Citizen ATX

"Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live" Deueronomy 30:19b. There are many places in God's Word where He instructs us to protect the vulnerable in our community. One of the best ways to do this is by helping out local pro life ministries. Our next guest is Jo Markham. Jo is the Executive Director of Agape Women's Clinic which provides help to families facing an unplanned pregnancy. 

Relationships are important for everyone. This most important relationship is our relationship with God. However, we all need to learn how to have a good relationship with people as well. It is always good to have someone come along side us and help us get better at forming these relationships. Today's guest has a heart for helping people build healthy relationships with both family and coworkers. Welcome Lindsey Werner the Founder and Relational Coach of the Relational Equipping Center here in Austin, TX. 

Many of us have political biases. We can lean hard one way or the other. It take a person of extremely respectable character to throw out your bias in order to make a proper judgement of another person. Today's guest is exactly that type of person. Justice Scott Field serves as a Justice on the 15th Court of Appeals for Texas. We hope that you can gain insights from the way that Scott's faith has influenced his life and career. 

We all have different skills/expertise that set us apart. God can use you to make a difference in people, no matter your circumstance. That is why, in this brand new series, we are sitting down with some of the leaders in our community that have had a major impact on the people they lead. Today's leader is Drew Sanders. Drew is the Head Football coach for the 6A Texas State Champion's, Vandergrift High School. Join Matt and Drew as they discuss coaching, leadership, and how to use your faith to motivate others around you.

Perhaps, the most iconic scene from "The Office", is the episode when Toby comes back and Michael immediately shouts "NOOOOOOO!!" Sometimes God's "no's" feel this loud and abrasive to us. Other times He delivers a soft and subtle "no". Regardless, it is important for us, as DualCitizens, to recognize that God does sometimes respond to us with a "no" and that it is wise to respect His will in all circumstances. Join Matt, Stephen, and Jonathan as they discuss David's ability to accept God's "no". 

Producer Stephen recently shared that one of his favorite hymns is "Trust and Obey". A great line from that hymn is "For there's no other way, to be happy in Jesus. Than to Trust and Obey." Obeying the Lord is certainly an important factor of living a life that is connected to God. As dual citizens, we must find ways to obey God both inside and outside the walls of the church. 

Who is the best leader you can think of? Is there anyone in your life that was super easy to follow? King David was certainly a great leader. However, even as a great leader, we can see a massive difference between David leading the Israelites towards God's plan and David ignoring God's plan to suit his own desires. Join Jonathan, Matt, and Stephen as they discuss David's rise to leadership and the beginning of his new role as king. 

Many of us read the story of the end of Saul's life and can't but think to a time where it seemed like nothing was going our way. Although most of us have probably never had an experience with conjuring the ghost of a prophet, I think we can all identify with Saul's story to some degree. Join Stephen, Matt, and Jonathan as they discuss chapters 28 & 31 of 1 Samuel. 

"Don't make me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry." Anger is a strange emotion that is often misconstrued. While most of us don't necessarily turn into The Hulk when we get angry, many of us do struggle with allowing anger to get the best of us. How do we approach difficult situations that make us angry? Is there a proper use of anger in a Biblical context? Learn the answer to these questions and many more with Nathan, Matt, and Stephen as they talk through the events of 1 Samuel 25:9-35. 

Does anyone remember the movie Jungle Book? (I am of-course referring to the better made cartoon version from the 90's). Every time I think of someone getting another person to trust them I can't help but think of Kaa singing "Trusssssssst in meeeeee".....am I the only one...I guess so.... WELL, God doesn't have to beg for our attention. He knows exactly how to call us into the next part of His plan. No one understood that more than David. Join Matt, Jonathan, and Stephen as they discuss the ways that David trusted in God's plan, and rose to the occasion when He called.
