Real For Life

In this episode of the Real for Life Podcast, Lance Wigton has a conversation with Real Life Lead Youth Pastor Heath Fagen and Lead Team Member Riley Couch. They give a close up look at the life of a Middle Schooler - their biggest strengths, the things they value, and how an older generation can connect with them. They also play a game of Stump the Boomer, where Lance tries to guess the meaning of some common terms from the Middle School demographic!

Sometimes people who visit Real Life Ministries walk away with the comment - "I think this church is too big". Communications Director Lance Wigton and Senior Pastor Jim Putman address this topic and talk about what the church actually is and what the Bible says it should look like.

Jim Putman is back from his summer break, and he is talking today with Lance Wigton about some of the things he learned in his time away. Their discussion includes the topic of how a disciple of Jesus should respond to the crises and situations that have arisen around us during this season. How do you view our country (America) and what role do you believe it plays in God's plan for believers? What part does patriotism play in your life, and how much do you depend on your dream and vision for what America should look like? This is an important discussion that comes at a time when America's leaders are making decisions and choices that could make us lose trust in "The American Dream."

The year 2020 has been a rollercoaster ride for most of us across America. From the Covid19 pandemic, to nationwide rioting in the streets, to UFO sightings and Killer Hornets, there have been many situations this year that have the potential to cause us to experience an emotional reaction or two. Jim Putman and Lance Wigton are back again to discuss how we, as disciples of Jesus, ought to be responding to the events going on around us, and how our response might effect others.   Some of the things they cover in this episode are: How are we filtering the things we listen to? How easily are our belief systems being challenged by the voices of the world? Are there people out there with an agenda that are promoting divisiveness or fear? If so how are we responding to that? Is it right for us to protest against something that is wrong? Take a step back and ask yourself, what would Jesus say is right here? How would he have me act?   "You can't protest injustice by creating more injustice" Jim Putman You can't protest injustice by creating more injustice #discipleshipClick To Tweet You can watch the sermon on the Holy Spirit (Cultivate) that is referred to in this podcast on YouTube at this link: https://bit.ly/Cultivate2  You might also be interested in the following posts:
