Share Truth Apply Scripture

Wesley and TJ continue their discussion on the importance of work and how to view work as a way to glorify God. They are joined by Engage intern Myra Gilmore.

Myra thought she wanted to be a baker so she applied to work at a local bakery. She hated it. She later applied to be a writer for Engage. She won't say whether she hates it too, especially with her boss next to her.

The three discuss the value of interning and Myra gives some of her best advice to people looking to start interning, or for someone about to enter their first internship.

Sports play a major role in the lives of many children and teenagers in America. Whether you played, watched, or mocked sports, there are many life lessons to be learned. Wesley and TJ discuss how high school sports helped shape the men they became and even impacted their worldview.

Wesley and TJ are joined by Jeff Martin, executive vice president of ministry programs and resources for Fellowship of Christian Athletes, to talk about the many outreaches of FCA. The ministry is about more than just helping kids become better at sports, although they do have a focus on that. Martin and the rest of the FCA team focus on using sports as a platform to grow the kingdom of God.

Wesley and TJ continue celebrating marriage, but this time with Canada Burkhalter. She brings a unique perspective to the discussion because she is single and waiting patiently. She discusses her article, "Why Marriage Matters to Single Christians," and how married couples can encourage their single friends.

The Heart of Marriage moves from articles to the podcast as Wesley and TJ talk all thing marriage with AFA vice president Ed Vitagliano. The trio first examines how and why God made marriage, but then discuss why God's definition of marriage matters today. Ed brings out that how you view God will impact how you view marriage, and how you view marriage impacts how you see everything else in life.

Men love a good challenge, and there are few challenges greater than fatherhood. Wesley and TJ are joined by Engage's radio producer Jeremy Wiggins to discuss three lessons we can learn from bad dads in the Bible. These men were certainly not the worst fathers in history, but they fell into pitfalls that are temptations to every father.

Since Wesley, TJ, and Jeremy gave dads such a hard time in the first segment, Wesley and TJ bring Jim Shempert, director of One Million Dads into the studio to talk about the joys of fatherhood. Jim is the father a beautiful little girl and he tells everyone about her. He sees the challenges facing dads and knows the only way to be a good father is through knowing our Heavenly Father. After you listen to the three talk about some of their favorite aspects of fatherhood, read some of Jim's articles at OneMillionDads.com.

Ruth was born "For such a time as this," and so were you. We live in an incredible era with more biblically sound resources than any previous generation could have dreamed of. But having such resources can be equally encouraging and stressful. You want to soak up so much it is difficult to focus on only one. So how do you gain the discipline of focus, what tools are worth investing in, and what resources are worth your time? Wesley and TJ discuss some of their favorite and most-used Bible study and discipleship tools and ways to wisely spend our time growing in intimacy with God.

A few other material to help rest how you spend your time are "How to Declutter Your Spiritual Life" and "How to Purpose Your Life".
