How do you deal with suffering?

Sometimes, the Christian worldview doesn't always equip us for suffering. We don't leave room for it in our theology. However, suffering is a part of life that has a place and purpose that God uses for His glory and our good. Jerell explores suffering for the believer. 

What's it like being a missionary?

This question maybe comes up when we see a flier or hear from a missionary visiting a church, but in that question is another question. Aren't we all missionaries? Jeff shares about his work in Turkey and Cambodia as well as how it translates to the lives of every Christian no matter where they are. 

Are you tired of the noise?

Chances are, you probably are not. With statistics around phone usage out of control, it's easy to see the effects of the noise we invite into our own lives moment by moment. However, Lew posits that we might have lost something valuable to antiquity that should be recovered. 

Sometimes we're thrust before Jesus.

The woman caught in adultery did not come to Jesus, she was caught in her sin and drug to Him. Yet, she was shown mercy. Jamie takes us back to this important event and revisits the material from the Encounter series to show us how good it can be to go back over and over to God's Word. 

If you've heard it once, you've heard it a thousand times. 

Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to the Gospel. We should never tire of its beauty and myriad applications. Sean shares how the Gospel doesn't just transform our behavior but also our attitudes as well. 

Well, that didn't feel good. 

We've all been hurt, it's kind of a part of our human narrative since the Fall. This is true with friends, families, and even inside the church. Sean answers the question about how we handle being hurt by a pastor or leader in the church. 

How do we support our brothers and sisters in Christ, as well as our pastors, as church members?

This is something you might not have considered. It's easy to think of church as a place you go for an hour and a half on Sundays, but there's more to it than that. Sean helps us think through what it means to be a part of a local church and how that is a blessing to us and others around us. 

Are you walking in the Spirit?

Chances are, you've heard this phrase in the church or in Scripture. However, you may have never heard it explained. Sean helps us understand what it means to walk in the Spirit. 

My house isn't clean enough!

We all have ideas in our heads that stop us from crossing the street, literal or proverbial, and meeting our neighbor or familiar barista. However, as ambassadors for Christ we are called and empowered to know and be with our neighbors. Jamie shares what that looks like and how we can find encouragement while facing the challenges of life. 

What question are we really asking when we ask if something is a sin?

We all have a hard time understanding God's character at times and because of that we approach His instruction more or less biblically. Chris and Lew discuss what it means to ask if something is a sin and what questions go unspoken sometimes.
