This week we chat with Ed Nugent about seeing how Jesus is the center of every single page in scripture, not just the New Testament. For more resources we talked about in this episode, go to @thesearchisoverpodcast on Instagram!

We are called to contend for the faith. Calling out false teachers is loving, not dividing. We were already divided. 

Today we chat with our Nana about "performancism" as well as idolatry.

Maybe you grew up having the 10 commandments hanging up in your living room or maybe you feel like you are doing a pretty good job at keeping them. God's perfect law is not something we look to to feel better about ourselves or to try and fix ourselves with. The law is there to SLAY us...to show us how far off we are from God's perfect standard. That's why there had to be a cross.....

We are back for Season 2!! Come hear the good news that you don't have to be enough because Jesus was. In this first episode of season 2, we debunk popular sayings/ideas that are not rooted in truth. We tackle the sayings "You're Enough", "Happiness is the goal", and "Follow your heart."

It’s no shock that our world is fallen and that we live in a broken world with broken people with broken systems. What’s wrong with the world? You. Me. We have hope though. “The resurrection and the life hasn’t forgotten you… He is coming for you.”

This verse is in every Christian school's gym, it’s on Tim Tebow‘s tattoo, but that doesn’t reflect what Paul was actually writing to the Philippians in this letter. He was not saying “We’re gonna win because God will give us strength.” He was saying, “No matter what happens if I win or if I lose, I can handle it all because I have that firm foundation in Jesus and Jesus is enough." 

If you haul the American Dream into the presence of God, you can count on one thing…He will ask you to leave it at the door. Recall the rich young ruler. By all appearances, he was a sincere man. But he wanted to journey with Jesus and bring his stuff. So, when Jesus asks him to leave his stuff at the door, the young man chooses instead to walk away from Jesus.

Ever heard the David and Goliath story? Have you always been told that you are David? Have you always been told that if you sprinkle a little bit of Jesus in your life that's enough? We are not David. God is not the supporting actor in my life movie. We need more than a little help, we need more than a coach, we need a RESCUER. 

Everyday we are told 100 different resources for peace and joy and that we can also be the solution to our difficulties, which can't be true because we are also the problem. 

Today I dissect some popular concepts regarding self help, manifestation, good vibes only, positivity, and more through the lens of the gospel.
