Jesus is with us always, but we rarely ask "what does that actually mean?" And wouldn't it be easier to live the Christian life if we had him physically present? Bryan and Paul answer some deep questions fielded from some insightful kids. Also, Paul reveals a shocking secret about his childhood!

*Fixed Audio* We field questions from actual kids in our series Talk to Me Like I'm Five. This week we answer the question: how do we know God is real? Also, Bryan makes Paul feel awkward (again)

We're posting a flashback episode from our "Problem of Evil" series that covers the relationship between God's sovereignty and evil. This particular episode deals with Calvinism and whether it attributes evil to God. We posted this episode a while back when we were still hosted on the Four Oaks Midtown Podcast where you can find the other episodes in this series.

We break down what the Bible is and how it shapes our lives in 15-ish minutes!

In this episode we talk about the purpose of life and how to enjoy a lollipop.

Do cringe back at your shallow "feelings-oriented" charismatic days? Or do you roll your eyes at the arrogant rigidity of your doctrinal upbringing? Or perhaps you shake your head at your former ignorance of church history and tradition? Or maybe your faith has finally come alive after years stuck in a dusty and dead high church? Whatever your situation it seems as though Christians follow a familiar path when it comes to shifts in theology and practice. Bryan and Paul discuss these familiar patterns by engaging with an article by Dr. Scott Redd titled, "Three Modes of Christian Formation: Experience, Doctrine, and Liturgy." Also Paul says some awkward things.
