The Entrust Podcast

This question has challenged believers for thousands of years. Entire libraries have been written attempting to answer it. Some conclude that suffering proves God does not exist. Others conclude suffering proves God does not love us. Still others conclude suffering proves we lack enough faith. Scripture teaches none of these. This session will explore what Scripture teaches about suffering in the life of a Christian.

Family worship is a private intentional time set apart for the family unit to seek God through the reading of scripture, prayer, and singing to God. This session will explore how to practically incorporate this practice into your home.

Surviving the Suffering explores the biblical purpose behind suffering and how God works through our pain for His glory and our growth. Discover the hope, peace, and strength that are found in Christ, even in life's most difficult seasons.

Many of us are aware that God cares for our souls. Are we convinced that he cares about our bodies as well? What biblical passages and themes would we use to make this argument? This session uses Biblical wisdom on these questions and explores how our bodies help us enjoy and serve God. 

Technology is one of the greatest blessings of our generation, but it can also become one of our greatest distractions if left unchecked. This session explores biblical wisdom for using technology faithfully, guarding our homes wisely, and ensuring our devices never replace God’s Word, God’s people, or God’s purpose for our lives.

Following God's Will explores what Scripture teaches about discerning God's will. We'll look at the difference between God's sovereign will, His revealed will, and His will of direction, while learning how biblical wisdom guides our everyday decisions. Instead of trying to solve God's will like a mystery, we'll discover how to faithfully obey His Word, seek wise counsel, and trust Him with the outcomes of the choices we make.

Last session we discussed: God owns it all, we are stewards, seek wise counsel, expect uncertainty, and have a plan and stick to it. How do the world and Christians look at finances differently? 

Does God think money and finances are important? The Bible has over 2,300 verses covering money, stewardship, and finances. Jesus talked more about money than he did heaven and hell combined. What do some Christian leaders have to say about money?

For parents, there is nothing that can make the hairs on our neck stand up more than a comment about our child’s behavior or environment. We spend so much energy on raising our children that our focus on our marriage and our spouse can suffer. When we look to God’s word, we can see His intent on the family structure, and we see how we should prioritize the roles in the family unit.

Today’s family is threatened by:

1. Our society downplaying the role of the husband-wife relationship
2. The rise of child-centered parenting

Faithful Bible reading is not mastered quickly or painlessly. Perseverance reminds us that growth in understanding comes through consistency, patience, and long obedience rather than shortcuts or sudden insight.
