As Christians, we often try to control or fix our problems rather than yield them to God. We try to change our own hearts on our own strength rather than surrender them, sins and all, to the LORD. In this video, we talk about the role of lament in prayer. Scott talks about Paul Miller's "A Praying Life," which talks about lament as recognizing the separation between my reality and the promises of God. We can't just stuff that pain and sorrow. We have to bring it to God. And we have to expect the kindness and grace of the personal God, our loving Father.

In this episode, Scott and I talk about pride: how foolish it is, why it is, and how we can fight it. Be Bereans and check everything we say against Scripture!

In this episode, we have a conversation about the relationship between legalism and Anabaptism. Having grown up Mennonite, we've had a long time to think about this subject. While there are many forms that legalism can take, we discuss the symptoms of legalism that are unique to the Anabaptist culture. We aren't trying to be controversial, pick a fight, or any such thing. Rather, we're exploring a pattern we've detected. Above all, we're seeking to celebrate the freedom found in Christ.

Scott is by himself for this episode. Scott explains where Jordan is for the next 2 months. For this episode Scott reads a blog article that he recently published. The article discusses the great deception that Satan employs in making men think that God is not all-satisfying.
