On Marco's first official day of work, he joins Ben to discuss Ben's sermon from Colossians 1:28-29. They discuss the student ministry and the spiritual hunger of teens at Elevate, define sequential exposition and give an update on Bradley King's internship. They answer: "If I feel my faith is stagnant, should I then cease from trying to share with others?" "What's the connection between proclaiming Christ and faith and repentance?" And if you're not in a LIFEGroup...GET IN A LIFEGROUP!!!!!

Danny and Marco enjoy the atmosphere at Roscoes as they recap and follow up from the sermon on 1 Timothy 2:1-4. They deal with questions like, "Why were OT people told to fight, literally, yet we shouldn't consider ourselves at war with others?" "Should we be viewing other people in society as our enemies?" and "Why do you think Paul chose quiet and peace as the things to pray for, and how should that set our expectations for our influence on the culture?"Plus, stick around to the end to hear an update from Marco about his transition to staff.

Marco and Danny talk through "no condemnation," the epic poem of Virgil that speaks of the "body of death" and what it's like to battle against sin.

Marco and Danny review Marco's sermon from Gathering at the Gazebo. Together, they break down application from the sermon, discuss how we become what we worship, and hear a little more of Marco's heart for corporate worship.

Marco's back in the seat! He and Danny answer some questions that were sent in (thank you!) regarding how sin affects the believer differently from the unbeliever. They also dig a little more into some tricky statements that Paul makes in Romans 7 and seek to bring a little more clarity.

Ben's getting comfy in that chair as he joins Danny to discuss the sermon from Sunday. Together, they end up having a discussion about envy, coveting, ambition and complacency.

We're baaaaack...We make up for a few weeks off by going WAY into "penalty minutes." First, the podcast starts off with discussing the text, including questions like, "If feeling struggles to come on board with doctrine, does that mean we are actually lacking faith?" "How can the way the world labels sin patterns actually get in the way of us overcoming faith?" and Marco asks Danny to give some examples from his own life on presenting himself for righteousness, rather than sin.Then, we go "bonus mode" by offering some follow-up thoughts and applications from Danny's discussion of the Dobb's decision in the Supreme Court, that he shared on July 3.

Marco and Danny break down some of the sermon from Sunday as we get back into Romans. Marco also recaps his sermon from John 4, which he preached at another church. Lastly, they jump back to Acts 1 and answer a question that was texted in about using how to use our personal testimony in a way that doesn't sound like "my truth" as people today will quickly accept.Music by Zeke Wright music
