This week we were honored to have on Jacob Bonus who is currently attending the Ohio State University. Jacob is an excellent reflection of patience in a world that always feels like it is moving a million miles per hour. We go through and discuss the importance of patience in everyday life with faith and outside of faith as well.

Mr. Larlham joins us this week discussing his favorite bible verse of John 3:30 and why it means so much to him. This podcast has so much to cover such as why being a Christian makes sense, how to deal with hard times in life, and most importantly how the focus is on Jesus and not on ourselves.

Proverbs 4:5-9 "Get wisdom, get understanding: Forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: Love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: And with all thy getting get understanding"

Proverbs 3:14-18 "For wisdom is more profitable than silver, and her wages are better than gold. Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. She offers you long life in her right hand, and riches and honor in her left. She will guide you down delightful paths; all her ways are satisfying. Wisdom is a tree of life to those who embrace her; happy are those who hold her tightly."

This week was beautiful as we discussed the very broad topic of seeing God's love. Throughout this conversation there are many unique perspectives taken and wisdom shared. The basis of Christianity and Jesus' whole mission was love. That is why He did what He did on the cross for us. Exploring this love and recognizing it is a skill in its own but so powerful when acted upon.

1 Corinthians 10:31 - "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

Christ in Athletics is so crucial to many young lives. It is the first taste of trial and sets us up for how to deal with the real world when you are older. Same way in faith, athletics can be used as an opportunity to grow closer to God or further. Our special guest, Andy, this week is exemplary in being a leader in his athletics but more importantly his faith.

This week we talk about God in Disguise and what the really means. As you watch or listen to this episode, you will quickly realize that Jesus was a perfect example of this. He lived a quiet life for many many years while being the son of God, but when God called on Him that's when Jesus stepped up and started to be vocal. God in Disguise can also mean seeing God through things or people that you don't recognize at first.

2 Corinthians 5:20 - "Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God." The focus this week is living in such a way that our lives clearly reflect Christ. It is so easy to fall into focusing about everything else in life and losing sight of who we truly represent when we talk, act, and even our attitude. It is by no means easy, but the Bible tells us how we should live and why.

This week in discussing vulnerability we discovered a lot of new perspectives. Finding what 'being vulnerable' in faith means is crucial and different from just being open. In our opinion, this was the best podcast we've had yet. We really recommend taking the time to listen to the whole thing and opening up your heart to this conversation.

A perfect reflection of this week's topic is in 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 - " But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

This week we are honored to be joined by our school's principal to talk about faith and what it really means. We provide different perspectives from different powerful experiences in our lives that represent "moments of faith". First, what is the Bible's definition of faith? Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." If you don't understand what faith truly means or how to put it into your life, hopefully this week will help with that.
