I recently read that a Gallup poll revealed that a record low number of Americans now believe in God. As I look around at all those that seem to be drifting through life like a ship without a rudder, it really comes as no surprise. It is very disheartening, but comes as no surprise. Is there answers to this age of outrage we're living through in the reality that people are losing their faith?

How does loss of faith relate to Hate and Anger?
I have often heard it said that those who are strong in their faith in God are happier than those who are not. This may be an answer as to why we are seeing acts of outrage increasing while the number of Americans who believe in God are decreasing.

How do we draw closer to God the creator?
This week's guest, Paul Rakowicz, provided some great insight into his thoughts on this topic. Paul is a fellow podcaster (The Created Order Podcast), pastor, author and Spiritual Fitness Christian Life Coach.
Paul has been studying and reading the Bible for over 30 years. With that experience came the passion to help fellow Christians.
Driven by that passion, Paul developed the Essential Spiritual Fitness Program, the simple yet proven method to help every Christian go beyond "mere salvation" into the fullness of the Kingdom.
Outside of helping disciples of Christ actively apply His teachings, Paul continues his career in the business world leading high performance teams. All the while, raising his family and writing books on our faith and its practical application in the real world.

Topics of discussion:

  • Is there salvation through faith alone?
  • What is our duty to God?
  • What is the importance of Free Will?
  • What is Poverty of Spirit?
  • What is "dispassion" and the logical falacy?

The world is a better place if we are better people. That begins with each of us as individuals. Be kind to one another. Be grateful for all you’ve got. Make every day the day that you want it to be!
