How do we read the Bible?

The Bible is a big book, well books actually. It can be intimidating to approach or easy to skim. However, Jamie shares some insight into the thought processes around interacting with God's Word and its efficacy.

There are lots of ways we can talk or not talk. There are even more ways we can use our tongue for evil. Jamie shares how simplicity of speech can be used to bless others and honor God when we consider a few principles and employ discipline. 

What did Solomon ask for?

Scripture is full of examples who started well and tragically ended in a ball of flames. We can often be left puzzled by how it all went wrong. Sean shares his favorite verse in the Bible and an encouragement about what we can learn from Solomon's life. 

Does God use evil spirits?

That was a question emailed to Sean from a church-goer and is a good question to consider. Sometimes the Bible can leave us perplexed and asking if it really just said what it said. Sean offers some of his insights to help offer clarity to what Scripture has to say on the matter. 

Why do you do, what you do?

No matter what arena of life we find ourselves in, it can be difficult when we are faced with the question of purpose. It's easy to split our ideas about work into the categories of the mundane and the marvelous. A pastor or missionary or government official may be marvelous in our minds. A gas station attendant or farmer or office worker may be mundane. But, what does Scripture have to say on the matter? Jerell helps us understand an ethic grounded in Scripture to bring clarity and purpose to our lives. 

Who is your idol?]

Every felt like you're on the outside?

Sometimes we can feel like part of the outer circle. We're semi-interested in getting involved, sorta committed, we kinda care. Jerell helps us navigate some perceived barriers of being an involved member of the local church.
