Talking today about the gifts of the Spirit. Are they still active, or is John MacArthur right? Nate and Micah talk about the biblical basis behind the gifts and the importance of pursuing them. 

Micah and Nate are joined by their friend, Laura Gray, who is a 2nd year PhD student studying Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois to discuss what the Bible says about caring for the world around us. Why should I care about conservation? What are we actually trying to work towards? What are some things that I can do today to do my part? Listen to this pod and find out!

Can you be a Christian and read Harry Potter? Nate and Micah talk about media consumption and what the Bible actually says about the spiritual realm. If there is a storyline of redemption, is that reason enough to justify the introduction of mysticism? Let's find out!

Can there really be too much of a good thing? Nathan and Micah discuss overindulgence and how to establish clear, healthy boundaries. 

Micah and Nathan sit down and talk about revival infatuation. Emotional manipulation is present in most religions and the charismatic movement in particular has caught some flack over the last decade or so. Where do we draw the line between actively seeking greater and greater experiences with the Holy Spirit and setting up disciplines to further learn about God from the Bible? Join us to find out!

It's important to view ourselves with the Imago Dei (image of God). Where is the balance between loving ourselves and loving others? Micah and Nathan explore verses in Galatians 1 and James 4 to help answer this question. Should we shave our heads and wear sack cloths or go have daily spa treatments? It's somewhere in the middle - let's find that together. 

In this episode, Nathan and Micah discuss legalism and obedience as they relate to language. Does it really matter what words we choose to say? Is the intent behind our words more important? What wisdom does scripture offer for our personal responsibility of understanding semantics and what are the consequences if we ignore that wisdom? This week, let's find out!

Nathan's first pod! Preference, commitment, FOMO, community - we talk about it all. What responsibility do we carry for serving in the local church? What happens if I don't commit to a local church - what would happen if I did?

Jonah's last pod! We talked today about life transitions. Changes tend to hit right when we get comfortable. This is a fitting topic for us, as we both have some substantial shifts happening in our lives at the moment. If you like Jonah, this is the last chance you'll get to hear from him. 

Talking about the fun stuff today. Super excited to have Laurie Krieg join us today to talk about her story. The Church has a hard time talking about LGBTQ issues, which is super disappointing. Laurie has a very unique perspective that helps start conversations. Excited for you all to hear our conversation!
