New Mercies I See: The Podcast

As we continue our series on Christian freedoms, next up, we’re talking about alcohol. Often a taboo topic, today, we aim to provide a biblically healthy discussion on alcohol, how those that exercise their Christian freedom to consume it should do so, and how we should honor our Christian brothers and sisters that choose to abstain. All this and more, in a new episode of the podcast.

The Christian faith comes with many cultures and preferences and as a result, also comes with many differing denominations and convictions. But different doesn’t necessarily mean sinful. In fact, our differences allow us to build the kingdom in a more robust way. On what foundation do we base what we should agree on as believers and what we have the freedom to differ on? More importantly, what does disagreeing with the body look like in real time? All this and more, in a new episode of the podcast.

Marriage is a beautiful picture of Christ and his bride the church. With that picture in mind, it’s healthy and wise to want to make our marriages the best they can be, where both parties serve, love and honor each other well. But what are the dangers of taking instruction from social media and how should we approach marriage in real time, when the camera isn’t on and there is no audience but God? All this and more, on a new episode of the podcast.

It’s easy to be positive when things are well, positive. It’s harder to show kindness, joy and long suffering when you’re directly experiencing adversity. How do we not grow weary in doing good? When God has us placed in a hard season and hasn’t called the season to end just yet, how do we endure in the meantime? All this and more in a new podcast.

We are called to be in the world, but not of it. But in a world that constantly pulls on the strings of our emotions, desires and vices, what does this look like practically? How do we remain physically present in the world, but not consumed by it? All this and more, in a new episode of the podcast.

Forgiveness is for you and not them. Is it? Maybe. On one hand it is, as forgiveness is something that we do because we submit to God and understand that he forgives us daily so we forgive so that we don’t hold on to things. But is there another step to take? Why do we stop there? As we represent Christ, his grace and mercy…forgiveness actually is for the other person too. Today we’re talking about forgiveness, reconciliation and the pride that prevents us from doing both. A new episode starts now.

After taking a step back to put God first, Rochelle returns — refreshed and with a renewed sense of purpose. In this video, Rochelle shares what the break taught her, how her faith deepened, and what’s next for the podcast. Thank you for sticking with us on this journey!

Anna Deavere Smith once said: "Friendship is a wildly underrated medication." It’s medication can fix the most broken of them all, and refusing it can make wounds heal much slower. Ultimately this is God’s sweet gift to us on what an earthly depiction of Christ on earth is, so we need to choose our friendships wisely. How do we go about choosing our friends? All this and more, a new episode of the podcast starts now.

With our community and culture being exposed to new artists, speakers and preachers, it’s cool to be a Christian again. With new converts being added to the kingdom and seasoned saints rededicating their lives, how do we build endurance as it pertains to our faith? What does it look like to choose interdependence over individualism? What is discipleship and what does it look like? Rochelle talks about this and more in today's episode.

Conflict is natural and apologies are necessary. But they aren't the end and they aren't accountability. Listen as Sam and Ro discuss.
