  • WHAT is prayer and WHY should we pray? // Upstream TV Episode 17

    In this episode of the Upstream TV Podcast, Sami and Joe cover the topic "WHAT is prayer and WHY should we pray?" So often we heard about prayer in the sense of praying to receive something. The world sees prayer sometimes as a "genie in a bottle". We wanted to take a deep look at what the Bible says about prayer and discuss why God gave us the ability to pray. We also cover the topic "why pray if God is completely sovereign", which is a common one in Chrisitianity. We hope you enjoy this week's episode!

  • How To Study And Apply The Bible To Our Lives // Upstream TV Episode 16

    In this episode of the Upstream TV Podcast, Sami and Joe are back together to bring a solid topic for us all to chew on. This week we are talking about studying and applying the Bible to our lives. We so often can look at scripture and be intimidated because it is hard to relate to words written so long ago, but when we use this practical approach to the Bible called "S.O.A.P" we can apply the words we study better to our lives.
