry what isn't ours.A quiet life is steady. Unfearful. At peace.And part of that peace comes from simply being faithful in what God has actually given us to do.

With so many opinions and noise surrounding the topic of Baptism, we wanted to have a conversation that focused only on what the Lord has to say concerning the importance and necessity of being baptized.Scriptures for your study:For the forgiveness of sins: Acts 2:38.       For washing away sins: Acts 22:16.For salvation: Mark 16:16, 1 Peter 3:21.Union with Christ’s death and resurrection: Romans 6:3-5.For putting away the body of sins: Colossians 2:11-13For entering Christ: 1 Corinthians 12:13.To be clothed with Christ: Galatians 3:27.A challenge for you: Consider the example in the book of Acts of believers in the First Century and how they responded to the teaching of the necessity of baptism from the Apostles:Acts 2:38-41, Acts 8:27-39, Acts 16:27-33, Acts 22:16.

We often quote Jesus's words, "don't worry about tomorrow," as a simple comfort, but Jesus was never a surface-level teacher. In Matthew 6, He calls us to something deeper than just managing daily stressors and anxieties. In this conversation, we'll dive into the context surrounding this statement and how that applies to our walk as Full-Time Christians.

In this episode, we talk about creating opportunities - not just waiting for the perfect timing, but choosing to use our time wisely.In Acts 18, Prisilla and Aquila did this very thing - They recognized Apollos as a sincere seeker - He just didn't have the whole picture. With kind words and compassionate hearts, they loved him enough to explain the way of God more accurately.Let's ask ourselves: who in my life needs the clarity of the gospel?

When you hear "evangelism," what comes to mind? Awkward conversations? Feeling unqualified? Here's the truth: Evangelism isn't a method, it's a mindset. If we truly believe the gospel is life, why would silence ever feel normal? Evangelism is what naturally flows from a rescued life - not speeches, not programs, not being extroverted.It's about:-Speaking Truth in everyday conversations.-Living visibly for Christ.-Being ready when opportunities come.You don't need to be brilliant. You just need to be willing!

Many of us are spiritually full - but practically stalled.In this episode, we look at Scripture's call to move from hearing to doing, and why obedience often comes before clarity.Faith is rarely about the view at the summit - it's about the steps we take along the trail."be doers of the Word, not hearers only, deceiving yourselves." James 1:22

We titled this episode "Be a Bernice" inspired by the encouragement 12-year-old Tanner received that helped him decide to become a preacher.Faith grows best when hearts are nurtured, not pressured. Discipleship isn't built on expectations of roles - it's built on love, patience, and example.Your approach matters.A gentle word, steady presence, or quiet encouragement can shape someone's faith far more than pressure ever could.Build on faith first.Let growth come naturally.

Snowed in today? Don't scramble to "do bible" like it's a checklist.In this episode, we dive into Paul's instructions to Timothy to study the scriptures faithfully and how consistent time in God's Word brings us closer to Him and quietly shapes your heart, your mind, and your daily life.

In this episode, we walk through Elijah's experience of exhaustion and burnout in 1 Kings 19 and examine how God responds: Care, Rest, Renewal, and Redirection. If you've been running on empty, this one is for you!
