Redefined

In Episode 17 of Redefined, we tackle the challenging yet essential topic of forgiveness. We begin by exploring the true meaning of forgiveness—releasing the offender to God and choosing not to seek personal vengeance. Forgiveness is not just about the other person; it’s about breaking the chains of bondage that holding grudges can create in our lives.

Through this conversation, we highlight the ultimate example of forgiveness found in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We’ve been forgiven of so much, and in light of that, forgiveness becomes an act of obedience and trust in God’s sovereignty over every situation.

We close with a challenge: Who is God asking you to forgive today? Let’s be obedient to God’s call, praying for those who have hurt us and extending His grace in every relationship.

In Episode 15 of Redefined, we explore the topic of generosity versus greed through the lens of a kingdom mindset. Everything we have has been given to us by God, not for our own gain, but to use for His glory. As Christians, we are called to reflect the generosity of Jesus, who displayed the ultimate act of giving through His sacrifice for our salvation.

While generosity is often emphasized during the holiday season, we discuss how believers are called to live generously year-round, not just during one season. The holidays also bring expectations of gifts and personal gain, but we challenge ourselves to shift our focus from self to the true meaning of this time of year—the generosity of God in sending His Son into the world.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation that will inspire you to embrace a spirit of generosity in every season of life.

In Episode 14 of Redefined, we address the challenging topic of pornography and why it’s such a big deal. We begin by defining what pornography can look like, from an internet search to a scene in a TV show. We explore the physical, mental, and relational impact it has on individuals. Though this topic may feel uncomfortable, we recognize it's a very real struggle for many. We close the episode with practical steps and resources for finding freedom. We discuss how walking in the flesh leads to death, but a mind set on the Spirit leads to life. No sin, including pornography, has to have power over your life—there is hope and healing through Jesus. Tune in for an honest and redemptive conversation.

In Episode 13 of Redefined, we dive into the question: How does a believer truly change? One of the most common misconceptions in the faith is that once you're saved, all struggles with sin disappear. We challenge this idea with scripture, showing that becoming a believer means entering a battle between the flesh and the Spirit. While the flesh remains, the Spirit gives us the desire and strength to fight against sin. We share practical examples and personal experiences in our own journeys of battling sin daily. As always, we bring it back to the gospel, highlighting how a deep understanding of the gospel and the seriousness of sin fuels our fight against our sin struggles. Tune in for an honest conversation on growth, struggle, and transformation in the Christian life.

In this episode of “Redefined,” we finally dive into the question we’ve touched on in almost every episode: What is the gospel? For those who’ve grown up in church, it might be tempting to skip this episode, thinking they already know the answer. But one thing we must never allow ourselves to do is become numb to the gospel. We begin by exploring why the gospel was necessary in the first place—why did Jesus have to die? From there, we unpack the significance of His death and resurrection on our behalf. The truth is, if your faith rests in anything other than the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, you are lost. We’ve often replaced the gospel with man-made traditions, but there is only one narrow path to life: Jesus’ perfect, final, and finished sacrifice for us. Share this episode with someone as a way to spread the good news—the gospel of Jesus Christ!

In this episode of “Redefined,” we tackle the question: Is God enough for ministry? In today’s Christian culture, we’ve often added traditions that shift the power of salvation from God’s hands to human actions. We’ve encouraged people to say a prayer, walk an aisle, or raise a hand, yet follow-ups reveal that many remain unsure about their relationship with God after such “experiences.” We examine how we’ve come to measure success by numbers and popularity, and challenge the notion of whether we truly believe that God is enough for ministry. Ultimately, we bring it back to the Gospel, emphasizing that salvation comes through the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross alone. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the sufficiency of God in ministry.

This week on "Redefined," we focus on God’s design for the family unit. As Olivet Baptist Church prepares to launch a new sermon series on the book of Ephesians, we discuss the significance of this study—not just for Sunday mornings, but for deep, intentional spiritual discussions within our homes. We explore the crucial role of parents in discipling their children, addressing how youth groups, while not harmful, are sometimes used as a substitute for parental responsibility. This conversation is for everyone, whether you're single, dating, engaged, newly married, or in the thick of family life. We also reflect on how the distractions of the world often pull us away from what’s most important: our relationship with God. We end with a challenge to parents—and all of us—to take an honest look at where we stand in our walk with Jesus Christ.

This week on "Redefined," we dive into a topic that often goes unaddressed in the church: alcohol. We explore three common perspectives that Christians hold about alcohol. First, we discuss the view that alcohol isn’t a problem at all. Next, we examine the belief that drinking alcohol in moderation is acceptable. Lastly, we address how some people use alcohol in a self-righteous way, placing it at the top of the sin list and making judgments about those who do drink. We bring these viewpoints together by looking at the Gospel, emphasizing that while we have freedom in Christ, we are not called to abuse that freedom. Join us as we take a gospel-centered approach to tackling the subject of alcohol.
