Pastor Adam and Steve Dauster will be starting a series of episodes around different spiritual disciplines as we begin this new year. The spiritual disciplines are really about how do I embrace the gift and joy of Christ in my life now? How do we continue to build muscle memory in our spiritual life? What is the importance of practicing study of scripture?

Pastor Adam and Steve Dauster discuss an article today about how we correctly or incorrectly emulate Christ to the world. How do we self assess and ensure that we are accurately representing the gospel to a lost world?

Join the conversation with Pastor Adam and Steve Dauster as they discuss the difference between persecution and discomfort. Pastor Adam spoke on James 1:2-4 on December 27th. This episode is a follow up conversation on that sermon.

Why is there a strong emotive response from the Christians in regards to the political party? Regardless of who the leader is, that does not change the gospel or who Christ is. We need to be seekers of truth and right now, we are seekers of subjective truth. If we identify with scripture first, then we have something to talk about, but our focus is elsewhere.

We received this question this week: "How do I handle family who aren't believers but have kids? I want to give my niece and nephew bibles for Christmas."

Pastor Adam and Steve Dauster discuss how we interact with family who are not believers. How do we make sure that we are not causing harm while having good intentions?

Join Pastor Adam and Steve Dauster as they discuss Harry Styles's recent photo shoot and the reaction he received. How do we define what men and women are? How does the culture cause us to think a certain way and how, as believers, are we called to respond to a broken culture?

Join Pastor Adam and Steve in the conversation around faith and politics. Do we have more passion behind our God or our president? Have we put in as much effort to understand the character of God as we have in forming our politic views?
