  • Giving to God When I Can't Afford Groceries

    "Affordability".

    It's a word all over the place these days, especially with an election coming up. For some folks it's just a word to capture their attention for a news story. For many others, it's a reminder of how hard it can be these days to make ends meet.

    So what do we do when our heart's desire is to give to God's work but we're finding it harder and harder to do that? And even if we're doing "OK" financially, what does God say about the kind of giving that honors Him the most?

    Join Doug, Brad and Jesse as they talk about the pain of Walmart grocery bills, quietly crying as they look at the price for a gallon of gas, and diving into a plan for giving when you can't even afford groceries.

  • The Loneliness Epidemic: Being a Go-To for Students

    Loneliness among student-age young people in our world has become an epidemic. A dangerous, even deadly one. 

    According to the World Health Organization, student-age young people are by far "the loneliest demographic worldwide". They're feeling more lonely, isolated, and without hope for help than ever.

    All kids feel lonely, right? Is it really a big deal? Recent studies confirm that "chronic loneliness among young adults is a severe public health crisis that significantly elevates the risk of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, and physical ailments comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day."

    There are many young people in many of our lives - our kids, grandkids, students we teach or coach, students in our churches and youth groups, maybe even a neighbor that mows the lawn.

    So what is an ambassador of Christ to do? Here's some hopeful news: these same studies report that "A caring and involved adult can save a young person's life by interrupting the dangerous cycle of the modern loneliness epidemic." 

    So in this episode, we dig into what’s driving the loneliness epidemic, from social media habits and nonstop comparison to pressure at school, conflict at home, and the lingering impact of COVID-era isolation. We also talk about why it’s a mistake to assume there’s one simple cause or one simple fix. Students need more than advice. They need a trustworthy adult who can step into their world without judgment and stay there long enough to matter.

    To make it practical, we walk through an easy framework based on John 10:10: L.I.F.E. You don't want to miss it!

  • Sharing Jesus In Hard Places and Scary Situations

    We've all been there. We know we should share the Gospel with someone we know but they seem totally not interested. Or they're kind of intimidating. Or, if we're being honest, we're just plain ol' scared of rejection or that we won't say the right thing or have all the answers.


    Join Doug, Brad, and special guest, "On Eagles Wings" leader and veteran Sabin Miguel as they uncover the most important parts of sharing your faith in hard places and situations. You won't find many better ways to spend half an hour as the guys land incredibly valuable insights and practical steps to share the hope of Christ in the toughest of situations.
