Rest Mar 02, 2020

Show notes

What does it mean to rest? Does watching movies and playing games counts as rest? Caleb, Griffin, Jacob, and Micah talk about these questions and more as we discuss the importance of resting.
Just like loving a significant other requires quality time and slowing down, our relationship with God requires the same thing if we want to show Him that we love Him. Resting, according to the Bible, means slowing down and reflecting on His love for us so that we can be refreshed and prepared to go back into the chaotic world we live in and work to prepare it for when Jesus returns.

Money Feb 24, 2020

Show notes

Should we give money to the homeless? Should we be generous and give if we know we are going to incur student loans? Caleb, Jacob, and Micah talk about these questions and more as they dive into the topic of MONEY!
Choosing to simply love Jesus should lead each individual, through a love for God, to a place where they long to be generous and are burdened for those who are in need. God calls us to be obedient to the command to be generous with our finances as a reflection of the Kingdom of God.

Skiing, Samson, and Faith? Feb 10, 2020

Show notes

In this informal episode Caleb, Griffin, Micah, and Jacob unexpectedly dive into a chapter that, to many new Christians, would be disturbing. Would God endorse or give a thumbs up to Samson being promiscuous, having a Philistine wife, and going on a killing spree? Why does the Bible even include this kind of strange, morally questionable stuff?
We hope you learn so much through this episode! Let us know how we can pray for you.

"Bad" Words Feb 03, 2020

Show notes

Is it okay for Christians to cuss? Have a potty mouth? To say "sad words"? To say "bad words"? To use swear words? Whatever you grew up calling them, we live in a culture where vulgar language has become a bit of a gray area and debated, even among Pastors. In this episode Caleb, Griffin, Jacob, and Micah dialogue about the purity of our words and whether or not it is actually a sin for us as Christians to use the mainstream "bad words."
Jesus tells us in Matthew 15 that whatever comes out of our mouth comes from the heart. If our hearts are truly transformed, then what we say and how we speak to other people will be radically different than what is culturally normal for our current world.
Our words have weight, and any words that you use to intentionally tear someone else down is a cuss (or curse) word. It is a condition of the heart that we should aim to have transformed. ( Matthew 5:22 )
The way our language is transformed from the inside out is when we live a lifestyle of simply loving Jesus.
We hope you learn so much through this episode! Let us know how we can pray for you.
