In this podcast, Brittany and Sara discuss what fear is from a secular and Biblical perspective. They dive into the difference before what healthy fear is versus debilitating fear that Jesus died to set you free for.

In this episode, Sara's daughter (13) shares with bravery her testimony. Anxiety, fear, and shyness were all schemes of the enemy to silence her bold faith. Listen as she describes her freedom thru prayer, the Word, and godly relationships!

In this episode, we unpack the powerful and often misunderstood difference between praise and worship. While many people use the terms interchangeably, they carry distinct meanings that shape how we connect with God.Praise is often expressive, joyful, and outward. Its a celebration of who God is and what He has done. Worship, on the other hand, is deeper and more intimate. Its a posture of surrender, reverence, and devotion that goes beyond songs or words.We’ll explore biblical examples, practical applications, and how both praise and worship play unique roles in your spiritual life. Whether you’re lifting your voice in gratitude or bowing your heart in surrender, understanding the difference can transform the way you experience God.Tune in for a conversation that will challenge, inspire, and deepen your faith.#Praise#Worship#FaithTalk#ChristianPodcast#SpiritualGrowth#BibleTeaching#KingdomLiving#Devotion#ChristianLife#LikeJasper

In this episode, Brittany and Sara discuss what was settled at the cross by Jesus. They use scripture to declare the identity you now have as a Christian because of the exchange that happened at the cross. We became the righteousness of God, and He, who knew no sin, became sin for us. With this new identity, what authority do we have as Christians? Jump in with us, and s to walk as sons and daughters of God!#likejasper #ChristianPodcast #AllAuthorityHasBeenGiven #ChildOfGod #Redeemed #Righteous #Holy #SetApart #Heir

In this episode, we move from the joy of God’s open invitation to the sobering reality of discipleship. After telling the Parable of the Great Banquet, Jesus shifts the conversation from being invited to what it actually means to follow Him.This passage is bold, uncomfortable, and deeply clarifying. Jesus refuses half-hearted followers. He calls us to examine our loyalties, our priorities, and the sacrifices we’re actually willing to make for the sake of the Kingdom.We’ll unpack:✨ Why Jesus uses extreme language like “hate” to describe the level of devotion He requires✨ What “carrying your cross” meant in the first century—and what it means for us now✨ What the two parables (the builder and the king) teach us ✨ Why discipleship is impossible without surrender✨ What Jesus means when He warns that “salt that loses its flavor is worthless”Jesus offers life, purpose, and belonging—but He also demands everything.#Luke14 #CountTheCost #Discipleship #CarryYourCross #TeachingsOfJesus #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudyCommunity #KingdomLiving #FaithOverComfort #SurrenderToJesus #BiblicalTruth #GospelChallenge#LikeJasper #CommitmentToChrist

During this episode, Sara and Brittany go through the first half of Luke chapter 14. They discuss some tips given by The Bible Project on how to read and interpret parables and common types of parables. They explore one of Jesus’ most surprising dinner party moments. What begins as a tense Sabbath meal with Pharisees quickly becomes a powerful lesson on humility, hospitality, and God’s upside-down Kingdom.Jesus challenges social norms, exposes hidden pride, and tells a parable that flips the script on who gets invited to God’s feast. The Great Banquet isn’t about status, titles, or appearances. It’s about responding to the invitation when it comes.We’ll unpack:✨ Why Jesus healed on the Sabbath in front of His critics✨ What true humility looks like at God’s table✨ How the Great Banquet reveals God’s heart for the overlooked✨ What this passage calls us to do in our modern worldA challenging and hope-filled message reminding us: Everyone is invited, but not everyone says yes.Sara ends with a challenge to go and read Romans 11:11-25 #ParableOfTheBanquet #GospelStudy #BiblePodcast #JesusTeachings #KingdomOfGod #FaithInAction #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #Humility #OpenTable #DiscipleshipJourney #BibleStudyCommunity #Luke14#LikeJasper

In a world that seems to thrive on outrage, Jesus calls His followers to something radically different—living unoffendable.

In this episode of Like Jasper, a sequel to The History of Mormonism, we explore the key differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity. From views of God, Jesus, and salvation to the role of extra-biblical writings, we highlight where the two faiths diverge and why it matters for understanding truth and discipleship.#LikeJasperPodcast #MormonismVsChristianity #ChristianPodcast #BiblicalTruth #FaithJourney #Apologetics #BibleStudy #JesusIsLord

In this episode, we take a closer look at the rise of Mormonism—its beginnings with Joseph Smith, the translation of the Book of Mormon, the early church’s growth, and the challenges and controversies that have shaped it, as well as its ongoing influence on culture and faith conversations today.#LikeJasperPodcast #HistoryOfMormonism #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #BibleHistory #ReligiousHistory #JosephSmith #BookOfMormon #ChurchHistory

In this episode, we explore the question: Can the Bible be trusted as a historically reliable document? Using the same standards scholars apply to all ancient literature, we examine the Bible through four critical lenses:Bibliographic EvidenceWe look at the sheer number of ancient manuscripts, their dating, and their consistency. Compared to other classical works like Plato, the New Testament has an unmatched volume of early manuscriptsInternal EvidenceThe Bible's internal consistency, eyewitness accounts, and detailed historical references support its credibility. The Gospels, for example, are rooted in firsthand or closely sourced testimonies, and the writers show remarkable agreement despite coming from different backgrounds.External EvidenceWe discuss how archaeological discoveries, non-Christian historical sources (like Josephus and Tacitus), and documented cultural practices align with biblical narratives, reinforcing their authenticity.Transmission HistoryThe Bible’s preservation over centuries—through meticulous copying by scribes, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and textual criticism—shows a surprisingly stable transmission of the text over millennia.Finally, we touch on scientific discoveries that affirm biblical Together, these evidences build a strong case that the Bible is not only a book of faith, but also one of historical and intellectual integrity.#HistoricalJesus#BiblicalEvidence #ScienceAndTheBible #IsTheBibleTrue #ChristianPodcast #FaithBasedPodcast#BibleTruth #BiblicalReliability #Apologetics#ScriptureAndScience #ChristianApologetics#BibleHistory

How did the 27 books of the New Testament come together—and why were these specific writings chosen? In this episode of Like Jasper, we walk through the fascinating and faith-strengthening history behind the formation of the New Testament.We explore:📜 Apostolic Authorship – Why early Christians prioritized writings from the apostles or their close companions (like Luke and Mark).🧪 Orthodoxy – How the early Church recognized books that aligned with the teachings of Jesus and the Hebrew Scriptures.📖 Widespread Use – Which texts were being read and taught across churches by the 2nd and 3rd centuries.⛪ The Role of Church Councils – How gatherings like the Synod of Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage (397 AD) confirmed what most Christians already recognized as Scripture.We also debunk common myths—like the idea that the Bible was decided behind closed doors for political reasons—and instead show how the canon was more discovered than dictated.By the end, you’ll see that the New Testament wasn’t randomly compiled, but carefully preserved, guided by God through history to reflect the true gospel of Christ.#NewTestamentHistory #HowTheBibleWasFormed#BibleCanon #ChristianApologetics #TrustTheBible#BibleTruth #LikeJasper #ChristianPodcast

In this episode of Like Jasper, we dive into the fascinating history of how the Old Testament came to be. From the earliest writings of Moses, to the recognition of the Hebrew Scriptures by Jewish leaders, we trace the journey of God’s Word. We explore how each book was eventually confirmed as inspired Scripture. Along the way, we see how God’s providence ensured that His Word remained unshaken despite centuries of opposition.This episode reminds us that the Old Testament is not just a collection of ancient books—it is a testimony of God’s faithfulness, pointing us to His promises fulfilled in Christ.#LikeJasperPodcast #OldTestament #BibleHistory #PreservationOfScripture #GodsWord #ChristianPodcast #BibleStudy #FaithJourney #BiblicalHistory

Sara and Brittany take you on a journey through the rich history of how the Bible came to be. In this episode, they begin with one of the most powerful truths—the preservation of Scripture. From the very beginning, the enemy of our souls has tried to destroy God’s Word. Yet every attempt has failed. Through faithful scribes, miraculous preservation, and God’s own promises, the Scriptures have endured through centuries of attack, persecution, and change.Join the conversation as we uncover how God’s Word has been protected and passed down so that the Bible we hold today still speaks His truth—unchanged, unshaken, and alive.

“What we have heard and learned – that which our ancestors have told us – we will not hide from their descendants.

It’s faithful and loyal, grounded in truth, full of goodness, and always expressed through action. God’s steadfast love is not just a feeling—it is established, persevering, and eternally dependable.Through the lens of scriptures like Philemon 1:6, Ephesians 3:14–21, and Colossians 1:9–12, we reflect on how this love strengthens our faith, empowers our prayers, and anchors our identity. No matter your season, let these truths remind you: God’s love for you is not going anywhere.

Part 3 of 3. In the letter to the Church of Laodicea, in Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus addresses a church that is lukewarm—neither hot nor cold. Laodicea, a wealthy and self-sufficient city, symbolizes a community that has become complacent in its faith, relying on material wealth and security rather than fully trusting in Christ. Jesus criticizes their spiritual apathy, urging them to recognize their true poverty, blindness, and nakedness despite their outward wealth. He calls them to repent and be zealous, offering the remedy of gold refined by fire (spiritual richness), white clothes (purity), and eye salve (spiritual insight). Jesus stands at the door, knocking, inviting anyone who hears His voice to open their hearts to Him. The message ends with a promise to those who overcome—sharing in Christ’s reign and experiencing fellowship with Him.For your podcast, you could emphasize themes like spiritual complacency, the dangers of relying on wealth, and the importance of genuine, passionate faith. Highlight Jesus' invitation to intimacy and transformation, stressing that He is always ready to restore those who turn to Him.#podcast #cousins #ministry #laodicea #lukewarm
