John has a conversation with Tom about what his life was like before Jesus, the amazing transformation came from following Jesus, and the way that God uses Tom, despite his difficult past. We hope this episode is as inspirational to you all as it is to us, and that it highlights for you the fact that God isn't intimidated by your past, or by your struggles with sin. He can (and wants to) use you for His glory, and your own fulfillment.

Something that often gets overlooked in the Church is our physical health. Mark 12:30 tells us to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. The Lord gave us bodies, and we are supposed to steward them well.

In this episode, Andrew talks to Brian Trainor, a naturopathic doctor who has dealt with his own physical health trials, and has learned to endure, and look to Jesus through them all.

You can connect with Brian on Instagram or at his website Trinity Naturopathic for an initial health consult. Use code "ITH" to get the 10% discount he mentions in this conversation.

Welcome back to our series on The Hard Sayings of Jesus. In this conversation, Andrew talks with Shelton Markham about the rich young ruler and the teaching of Jesus that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God. What is that all about? They take a deep dive into Mark 10.17-31 (see also Mt 19.23-26 and Lk 18.18-30) to flesh it out.

Join us for a conversation on what the Bible teaches about the dangers of wealth and how it should change the way we think and live today.
