# 011: If Christian faith and belief in Jesus is a good thing, then God should not be dysfunctional. Right? Though, while listening to some folks, I get the impression that this is what they want. They want nothing to do with Him now but want to live with him for all eternity. You've heard it. They say things like, "God is too loving to send folks to hell. Everyone gets into heaven." Yet, what is this but calling God dysfunctional?  That is what we're going to look at in this episode. By the way, this episode is only addressing and referring to those who call themselves Christian.

# 010: Since Jesus, God himself, requires Christian people to love others; what can we do to love as we should? Isn't there a few quick and simple steps that we can take to do so? I mean, if we could just be given some quick and easy steps… the world would be a better place, right? Here’s the rub, we don’t all love in the same way. We are unique individuals with different needs and different views of what it means to be loving. So… what can we do? That is what we are going to explore here in episode10.

#009: Jesus' love requires Christians to forgive others. Yet how can we honestly forgive? How can we not hold a grudge? We will chat about how important forgiveness is to God, the phrase "forgive and forget," and what type of "forgetfulness" the Bible associates with forgiveness. We will even touch the idea that forgiveness does not mean that there are no consequences. We wrap up this episode by talking about the need for God's wisdom in all of this.

#008 For growing in Christian Faith, there is nothing like concrete examples to help us on our way. That is what this episode is all about, an example of loving the unlovable, from my own life. This is not meant to portray every way this is accomplished in my life. Nor is this meant to be an all-inclusive discussion on the matter. I am kind of expecting you to connect some of the dots and talk with God to determine how best to show his love to others. I know that a relational God would require us to love others... is kind of crazy, but it is the way of the abundant life Jesus came to give. Let me know what you think.

#007: When thinking of Christian love, we tend to think of all those things that are nice and compassionate. Things that avoid hurting another person’s feelings, things which actually make someone feel good, correct? I mean, it is imperative to play nice! Yet… is that all there is to love, being nice? Or, does love run deeper than mere niceties? That is what we are going to explore here in episode 7.

#006: In this episode, we will talk bout how we all identify with the Apostle Paul when he says that he is not able to break out of the cycle of doing what he doesn't want to do and of not being able to do what he truly wants to do. About how we are powerless to change this ourselves and about how it has been changed for us. How is this? Here is a hint: we can't do it ourselves. We need help. This help is what we are going to talk about.

#005: Part of our growing Christian faith is knowing that God is real. Last time we considered how this involves loving the unlovable in our lives. In this episode, we will turn our attention to who the unlovable may be. Who do you think of when you hear the phrase, "the unlovable?" There may be many who qualify; yet in this episode, we will limit our consideration to our unlovely fellow church members. We will also discuss the importance Jesus places on our loving them as much as we love everyone else. We will also touch on why he places so much importance on it.

#004: While growing in your Christian faith, in your relationship with Jesus, have you ever been asked, "How do you know God is real?" How did you answer? Were you able to answer? In this episode, we will explore what proofs we should be looking for and we will chat about one proof that I have found. I bet you can't guess what it is... or maybe you can. Either way, that is what this episode is about: a proof that God is real and is who he says he is.

#003: Ever wish your faith in Christ had more traction, more direct application, to your daily life? In this episode we will chat about how God's love is exactly that; it is the grit, the traction, and the power to be all God wants you to be. Whether dealing with an annoying co-worker or a situation that is threatening to overwhelm you. It is the traction you need, the help you need to be more than a conqueror in Christ. It is the power that unlocks true abundance in life; even when the storms of life rage about you. It is the power to see that these storms, these troubles are merely light and momentary afflictions.

#002: In this episode, we chat about the most important thing our faith in Christ will lead us to do. This cannot happen until we have faith in Christ, and it is Christ that enables and makes this happen. Yet, it is on us to follow through and do this one thing; for it is the basis for all else that is done by those authentically following Jesus Christ. This isn't a list of things to do; there are no set steps or rules found here. Yet without this, there is no relationship with God. Enjoy.
