How to Succeed Like a Christian, Part 1 Feb 19, 2019

Show notes

From Jesus of Nazareth to the Apostle Paul, the Christian's life is defined by a steadfast devotion to the Kingdom of God, rather than the kingdom of this world. Though Christians don't necessarily see worldly and spiritual success as mutually exclusive, they do prioritize Christ and His kingdom above everything else—a decision that often leads to a life that looks like failure to the surrounding culture. In this 3-part series, we'll discuss the Christian vision of success and see how it challenges the many competing pictures of success.

The Challenge of Hypocrisy | Part 2: Who are you to Judge? Oct 09, 2018

Show notes

More of an accusation than a question, the mindset behind this phrase is exceedingly popular. Think of Christ's timeless words: "Judge not, that you be not judged. (Matthew 7)" The awkward fact remains: Judgment is unavoidable; we can't not judge. So, how do we learn to make wise judgments, and avoid becoming a judgmental person?

The Challenge of Hypocrisy Part 1: Confronting the Hypocrite in the Mirror Oct 02, 2018

Show notes

Sadly, many people think that Christians are nothing more than hypocrites who hold everyone else to an impossible standard. But if we're honest with ourselves we have to admit that we frequently fail to live up to our own standards. Hypocrisy is not the church's problem; it's not the government's problem; it's not the media's problem; it's our problem. Is there a cure? Is it possible to live a truly authentic life? We'll explore these issues in this series on the challenge of hypocrisy.
