In a world where sex outside of marriage was expected for all men, the early Christian ethic of sex only between a husband and a wife was counter-cultural. The early disciples also saw sexuality as an equal gift and responsibility to both husbands and wives. The needs of women were never taken into consideration like this before. Early disciples saw sex, not just as a physical activity, but a spiritual one as well.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. I am your host, Nate, and I am so glad you are here.

In today's episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down and talk more about how we serve the lowly. We also answer questions that you have submitted.

If you haven't heard this past Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to stop here and listen to it, as it will help make this conversation more sense to you.

I hope you enjoy this conversation.

Everyone is willing to do for those who can do for them. But what set Christians apart from the very beginning, was their care for those who could not care for themselves. Building on the foundation laid in the Old Testament, the early Christians took seriously the call to take care of the poor and the marginalized and alien in their midst. And we are called to do the same.

Well hey, welcome to another episode of the Becoming Better Podcast here at QuadCity Christian Church.

I'm Josh, I'm the host for this episode. And today's episode Ken and Jason will be joining in and we will be discussing the topic of abortion.

So we've been in a series here as a church looking at the things that made the first Christians, the first followers of Jesus distinct. And one of the distinctives is that they were fiercely pro life.

And so, as always, if you haven't heard Sunday's Message we think you should do so, it will help bring a lot of clarity to answer the questions you have and make sense of the questions we ask moving forward.

Just a heads up, this is a longer episode, because this is a conversation with a lot of nuance to it, and so we just ask that you hang in there with us and hopefully find some good pieces for you to have conversations with your neighbors and friends.

And lastly, if you or someone you know has gone through with an abortion and made that choice, and the emotions or the pain are just as real as the day they made that decision, we here as a staff want to come alongside and help pastor and shepherd. You can email any of us here on staff, or you can call and speak directly to us at our church, all of our contact info is at Quadcity.Church

You do not have to go through this alone.

So without further ado, here's today's podcast.

In a world where children were literally thrown out with the trash and left to die or to be picked up and sold to slave traders or sex traffickers, it was the early Christians who would take in those kids to raise them as their own. Knowing that all humans were made in God's image meant that all life was worth saving.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. I'm your host, Nate, and I am so glad you are here. 

On today's episode, Jason Josh and I sit down and discuss last Sunday's message. We answer a few questions and dive into what made the church so different and how we are called to do the same. 

If you haven't heard Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to stop here, go back to one episode, and give it a listen. It will help make this conversation more meaningful to you.

Well, without further ado, we hope you enjoy this conversation. 

Slave and master, rich and poor, Jew and Gentile, and men and women, were all invited to be a part of the kingdom of God. The multi-racial, multi-ethnic, and economic diversity in the church was unmatched in its day. Everyone was welcome. Since all people are made in the image of God, all people are invited to be a part of the body of Christ.

Welcome to the Becoming Better Podcast. On this weeks episode Jason, Ken, and Nate sit down and talk through Joshes Message on Forgiveness. We dive in a little deeper on what that looks like for us as followers of Jesus.

We hope you enjoy this conversation.

As Christians, we often read and hear that we should forgive one another, but is there a limit to the amount of forgiveness that we should give? At what point is it okay to stop forgiving someone? The answer to these questions is a matter of life and death.

This week, we sit Down with Josh and Corey and dive into the Burdens that Corey Covered last Sunday. If you haven't listened to Sunday's message, I want to encourage you to go back and listen to that, as it will help make this conversation more sense to you. We hope you enjoy this conversation.
