    One Degree Podcast

    A one degree shift in your actions today will make a significant difference in who you become in the long run.

    What is the long game and how do I play it? How do I know what God’s calling me to do? What’s the best way to handle conflict in my relationships? How important is my career? What is a healthy, biblical view of sex? How can reading my Bible not be so dull?

    Our goal is to give you practical tools to be faithful to every role in your life to which God has called you. Weekly episodes will dig deep into questions and topics you’re asking as you navigate life while following Jesus.

    Grab a seat on Nathaniel and Xan’s virtual cozy couch and join the conversation. Then make that one-degree shift today.

    No. 96: Fostering an Eternal Mindset in the Mundane Tasks of Life Apr 22, 2024

    One of the hardest things for us to do is take joy in or recognize the purpose of mundane repetitive tasks in life.

    This is especially true if you have young kids. Changing thousands of diapers, doing thousands of loads of laundry, doing thousands of dishes, etc...

    It can be very easy for these tasks to become discouraging and for us to feel purposeless as we spend so much of our time doing them.

    So here are ways we can foster an eternal mindset in the mundane

    No. 92: Marriage in the Newborn Season Mar 18, 2024

    In this episode, we're getting practical on a topic for parents: how to nurture and strengthen your marriage in the season of having a newborn. Often times this season feels like treading to keep your head above the water and not have a breakdown. It is time consuming, exhausting, and you really rarely get a break. With this, it can be very easy to start feeling like you and your spouse are roommates rather than husband and wife.

    Let's get practical on how to love each other well in this season.

    No. 91: Purgatory: Views on Hell Series Mar 13, 2024

    This is the final episode in our mini-series diving into different views on hell. Last week we discussed Universalism and Ultimate Reconciliation, and in this episode, we will cover the view of purgatory.

    Purgatory can be argued from an orthodox, evangelical perspective. Recently, we’ve been familiarizing ourselves with this view.

    This is the third episode in our mini-series diving into different views on hell. Last week, we talked about Annihilationism. In this episode, we will cover the views of Universalism and Ultimate Reconciliation!

    Also, we keep saying this will be a three-part series, but we decided to add a fourth week to discuss Purgatory. So be on the lookout for that next week!

    No. 89: Annihilationism/Terminal Punishment: Views on Hell Series Feb 26, 2024

    This is the second episode in our mini-series diving into different views on hell. Last week, we talked about Eternal Conscious Torment. In this episode, we will cover the view of Annihilationism.

    As we go throughout this series, regardless of where you find yourself, remember that hell is a real place. Whatever you believe about it, we don't want people to go there.

    Now if you’re thinking, “I already know about annihilationism, it’s an erroneous idea”…press play and keep listening. We think you will be surprised!

    No. 88: Eternal Conscious Torment: Views on Hell Series Feb 19, 2024

    This week we're starting a mini-series on a more serious, heavier topic: four different views on hell. This week, we're looking at the view called "Eternal Conscious Torment."

    As we dive into our series on hell, we want you to have an open mind and search the scriptures for yourself. Evaluate your beliefs in light of Scripture. Oftentimes, we have assumptions about what we believe and throw around a few verses to support our arguments and don’t give it a second thought. So, we want to encourage you to dive in for yourself.

    Also, let's remember the rules of hermeneutics (interpreting the Bible):

    • Allow the clearer passages to help you interpret the less clear passages.
    • Give consideration to the whole counsel of God.
    • If there are 50 verses to support one view, and 3 to support a different view, then the first view has a lot more credibility.
    No. 87: What is Sanctification? Feb 05, 2024

    In Christian culture, it's common to use “Christianese” words without exactly knowing what they mean. So today we’re gonna break down one of those: sanctification. What does it mean to be sanctified? Is it our doing, or God's? Is there anything we can do to grow in sanctification?

    No. 85: Calvinism vs. Arminianism Jan 15, 2024

    One of the hottest theological topics for modern day evangelicals is “are you an Arminian, or are you a Calvinist?” These are essentially two theological schools of thought loosely named after John Calvin and Jacob Arminius.

    In this episode we'll introduce the basic tenants of both theological schools of thought, primarily how each answers the question: How much freedom do humans have within their relationship with God?

    No. 78: The Call of Foster Care for Christians Nov 20, 2023

    If you haven't listened to last week's episode- before you read this, you should go back and either listen to it or read the show notes! Also, pause and watch this video: Francis Chan the REAL American Dream (it's only about 6 minutes)! Now that you've done the homework, we can jump into this episode!

    In the last episode, we talked about our personal experience and why we decided to become foster parents. This week, we're talking more about how Christians are called to foster care. We'll also talk about some of the pushback we could (and do) get against this conviction.

    We're not experts. We aren't coming at this conversation from a high horse. But we do want to challenge you to be involved in some way in the foster care system.

    No. 77: Why we Became Foster Parents Nov 13, 2023

    You've probably heard us mention over the past few months that we are now foster parents to a teenage girl! We are not pretending to be experts- we've only been foster parents for four months, but just wanted to share our hearts and thoughts about foster care. It has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding and growing experiences that we’ve ever had.

    In this episode, we’re gonna talk about why we started foster care, and in the next episode, we are going to issue a challenge to other Christians on why they should consider doing it.

    How do we reconcile verses like James 2:14-26 (which emphasizes the necessity of works) with verses like Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 4, and Galatians 2:16 (which emphasize the pure necessity of faith)? Does the Bible contradict itself?

    We're going to be digging into these verses and discussing their differences and their applications for us as believers (because as always, we have these discussions to lead to more faithfulness in our own lives) in this episode.

    No. 68: Thriving Communication in Marriage Sep 11, 2023

    On this week's episode, we’re gonna be talking about the importance of transparent, healthy, honest communication in marriage.

    A lot of times we think about the big/”flashy”/obvious parts of marriage to diagnose how we’re doing –frequency of date nights away from the kids, weekends away, etc... It's actually about how we’re communicating and engaging each other in the everyday mundane that makes the biggest impact on the overall health of our marriage

    Plenty of people get divorced after consistent date nights. They date a lot, but fail to focus on the essential communication skills that are necessary for a healthy marriage.

    Let’s talk about how you can practically focus on the daily, mundane conversations!

    No. 58: Why and How to Fast Jul 03, 2023

    Have you ever intentionally fasted for spiritual purposes? Maybe you've read about it in Scripture, thought about implementing it as a spiritual practice in your life, but weren't sure where to start or if it was right for you.

    Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is not talked about much in the modern church, and unless you are a Catholic during Lent, is practiced even less. Yet examples of fasting permeate the Bible.

    In this episode, we dive into what Scripture lays out as fasting and discuss the implications for modern-day believers.

    No. 57: Is the Devil Out to Get You? Jun 26, 2023

    In this episode, we're continuing our occasional series where we take a deeper look at verses that are often taken out of context. We often hear one-liner verses used to justify something. But when you look at the context of the verse, you realize that verse doesn't really mean what people use it to say. We want to make sure that we use Scripture in the way it was intended.

    In this episode, we're looking at 1 Peter 5:8...

    Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

    Many people take this passage to explain any time they are struggling with sin...people use this verse when they are struggling with porn, coveting, anger, etc...but is it always really Satan? Let's talk about it.

    No. 51: Why You Should Study Theology as an Everyday Christian May 15, 2023

    You're not going into full-time ministry. You're not trying to be a pastor, a full-time missionary, a Bible teacher, or anything in that realm. Why would you need to study theology? Isn't that just for the academic Christians to understand so they can write sermons and podcasts that are easier for us everyday Christians to understand?

    We're talking about it in this episode. Because the reality is, every follower of Christ is called to be a theologian, to know God deeply. Every single one of us must know what we believe, now more than ever when all kinds of (seemingly compelling) theologies are available right at our fingertips.

    No. 48: 8 Biblical Principles for Christians and Politics Apr 24, 2023

    In today's world where political and social issues are constantly full of tension, and often outrage, we must ask ourselves the question: How does my identity as a follower of Christ impact the lens through which I view politics?

    We know that as Christians, we are called to live and engage in this world without becoming of it. We know that while we are citizens of our countries, our first and ultimate allegiance is to Christ and growing His Kingdom. Being a Christian doesn't mean we're a republican any more than being a Christian means we're a democrat. We're called to submit to and pray for our governing authorities, regardless of where they lie on the political spectrum. And ultimately, the demeanor we as Christians take when engaging in politics should exemplify Christ.

    In this episode we chat all about politics through a biblical worldview, focusing on eight principles you as a Christian should consider regarding your engagement in the political realm.

    No. 46: How to be Humble ft. Jake Hatfield Apr 10, 2023

    "If an addict is talking about freedom from addiction, in my mind, humility is my journey away from an egotistical, "I am the center of my universe" mindset. I am a recovering "egotistian" (is that a word?). This conversation is not coming from a place of arrival, but a continuous journey." -Jake Hatfield

    Living with humility is merely to recognize and live in reality. Anything that we pursue (money, fame, etc...) will come to an end. Humility is living in the reality that we are not in charge.

    No. 44: How We've Gotten Discipleship Wrong (Part 1) Mar 27, 2023

    As the American Church, we've often come to view discipleship as a meeting with someone for an hour a week at a coffee shop, sitting, studying the Bible, and praying. While there is certainly nothing wrong with this, if this is all we view discipleship as, we're missing out.

    In this episode (part 1 of 2), we're chatting all about where we tend to miss the mark. Next week we'll be talking all about what discipleship should look like.

    No. 43: Should You Give Money to Strangers on the Street? Mar 20, 2023

    In this episode, we’re talking about a hotly debated question- should you give to people who beg for money?

    This question was posed in one Nathaniel's classes (Ethics of Wealth and Poverty) for an assignment.

    When you are walking on the street or driving in your car, and you see someone asking for money, should you give it to them?

    Everyone has faced a scenario similar to this. Unless you live off the grid, in which case you probably aren’t actually reading this. This is a question Christians NEED to wrestle with and need to be prepared for.

    Failing to plan is planning to fail. If we don’t know how we biblically and personally want to approach these kinds of situations we will default to either not giving money or giving a little bit of change but wondering if we’re doing the right thing.

    No. 42: Speaking in Tongues: What Does the Bible Say? Mar 13, 2023

    Today we're doing a deep dive into what can be a hot topic in the Church: speaking in tongues. Tongues is clearly described as a spiritual gift in Scripture, but there is much debate over whether it has ceased, whether it's required for pastors/elders, whether it's the true mark of a Believer, etc.

    In this episode we break down what the Bible says about speaking in tongues, and how we believe those references should be interpreted.

    No. 41: "God is Not a God of Confusion": What Does This Really Mean? Mar 06, 2023

    There are many times that we hear Bible verses, whether through listening to a podcast, reading a blog, or even listening to a sermon. When we hear only a single verse it can sound like it means one thing, but when we evaluate the context (the chapters surrounding that verse, who the author was, who the audience was, the historical component, etc), it actually means something totally different than we originally thought.

    In this part 2 of our "What in the Actual Context" series (here's part 1 where we break down Philippians 4:13 and Jeremiah 29:11), we break down 1 Corinthians 14:33 – "For God is not a god of confusion, but of peace."

    No. 40: Be Careful Who Your Role Models Are Feb 27, 2023

    When most people think of who they aspire to be like, or asked in their wildest dreams who they would want to trade places with for a day, they would say a famous athlete, a famous music artist, and popular celebrity, or even a popular Christian celebrity. These types of people are the most followed people in the world on social media.

    They are the type of people we aspire to be like: we want to be rich like them, we want to be famous like them, we want to be as good-looking as them, etc. Maybe we want to have the same accomplishments or level of fame! If you're in the church culture, you're probably less likely to give these answers. But even if we don’t consciously say we want to be like these people, when we consistently fill our minds paying attention to them and following them, we will inevitably start being shaped by them. You are being discipled and influenced by them, in one way or another. We chat about the effects of this and how to be more mindful of our influences in this episode!

    On this episode of the podcast, we're joined by Sean and Adrienne Robinson to discuss something they live out so well in their own life – hospitality.

    If you've ever felt like you want to grow in hospitality but you don't have the right space in your home, or you're already up to your eyeballs with toddler routines, or some other hangup, this episode is for you. Sean and Adrienne drop some truth bombs about the biblical foundation for hospitality, how it fleshes out in their own lives, whether it comes naturally to them, the cultural trend of "me time," and what they'd say to the person wanting to grow in their hospitality within the local church.

    So many people (ourselves included) talk in terms of "going" to church, but if we honestly look at the biblical definitions of these terms, it would be more accurate to say “we’re gathering with the church” on Sunday mornings or “I’m meeting with ______ at the ______ building.”

    Today we sit down with the first-ever guest of the One Degree podcast, the incredible Missie Branch.

The Church is the entire body of Christ- all born-again believers across the world. They make up the global church. The church is the local gathering of believers. To clarify- we’re talking about the "little c" church in this episode.

    Before we dive in, we want to give a little caveat. We're only 3 years into parenting, so we're humbly recognizing our limitations in perspective, experience, and wisdom in parenting. But we're able to look to Scripture for wisdom, so the Bible is what we're relying on here.

What do you believe about God, Scripture, Jesus, salvation, etc...? Hopefully, a solid theological foundation will transcend and shape your beliefs on other things.

    This is a topic that is rarely talked about from a Christian perspective, but we believe it's important to be open and honest about what we wish we knew before we got married.

    While this episode will be beneficial for you whether you are single, engaged, or married, if you are struggling with sexual sin and think this episode may be more harmful than beneficial please refrain from listening. The last thing we want to do is hinder someone’s personal pursuit of holiness.
