Just when it seemed like Job had passed the test of his suffering, it was taken to a new level. His suffering went beyond the external circumstances of his wealth and family to the personal suffering in his own body. While those around him encouraged him to walk away from his faith, Job had a different perspective that is a helpful reminder for all of us when suffering comes our way.

Well, Hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. My name is Nate, and we are so glad that you are here.

On today’s episode Jason josh and I sit down and we talk about the book of Job and some of the things that we couldn’t get into this last Sunday. We also take some time to answer some of the questions that you submitted, and I wanted to take the time to thank everyone who engages with this. And I want to encourage everyone as we go through this to submit any questions you may have. 

If you missed last Sunday's message, I want you to stop here and listen to it or watch it on our YouTube or website.

We hope you enjoy this episode

Throughout the story of Job, we are given access not only to what is going on in the earthly realm, we are also given behind the scenes access to what is going on in the heavenly realms regarding Job’s suffering. In this first chapter we see Job endure some of the greatest of all suffering and respond to it in the most unexpected way...

One of the things that we often do whenever reading an account of the events in scripture is to imagine ourselves in the story. Looking for someone in the text that represents us, we can find someone that we can see ourselves in. However, if you are looking for yourself in the Easter story, you don’t have to look any further than Barabbas.

Well, Hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. I am your host, Brendan Krismer, and we are so glad that you are here. As some of you guys have noticed, this week's episode is coming to you a few days late. The reason for that is that on Monday morning, Jason, Josh, and I sat down and recorded the podcast. We spent about an hour and twenty minutes doing so and had a great conversation to realize at the very end that the file on which we recorded all of the audio was corrupted. So it sounded really, really bad. So we wanted to make sure that we circled back today and rerecorded this conversation because we had a lot of great questions that we wanted to make sure that we answered. So we apologize for the delay. We hope that you enjoy this episode.

All of us wonder at times if our prayers do any good. James is convinced that the heart of God can be moved by the prayers of faithful people. Sick people can actually be made well, sinners can be forgiven, and prayer with confession can result in healing. The same God who answered Elijah’s prayer is eager to answer ours.

Well, hey, and welcome to the Becoming Better podcast. My name is Nate, and I will be your host. On today’s episode, Jason, Josh, and I sit down, and talk a little bit about our spring break trips. And we dive into this past sermon and chat about suffering and how we shouldn’t go through it alone. We also take some time to pray over the church as a whole. If you haven’t listened to Sunday's message, then I want to encourage you to stop here and listen to that as it will help make this conversation make more sense. I also want to take some time today and personally invite you to join us for easter. We have eight service times that we would love for you to join us in. We have five in Prescott on Saturday. Those are 3:00 pm and 4:30 pm, and then three on Sunday 8,9:30, and 11 am. We also have three at our Prescott Valley campus, one on Saturday at 4:30. And two on Sunday at 9:30 and 11. We also have a Good Friday service at our Prescott Valley Campus. If you want to join us, please register online, as spots are limited.

Life is hard, especially if you are trying to live for Jesus. Paul made it clear to the people he pastored, “We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.” James calls us to be patient, because the coming of the Lord is near. However, it's not just about being patient, it's about perseverance, because there is no salvation without perseverance.

Well, hey, and welcome to another episode of the Becoming Better Podcast. I'm your host, Brendan Krismer, and we are so glad that you are here. Well, on today's episode, Jason Josh and I sit down, and we discuss saving money, how to know when your savings account becomes a hoarding account, and the hope that we have living a generous life. We hope that you enjoy this episode today.

James has some very severe words of warning for wealthy people (like us). He is especially harsh with those who have wealth they have hoarded. The questions for us are: How do you know you have enough? When does wise saving become excessive? What should we do to make sure the warnings of James don’t come to pass for us?
