Inspired by the trust that God required of Abraham in Genesis 17, the podcast posse talks about trust, and distrust, in this week's episode. Trust issues can also arise in the church itself, so a discussion of how to open a dialogue with those struggling with church hurt is also on the table. Here we go!

We are about to embark on some discussions about people regarded as heroes of the Christian faith.  First up is Noah!  Noah was tasked with a monumental undertaking in building the ark, and we often spend a lot of time talking about that and the flood.  However, scripture gives us one little nugget of information that "Noah walked with God." So, we take a different angle today, looking at what that meant in light of his example to his family (amongst the sin and corruption of the day), and how it prepared and readied him for what God would ask Him to do.  What are we doing that is formative in our lives that we, like Noah, also walk with God?

What does truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and the word of God have in common? Tune in to find out, because this week we're looking at spiritual warfare and the armor of God as we conclude our time in Ephesians.

This week we're talking about relationships! Ephesians 5 contains so much information on how we are to walk in love with one another, which is an easy pill to swallow for most people, but then comes the passages on submitting and obeying which can end up creating a lot of tension in today's culture. Do we have a biblical understanding of these commands? Listen along, and let's unpack Ephesians 5 together!

This week we are back in Ephesians 4 to see what scripture says about following the world versus following Jesus. We also get into topics of anger, emotions in general, evangelism, and more! We also ran into some trouble identifying the species of our new children's message mascot, Andy, so could you please help us out and weigh in? 

Gossip hurts. Infighting within your local church and also the church at large is a painful reality. How do we find unity and conflict resolution in the midst of such division? Let's look at Ephesians 4:1-16 to find out.

This week's podcast gets into Ephesians 3:4-21. We start with a discussion about the interplay of Jews and Gentiles and then we get into worship styles, prayer posture, and the phrase "through the church". There might even be a quick Little Jimmy reference if you pay close enough attention. After a thorough discussion of cough drops, we even delve into Australian accent lessons. Yes, you read that last sentence right. Have a g'day mates!

When the ladies are away, the dudes come out to play. Big thanks to Pastor Jared and Pastor Tim for filling the roles of some of our out of commission regulars. We banded together like brothers to break down the sobering truth of how Ephesians describes being separated from God, as well as the hope of how the gospel brings us back into unity with one other and with Christ. Thanks for listening!

Greetings! Our podcast team is back and we're going deep into Ephesians chapter 2. This is a theologically dense section of scripture which discusses the interplay of grace, faith, and works. The discussion also offshoots into misconceptions about heaven, how the Holy Spirit works, and somehow spoons. Enjoy!

This week our podcast crew examines the first section of Ephesians which leads to a lot of tough questions about why some people receive salvation when others don't. If that sounds too heavy for you, don't worry. We're prone to get off topic and this week is no different. We also scatter in some talk about the Olympics, favorite grade school subjects, and even breakdancing. We hope you find value in this week's episode, and as always, thanks for listening!
