Ep. 81 In this episode, we are reintroducing the most intimidating member of the Trinity for many believers. Who is the Holy Spirit? What is His role in our lives?

Even the seemingly strange or sometimes uncomfortable parts of Scripture can teach us val...

Ep. 75 In this episode, we're setting straight some bad "Instagram theology" that has led too many casual scrollers astray. Does God have any plan for my life at all? How can I find out what His plans are? Is God mad at me when bad things happen? It's so important to read Scripture in its full original context and when you do, it reveals much deeper truth and encouragement in passages like Jeremiah 29:11!

Ep. 72 In this episode, we're looking to the cozy Christmas lights to teach us what happens if we never take a break to unplug from our busy schedules. How do I keep from burning out in life or ministry? What do I do if I am burned out? Is it possible to get my light back after I've been burned out for a while? The world needs your light, but it is still necessary to take a break when you're running out of steam; even Jesus took ti...

Ep. 71 In this episode, we're speaking to the believers who know what it feels like to weather one of life's rain storms. What is the proper response to storms of difficulty in the Christian life?

Ep. 67 In this episode, we're facing one of the most challenging, perhaps uncomfortable, and even taboo topics head-on.

How does this special community impact the daily life and ministry of believers? Whether you have been diagnosed with an intellectual or developmental disability yourself or a...

Ep. 66 In this episode, we tackle what is perhaps the most common accusation against the Church. What is a hypocrite? Why are there so many Christians who don't do what they preach?

Ep. 63 In this episode, we take a deeper look into the mindset of the Israelites when God rained down manna from heaven and find that sometimes, we're just like them. Why doesn't God bless me the way I ask Him to? How come other people seem to have more than me? What am I supposed to do with the blessings God does give me? God gives to each of us according to a specific purpose, which is for those gifts to be shared with pe...
