The Uncommon Truth

The recent close calls with yet another Northern California wildfire have brought to mind the topic of trials and suffering. As Christians, how should we view these troubles? When we are confronted with challenges, are we supposed to conclude that Jesus is not with us?

When we read the New Testament, we witness countless instances of suffering, from the life Jesus to those who followed him. What does this mean for us today? Do we need a perspective shift?

Each of us have ways of seeing things that shape how we interpret the world around us. These can take the form of experiences, tradition or where and how we were raised. So when it comes to Christianity, could these filters be holding us back from seeing and experiencing what Jesus has for us?

In this week’s episode, Steve & Vicki Orsillo talk about how a culture of unbelief, even among Christians, can hamper us. What are we trusting in that is keeping us from experiencing Jesus fully, and how can we overcome that?

This week Steve & Vicki Orsillo answer more listener questions. What does the baptism of the Holy Spirit look like in a person’s life? If Jesus calls us to leave our family for Him, will my spouse leave me to follow Jesus? How can I be a light for Jesus, even in a Christian environment?

Steve also tells the hilarious story of how a stranger’s misdialed phone number scared him into following Jesus 45 years ago. If you’d like to ask Steve or Vicki a question for a future Q & A episode, email Max here: [email protected].

By definition, our beliefs about salvation tend to form the very foundation of our Christian faith. For the most part, the way we understand salvation usually impacts how we live out our faith. 

Yet a lot of our commonly held views on salvation are inconsistent with what the New Testament teaches. How can that be? What are the ramifications if it is true? More importantly, what does the Bible actually teach about what it takes to be saved?

When it comes to following others in Christianity, the idea seems to make most people cringe. Faith is something that is deeply personal for each one of us, and our culture has elevated individualism to the point where the idea of following another person is actually controversial.

Yet when we read the New Testament, we see a different picture. Are we missing something in 21st Century Christianity when we decide to do it all on our own?

As Christians, most of us are probably familiar and comfortable with the idea of God’s unconditional love for us. It’s something many of us have been taught since childhood. However, most of us are probably less knowledgable about the conditions Jesus’ own words lay out in the New Testament. 

The Gospels are full of these types of conditions for those who would follow Jesus. So why is it so rare to hear them taught in mainstream Christianity? Why do we seem so eager to overlook them, explain them away or live in contrast to what they say?

The problem of anxiety and depression is running rampant in our society today. What is the cause, what are the effects, and what can we do about it?

Until recently, these afflictions did not seem to be widespread within Christianity. That is not the case today, and it seems like more Christians than ever are struggling. How can hopelessness and fear be so prevalent among those who claim to know the Prince of Peace and His hope and joy? How can we regain that peace ourselves and transform our neighbors’ lives in the process?

If you’re a Christian, chances are you’ve lost sleep over the question, “What is God’s will for my life?” We seem to wrestle with this question on an almost daily basis. When it comes down to big decisions, or even the general direction of our lives, are we actually looking to God for the answers? After all, everyone wants to know they are headed the right way, but most people don’t like asking for directions. 

Could the answer to this question be right in front of us?

How would you define Christianity? How does that definition affect the way you live as a Christian? If you struggle to answer these questions with confidence, you’re not alone.

The Bible tells us that God doesn’t change. However, as we read it, we realize that his interactions with people do involve different agreements, called covenants. The bible is full of them, and Jesus came to initiate the final one: the New Covenant. 

What happens when we don’t fully comprehend that New Covenant? Can we mix and match with the ones that came before? Tune in to find out.
