In the last episode of their “Fruit of the Spirit” series, Debbie and Josh discussed the fruit of gentleness and self-control. These two fruits are invaluable to the life of a follower, and can be a little tricky to practice. However, self-control means so much to our walk, and walking it out means so much more […]

You will all perceive at once that there must be love even in this apparently angry word; that this contention must, after all, have something to do with contentment, and that this battle must be, after all, but a disguised mercy, but another shape of an embrace from the God of love. Carry this consoling reflection in your thoughts […]

Jarod and Dave chop it up about a few topics in the aftermath of the last few heavy episodes. In particular, they dig into stories and reactions online to the continued national controversy over racism. This has produced no small amount of opportunities for many to try to prove their self-righteousness, and the guys talk […]

In this episode, Debbie and Josh look at what it means to be faithful. Why is it important to be able to stand on what you believe, and what happens if you can’t? Having faith is more than simply saying I believe, it is standing by what you believe regardless of what is happening around you.

Jarod and Dave sit down to a conversation about the dividing lines that we often find, and the terms we use to try to both understand and shut down the other side in these debates of the day. We often find ourselves feeling like we’re in the middle of a culture clash, and this one […]

It has been all the […]

[O]ften, our trials bring us very near to our God. Your children run down the meadow to play, and they get a good way off from home in the sunny day, as they ramble along gathering their buttercups and daisies; but by-and-by, the sun sets, and night comes on, and now they cry to be at […]

Dave and Jarod continue their discussing of the book Power Religion: The Selling Out of the Evangelical Church? with the section titled “Power Within,” on the issue of Psychology and its influence on Modern Theology and church counseling. This section especially is a great one to read, so we really recommend getting the book and […]

Put not your trust in anything beneath the stars; remember that “Change” is written on the fore-front of nature. Say not therefore, “My mountain standeth firm: it shall never be moved;” the glance of Jehovah’s eye can shake thy mountain into dust, the touch of his foot can make it like Sinai, to melt it […]
