Some updates concerning season 3

In this episode I share a recent conversation I had with one of my kids in which we discussed how we are bombarded by worldly, anti-God ideas. In the past we could avoid these ideas or at least culture seemed to at least attempt to keep such things quarantined to a certain place and time; this is no longer the case. Now Christians must be actively alert to the traps because they are everywhere whether we go looking for them or not.

In this episode I share a recent conversation about history, worry and what believers are actually called to do. It's difficult to know sometimes how to respond, but we've got to start with what we know.

Oftentimes TV is pointless but every once in awhile there's a lesson we can learn. Recently I learned a lesson from an episode of The Middle about perseverance and hope. Life can be bumpy but how we respond to these bumps makes the difference.

In this episode I share my thoughts from Numbers 21. This is a classic example of the foolish, stubborn, stupidity that people are prone to. We teach obedience or mistrust to those who are watching us.

*Correction -Although the incident I talk about happens at the end of the 40 years it's really the final gasping rebellion of the Exodus generation more than the newer generation.*

In this episode I share how the struggles with my son's profound Autism shapes my view of what expectation for daily life looks like. Life is unpredictable and every day we learn that as we navigate his disabilities.

In this episode I share my thoughts on how critical approaches to studying the Bible can lead to treating the Bible as an artifact to examine and undercut it as the authoritative Word of God.

In this episode I share my thoughts on how a Christian should think about their country. With the 250th birthday of America right around the corner, this is never more pertinent.
