Today we have a special guest with us who is sharing about his work as a missionary!  Steven Johnson is a missionary, a trainer of missionaries, and...he is also the Nate's father!  We are so thankful for his wisdom and passion for missions and for people who need to hear the Word of God!  What a blessing this episode was to us and we hope for you as well!

In Episode 17, Travis, Nate, and Jared return to 1 Corinthians to examine the warning about being deceived by sin, about accepting sin in our lives that perhaps the culture around us has accepted, but that God does not. We are called to repent and turn to the wonder of the Grace of God and walk in a relationship with God. 

In episode 16, Travis, Nate, and Jared discuss questions from Church in the Park. Discipline in Hebrews is an act of love, so what does that mean for loving discipline within our churches and our families? 

Nate, Travis, and Jared pastor 3 separate churches, but once a summer our congregations come together for a Corporate Worship Service at our local city park. This year, we are discussing Hebrews 12.1-17 as our text. Take a listen and get an idea how our podcast started!  

The Corinthians are fighting and bickering over 'trivial matters' and going after each other with lawsuits and Paul discusses how we are to approach wrongdoing and restoration. We are to seek justice, but also be willing to be wrong for the sake of Christ and the gospel. 

Ministry is not easy, in fact, at times it can be very difficult.  God's grace through the Holy Spirit is given so that we might minister in grace to others. Speaking the truth in love is important, and you can't do one without the other. 

We recorded this episode back in May and with the posting of this one, we are back on our normal schedule!  Sin separates us from God, all of it. From a white lie to the most heinous sin, God is opposed to it all. Sexual sin in modern America is nearly a taboo topic, but it shouldn't be. We must speak the truth in love, desiring what is best for people, and knowing and trusting that obedience to God will bring long-term joy. We are always so very thankful for the wonder of God's grace. 

We've haven't released a new episode in a while, but we are back! This week we introduce John, our newest colleague who is working with Jared at Roseau Community Church! 

The Word of God is our final authority, we build on lives on what is says, not what we would like it to say. His Word has been given to us and we are to be stewards of the message and the mysteries that are set forth in it. 

This is a special release of Easter reflections. Easter is a such an important part of the Christian life. In today's episode, we look at various parts of the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
