Anything But Quiet Time with Rachelle & Carder

A frustrating, yet relieving conversation as we discuss examples on how WE can't change people. Only God changes hearts. So what do we do in the meantime? We discuss that, along with a story where Carder's patience was tested by his friend's girlfriend. 

This week we talk about looking up from our Bible to actually love people. Carder shares a story about how a homeless man called him out. Rachelle shares about something helpful to try when looking in the mirror and you don't like what you see. 

We discuss the fascinating story of Nabeel Qureshi, who was a devout Muslim. But through seeking ultimate truth, found Jesus.

The humanity and hopeless in a recent Eminem song has made headlines, as his family was hurt by his past mistakes. We talk about the true hope that can be present in any circumstance. Plus, how our worldview makes a huge different in hope level, as Carder responds to some Atheist comments. 

The Little Mermaid is a Christian? We have a great discussion about that, along with the hard topic of losing loved ones too soon in life and how God's plan is something we can trust, even when we don't understand it. 

This week it's the common misconception about "being good enough to go to Heaven". Our culture says, "perform and earn" yet God has worked with us differently from the very beginning. Rachelle also brings up a discussion about life goals and dreams and trying to understand what God has planned for us in life. 

Kristen Brewer is the writer and producer on the Sight & Sound production "Daniel: Live on Stage", and after much research to write for the production, found a lot that we often miss in the "Sunday school" version of Daniel. She shares in depth the hope we can again after just a little context.

When life throws stuff at us, how do we fight? Ephesians 6 gives us great insight on letting God fight for us. Especially because there is a battle happening that we can't see.

We talk about handing the baton to the next generation and that both parties are responsible in that trade off. Also that we can go to God first about anything, even something as simple as a headache; plus a question of our day: do you have the right to speak out on an issue without the lived experience?
