Deep Dive 4 Life

If God is loving, how could a virus like COVID-19 exist? Join us this week as we dive into this question with special guest Rev. Andy Watson. This discussion was sparked while reading The Case For Faith by Lee Strobel. In his book, Strobel breaks down a question many Christians and non-believers face, if God is loving, why does evil exist? We have put a new spin on that question relating the current pandemic, and no, we are not discussing any personal connections involving COVID-19. Stay tuned for part two next week!

Deep Dive 4 Life is designed to encourage discussion and discernment when viewing the world with a biblical perspective.

There is no doubt 2020 has been a rough year. 2021 offers a new perspective on your life as well as your relationship with your Heavenly Father. Paul tells us that we are "new creations" in Christ; the old is gone, the new is here. Yet, we still like playing around with dead and dying things. Let 2021 be a new beginning. God offers us a fresh start, so why don't we take His offer?

Have you ever noticed how children act differently when their parents are in the room? Imagine what would happen if the Creator of the Universe was sitting next to us. That's the Christmas story. Jesus was given the name Immanuel, "God With Us." God stepped down from the splendor of Heaven and came to Earth so that we could have a personal relationship with Him, but we tend to forget that. We tend to become complacent with our devotion, with our worship, and with our relationships. Our complacency comes to the point we no longer remember that God is with us. We separate ourselves from our Father. Imagine the change that would take place if Jesus was next to us when we worship, next to us in our alone time, next to us in the hard times. BUT THAT IS THE SECRET (and it's not even a secret...). GOD IS WITH US. This week, Chris and Pastor Andrew dive into some of the changes that could and should take place in our everyday walk with Christ when we realize God is with us. This is a special Christmas episode with a little holiday cheer added. From all of us at Deep Dive 4 Life, we wish every listener a safe and merry Christmas.

The Bible is one of the most important aspects of Christianity. Jesus says, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4), i.e. the scriptures should be more sustaining than food. But sadly, most Americans are left hungry, hungry for what the Word of God has to say. Why is that? In today's discussion, Chris and Pastor Andrew talk about the good, the bad, and the ugly about the Bible...

The Lord's Prayer is powerful. You know, the disciples could have asked Jesus for anything, but they asked Him to show them how to pray. Prayer is our connection with our Creator, thanks to Jesus. So who better to show us how to pray than the Creator Himself? This week Chris and Pastor Andrew dive deep into the Lord's Prayer line by line to find out what Jesus was trying to teach the disciples, and by extension, us Christians, about prayer. If you have any questions about prayer feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

But the conversation does not end here! Join us next week as we continue our conversation and dive into more scripture to find out what we are called to become.

This episode includes some extra thoughts from our discussion about prayer. I didn't want to cut these completely out of the discussion so here they are as a bonus! Enjoy!

Prayer is a mysterious thing; much like the Trinity, we do not fully understand everything surrounding prayer. Similar to the Bible, where you can spend an entire lifetime discovering new aspects, it is also easy enough for anyone to start and be fulfilled on the surface level. This week Chris and Pastor Andrew discuss a few aspects of prayer and how to apply them in our Christian walks.  If you have any questions about prayer, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected].

What does following Jesus really look like? This week Chris and Andrew dive into the first principle: Humility & Fasting.

True humility can be an elusive trait for modern Christians. We need to ensure we neither think too highly of ourselves nor think of ourselves as worthless. It can be simple to sway too far to either side, so we look to scripture to show us how to remain humble. One tool mentioned in scripture is fasting. Fasting is an act of depriving ourselves of something to redirect our focus on something else; in a Christian's case, we would hopefully be redirecting ourselves to God and aligning ourselves with His will. However, we would like to warn you about becoming legalistic. It can be easy to become focused on the rules involved with fasting alone and not the main reason for completing a fast. Also, a word of warning, please do not fast to the point of putting yourself in danger.  If you have any questions about fasting or humility, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We would love to answer some of your questions on the show!

Dive in with Chris and Andrew as we tackle the question, what does a Christian look like? This is part two of a short two-part series on how Christians SHOULD live compared to how we normally do. We look at passages from the gospel of John.

It's easy to see that Christians are not living up to our full potential. With influences from the world pulling us away from what we should be focused on, Christians have to stay vigilant. We are bombarded with desires to become one with the world, and yet we are called to be God's children. As scripture tells us, we are called to be "in" the world, yet not "of" the world. Do you see the issue here? We must remind ourselves to keep diving into scripture in order to realign ourselves daily and keep from becoming one with the world.
