One definition of Moral Injury used in the military is “feeling traumatized for doing the right thing, when under normal criteria or conditions it would be wrong.” If God abides in this awful reality, there is both hope and forgiveness available to the those stricken with a moral injury. By this we mean that grace can overcome the trauma through a narrative of solidarity and compassion. Join us today as we discuss with Chaplain Larry Brant where Moral Injury is expressed in the Bible and where we can see God's approach to helping those that are struggling with this painful reality.

Join us as we discuss with our teacher Ryan Brown the importance of Forgiveness.

We like to speak of God's love, but rarely do we speak of His Holiness and Justice.
Treatment: Treat others as you want to be treated - Matthew 7:12
Judgment: The same measure you judge will be returned to you - Matthew 7:2
Mercy: Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy - Matthew 5:7
Justice: Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth, mercy for mercy, grace for grace - Matthew 5:38

Remember, if there is no judgement, there is no need for salvation. If there is no need for salvation there is no need for a savior.

This week we discuss with our teacher Ryan Brown, the sermon Jesus gives about how a church should conduct itself, train those who serve, chase those who stray, and address those who are unfaithful. The message Jesus gives is in response to a unique question poised by his disciples: "Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

This week we discuss with our teacher Ryan Brown the story of the Jewish man who suffered  an affliction for 38 years and was now looking for healing from a pagan god at the pool called Bethesda.

We will meet many in our lives who we do not agree with but they are desperately in need and seeking relief. Do you elevate your position on the subject over being the help that they need? And if our goal is to magnify and emulate Christ in our life, the better question is how does Jesus respond to people in need and their situations…
Join us as we discuss how Jesus puts people over position.

This week we begin our series on parables with our teacher Ryan Brown and answer the question: Why does the Kingdom of Heaven often seem so underwhelming?

Take a moment and think about the parables of Jesus you've learned over your spiritual journey. Have you considered the cultural context and history around why Jesus chose to use those  specific examples in the parables he gives in his teachings? Have you wondered why Jesus often chooses to answer a question or convey a point with a story instead of answering it clearly? Over the next few weeks we will deep dive into some of Jesus' most notable parables!

This week we discuss with our teacher Ryan Brown how Jacob struggled on his journey to becoming Israel, "the one who God conquered". 

Last episode we showed how Jacob wrestled with his faith and was ultimately conquered by God. Well, what now? After a fight like that something is bound to change about you. When we have been conquered by God we are called to turn away from how we've been living our lives and instead pursue Jesus Christ. But what does that actually look like?

This week we will deep dive with our teacher Ryan Brown a concept that all of us will struggle with in our spiritual journey.
 
As you follow Christ you will wrestle with his word. If you haven’t felt this frustration and conviction yet, you will. This week we'll discuss how Jacob wrestled with God. His fight was similar to how we also wrestle with God and our faith. Ultimately, God conquered Jacob just as God has conquered us. We either surrender to God or God conquers us. If God does not conquer you then you will ultimately be conquered by sin and death. This is why God ultimately changes Jacob's name to Israel meaning: "God Rules" or "God Conquers".

We often don't think about how our sins bear witness to others. We rarely think that what we do influences the actions of those closest to us. There is a concept of generational sin that goes beyond just Original Sin. Sin is not inherited, but it is learned and adopted. Join us as we look at how Abraham's actions and sin influenced his son Isaac, and how Isaac's actions and sin in-turn influenced his son Jacob.

Teacher: Ryan Brown

What is the definition of Adultery? Did you know the definition of adultery according to United States Law is different than the definition according to God's Law in the Bible? This is a convicting message that I hope causes you to reflect on yourself because this is something so many of us struggle with. Join us as we discuss God's Law not just regarding adultery, but also the danger of bearing a false witness and the punishment for carrying out an illegal trial according to God's Law.

Teacher: Ryan Brown

Have you read the prayer of Jonah? He is crying out, thanking God for his grace and mercy for saving him. But he's crying out and praying this prayer from the belly of the fish... Why would he be thanking God for his grace and mercy from the belly of the fish? What was Jonah saved from? This one is absolutely eye opening and thought provoking. Join us as we deep dive the life of the prophet Jonah.
