May 15, 2023 No. 51: Why You Should Study Theology as an Everyday Christian
You're not going into full-time ministry. You're not trying to be a pastor, a full-time missionary, a Bible teacher, or anything in that realm. Why would you need to study theology? Isn't that just for the academic Christians to understand so they can write sermons and podcasts that are easier for us everyday Christians to understand?

We're talking about it in this episode. Because the reality is, every follower of Christ is called to be a theologian, to know God deeply. Every single one of us must know what we believe, now more than ever when all kinds of (seemingly compelling) theologies are available right at our fingertips.

April 24, 2023 No. 48: 8 Biblical Principles for Christians and Politics
In today's world where political and social issues are constantly full of tension, and often outrage, we must ask ourselves the question: How does my identity as a follower of Christ impact the lens through which I view politics?

We know that as Christians, we are called to live and engage in this world without becoming of it. We know that while we are citizens of our countries, our first and ultimate allegiance is to Christ and growing His Kingdom. Being a Christian doesn't mean we're a republican any more than being a Christian means we're a democrat. We're called to submit to and pray for our governing authorities, regardless of where they lie on the political spectrum. And ultimately, the demeanor we as Christians take when engaging in politics should exemplify Christ.

In this episode we chat all about politics through a biblical worldview, focusing on eight principles you as a Christian should consider regarding your engagement in the political realm.

April 10, 2023 No. 46: How to be Humble ft. Jake Hatfield

"If an addict is talking about freedom from addiction, in my mind, humility is my journey away from an egotistical, "I am the center of my universe" mindset. I am a recovering "egotistian" (is that a word?). This conversation is not coming from a place of arrival, but a continuous journey." -Jake Hatfield

Living with humility is merely to recognize and live in reality. Anything that we pursue (money, fame, etc...) will come to an end. Humility is living in the reality that we are not in charge.

March 27, 2023 No. 44: How We've Gotten Discipleship Wrong (Part 1)
As the American Church, we've often come to view discipleship as a meeting with someone for an hour a week at a coffee shop, sitting, studying the Bible, and praying. While there is certainly nothing wrong with this, if this is all we view discipleship as, we're missing out.

In this episode (part 1 of 2), we're chatting all about where we tend to miss the mark. Next week we'll be talking all about what discipleship should look like.

March 20, 2023 No. 43: Should You Give Money to Strangers on the Street?
In this episode, we're talking about a hotly debated question- should you give to people who beg for money?

This question was posed in one Nathaniel's classes (Ethics of Wealth and Poverty) for an assignment.

When you are walking on the street or driving in your car, and you see someone asking for money, should you give it to them?

Everyone has faced a scenario similar to this. Unless you live off the grid, in which case you probably aren't actually reading this. This is a question Christians NEED to wrestle with and need to be prepared for.

Failing to plan is planning to fail. If we don't know how we biblically and personally want to approach these kinds of situations we will default to either not giving money or giving a little bit of change but wondering if we're doing the right thing.

March 13, 2023 No. 42: Speaking in Tongues: What Does the Bible Say?
Today we're doing a deep dive into what can be a hot topic in the Church: speaking in tongues. Tongues is clearly described as a spiritual gift in Scripture, but there is much debate over whether it has ceased, whether it's required for pastors/elders, whether it's the true mark of a Believer, etc.

In this episode we break down what the Bible says about speaking in tongues, and how we believe those references should be interpreted.
