  • The Cross and the Crescent Week One - What do you know about Islam?

    You might know that they believe in Allah, that Muhammad is very important to them, and that they pray often. But did you know they are the fastest growing religion on earth? Did you know that nowhere in any of their holy texts do they claim to be a religion of peace? Did you know that millions of Muslims have moved to this country in the past few years and their population is expected to double in the next 20 years? Whether you are aware or not, Islam and its followers are something you will need to interact with in the near future. Are you ready to answer their questions with intelligence and kindness? In this episode you will learn how.

  • Your Choice - Episode 4 - Effects of maturity

    We are at the end of our series and Israel has been through a lot. Almost a decade of war, hard lessons learned, and much obedience practiced. So what have they learned? What character attributes have taken root? In this episode we address a story that shows the culmination of everything Israel has learned under Joshua's leadership. It's a beautiful story of friendship, obedience, and dependance on God. And it answers some important questions for you: What would it look like for you to mature? What marks the life of a healthy believer that has followed God well for years?

  • Your Choice - Hardest question for Christians to answer

    William lane Craig and Paul Copan are two brilliant Christian apologists and they have each admitted that the Canaanite massacre is one of the most ethically difficult and challenging stories to explain in the Bible. Did Godreally call for the deaths of thousands of Canaanites? Was it ethnically motivated or religiously motivated? Is God justified in what he did? Tune in to find out the answer!

  • Your Choice - What it takes to win

    In this episode we analyze two battles that Joshua engages in. One he wins, and in the other he is soundly defeated.

    As Christians we will engage in multiple battles. Battles like controlling your finances, fighting lust, or being a good employee. Other times it's learning how to stay connected to the Lord or learning to trust him when he asks you to do difficult things. The question of this lesson is this: Do you know what it takes to win?

  • Your Choice - What it takes to be a leader

    Throughout all of history, every person has been given a choice. God deeply values you, your agency, and your ability to choose. Will you follow your own will, or God’s will.

    In this first episode of the new series, we explore what it means to lead yourself well, develop deep convictions, and live with awareness of the times we are living in. True leadership begins with surrender and learning to follow God before leading others.

    We’ll look at passages about courage, endurance, discernment, and the importance of standing firm in what matters most. Just as you pay attention to the weather, you should also pay attention to the spiritual and cultural times around us.

    Joshua’s declaration still echoes today: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” The choice is yours.

    Follow along in Joshua 1 and 1 Chronicles 12:32

  • Freakishly Generous - Ep. 5 - Generosity and Wisdom

    There are many practical things that a believer can do with their money to honor the Lord. One of those is to help the poor and the needy. But how do you help the poor and the needy? What if some of the things you're doing with good intention are actually hurting people.

    I believe that when people give, their hearts are full of compassion, but are they full of wisdom? In this episode we endeavor to help the believer develop their ideas on poverty alleviation. How do we help the poor and the needy, but also dignify them? How do we alleviate suffering, but not just give handouts? How do we develop someone's financial situation and their spiritual situation? All these things will be considered and discussed inthis episode of our series Freakishly Generous.
