The Link

Deuteronomy 6 calls us to love God with all our hearts and to teach this commandment to our children, which means, as parents, we are called to find ways to share and show the truths of His Word to our kids. How do we do this? On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris is joined by Pastor Joe Crabb, the host of the Coming & Going Podcast, for a meaningful conversation about how parents can live out and impress Biblical truths upon their children.

We don't have bodies; we are our bodies. That's right, we ARE our bodies. But what does it mean when we say this? On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down with theologian Gregg Allison to talk about a holistic theology of the human body to help equip us to address pressing contemporary issues related to our bodies, including how we express our sexuality, body image, end of life questions, and how to live as whole people in a fractured world. You won't want to miss this conversation!

Whether it's the workplace, our kid's school, our own school, the gym, or our local coffee shop, we all spend time in public places. And in those public places, we interact with people from different walks of life.

What if instead of viewing these spaces as just part of our routines, we saw them as opportunities to share our faith? On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down with Indiana Senator John Crane to talk about ways to share our faith in the spaces we live in daily.

As believers, we know marriage is such a sacred, God-ordained thing. But we also know there is no such thing as happily ever after. Marriage is hard, and often we fail our spouses, or our spouses will fail us. On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down with author and speaker Dannah Gresh to talk about how to fight for your marriage, overcome hurt and sexual sin, and build a marriage that lasts.

It’s no surprise to hear me say that parents and teenagers typically struggle to understand each other—but we should refuse to let this tendency stop us from making those meaningful connections with our kids. Research indicates that almost half of high school seniors drift from their faith after graduation. So, how can we, as parents, grandparents, or adults, build a lasting faith in our kids?

On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down with the nation's leading expert on faith and youth, Dr. Kara Powell, to talk about how we can engage with the next generation in a way that produces a faith that lasts.

Whether you listen to The Link in your car via podcast or in your living room on YouTube, it’s an online forum.  Today online is where the next generation [and many of us now] engages with the world around us. It’s where we find answers to our questions, a place to talk about tough and relevant topics. So, how can we engage this area with the Gospel? On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down in the studio - all the way from Australia - with author and pastor Dave Adamson to discuss how we can leverage the digital space to help bring the Gospel to those outside of our church walls.

Parenting is no easy feat. And the older your kids get, the often harder it becomes. As Christian parents, you work hard to raise your kids in a loving environment and do your best to continually point them to Jesus. All while hoping and praying, they maintain and grow in their faith as they reach adulthood. But what happens when they walk away from the faith? Studies show that many children raised in the church have now deconstructed from the faith. So what do you do? 

On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris Brooks is joined by author and Pastor Dr. Erwin Lutzer for a conversation that will hopefully bring healing and hope to parents of prodigal children.

What is your view of Christians? For many, Christians and Christianity are viewed as hypocrites and judgmental, and some would even say we are bigoted. But is that true about Christianity? Is it really sexist or racist?

On this episode of The Link, Pastor Chris sits down with author and apologist Abdu Murray to answer some of these questions and prove that Christianity is more than a white man's religion.

Did you meet someone?

Are you dating?

When are you going to get married? 

If you are single, you’ve probably been asked one of these questions more times than you can count.

On this episode of The Link, we’re going to talk about a topic often overlooked within the body of Christ—singleness. And who better to join Pastor Chris Brooks than Dr. Lina Abujamra—author and Bible teacher. And if you’re not single, don’t tune out; we also talk about how the church can better come alongside and minister to singles! You won’t want to miss it!
