Praying is one of the most life-giving and fundamental practices of the Christian life. We know that and yet our experience is that it is also one of the most hair-pulling and frustrating practices of the Christian life. Today, listen in to our Sunday School discussion on prayer and ask God to help you to pray. 

(This lesson is heavily indebted to Paul Miller's A Praying Life.)

Brax and Zach talk about racism and the gospel in the wake of George Floyd's horrific murder. We hope that this conversation is helpful. 

What is Jesus like? He is like a child. He is the most dependent person who has ever lived. He is the most loving person who has ever lived. 

Join us in this episode of Brax Tacks as we encounter Jesus.

(This episode includes a new segment, Christianity at the Movies. We discuss the Christian realities in Pixar's Up and the Christlikeness of Michael B. Jordan's character, Bryan Stevenson in the movie Just Mercy). 

The extent of Jesus' love was astonishing for those who met him 2,000 years ago and it's just as astonishing for us today. What's more, Jesus loves to love us! It's not a duty for him-- it's his food!

John chapter 4 has one of the most beautiful conversations ever recorded between Jesus and a Samaritan woman. How does Jesus approach her? What is his attitude? How does he love her in her situation? We hope you'll listen and see how Jesus loves us when we have a conversation with him.

In this episode, we examine the context surrounding the most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16. 

Sorry for the technical difficulties, the audio quality was low for some reason and stopped recording before the end of our time together.

Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. As Christians, how do we love our Muslim neighbors well and point them to Jesus? Join us and special guest, Matt Hutchcraft as we explore the answers!

Who is Jesus and what is he like? Why does John's gospel include such a seemingly unimportant miracle at the start of Jesus's ministry?

Join us for this exciting episode of Brax Tacks.

What is Jesus like? We hear about him. We hear that he's loving, kind, honest, joyful, sorrowful, etc. But what do those things look like? Those things are all detached and impersonal if they are not displayed in a person. 

This week, we start looking at the gospel of John to try to see what Jesus is like. 

When the world is as chaotic as it is, we need something to grasp onto for stability. This is what we would call hope. As Christians, we need to understand the content of our hope. Today, Brax and Zach discuss what our hope is in both life and death.
