When hard things happen in life, our faith can be shaken. And when a faith mentor quits believing, it can really give us doubts. We dig into how to pass along truth to our kids so that they won't be shaken when life happens.

We discuss some well meaning things people say, but aren't actually scriptural truth. We also talk about things in life that people can settle for, and how our relationship with Jesus is what truly lasts.

If bitterness takes root in our lives, we may find ourselves acting irrational. We can tend to treat the person we are bitter towards, with a standard we don't hold anyone else to. But on the flip side, if we let the Spirit of Jesus lead us, we may find ourselves doing things most people find impossible. Like what one woman said to the man that killed her husband.

How should I read through prophetic scripture about the end of days? Am I apathetic about Jesus coming back again or obsessed? How would Jesus have me live until he comes back?

We looked at a family vacation drama situation from all sides, that will hopefully prepare us for similar situations in life. It led to a great conversation of what the Bible means when it uses the word "Godliness" and how sometimes we have to give grace to a situation that we will never understand.

There are moments where Jesus' words can be uncomfortable, especially if you were raised in western culture. We talk about what Jesus said and did regarding the Canaanite woman who asked for her daughter's healing.

The Bible tells us to not complain. But what does that practically look like in our every day lives? We go over specific circumstances and whether something is a complaint, or a frustration that we should take to someone else, whether it be an authority/boss or that very person.

No one author sat down and composed the entire Bible. Over the centuries, many have contributed in keeping God's word intact, and translated properly. Some of them gave their lives! We talk about these individuals of the faith and share our gratitude regarding their service.

From life's frustrating moments to the tragedy that happens: God is working in all of it. But how do we trust God through something that doesn't make sense? We find hope in what one of the apostles went through.

Matthew was the least expected person to be invited into a group of disciples. He was hated by his community and betrayed them to the Romans. What kind of community was and is God calling? Are my standards higher than His? No! But the people who I might see as being consistent with the church community might not be the same "picture" as what God sees. Does judgment have a place in my correspondence with others?
