The Nine Points Podcast

Sometimes the sacrifice is more important than the bag.

I spent several minutes thinking of a good title for today's episode. All at once it hit me. Our family just celebrated a birthday this weekend, so this one will be "The Birthday Gift."

Have you ever wondered "Why do I even try to do the right thing?" This episode may offer some perspective to your question.

In this episode we begin with our son discussing his experiences with reaching out to others. The second segment addresses how to find the proper motivation, including self-nourishment.

We chose to begin season six of our family podcast on June 6, 2023, my grandfather's 88th birthday. We begin the show discussing one of my son's youtube channels. In the final segment, we address the struggle of Cain in Genesis 4. We contrast Cain's actions with what the Fruit of the Spirit encourages us to do.

Today's show looks at how we can find enlightenment through different kinds of families. 

This episode explores affliction and respect by looking at the life of Job. Z-Time discusses the logic of loving someone who has repeatedly hurt you. 

This show discusses the necessity of making room for others.

Today's show has three segments. The first segment explores how casual bitterness can morph into something much worse. Z-time explores the responsibilities of parents and children through the lens of Ephesians 6: 1-4. The final segment is a brief reflection upon how much has changed over the past two years. 

I dedicated this episode to my aunt and mother. Today is my aunt's birthday, & my mother's birthday will be two days from now. The content of this episode is contained in one segment and comes from Ephesians 6: 1-17. Ephesians 6 has several layers to it. Within those few verses, The Apostle Paul speaks truth about family life, slavery, spiritual wickedness & the Full Armor of God. The first phase of the show addresses the first 13 verses of Ephesians 6. The final phase is an explanation of how the Full Armor of God is relevant to how we lead our families.
