Small Town World

We are continuing to combat culture and next week we will be back on a current event topic that is happening in our culture right now.  This was a topic that Kayla prepared for the women's retreat a few weeks back. It's so humbling & motivating to focus on the attributes of God within the setting of a journal. That's the direction we take with this episode. I hope we bring a fresh approach to how you think about the attributes of God.

Something that offers tangible results of the goodness of God, a place where you can see God at work in your life, where you can see prayers answered, where you can be real & raw before God with your needs, where you can intercede for others and a place where you can battle for the souls of the lost, journaling can provide this place! It's a beautiful thing that will bring glory to God. Journals are a blessing to anyone who keeps one and to those who read them later. We hope this episode can give you insight into how to start a journal and the topics to include in your journal.

"Rest is a weapon given to us by God. The enemy hates it because he wants us to be stressed and occupied." said Elisabeth Elliot.  We are dealing with a season of busyness right now and so we studied about this for ourselves! Hope fully we can share some insights that we gained and some great scripture about rest. Two verses not in the episode were Psalm 62:1 "Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from Him" and Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth"

Dicovery Plus has a new documentary titled "Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed".  On this episode we discuss the fallout from ministries whose leaders have sinned and fallen from grace.  This episode is definitely an opinion piece! We strictly give our opinion and thoughts on these ministries, what they mean to us, and how we feel about the situations they face. J. Warner Wallace gave some really great insight to the motivations behind ministries that fall and we discuss those things as well. (Bear with us.........We didn't get to edit this episode due to unforeseen circumstances!) 

Don't Mess With Coffee........ sorry I mean Idolatry, the actual title is Idolatry.  This week we look at old testament idolatry, a sidebar about coffee (uh oh), and all the other stuff we let into our heart. There is news about a new Biblical Archeological discovery that is jaw dropping! AND it relates back to idolatry.  

Wheeeew!! This episode is on fire....... so much to unpack after "The Just Thinking" dudes breakdown deconstruction! We cover this episode and give you a synopsis of their 3 hour episode. If this topic is confusing for you, if you don't understand the growing trend, if you are seeking to be aware of this movement or if you have ever thought "maybe this is something I should explore", then this is the episode for you!!! This is THE ONE to jump in. Take the plunge..... I hope we do this topic justice. 

This topic is so interesting! As usual, in researching the topic, I learned things that I did not know.  There is so much more to learn regarding this subject than what we covered. Taking this topic and seeing how it applies to what is happening culturally is really the focus of this episode. Why would someone want to ignore or misconstrue the meaning of original sin? This issue is explored in this episode! 

We look at deconstruction of faith and how this huge movement that is targeting our kids. There is a GOAL! We look at the genuine deception and intentional agenda of this movement.  The wolves in sheep's clothing are working hard. They are seeking the souls of the church. Please go research this topic for yourself and your family! This movement is leading people into agnosticism, atheism, progressive churches, and even cults.

Kayla gave a church talk and lesson to a lady's group about using Christ as our example for servanthood. I (attempt) to interview her about this lesson and we discuss the last supper where Jesus washed the disciples' feet. This is such a beautiful reminder of who we are called to be in Christ.

It was actually surprising to recognize how many faiths do not hold to the belief of Monotheism, to One True God. We go over quite a bit of scripture and discuss these verses. We look at the Trinity. This is such a powerful episode looking at these things that are so far above our pay grade! But we touch on these things and do our best to give a layperson overview.
