The title pretty much spells out this entire episode.

Legalism is not obedience.

Though it may appear godly and obedient to God, it is far from pleasing to Him.

But let me explain WHY... [ This is your cue to press play! ;) ]

 

IMPORTANT CAVEAT: While the subject matter of this episode is not directed to either gender specifically, I feel the need to inform any male listeners of Always, Only that I chose to walk through a larger passage of Scripture in this one. Because of this (and Biblical instructions like 1 Timothy 2:12), I am a little more hesitant to encourage men to listen to this particular episode. That said, I leave the decision up to you. Please proceed according to your own convictions.

 

Bible Passages Referenced: Matthew 23, Matthew 22:34-40

P.S. By the way, I finally figured out that word I was looking for (and agonizing over) – ABSURDITY. *sigh* You can’t get ‘em all I suppose…

It was such an honor to be joined by the creative genius behind RefToons, Paul and Stephanie Cox!

This was a completely off-the-cuff sort of episode.

I was originally planning on getting into some topics that have been on my mind for awhile. But, nope. I guess those episodes will be coming later. ;)

At the time I recorded this one, it was mid-week and I was starting to really feel the pressure of many other responsibilities, commitments, ideas, projects, etc... that I had on the go.

I got to the point where the stress & overwhelm was just too much and I had to get realistic with myself in order to move forward.

This episode is my explanation of how I do exactly that -- how I refocus, figure out what truly matters, and start gettin' back to work.

Hope this method helps you out too!

Dustin Benge and Nate Pickowicz were kind enough to join me on the program to discuss their latest book American Puritans.

If you've ever felt like a huge failure at living for the glory of God, this episode is for you.

I expect that actually covers ALL believers because we are typically painfully aware of our short-comings and stubborn sinful tendencies...

In all seriousness though, this is something that seems to be a massive stumbling-block for many of us.

We WANT to delight in God, to honour Him, submit to Him as Lord, and obey Him faithfully, but we so easily fail, forget, or lose our zeal.

Surely there must be a way to get past this, right??

Well, have a listen to this episode to find the answer. ;)

Bible Passages Referenced: None. Though, Romans 3:23 definitely came to mind... Perhaps it would be worthwhile to read through that whole chapter.

FYI: I am currently working on trying to do more of my episodes unscripted since I have been getting somewhat overwhelmed as soon as I start creating/reading a big outline. So, surprisingly, this episode was made without any sort of outline at all. (Hehe!) It was just an idea that I had stuck in my head and a conversation that I've been having with myself for awhile. Hope it still makes sense and has some logical flow to it! If you feel so inclined to send me a little note, I'd be curious to know if you can notice a difference between my episodes and/or if you prefer one method over the other.

Today I was blessed to have Patrick back for another cross over, discussing Romans 13.

Hello everyone! Just dropping in to bring you some exciting news. We are going to be trying to produce some mega extra content for you in the form of episodes! The catch is this: it will mostly be Emily doing so. Have no fear: Zach will still be here for the regularly scheduled episodes.

Today's episode covers several different points of evangelism, because our guest, Jenifer Pepling, has done a lot. She explains how she came to faith, how she began evangelizing at local college campus', and eventually began working for CCN Change Your Campus. Then she teamed up with Gospel Partner's Media, who puts together Wretched Radio, and was working on getting What Time is Purple out to everyone, before the pandemic. She was still kind enough to join me on the program to discuss sharing the Gospel with college students, as well as many other fun stuff. I hope this episode will be edifying, and encouraging for anyone who struggles with evangelism.
