The Bible is filled with stories of great feats of faith, courage, and strength. But have you ever wondered about the rest of the story? Each of the great Bible characters lived ordinary lives and dealt with and experienced the monotonous, just like we do. But these moments in between the chapters gave each man and woman of Christ the opportunity to practice what it was to be a follower of God in the mundane. Join host Jerrad Lopes as he explores the idea that God gives these everyday opportunities in order for us to practice obedience and faithfulness in the little things. This episode is an opportunity to delve deeper into scripture and see more than just what is written on the page.

As men, we subconsciously rely on our good behavior and moral deeds to find righteousness with God. But, the truth is, despite what we look like on the outside, we are all filthy on the inside, and in desperate need of a savior.

You don't need more popular parenting tips, you need Jesus. You need to be reminded of the Gospel. Understanding what God has done in the world and in your life will deeply change the way you act as a parent and husband.

Jesus is offering you a steak dinner, but too often we settle for mac n' cheese.

Jesus isn't like anyone else in your life. He isn't like your friends. Or your boss. Or you dad. He is different. He is gracious and compassionate. He is slow to anger and abounding in love and faithfulness. In this episode, Jerrad gives us a glimpse into a side of Jesus that many of us have never seen before.

As 2017 comes to an end and we approach the new year, it's helpful to to pause and remember what God has done over the last year and what he wants to do in your life over the next year.
