Commissioned

College is the time most of us begin to think more seriously about our finances. As Christians, it's important that we learn what it means to be good stewards of our money, because we believe that everything we have ultimately belongs to God. Our guest speakers, James and Benson, share with us some wisdom on how to approach our finances as disciples of Christ. We hope that you find this podcast helpful as you consider this topic!

In light of all the recent violent attacks happening to the Asian American community, we felt that we needed to speak out on this topic. In this episode, we talk about what it's like being an Asian American, particularly, an Asian American woman. Two Asian American women, Hannah and Laura, share their own thoughts and experiences on what it's like being an Asian woman living in America. We hope this episode can bring you a sense of solidarity and provide some insight into what life is like for Asian American women.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. We all make them. And the reality is that a lot of Christians often make excuses for not going to church or making our relationship with God a priority. What do we do when we find ourselves making these excuses? Our guests, Caleb, Candice, and Evan share on this topic and we hope that this episode encourages you if you're finding yourself in this situation.

Welcome back to another episode of Commissioned! In today's episode, we cover the complex, difficult, yet very popular topic of dating. In a world where the secular world speaks so much into this topic, we need to seek what God's desire for dating is. Our guest speakers, Jenny/Paul and Linda/Ernie, share wisdom on the topic that they've gained from years of dating and marriage. Join us as we take a journey on the hunt, the game, and the pain of dating!

What are your plans for after college? What do you want to do for your career? What do you want to do for the rest of your life? These are questions that college students get bombarded with constantly. Vocation is important, which is why we want to help you navigate questions of vocation from a Christian perspective. In order to do this, we've brought on three special guests: Hannah, Helen and Robby, each of whom has a different career background and a lot of wisdom to share with collegians wrestling with this topic. We hope that this podcast is a blessing to you on your career journey!

Jealousy is an issue that plagues many of us, if not all of us. But is jealousy even a sin? Why do people struggle with jealousy? What are its consequences and how do I fight it? There are many questions regarding jealousy, and in this week's episode of Commissioned, our speakers Laura, James and Hannah discuss this topic in the hopes of helping collegians navigate jealousy in a way that honors Christ.

Join us in this week's discussion about Parachurch Ministries as we address the relationship between the local church and parachurch. "Is it wrong to be involved in a parachurch ministry? What does the ideal relationship between the two look like? What if I like one more than the other?" These are all great questions we will discuss and MORE, so tune in to find out!

Welcome back to our second episode! In this week's podcast, our guest speakers, Michael, Sarah, and Arthur, tackle the topic of friendship. As disciples of Christ, we're called to be in relationship with others, but how do we do this well? Our speakers dive into questions like "How do you make and maintain friendships during a pandemic?" "How do you deal with conflict?" and many more. We hope that this episode is a blessing to you as you grow as a disciple of Christ!

During this season of Covid, when everything has shifted online, it's become increasingly difficult to stay engaged in the things we're apart of. One significant question we'd like to ask is how do we navigate going to church online? Can we even consider it "church" anymore? In today's episode of "Commissioned", we tackle the topic of church online by looking at the good, the bad, and the next.
