Join us this week as Benjamin and Christina discuss John Mark Comer's book, Practicing the Way. Comer is a pastor and author in Los Angeles, California, and has reached incredible popularity in the Christian world in the past few years. In this episode, Benjamin and Christina talk about Comer's latest book, Practicing the Way and discuss what it means to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do as Jesus did. Is the purpose of disciples of Jesus Christ to do as Jesus did? Or do as Jesus told us?

Benjamin and Christina walk through each the three pillars of "practicing the Way" and give their thoughts on where things Comer says line up biblically, and also where they have concerns about the theology presented in the book. Ultimately, Benjamin and Christina set out to ask the question, are Christians supposed to "do as He did," or "do as He told us," which they argue, are two different things.

Join Benjamin and Christina this week as they discuss the topic of parenting. In a world shaped by competing parenting philosophies, what does the Bible have to say about parenthood?

In this first part of a two-part series, they explore common approaches—authoritarian, gentle, permissive, and more—and contrast them with a biblical framework rooted in both wisdom and the gospel.

Grounded in Ephesians 6:4, the Gees outline seven core principles that shape their family and how they aim to train their children:

In Part 1, the focus is on the first three: discipline, instruction, and submission. They discuss discipline as loving training that establishes life-giving boundaries, instruction as forming both understanding and faith, and submission as a foundational posture toward God-ordained authority.

Throughout the episode, they reflect on how these principles play out in the early years of parenting, and how they prepare children for what lies ahead.

Part 2 will continue with perseverance, stewardship, grace, and love.

Join Benjamin and Christina this week as they welcome pastor, church planter, and author Nino Marques to the podcast for a conversation on biblical church membership and what it means to truly belong to a local church. Nino is the author of Becoming One: Finding Your Place in the Body of Christ and One Body: Membership in the Local Church, two books that explore the importance of committed membership in the body of Christ.

In this episode, we discuss what church membership is, why it matters for Christian discipleship and sanctification, and why the New Testament presents belonging to a local church as an essential part of the Christian life. Drawing from Scripture and pastoral experience, Nino explains the difference between simply attending church and truly belonging to a biblical, Spirit-filled church community.

If you’ve ever wondered what the Bible teaches about church membership or why commitment to a local church body matters for spiritual growth, this conversation will help clarify the purpose and motivation behind church membership.
