2 Timothy 1: 15-17I certainly didn't who this person was before I started studying for today's podcast. But as I read about him, I realized we can learn a lot about being a Christian from this relatively minor figure in the New Testament. I hope to share that with you today!

James 3: 8-10Ah the tongue... no man can tame the tongue right? We have all heard this phrase at some point. But have you ever really broken down what this popular passage means? We visit this passage in today's episode and discuss how we can achieve what the Lord expects of us.

1 Peter 2: 16-17How often do we hear someone justify evil behavior with their freedom to choose? That's never really made sense to me.. seems like the freedom to choose brings on even more responsibility to make the right choice with our freedoms. We briefly discuss this concept in today's episode along with some practical steps to a Christian Life.

Psalms 15: 1-5David was a man after God's own heart, and someone we can learn a lot from about living Christian lifestyles.In the 15th Psalm, we hear David speak some wisdom we can all apply to our lives and use to walk closer to God each day. Today, we go over those five verses to see what knowledge we can pull from them!

Luke 15: 11-32Why did Jesus tell the story of the Prodigal Son? I've heard many reasons for telling this particular story, and there are many to choose from. But today I want to encourage everyone to listen to the overarching moral of the story that is sometimes left out of the discussion.

Luke 17: 3-4Yes, today we are back in Luke 17! I noticed something I had never really noticed when preparing for yesterdays study: Luke 17 3-4 has an element of forgiveness in it I had never really considered before. So I decided to revisit the chapter today to bring that point out for discussion!

Luke 17: 1-2Most of us probably don't remember learning to walk, but I'm confident we have all seen a child learning the valuable skill. We would never do something to hinder that young person from walking would we?? I'd wager we would go above and beyond to be helpful... and I wonder if we apply the same precautions to people learning to walk spiritually.

Philippians 2: 14-16Happy Labor day if you're living in the United States! Today is a day we remember the successes of the labor movement in our country and take a break from laboring ourselves. But have we considered our labors in Christ? That is something we can never take a break from.

James 1: 26-27Have you ever heard one of your friends say something along the lines of "Religion is something constructed by man, what matters is a relationship with Jesus?" I know I have, and I have always wondered about the truth in that statement. Does the Bible support or conflict with that mind frame? Today we discuss what James has to say about the matter!

Ephesians 3: 20-21Today is one of my favorite days of the year; the start of college football. I look forward to today all year, since the teams stopped playing in January. I anticipate the beginning of a new season, but do I give as much time and consideration to heavier topics? Today is a friendly reminder to make sure we all spend time anticipating things that matter!
