Join hosts Jake Silvera and Luke and Janelle Heirendt as we dive into our final discussion on the seven deadly sins.

Welcome to Practically Christian! In this episode we take everyone's favorite subject, food, and heap a pile of shame on it. Just kidding! In reality, exploring the sin of gluttony should not lead to shame about food, but a desire to enjoy food the way God intended: with joy, but not overindulgence. Join hosts Luke Heirendt, Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera as we dive into this important topic.

Join hosts Luke and Janelle Heirendt and Janelle Heirendt as return to a conversation about the seven deadly sins. In today's episode we discuss the sin of sloth, signs that it is affecting you, and how to begin working to overcome it.

In this final session of our I.Q. Church Class on theology, Jake and Luke explore the profound roles of the Holy Spirit and the Church, often referred to as the Bride of Christ. In this class, we dive into the Holy Spirit's crucial functions in our spiritual lives, including regeneration, conviction, advocacy, teaching, guidance, sanctification, comfort, and empowerment. Learn about the biblical terms 'ruach' and 'pneuma' that highlight the Spirit's life-giving nature. Discover the Church's role as the Body and Temple of Christ, emphasizing unity, discipleship, and worship. Understand the significance of key ordinances like baptism and communion, which symbolize our new life in Christ and His sacrifice. Reflect on how to live by the Spirit, use spiritual gifts to serve the Church, and grow in your faith journey.

Welcome to Class 3 of the "Foundations of Theology" I.Q. Church series taught by Luke and Jake! We're taking a break from our normally scheduled podcast series to bring you this teaching.

In this session, we dive deep into two essential aspects of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the gift of salvation He brings. We explore how Jesus, being both fully God and fully human, is central to understanding the gospel and our relationship with God. Additionally, we unpack the multi-faceted nature of salvation and its transformative power in the believer's life.

In this episode Luke and Jake continue teaching the "Foundations of Theology" I.Q. Church series for Creekside Community Church. In this session, we explore two foundational truths: God as the Creator and the corruption of creation through sin. We dig into the distinct role of God the Father in creation, His sovereignty, and His ongoing work in the world. Then, we discuss how sin has corrupted both the world and humanity, and how spiritual evil entices us away from God.

For the next month, we're taking a break from our current series to bring you the Foundations of the Christian Faith.

This is a series of classes taught at Creekside Community Church by Luke and Jake. Welcome to Class #1! In this session, we dive into the fundamentals of theology—what it is, why it matters, and how it shapes our understanding of God and our lives. We also jump into the subject of the Trinity, exploring in what way God is one, and how He is three (and how that is not a contradiction).

One final note: We use a lot of visuals in this presentation, so we encourage you to watch on youtube or anchor.fm (video IS available for this podcast!)
