GSM Life Podcast

In this episode we discuss why and how we can fear the Lord rather than fearing man. Every person faces the battle of valuing how the Lord views us versus how people view us. We all have an innate desire for approval and acceptance. This can lead us to acting and speaking in a way so that people will approve of us instead of acting and speaking in such a way that God will approve of us. Our goal with this episode is to define what it means to fear the Lord, why it is difficult to fear the Lord, and some practical ways we can begin to shift how we live to please God rather than man. 

In this episode we tackle the tricky topic of modesty. What does it mean to be modest? What does the Bible have to say about the way we present ourselves, including the way we dress? We offer what we pray is a helpful starting point for this discussion. 

On this episode we reintroduce the podcast and why we do it. We also talk about what worldview means and some basics on a Biblical worldview. We also give a preview for what you can expect for structure and topics for future episodes! 

In this episode we break down some trends we see in how people think about men and women. We lay out some basic ideas from the Bible about how men and women should live and act. This episode is a little of this and a little of that so there is probably something for everyone! 

In this special episode of the podcast we had some guests join us! Many of our juniors and seniors were over for the night and we decided to record a live episode of the podcast where they could interact with us and ask questions. We discuss how we can know what God's will is for our individual lives. We tackle this topic with scripture and share out personal experiences with discerning where God is leading us and what he wants for us. We hope this is helpful and formative!

In this episode we had some fun cold calling students and asking them to ask us questions about dating, romance, and marriage. You all had great questions and this was one of the most fun episodes to record. We hope you enjoy! 

On this episode we finally get into the process and best practices for dating. We talk about how to think with the end in mind, boundaries (physical, spiritual, and emotional), and mistakes Christians make when dating. 

On this episode we continue our conversation about dating as Christians. On this episode we do our best to answer the question, when am I ready to date? How old should you be? What should your relationship with the Lord be like? What do other people think about if I'm ready to date? 

On this episode of the podcast we discuss some basics that Christians should know about dating. This is the first of four episodes on this topic that will be released over the next month. Stay tuned for more! 

You don't want to miss this one! In our longest episode yet we discuss something that has come to dominate many of our lives - social media. We share our own experiences with these platforms and why we do or do not use them. We answer questions like, "should Christians use social media?" "How should a Christian use social media?" "What are the downsides and pitfalls of using social media?" "Who should a Christian follow and not follow?" We hope and pray this episode helps you be thoughtful about this topic in your own life and walk with Christ!
