Gospel Chats

The Apostle Paul used the phrase “in Christ” over 150 times in his letters to members of the church. In this chat we discuss what it really means to live life “in Christ” and what changes when we do. 

What can we learn about Jesus Christ from the title “Author and Finisher of our Faith”? In this episode we chat about different definitions of “author”, what it means to “rely alone” on the merits of Christ, and more. 

Perhaps the greatest symbol of Jesus Christ’s Atonement, love and grace is a hug. In this episode we chat about the powerful doctrine behind the image of the Divine Embrace. 

People, including God’s covenant people, can easily become so immersed in their surrounding culture that they might not even realize how it is affecting their thoughts and behaviors. In this episode we wrestle with identifying the “sins of our generation” and how to be made clean from those sins by embracing God’s culture. 

The scriptures clearly emphasize our need for “a mighty change of heart,” but they also highlight the Savior’s power to grant us “a mighty change of mind.” In this episode we explore the concept of developing the mind of Christ; what that means, how we do it, and what changes when we do. 

Throughout scripture Jesus is referred to as “The Lord of Hosts”. In this episode we chat about heavenly hosts, mortal hosts, becoming one of His soldiers, and more. 

Jesus said He was The Truth. In this episode we wrestle with the concept of Truth being a Person not a thing or idea. What changes when we view Truth as something dynamic that loves, adapts and understands? 

In John 10, Jesus describes Himself as both the Good Shepherd and The Door. In this episode we chat about both of those titles, how they are two sides of the same coin, and how understanding Jesus as “The Door” can strengthen our faith. 

One of the titles of Jesus Christ is “the rock”, but the scriptures actually describe Him as several different types of rock. In this episode we probe four of the rocks and what they can teach us about His Atonement and how we come unto Him. 

It wouldn’t be hard to think that the church is meant for extroverts, and that introverts need to change, but that would be a huge mistake. In this episode we chat about making space for all personalities and focusing more on Christ-like character as the goal.
