Episode 74 - The Return
Have you ever seen the return of the star athlete? The one that everyone wants on the team, but they had to go through a rehab and struggle following an injury?

Episode 73: The "WOW" Moment
EPISODE 73: The "WOW" Moment I don't know what else to call it. That moment that something clicks....that moment that the Scripture speaks to you in a way you have never seen before... But... On a deeper level, that moment that God changes the game and shows you He has been working on it since…

Episode 72: Adverse Reactions
Episode 72: Adverse Reactions We all deal with adversity in life. The reality is that Jesus told us we would face troubles in this world; and James reminded us that troubles develop our perseverance. The question is: How well are we handling it? Looking to a few examples in Scripture, we can see...

Episode 71: Submit to What?
Episode 71 - Submit to What? "Let everyone be in submission to governing authority..." - Romans 13:1a In an earlier episode there was discussion out of Romans 13 about submitting to authority...it was followed by questions I received. 1. What about moral situations? 2. What are we supposed to do…

Episode 70 - The One No One Wants to Hear
Episode 70 - The One No One Wants to Hear Why are people leaving the church today? What is the problem? Honestly, you're probably not going to like the answer...I didn't, but we have to talk about it. We have to address it, or else we are just going to keep driving people away... I invite you to...

Episode 69 - Dead Air
Episode 69 - Dead Air In the Radio Business, "Dead Air" is a bad thing... Dead Air is the unintended silence that we strive so hard to avoid...unfortunately, we do the same in life. We try to make ourselves busy, even if it isn't work...we just love to fill the "dead" moments of life with motion....
-
Episode 68 - But God...
EPISODE 68: But God... We use these two words in one of two ways: 1 - "But God, I can't..." or "But God, I am not able..." or 2 - "But God made a way...", etc. The second is usually followed by an "in order that" that we will find blessing in...have you experienced a "But God" moment in your…

Episode 67 - Let My Words Be Few
EPISODE 67: Let My Words Be Few Irony at its best as words are used to convey the point of not using words... That said, sometimes we should learn to be silent and listen. The Preacher of Ecclesiastes has some great advice for us in chapter 5 about how we should approach life with a fear of God,...
-
Episode 66 - Deny Yourself
EPISODE 66 - Deny Yourself "Jesus said, 'If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.'" - Matthew 16:24 What did He mean? Deny yourself? What does it mean to deny ourselves in the midst of the struggles we face? How can we let go of self when the world...
-
Episode 65 - Revive Us Again!
EPISODE 65: Revive Us Again! God has made covenants (promises, deals, agreements) with His people. God has always kept those promises. Why is it that we constantly blame God for our shortcomings? Why do we feel God owes us, at the very least, an explanation? What are we entitled to when it comes...
-
Episode 64 - The End is Near, Maybe...
EPISODE 64: The End is Near, Maybe... There always seems to be a major focus on the End Times within the Church...which there is good reason. We can be aware of the things that will lead to the Return of Christ...but are we too focused on these times? This is a look at the End Times and the...
-
Episode 63 - Tricks or Treats?
EPISODE 63: Tricks or Treats? What can we learn from the story of Jacob and Esau? From the characters, the story, the deceptions, and the ultimate plan of God? Why is it that we feel we have to work so hard for our own will, when God has promised to provide our needs. He says He will never leave…

more -
Episode 57 - Stand and Speak
What if we know the truth? What if we know what needs to be done? What if we know we should speak up, but we allow fear to overwhelm us and keep us from saying what needs to be said? God instructed Jeremiah to stand and speak the truth. God instructed him to stand up and say everything that…

Episode 56 - The Need for Discussion (w/ Alex Paunovic)
Who was Melchizedek? Who are we in Christ? How should we handle ourselves? Life is full of questions and the Church is not absent from these conversations.

-
Episode 54 - Why So Serious?
Did Jesus have a sense of humor? Why do we view the Savior as so serious all the time? What makes it so hard for us to view Jesus as human? Why is it so hard for us to see that He was just like us, only He did not sin? "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our...

-
Episode 46 - What's Your Story?
Sure, we all have a past. We all have a story, but sometimes we are too embarrassed of our story to even begin to share it with others. We allow our vanity to keep us from sharing with others that they might be encouraged by our story, and more importantly, by HIS story in us! Luke's account of...
-
Episode 45 - Let's Talk About Death
Death. It is appointed once for everyone (Hebrews 9:27). It is not an easy topic, but this isn't your typical conversation about death. In fact, our lives were meant to be lived out loud. We are intended to not stay silent, otherwise the rocks will cry out in praise (Luke 19:40). All of creation...

-
Episode 43 - The "Who Am I?" Podcast
Who am I? It's the age old question we all try to answer. It may better be answered by saying Who were we created to be? We are sinners. We are evil. And until we have an understanding of that, we can never grow as we were intended. God alone can fix it for us, but we are constantly trying to fix...
-
Episode 42 - Are We There Yet? - The Podcast
