On this episode, we look at the idea of ‘danger zones.’

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!

#GoDeeper

This week Steven kicks off GoDeeper with a passage of Scripture from Mark, chapter 8 where Jesus commands us to take up our cross and follow Him.

He goes on to point out that if you keep certain everyday objects like a car or smart watch hidden away, out of danger, you defeat their purposes. That’s exactly what the servant with one talent did in the parable of the talents.

The apostle Paul practically lived in the “danger zone,” he was the prime example of what Steven and Nathan are talking about this week. However, Paul followed the Holy Spirit’s prompting into the “danger zone.”

Steven relates how his speaking to the camera was him stepping into the danger zone – figuratively speaking. And finally, he challenges us to step out of our comfort zones into the danger zone as and when God leads us to.

#GoDo

For the final segment, Nathan asks Steven some questions about his GoDeeper talk:

1. Were you suggesting it is more natural for Christians to be in the danger zone?
2. It states in Hebrews that without faith we cannot please God. Ergo, stepping out in faith, or into the ‘danger zone,’ is what pleases God, is it not?
3. You said that we need to take up our Cross. Could you clarify what you mean by a ‘cross’?
4. What colour is your T-shirt?

Check out this week’s episode to find out how Steven answered these questions.

On this episode, we look at the idea of being a spiritual ‘all-rounder’.

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!

#GoDeeper

In this week’s GoDeeper Steven kicks off by pointing out that just as we need to work on all the different aspects of fitness, we also need to work on all the different aspects of the Christian faith, not just the ones that look good in church.

One of this week’s passages of Scripture from 1 Corinthians talks about spiritual giftings. Steven explains that there is a difference between skills and giftings with a simple example.

The fruit of the Spirit gets a mention as Steven highlights the fact that you can’t have one of the nine parts of the fruit of the Spirit without the other eight.

He challenges us to practice all the different Christian disciplines such as reading the Bible, praying, giving, and listening to God, not just the ones we find easier or that look good.

#GoDo

For the final segment, Nathan asks Steven some difficult questions about his GoDeeper:

1. How are you? (Can he avoid saying “I’m fine”?)
2. Which areas of our lives do look good in church?
3. It talked about spiritual gifts in one of the Scriptures you read. Which one do you think is the most important?
4. Balance seems to be the key word of your talk. Would you agree?

On this, the first episode of Season 5, we talk about how we use the phrase “I’m fine.”

We had a short break, but we’re back with a newly refined season of Endurance.

Endurance is your weekly spiritual workout, whether you think of yourself as a beginner, an intermediate, or advanced!

#GoDeeper

Steven begins his first ever GoDeeper by stating the rather obvious fact, that saying you are fine when you are not, is lying.

He goes on to unpack Colossians 3:9, which commands us not to lie to one another (other Christians).

He points out that when one lies about being fine, it is not helpful, because how can anyone help if no one knows that something is wrong.

#GoDo

For GoDo, Nathan asks Steven four questions regarding his #GoDeeper talk.

How important is it really to be honest?

1. When we say “I’m fine” without thinking, could that be partly the result of habit?
2. Why might we be dishonest when others ask us how we are doing?
3. What did you have for lunch on Friday?

Check out this week’s episode to find out Steven’s answers to these deep questions.
