In this episode, we address a question that was sent into us by a young preacher. He asks, "as a young preacher, it is my desire to be as effective as I can be. How ought I to approach or posture myself toward the congregation, God, and even myself?" We spend some time addressing this question, pointing back to Christ as our ultimate example.

In this episode, we spend some time addressing a question that was sent in to us by a listener. In Matthew 18, Jesus gives us the blueprint for how we should handle wrongdoings committed against us by a brother or sister in Christ. Have we deviated from the model that Jesus left us? Would following this model help us to resolve far more wrongdoings and differences within the church? What is the attitude and spirit that we ...
On this episode, we continue our discussion on eternity. Last time we made a case for the possibility of Near Death Experiences or Out of Body Experiences. On today's episode, we explore some recorded accounts of individuals who have made claims to such experiences.

In this episode, we continue our discussion concerning the afterlife by exploring the possibility of Near Death Experiences or Out of Body Experiences. We look at some of the objections that are given to the possibility of NDE's or OBE's. We also explore some Biblical passages that seem to indicate the possibility of them. However, should Christians focus on trying to experience these? That is yet another questio...
On this episode, we continue our series on the afterlife. We explore two philosophical arguments that seem to indicate the possibility of life after death. The first argument is one popularized by C.S. Lewis called "the argument from desire". The second argument is one that has been passed down through the generations called "Substance Dualism".
Here is the link to the article on C.S. Lewis's argum...

The question of what happens to a person after death is one that occupies the mind of almost every person. Is this life all there is, or is there a "great beyond"? On this episode, we spend some time offering 3 foundational realities from Scripture that demonstrate the reality that there is life after death.

There is no doubt that there is a natural desire within every Christian, and more specifically every minister, to help others in their times of need. However, how far is too far? Is it ever appropriate for someone to come between a Pastor and his parishioner? Further, what does the Bible say about those that interfere beyond their God-given authority? These are some of the questions that we ponder on this episode.

The study of Church History has been an invaluable tool for the modern church. However, arguments abound as it relates to church history somewhat being the standard that we measure our doctrine by. Further, arguments are made that if a particular issue cannot be proven sufficiently from the records of church history, then the modern church should not hold to such ideologies. In this episode, we contend that the culture in ...
As we discussed in our last episode, the Bible seems clear in its command that believers are to go and make disciples. The next step is exploring how one is to effectively carry out this command. That is precisely what we discuss on this episode.

In Matthew 28:19-20 we are given what has come to be known as "The Great Commission". Is this commission still binding on the church? Are we obligated to fulfill the command that Christ is giving here, or was it merely for the disciples? Further, when Matthew 28:19 says to "go" is it a direct command, or merely a passive statement that we are to make disciples as we go along our way? These are some of t...
Some have the opinion that because we are of the Kingdom of God, then our allegiance should be to that Kingdom alone. We should have no part in the affairs of earthly government. However, is that what the Bible truly teaches? Does our citizenship of the Kingdom of God negate our responsibility to be good citizens of our nation? Are these concepts at odds one with the other? These are some of the questions we explore on thi...
We continue our series on the Kingdom of God. We have already established that there is a sense in which the Kingdom of God is present in this world today. We see that evidenced through the power of God demonstrated in various forms. However, is there a sense in which the Kingdom will come in a "fuller" expression and realization? If so, do we as the Church help that Kingdom become established in its fullest sens...
Though the Kingdom of God has not been realized in its fullest sense yet, there is an element of it that is accessible and evident even now. The power of the Kingdom was demonstrated through the ministry of Christ and the Apostles in the Gospels, then through the church in the book of Acts, and is still evident in modernity. There really is power that transforms lives, and it is found in the Gospel of the Kingdom. That is ...
All throughout the Gospel accounts we find this concept of the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven. What is so important about understanding what this reference is? Jesus found it important enough to make it a central topic of his preaching in the Gospel accounts. Further, how does understanding this important concept transform the life of the believer and change their perception of their responsibility to the world? T...
We were given a suggestion regarding a topic by a listener. This listener wanted us to discuss "Understanding God's Call to Ministry". In this episode, we define what ministry actually is, and who is called to ministry. Further, we give some advice on how to determine if God is calling you to a specific ministry within the church. We hope you enjoy.

Paul instructs the believers at Corinth concerning the covering of the head by women in the public worship setting in 1Corinthians 11. What was the covering that Paul was referring to? Further, does this passage truly deal with hair, or is it referring to a material item that was popular in the Jewish community of that day, used for a head covering? Is Paul dealing with a cultural issue in this passage, or a universal prin...
Does the Bible have anything to say about the application of cosmetics? How are Christians supposed to navigate this topic of debate? Further, what principles from Scripture can we apply that will help us think Biblically about this concept? These are all things that we discuss on today's episode, as we continue our multipart response to a listener's question.

Some within Christendom argue that the Bible has little say concerning that which Christians are to wear, or refrain from wearing. Is this accurate? Does the Bible say anything concerning the outward adornment of the person? Are there areas of prohibition concerning this topic, or merely suggestions that one is to take into consideration? Further, what about passages that seem to portray jewelry in a positive light? These ...
