We are the One: Christianity and Mental Health with Travis Reinold

In this podcast, we discuss the 4 different types of soils that Jesus refers to in Matthew 13 and Luke 8.  It helps us understand the difference between the unbeliever (1st soil) and the believer (other 3 soils).  Further, it explains what keeps believers from producing fruit in their Christian lives (2nd and 3rd soils).   

In this podcast, we'll discuss the importance of family and seven divine purposes: 1) fellowship and community; 2) leadership; 3) a proper place for sex; 4) financial provision; 5) spiritual instruction 6) loving discipline, and 7) a place to model Christ to the unsaved world. 

In this podcast we discuss how and when we need to separate ourselves from other people  in order to grow closer to God.  Also, we discuss the importance of separating ourselves from false Biblical teaching.    

Does the gift of Tongues still exist, or has it ceased?  And what about the gifts of prophecy and knowledge?  

How do we balance our liberty as Christians while meeting people where they're at?  And in a politically sensitive world, is it always wrong to offend someone else?     

When we make mistakes in the Christian life, it's easy to underestimate the grace of God and believe that God's plan for us has changed.  For example, we may think that we're no longer qualified to go into the ministry based upon bad choices we've made in our past.  However, a Biblical study of Abraham shows that even when we struggle with faith and obedience, God doesn't quit on us.  

The story of Elijah at the Juniper Tree is an encouraging reminder that all believers struggle and have setbacks.  It's also a humble reminder that our expectations and plans for bringing glory to God can sometimes lead to discouragement when things don't go as we planned.  

Persecution is ramping up in our country.  In this episode we share the story of a believer at a military academy, and we discuss how to stay calm in the midst of a world filled with evil and cruelty.  

What does it mean to "do no harm?"  Are our best intentions actually causing harm to one another?  Is it okay to sacrifice one person for the "greater good?"  In this podcast, we get more specific regarding how Christians should think and act in an environment of mask mandates and vaccines. 

In this podcast, we'll discuss the difference between Freewill and Predestination.  And we'll explain the significance to our relationship with God.
