What time does service start? Do they have childcare? Do they play Hillsong? What's the vibe?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the primary factors in choosing a church. We talk through the essentials to look for while also flipping the script and looking at red flags in churches, especially leadership, so you can know when to consider leaving your church. Spoiler: Many choose churches for the wrong reasons AND leave churches for even worse reasons. Take a listen to see if the church you are a part of is the right one for you!

What is the least talked about spiritual discipline among Christians today? There may be a debate, but we'd argue that it is probably fasting. We are "quick" to ignore fasting. Isn't that ironic?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the spiritual discipline of fasting. We go through all of Scripture to find examples of biblical fasting, then break down the main purpose of fasting and how we as believers should go about fasting today.

Is it a sin to watch maturely rated movies/shows? Are there exceptions? Are some okay while others aren’t?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through entertainment and how Christians should handle movies and shows with mature ratings. Is it wrong to watch a movie with sexual scenes? What about gore? Swearing? What is the line? Are there general principles to apply? We seek to tackle these questions and give biblical principles for how Christians ought to approach entertainment in general, especially when there is known mature content involved.

Almost everyone in our society has been affected by mental illness in some form or fashion in their lifetime. How should we respond to it and what does the Bible say? Are chemical imbalances legitimate?

Is the Earth millions of years old or just thousands? Does the Bible agree with modern science? Are there two separate creation accounts in Genesis 1 and 2?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the creation account in Genesis 1 and shed light on the huge impact that understanding the truth of Genesis has on the rest of the Bible and even on our salvation. The whole Bible is built on the back of Genesis so it is vital to understand whether this account is literal or figurative. As you listen through Scripture with us, I think you’ll find that the answer is clear.

Does the Bible encourage slavery, or speak against it? How can we rationalize all of the times "slavery" is used in the Bible? Did the Bible stand behind what happened to black people in America in the 1800s and in other countries all over the world?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a biblical perspective on slavery and focus on the differing definitions of the term "slavery" in the Bible and how many of them are very different than how we picture slavery today. The Bible speaks to this topic at length, and the answer of whether or not the Bible condones slavery is crystal clear.

Unlimited submission or civil disobedience? We are entering a season where government mandates may again be upon us. Potential business closings, mask mandates, and even potential for a mandatory vaccine. What do we do with these mandates? Are Christians to always obey the government or are there times to defy orders? What does the  Bible say?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a biblical perspective on government and the role they are to play in society, as well as how Christians ought to respond to those in authority over them. The pastors talk through cases of civil disobedience in the Scriptures and what mandates were made to bring those actions about. We hope that as you listen, you will be encouraged and confident in how you ought to respond to government officials and new mandates.

There are a lot of unknowns about this vaccine. Many reports of side effects and vaccinated individuals still getting the virus. What do we do with this vaccine? Is it our duty to get it for the safety of our fellow man? Is it safe and necessary?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a biblical perspective on making tough decisions, especially relating to the conscience God has given us. In a debate with godly people on both sides and not a clear biblical mandate for or against vaccines, the Bible still speaks clearly on how we ought to handle this issue as believers and how to treat other believers who differ from our beliefs.
