Let’s be real. Sometimes sin is just more appealing or attractive than Jesus. Why is that? And what are we to do when faced with a situation like this? Tim and Tyler discuss these questions, both from the perspective of a believer, and from the perspective of one who is struggling to make the life changing commitment to Jesus.

A lot of times we know the right answers but are unsure how those answers should apply to daily life. In this episode we talk about some ways the Gospel should be practically evident in the day to day life of a student. Not only a student though, the question of living the Gospel is something we all have to wrestle with and figure out how to do it in a way that brings honor to Jesus.

As a bonus question, we had a live audience this week and were asked if it was possible to love someone without liking them. Check out the episode to see how we answered!!

We are officially twenty episodes into our podcasting journey and we have loved every minute of it. In this episode we give a shout out to the 50 countries that have listened over the past couple months, AND we enjoy something that has not happened in any of the previous 19... a studio audience. On top of that we talk through our disgust of handkerchiefs, our perplexity at TSA regulations, and our frustration at those who harmonize when singing happy birthday. Oh, and we talk about church marques signs, phrases Christians probably shouldn't use, and the worlds longest birthday cake. We packed a lot in so give it a listen!!

In this episode Tim and Tyler discuss more verses that are often used out of context. We all know them; we all probably use them, but as followers of Christ we have a responsibility to properly read and speak of God's word. In Ephesians 6 we are told that God's word is our only offensive weapon against the devil, but scripture taken out of context is not only a weak weapon, but can also paint an inaccurate picture of Christ to an unbelieving world.

Scripture is essential in the life of a believer. Scripture taken out of context though can be used to justify most anything, even things that clearly do not line up with the rest of God’s word. In this episode we run through some of these verses and talk about ways in which they are taken out of context, along with giving the full context and a brief meaning of the passages. We also introduce a new game where we try to determine if a news story is from Mississippi or the Onion... just for fun.

One of the hardest doctrines to understand in all of scripture is the doctrine of predestination, or election. In this episode we jump into that discussion, though in full transparency even we do not fully understand it. The one thing we do fully understand is that salvation is a gift from God and whether you believe in predestination or not that fact doesn't change. Salvation is only possible because of Jesus, his sacrificial death on the cross and resurrection to new life. Unless we get that piece right, everything else is wrong.

One of the hardest questions in the Christian life is why does God allow trials and temptations. Actually the question is easy; it’s the answer that is hard. We see things from our limited human perspective, and through that lens it sometimes appears as if God doesn’t really care about us, or even that God isn’t truly good. How do we deal with this question, and how should our answer affect how we live?

Let’s be honest; Life is hard. More specifically, life is really hard for teenagers. How does one in that season stay consistent as a follower of Christ, especially with all of the distractions that come with it? In this episode we talk about some of the challenges of being a Christian teenager, and explore what a genuine relationship with God really means.

The topic all students want to hear about is sex. So we talk about it. Unlike most platforms that broach this subject however, we do not talk about the do's and don'ts. Rather, we talk about the reason behind the "rules" and how we can honor Christ in this area. We also talk about how we should respond in the event of a broken relationship; be it a romantic break-up, or any other relational split.

Life would be a whole lot easier without having to deal with other people. But then again, most things are easier when you can just take care of it by yourself. The reality though is that we can’t live under a rock for very long, and we have to be in relationships with those around us. In fact, the very reason we were created is to be in a relationship. Our earthly relationships, easy or difficult, are meant to picture the relationship between God and man. In this episode we talk about how to navigate some of the more difficult aspects of being in relationship with other people, specifically when they hurt us.
