Episode Synopsis

 

Segment One:

 

Carl talks about a lesson learned regarding "casting a wide net".

We discuss the distinction between genuine love and fear-based "love".

Carl connects this to divergent doctrines about "hell".

Chris makes his own connection to the Amish tradition of rumspringa.

We clarify the difference between fear of discipline and fear of rejection.

What do we mean when we say Jesus gets in our way sometimes — why does He do it, and why is it important?

Carl connects this with the analogy of a potter shattering a broken pot to make something new from the pieces.

God is our Potter and we are the broken pieces in His hands.

We discuss Paul's experience on the road to Damascus.

This all highlights the space of time God allows between judgment declared and judgment applied.

We discuss how this relates to the true meaning of being "under Grace".

Segment Two:

 

Carl plays an unpublished off-air discussion with Grace from a previous week about Dino Nuggets to make a humorous connection with this week's discussion topic:

Does our inward substance match our outward show?

We discuss the need for sanctification to begin in the heart.

We read through and discuss the 3rd chapter of Philippians.

Paul is not pitting the Law of God against the Grace of God here.

He is explaining how they relate to one another in the heart of a believer who TRUSTS in God.

Was Paul's "thorn" (2 Corinthians 12:7) a struggle with doubt?

How does this possibility contrast with our trust?

Paul is pointing us toward transformation of our inward substance.

The Commandments we obey don't necessarily change — we do.

It is not the definition of righteousness that Paul is addressing, but our means to attaining it. 

Carl closes with a picture of the sort of sanctification and transformation we have discussed as given in the 3rd chapter of Zechariah, then Chris explains the process of remolding broken pots using the analogy of the Living Water (Jesus) applied to soften the clay (us).

In this episode the round-table talk about different ways to submit. Are we submitting or are we just giving in? Different points of views and different takes on this one makes for a great conversation.

In this episode, the round-table talk about the importance of Forgiveness. How hard it is to forgive and especially how hard it is to Forgive AND Forget. That's the human side right? Forgive, sure sure. Forget? Ummm well let's hold up a second, but Jesus did. God does. So why can't we? Why is it so hard?!

This week we discuss Acts 14:22, and what it means to us to "enter into the Kingdom through many hardships."

Episode Synopsis

 

Segment One:

 

We begin by discussing why Abba allows us to walk through hardships.

We talk a bit about the invasion of Ukraine, what it might mean for all of us moving forward, and Carl's concern about the possible prophetic implications.

Is God telling a world obsessed with their own glory to glorify Him?

Carl discusses what he calls "confirmations" from God, and how the logistics and timing involved often proves that He can and will plan out even our individual steps.  He is in complete control.

 

Mid-Episode Song Break:

 

"Ladies and Gentlemen" by WesBlaze

 

Segment Two:

 

Chris asks, "What does it mean to honor your father and your mother?"

How does that command apply when your parents are "ungodly" or acting in "rebellion"?

Carl concludes the episode by sharing his own takeaway from Acts 14:22:  We need to be refined through hardships on our journey toward the Kingdom.

That refinement, as a process, brings us closer to the "holiness" God desires for us, but what does that mean?

In this episode, the round-table discuss

What is God's Will in your life? Are you following it or not listening even though you know you should?

This week we begin by discussing why it is important to maintain genuine love and Biblical Truth, without compromising one for the other.  After that, and following our featured song for the week, we are joined by Pastor Micah to talk about, among other things, the meaning behind the 40-day phenomenon repeated throughout Scripture.
