327 What She Said to the Man that Killed Her Husband

If bitterness takes root in our lives, we may find ourselves acting irrational. We can tend to treat the person we are bitter towards, with a standard we don't hold anyone else to. But on the flip side, if we let the Spirit of Jesus lead us, we may find ourselves doing things most people find impossible. Like what one woman said to the man that killed her husband.

325 The Vacation That Divided the Family

We looked at a family vacation drama situation from all sides, that will hopefully prepare us for similar situations in life.

323 Complaining Stinks

The Bible tells us to not complain. But what does that practically look like in our every day lives? We go over specific circumstances and whether something is a complaint, or a frustration that we should take to someone else, whether it be an authority/boss or that very person.

322 All the People to Thank in Heaven

No one author sat down and composed the entire Bible. Over the centuries, many have contributed in keeping God's word intact, and translated properly. Some of them gave their lives! We talk about these individuals of the faith and share our gratitude regarding their service.

320 Who Made You Judge and Jury?

Matthew was the least expected person to be invited into a group of disciples. He was hated by his community and betrayed them to the Romans. What kind of community was and is God calling? Are my standards higher than His? No! But the people who I might see as being consistent with the church community might not be the same "picture" as what God sees. Does judgment have a place in my correspondence with others?

319 God's Comfort is Closer Than We Think

If you've ever believed the lie that God isn't loving, or involved: you're not alone. In fact, even God's chosen people were likely in doubt if God cared... or was even there. This week we discuss the facts of scripture: God is present and cares. Even in our hardest of times.

318 Being Odd for Christ

Who's Blessed? What does that even mean, "blessed." Jesus shares who is in that category and it (generally) is the opposite of what most would categorize as "blessed."

317 Hope If You Feel You've Wasted Your Life

If you've ever wondered, "Is this even worth it?" you're not alone. Often we can think our vocation doesn't make a difference, or feel like we don't get through to our kids. We can even feel like our faith has been a waste of time, that all of those prayers have been in vain. This week Carder talks about people from the Bible that felt that way, with a reminder to us that the one true God loves us and isn't distant. And he works through us, even when we don't see it.

316 Seeing the Bible Differently

How many lenses can we see God's word through? Infinite! God invites us to change our perspective through His invitation. He invites us to cast ourselves in non-heroic roles so that we can grow in Him!

315 What is the Purpose Behind That Bad Comment?

We expound on a complaint/bad comment. How do you know when people truly want to have a conversation about Jesus or are just criticizing and how should we respond either way? Are we hypocrites if we do the same thing to people of other faiths and cultures? How does Jesus turn man's "understanding" on its head and how can we love Him and others to our fullest?

312 The Bible Doesn't Always Mean What It Says

This week we dig into how we can trust that the Bible has always said what it says today. That includes getting into the culture and the process on how people made sure the original message stayed intact. We also talk about a translation of the Bible to never use.

310 Can You Choose What the Bible Says?

Joking about pride ended up leading us to an organic conversation about the meaning of scripture and where the line is on being able to choose it's meaning. While there are a lot of misused verses, there is also room for a different application of the same scripture in our own life.

308 Does the Bible Contradict Itself?

This week we get into the gray area of how scripture applies differently to everyone. There is universal truth, but does that mean each one of us have to go about it the exact same way? Plus, how to respond when someone questions the Bible in the first place.

How is it possible for someone who doesn't have faith in Jesus to do something more Christ-like than a Christian? This is what we discuss through one of the most popular parables Jesus ever told.

Psalm 23 with Leanna Crawford (Bonus Episode)

We are joined by musical artist Leanna Crawford to dig into scripture as her latest song is called "Psalm 23" because of the peace it brings. It's the foundation for us as we get into comparison and how social media is a fine line of driving us to become well rounded people and exhausting/killing us at the same time.
