There are many vices in the world that will quickly bring us to a place of indulgence. These things are often good on their own, but with too much attention they can become a distraction from the purpose that God has called us to. Join Jonathan and Matt as they discuss this last Soul Killer: Indulgence.

When you were a kid you may have heard the phrase "secrets don't make friends and friends don't make secrets." We understand from a young age that keeping secrets is an unhealthy practice. Why does keeping secrets have such a negative effect on our spiritual life? Join Jonathan and Matt in the next episode of Soul Killers.

When you think of independence it tends to be in a positive light. A child getting independence and starting life on their own. "The Declaration of Independence" and a nation declaring its freedom from an oppressive government. However, we don't always see the down side of independence. Join Jonathan and Matt as they discuss this topic of independence and why it is such a Soul Killer.

This week we covered the Spiritual Pathway of service. What is the opposite of service? Apathy. Join Corbin and Jonathan as they discuss this Soul Killer, and how it affects our daily lives when we choose to avoid service. 

"I'm just too busy". We all have used this phrase at some point in our lives. Many of us use it every week. If we are being honest, sometimes we're not even actually THAT busy. However, there is plenty in this world to keep you busy. The more your responsibilities grow the busier you get and the less time you have for other areas. But how do we find time for Silence/Solitude in a season of busyness? Join Matt and Nathan as they discuss this concept of busyness and how to be productive in life while still setting aside time to spend with the Lord each day. 

Worship is the way that we show our appreciation of the Lord for who He is and what He has done. It is a moment where we set aside our own thoughts, worries, burdens, and interests; to glorify the Almighty God. But what is the opposite of worship? That would be Pride. Pride happens when we begin to turn from worshipping God and instead start to worship ourselves. Join Matt and Lindsey as they discuss the harmful effects of the Soul Killer: Pride. 

What is the opposite someone who has a desire to read scripture and seek wisdom from the Lord? It is someone who constantly thinks they are right and are ignorant to the truth of God's Word. Join Matt and Jonathan as they discuss this idea of ignorance and how you can follow the path of seeking wisdom from God instead. 

We see the consequences of the Fall everywhere. Some of these consequences are obvious...sickness...death... But what are we to make of the things that aren't expressly stated in the curse? What connections can be drawn from this passage to other passages in the Bible? Join Nathan, Jonathan, and Corbin as they discuss the curse of man.

Who is this serpent that tricks Eve? What even is a serpent? Did they have legs before the punishment? These and so many other questions are answered on today's episode. Join Nathan, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss Satan's punishment and how it plays out in our interactions with Satan today. 

"What goes up, must come down." It is written in the laws of gravity, and it has been written in the history of man. Adam and Eve sinned in the garden which unleashed a whole world of evil and suffering. But what does this mean for us? Why is sin something that affects us so much? Join Jonathan, Corbin, and Stephen as they discuss the fall of man and its impact on humans.
