October 24, 2022 No. 22: Do You Know What You Believe?

If you don't know what the Bible says for yourself, everything you hear about it will sound like truth.

In this episode, we're talking about whether or not you know what you believe and why that is important.

We're not necessarily talking about your political, scientific, social, etc... beliefs (although these are definitely important). We're talking about your theological beliefs. What do you believe about God, Scripture, Jesus, salvation, etc...? Hopefully, a solid theological foundation will transcend and shape your beliefs on other things.

October 17, 2022 No. 21: How to Date Your Spouse

It can be easy to "date your spouse" when you are newlywed. But what happens when you and your spouse have been married for a few years, you have a newborn baby, and you are exhausted? You may not even be able to remember the last time you took a walk or had a deep conversation with your spouse. You're tired, the romance is not natural, and the deep conversations don't come effortlessly anymore.

This is likely a scenario that most married couples can empathize with. In this episode, we dig into 6 principles to keep in mind when trying to date your spouse!

August 22, 2022 No. 13: Approaching Health, Wellness, & Natural Living as a Believer
What's all the buzz around "nontoxic living"? Should being a Christian change our approach to exercise, sleep, food choices, and the types of products we fill our home with?

In this episode we get real about two different camps people in our communities often fall into: the camp that tends to not take as good of care of their physical health, and the camp that tends to hold their control of their physical health maybe a little too tightly.

As always, we get into what the Bible says, and practically flesh out how this should transform our lives.
