Emotions and Anxiety

 

After a bit of a break, Alec and Tres are back to talk about - you guessed it - emotions and anxiety. This is a pretty difficult topic to discuss in many church circles due to the variance in opinion, much of which isn't Biblically-founded. We do our best to give it to you straight, biblically-based, and through iTunes and Spotify. Of course it's still our opinions. Here's another opinion: This is a great podcast and you should share it with your friends!

Talking about talking about Jesus

 

Boy oh boy is this a topic ripe for discussion! Tres and Alec talk about the current trends and practices in much of modern evangelism today. Alec does a bit of ranting, but he's so charming we don't seem to mind. Tres is also present, but in a more well-adjusted way. But in all seriousness, there is much that could be bettered in evangelism today, and Alec and Tres go in-depth on the good and the bad. This episode is sure to be beneficial to anyone who just doesn't know where to begin when it comes to evangelism, yet experienced faith-sharers will be challenged to think through why they do what they do.
