What is a believer supposed to do when their own Christ-centered community hurts them? How does God view those in church leadership who abuse the members? Why should I consider going to another church? These are the questions that often swell in the minds of those who experience church hurt. In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about these questions and point to the hope and comfort that God offers. Sinful people do sinful things, but one act of sin does not create the opportunity for generalities across all Christendom. Love on those who are hurting, and be in prayer for them and the ones who hurt others.

Dr. O's X profile –⁠@jonokinaga⁠

Good news! Dr. O is doing much better, so him and Matt recorded a full length episode. A lot has happened to both of them in the last month, but one thing has remained constant: the power of God's Word working in their lives. No matter who you are, God can use you to accomplish His wonderful plans. From the janitor to the president, God chooses to use people from different walks of life to lead others to salvation and peace.

Not going to lie, this episode is not that ground-breaking. It's just Dr. O and Matt talking about how things have been since starting this podcast. Jon talks about the connections he has made, and Matt talks about the importance of speaking biblical truth. This is one of the episodes of all time. Enjoy two friends talking (and barely being able to talk) about how things are going!

Well, right when Dr. O got back from vacation, he got sick and lost his voice (not great for podcasting), so he asked Matt what he's learned over the course of making this podcast. And we would like to hear from our listeners what they have learned, too! Let us through what you have learned and what topics you would like us to explore. Our goal is to create a resource that people can use to continually grow closer to God. In everything you do, worship King Jesus, love the people around you, and never stop learning and obeying what Scripture says.

Marriage is hard. Two sinners joining together brings many troubles, but God ordained it to be beautiful and sanctifying for His glory and the couple's good. In this episode, Matt reads a case study he saw, and Dr. O talks about the influences of trauma-informed care that can rip a marriage apart if not dealt with biblically. God has given us His Word to make us wise to His power in our everyday lives. Read it well, and read it often so that you may be reminded of His goodness amidst your suffering.

Happy New Year! Lots of people talk about resolutions at the start of the new year, but how often are they kept throughout the year? In this episode, Matt is joined by Dr. Gady Youmans, bivocational pastor and SWBTS alumni who desires to help families get their finances in order. Financial troubles impact a lot of one's life, so managing resources should be at the top of many people's resolution lists. Listen to Dr. Youmans explain the biblical value of stewardship, how it impacts counseling, and why the "health, wealth, and prosperity" movement misses the biblical understanding.

Dr. Youmans's Resource

Does God use regular people to do extraordinary things? YES! That is seen throughout the Bible, and that is how God has used our guest in this episode, Dr. Jenifer Wakefield. She went from someone who was not that interested in God to now working with and being an advocate for women because of the miraculous change only found in His Word. Listen to her story, what she is doing to bring hope and peace to women in need of a savior, and why the church needs regular people working in the ministry of reconciliation for His glory and our good.

Merry Christmas from the boys! In this episode, Dr. O and Matt talk about the necessity for a good understanding of Christmas through the lens of God's Word. You do not have to be happy, but you do need to recognize that nothing is impossible with God. No matter the time or season, He is making all things new in His timing.

The consequences of sin infects the minds of every human. For many, child sex abuse is a part of their past and feel as if no one will listen to them. In this episode, Matt welcomes Dr. Cheryl Bell, an abuse survivor and biblical counselor focused on helping women biblically deal with their past and move forward into the victory found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Listen to her detail how Jesus gave her the freedom she has now and how she helps women see that the Bible speaks to their very needs.

Dr. Bell's work with ACBC

There has been a discussion in the world of biblical counseling over the last month or so, and some are pushing to be more clinically informed in the practice of biblical counseling. In this episode, Dr. O and his mentor, Dr. John Babler, push back against this statement and give their reasoning behind their beliefs and practices. If the Bible is sufficient for all things pertaining to life and godliness, then biblical counselors must take that stance seriously instead of bending under the weight of secular theories and practices.
