For our last episode of season 3, we're sharing what we're thankful for! We sat down with the staff from St Matthew and asked them what they're thankful for and what they've learned about gratitude. Have a great Thanksgiving and we'll be back with season 4 in the new year!

This week, we look at how to use the book of Psalms in your prayers and devotions. It's a book of prayers and songs from Israel's worship life and it's quite different than a lot of other books from the Bible. We'll talk about how we use the Psalms and how you can too!

As we approach Thanksgiving, it's a time when we often reflect on the blessings that we have and how God has provided. And then we follow it with Christmas where we make our lists and buy all the things! As everyday disciples, how do we cultivate a life of contentment all year round and focus on what we have instead of what we don't?

Then in part two, we talk about a worship song that goes right with this topic: Elias Dummer's "Enough" (Listen to the song here.) It's a song that challenges our world's perception of success and points to Jesus as the one who is enough for us. "With nothing, I still have everything - Jesus you are enough for me."

Today on Everyday Disciples, we talk about what it means to parent with grace. Rather than being helicopter parents (who hover around and make sure everything goes right) or snowplow parents (who bulldoze every obstacle out of the way), how can we be parents who help their kids through difficult times rather than trying to eliminate those times altogether?

Then in the second half, we talk about what to do when we experience failure in our lives. We're all going to mess up in one way or another (i.e., sin) so what do we do in those moments? How do we own it and grow from it?

Today on Everyday Disciples, we talk first about the New Age Spirituality -- which isn't all that new anymore but pops up again and again in our world today.

Then in part two, we talk about Spiritual Warfare. What is it and how should Christians think about it? We'll dive into that and more!

In today's episode, we talk about getting to work! How should Christians think about their work and their faith? Is work the only way that we can serve God? We'll dive into the idea of "vocation" and see how freeing it can be!

Then, in the second part, we talk about what it means to be obedient and submissive as Christians. Those aren't values that our culture prizes but so much of the Bible's story is about submitting to God's plans and design.

This week on Everyday Disciples, we talk about building real, authentic community. We're in a world that's all about the artificial and crafting an image for yourself but deep down we crave real connections with people. We'll talk about some ways we can build that community.

Then, we look at Christian relationships with those outside the faith. We don't want to view our non-Christian friends as "projects" as if we're only friends so that we can get them into the church. But we also have good news that we want to share with them! We'll talk about that tension in part two.

Today on Everyday Disciples, we take a look at another worldview that's common in our world today: secular humanism. What happens when we remove God from the equation and try to make sense of the world around us without Him? You end up with secular humanism!

In the second part, we continue our walk through the Sermon on the Mount as we talk about some values of the Kingdom of God that Jesus lays out for us.

This week on Everyday Disciples, we take a look at a practice that doesn't get a lot of attention these days: fasting. Jesus talked about fasting as a way of trusting in God and it's a practice that many followers of Jesus have found to be beneficial to their walk. We'll explore the practice and talk about Jesus' teaching about it.

Then, we're looking at a religion you may never have heard of but one that you've undoubtedly been influenced by: Gnosticism. It's an old belief that was growing around the time Christianity was getting started and it's influenced it in many ways! We'll point out how it has influenced us even today and what God's Word says instead.

We're back for season three of Everyday Disciples and starting off with a difficult and timely topic: Responding to Roe vs. Wade. It's been a few weeks since the US Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade and we've all had some time to think about what that means. Sit down with Pastor Matthew, Lori, Stephanie, and Aidan as we talk about how Christians can respond and care for those who are facing unexpected pregnancies. It's a challenging topic but we hope you'll join us in the conversation.
