17:17 Podcast

Some of the most popular Christian worship songs seem awesome, but they're produced by artists with sketchy beliefs. A couple of those artists are from Hillsong and Bethel church. Should churches be singing songs from places that we disagree with theologically?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener's question to seek to perspective to the debate about what music is acceptable for churches to play in worship. Our hope is that as you listen, you would have a clearer understanding of how to evaluate truth vs error and how to appropriately consume content from teachers/artists that have gone by the wayside.

One of the few things that gives hope to someone who has lost a loved one is that they will see them again in heaven. Will the relationship be the same though, or will it look different? Will we keep the same relationships in heaven that we had on earth?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through a listener's question to seek to bring some clarity to this question. Although Scripture doesn't give a specific answer on this, there are plenty of verses that provide some context that bring light to this idea. Our hope is that as you listen, you will be encouraged about relationships here on earth that have been lost because God gives plenty of evidence that we will reunite with our loved ones in some capacity in heaven someday.

How can a land of so many religions be considered "Christian?" Was America ever a Christian nation? If so, what has changed? 

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at the history of America and its founders to try to decipher whether or not America was ever a Christian nation. From there, we look at popular laws and worldviews held by Americans and compare them to Scripture to discern whether or not America is a Christian nation in 2023.

It's the summer months and everyone is itching to get outside and to the beach for some sun...but with that comes a lot of skin and even more debate as to how people should dress. What is modesty and is it important or is it overemphasized?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and his wife, Carina, talk through the concept of modesty and how Christians ought to show (or not show) their bodies. They talk through what it means to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, the idea of causing a fellow believer to stumble, and what it looks like to dress modestly as well as the heart behind it. Our hope is that as you listen, you will be encouraged to honor God in all that you do, even as you decide what to wear each morning!

Ugh, taxes. One of the things that the average person can agree with anyone else on is disdain for taxes. Some think we should tax the rich more, others think we should have a flat tax, and some even believe we shouldn't have taxes at all. Is taxation theft?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek look at a story of a disagreement between Paul and Barnabas and look at what we can learn from that and apply to our world today where Christians disagree on all sorts of things, some significant and some not so significant. We hope that this episode encourages you to engage in controversial conversations more equipped biblically.

Over 60% of Americans identify as Christians, but is that accurate? How can we really know if someone is saved? Does an Instagram bio with John 3:16 in it qualify?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk about some biblical standards by which we can evaluate the difference between genuine faith and one that isn’t. Our hope is that as you listen, you first and foremost look at your own heart and faith to evaluate where you stand with Jesus and can be encouraged that Jesus gives so much grace and that it is never too late while you’re on this earth to be made right with Jesus!

Gay Pride Month is coming up and everyone has an opinion about it. Why is pride a big deal and what does God have to say about it? Should we be proud of who we are?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk about the impact that pride has on the lives of every human being out there. Pride is mentioned plenty in the Bible, so we attempt to tackle the topic and how Christians ought to view this issue in their own lives. Our hope is that this episode leads you to a closer relationship with God as we seek to give Him to glory for who we are and what we do!

What the heck is conversion therapy and why does it matter? With a recent bill passed in the state of Minnesota (and other states as well), this is a topic that needs to be addressed because of the implications it holds for Christian counselors and pastors.

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through the recent bill being passed banning conversion therapy in the state of Minnesota. We look at some of the particular language and how it could come face to face with how the Bible instructs believers to deal with sin through confession, prayer, and accountability. Our hope is that as you listen, you will be more informed about this topic and able to take a stance on it that is consistent with what Scripture teaches.

Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life, but something that seems to fluctuate in a lot of Christian’s lives. Prayer can be frustrating when we feel like God isn’t even there and other times just feels ritualistic. How can we possibly develop a prayer life that aligns with the likes of David and Daniel in Scripture?

In today’s episode, Pastor Jackie and Pastor Derek talk through how to develop a powerful prayer life. We walk through some practical steps to orienting our prayers in a way consistent throughout Scripture as well as some resources to help when prayer doesn’t come so easy. The Bible tells us to pray without ceasing and although that goal may be unattainable, God wants to be a part of our lives and we hope that this episode can kickstart your prayer life to be powerful and personal!
