The Acoma Podcast

Ben & Adam look ahead to the next 3 months, otherwise known as "the holiday season." What traditions await us? Are we in favor of these holidays, or do we look down our nose at them and scoff (spoiler alert, looking at you New Years Eve/Day)?

What is the church supposed to look like? What is God's plan and purpose for the church? Do we really need to attend a local church? The guys discuss several of these ecclesiological questions and zero in on 5 specific characteristics.

Mark, Ben, & Adam finish the series by talking through ways we can all grow in right fear of God. As with anything, growing in this area of our relationship with God will take time and work. The guys discuss several practical things we can each do to grow here.

The guys go deeper into the topic of the fear of God. Now that we understand more of what the fear of God is (addressed in Pt I), how then does it affect a person's life? How should our lives look different in light of properly fearing God?

Mark, Ben, & Adam discuss the fear of God, a doctrine that tends to be misrepresented, misunderstood, and potentially all together absent in the minds of many Christians, and the teaching of many churches. This is part 1 of a multi week series on this crucial element of our understanding of God.

Mark, Ben, & Adam discuss difficult people. As Christians, we're called to love others, but that is always a particular difficult task when people are difficult to be around or deal with. But God doesn't let us off the hook, He asks us to love them and pursue them. The guys discuss the practicalities of what that looks like for Christians.

Ben & Adam discuss patriotism through the lens of Christianity. What does it mean to be rightly patriotic? What does it look like to be wrongly, sinfully patriotic? What should a Christian's relationship be to our country?

Over the past several months, Mark has been writing and recording a fun worship album for kids. It is energetic, scripture focused, and really really fun. The guys discuss how it came to be, and how Mark hopes people use it.

Mark, Ben & Adam discuss God's design for the outdoors. They talk through personal joys of being outside as well as the theology and revelation of God in creation.

As we at Calvary Englewood finish our sermon series through the letter of James, the guys do a retrospective of primary themes and practical lessons we can hold on to from this wonderful and ultra practical book of the Bible.
