The C.O.D.E of Man

Originally intended as our return from Spring Break episode we delayed the release of this one until this week. The discussion revolves arounf teh importance of brotherhood in our battles. We need one another, we need those tight, heart knit groups of men and women who we can call at 2AM when our world is falling apart! Do you have a fellowship like that?

We're back! Spring break is done, and we decided on this last-minute switch to share this podcast during the week of May 4th and 5th, or, otherwise known as "May the 4th be with you," and "Revenge of the 5th!"

Napoleon, Easy Target, and Overtrek are all back for a discussion of the spiritual lessons that can be gleaned and taught from families and friends watching the Star Wars series together. And of course, we have to have a trivia competition!

It's time for a little sabbath! A season to practice a little more of slowing the pace, shrinking the world, and shepherding the heart.

It would be almost unthinkable in our modern way to accept the strong conviction of this Psalm writer, a man who could make such a bold declaration of his faith in God and his word, "I have been faithful to your word! Lord, I now expect you to take my case and champion my cause!" How can you and I obtain and live in the same kind of boldness?

Do you have a theology of suffering? Every believer should have one, and it should help us to understand that our suffering is a means to strength when we sanctify our heart to God in the trials. His grace is greater than our pain.

How many of us find ourselves discouraged in prayer because we feel repetitive, unfocused, and perhaps even, dare we say, bored? That can be disheartening, especially because we know prayer is vital, and we want to have a vibrant and meaningful life of prayer. In this episode Mike discusses the very helpful practice of praying the scriptures. There are some wonderful helps that come to us when we learn to pray straight from the Bible itself! Imagine, praying from God’s word back to God!
