There are some "scary" verses in the Bible, namely the ones that make you feel like God will condemn you if you don't "bear fruit". But who was the original audience that Jesus was speaking to, and why is that so important when we read scripture today? We dive in to Luke 13 about the parable of the fig tree. 

This week, we imagine heaven. What does it ACTUALLY look like, compared to what people have said about it? Is it more than just floating on a cloud? Could it be that what we love about life now, we'll be doing in heaven? 

This week we discuss some passive aggressive phrases, and try to work out alternatives with more honesty and clarity. This is especially when it comes to parents communicating with kids.

We follow up our conversation on spiritual gifts, with this conversation about natural gifts? Have a talent, hobby, interest? Good! All of us can use those for the kingdom of God.

This week we discuss how God has gifted each one of us. But what exactly is a "spiritual gift" and how do we know if we have it? How does this vary from natural giftings, like intelligence or athletic ability? We get into it!

Should we protect kids from the harsh parts of the Bible? Does that prevent them from hearing the whole message? We dig in to this topic, trying to figure out when to tell children the hardest parts of the Bible and how to have that conversation.

We reflect on America's 250th birthday. There are so many people to thank for our freedom in this country, but especially as it pertains to the forefathers: how can Bible stories guide us to not put people on pedestals?

This week we had a great discussion on Christian principles within life's big decisions. There are times the world says, "THIS is how you get the promotion, or the role, or make the team" but what does God want us to do? Rachelle opens up about her house hunt, and the conviction her husband has that others might not in the home buying process.

This week we discuss how "open" the church doors really are. What happens if a person of a different faith wants to be involved with more than attending on Sunday morning? Singer Brandon Lake was recently asked this question by a reporter. We discuss his answer, plus a similar situation that happened to Carder.

This week we discuss the range of faith that people can be on, including people that have walked away from Christianity and want to come back. How should the church handle it? And can "Christian" songs ONLY come from people who are Christians?
