#080 - How to Handle Temptation Mar 22, 2022

Show notes

Temptation is a reality we’ve all faced; even Jesus did. Chad and Robert discuss how to handle temptation and the difference between temptation and sin. Our shame tells us to hide our sin, but God tells us to seek help and bring it to Him. We need authenticity to embrace vulnerability, which leads us to repentance. We grow when we open ourselves to support and give support to others. God loves us for who we are, and He is with us as we learn how to live for His purpose.

#075 - Sharing God's Love Jan 25, 2022

Show notes

What tools do we have to reach people? We don't have to know it all or be perfect to share God's love with others. Our mission is to share the gospel and invite people to the powerful change that Jesus offers. Whether it's family or strangers, there are opportunities for us to listen and invite. When we step even a little outside our comfort zones, we can make a moving impact on someone else's path.

#073 - 2022 Soul Resolutions Jan 02, 2022

Show notes

We don't know what the next year will hold, but we have a Savior who does.

When we focus on who He says we are, we can make margin for what matters. With all the craziness in our world, it's easy to let the past guide our steps, but the only certainty we have is in God's promises for our future. We experience change through God, and He is working no matter what happens. Instead of making your typical resolutions, head into 2022 with the question, "What is the new that God wants to do in you?"

#072 - Experiencing the Great Light of Christmas Dec 21, 2021

Show notes

The most important gift ever given didn’t come to us with frills and fancy bows. Jesus came in a humble form to reach a world of struggling people. Although Jesus was born into a "normal" life, His arrival brought divine hope long before His birth. We can see the power of God’s promises through the coming of His Son, and we have hope for a new day because of His gift. The good news is for everyone, so let's share that light as we celebrate Christmas.

#071 - Don't Say "No" for God (with Jake Bodine) Dec 14, 2021

Show notes

Jake Bodine, founder of God Behind Bars, talks about ministry and the power of reaching people in unexpected places. We need to open our hearts to new opportunities to share God’s love, even when it scares us. God's purpose for the Church goes beyond the box we tend to put it in, and it's up to us to take action when He leads us. No matter our sins, we all have an equal calling to receive the grace of Jesus. Shouldn’t we spread that life-changing news to everyone we possibly can?

#070 - Answering Your Questions - Part II (with Justin Martz) Dec 07, 2021

Show notes

Justin Martz joins the podcast for this two-part Q&A, with questions asked by our audience. It can seem like the Bible leaves a lot up to interpretation, especially when we apply it to our current culture. So how do we follow Jesus intentionally as we navigate the confusions in our daily lives? The more we seek answers, the more we can learn about who God is and the plan He has for us.

In part two, Robert and Justin address these questions about God’s presence in our everyday decisions:

0:55 - How do we use social media to talk about God, and is that truly possible?

5:25 - How do you know if people in your life are leading you more towards Christ?

10:00 - How do you pray about decisions?

14:25 - How do you repair broken relationships?
