The Foundation For Counseling is Christ Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

Pastoral and counseling roles are ordained by God, but can be destructive if not approached correctly. True BIblical counseling is patient and steadfast. It is the fruit of the Spirit being walked out. Counter-biblical counseling can produce good feelings in the moment, but the Gospel is our only hope for the human heart. We need to invite others into our struggles while maintaining complete dependence on the Lord.

Brody sits down with Blair Bailey to learn about their experiences with good and bad Christian counseling, and how it affected their family.

Thanksgiving Edition Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Brody talks about family traditions and what we can be thankful for this holiday season. Traditions can be good but sometimes we tend to make them more important than the main thing—the Gospel. Let’s hold traditions in the right perspective.

Your salvation doesn’t rest in religious tradition. We have much to be thankful for because of what Christ has done for us. God extended mercy on us and lavishes us with His grace. Let’s reflect on his glorious mercy this season.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | Daniel & the Lion's Den Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, Brody looks at Daniel’s resolve when he was commanded to worship another god. God gave Daniel powerful influence and the Spirit of the Lord dwelled richly in him. Daniel didn’t compromise when it came to his relationship with God. The king had no greater ally or asset than Daniel, but he would never worship the king. His walk with the Lord is a picture of consistency.

If you walk in the will of the Lord, you’re going to face conflict and adversity. Don’t put your hope in this world. Daniel didn’t compromise. He lived out his faith in a way that others would see the power of God.

Jesus is the greater Daniel. Jesus saves, stops the mouths of lions, and is bigger than this world.

Beyond the Flannelgraph | Second Chances in Scripture Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

God is a God of second chances. He gives us a new start in life, and the old life we once lived is gone. In this episode, Brody walks through people in the Bible who received a second chance from God. He looks at the lives of Joseph, Ruth, Rahab, Mark, and others. Throughout their lives we can see the powerful hand of God guiding these people to a second chance.
Be encouraged and rest in the truth that He will be faithful to complete the work He started in us.

Parenting Your Children to be Disciples Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

Continuing the conversation from “God the Father Disciplines His Children,” Brody walks through how we should parent our children to be disciples. He speaks from the perspective of God as our Father and how He loves us. We’re called to minister effectively to our kids, but practically, what does this look like?

Let’s be examples for our children and parent in a way that teaches them how to love God and love people well.
