What does it mean to have a seat at the table?

This podcast episode is a Q&A answering questions submitted by our First Ridgeland young adults! From questions about sharing faith in the workplace, to God's will, to dealing with guilt and shame, to more— listen to see how Justin and Stephanie respond to all of the questions with biblical truth

In this second part of our Crazy Ones series, we look at Jesus. The question driving this discussion: what does it truly mean to follow Jesus? Being a follower of Jesus often means going against societal norms and expectations, and that this can lead to being perceived as "crazy." But loving Jesus should be the most important love in a believer's life, even above family. Following Jesus involves a public commitment to his teachings, and this may require personal sacrifices. Following Jesus is a serious decision that requires careful consideration of the potential cost.

In part one of a series called "Crazy Ones," we look at the faith of Rhoda, who is initially dismissed as "crazy" for believing in Peter's release. Peter's miraculous escape from prison to illustrates the importance of prayer and action in faith. It's time for young adults to embrace their faith boldly and become "crazy" in their belief that God can effect change.

In this week's episode, Justin, Stephanie, and Jack discuss the intersection of Jesus and politics, emphasizing the importance of voting through a Christian lens. They explore the challenges of aligning principles with candidates, the need for integrity and character in political figures, and the importance of focusing on biblical values. Leave encouraged to prioritize the kingdom above all else, treat each other with dignity, and not sacrifice your witness for politics.

In this week's episode, Justin, Stephanie, and Jack sit down with Central Care + Counseling Director, Kristin Odom, to discuss mental health and how we are to manage it as young adults.

When Jesus called Matthew to be His disciple, Matthew had to leave his security, his money, his future... everything he had— behind. And yet, Matthew did what he could for the man he chose to follow. He invited Jesus into his home as his guest of honor and Jesus sat at Matthew's table. Even when the Pharisees questioned Jesus and His choice on Matthew... Jesus saw something there. Jesus doesn't need you to do anything... He just wants you.
