Well Said

Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us, “and let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” But, why?! What actually happens when we gather? Why is it so important? Join Mary and Tory as they discuss on this episode of Well Said.

In this episode we have a special guest, Carlos Jones, discussing why we tend to not share the gospel. Although tools, methods, Biblical reasoning, etc. are all helpful, the biggest motivator towards sharing our faith is not found in methods, but in our relationship with Jesus. If we love him, if we frequently encounter Him, we’ll share not out of duty or obligation, we’ll share out of joy and for more joy. Join us as a meditate on the goodness of Jesus together!

In this episode, Tory and Mary continue their conversation on lament. How do we move from sorrow to laughter? How do we receive good in the midst of loss, disappointment, anger, etc.? Can you hold sorrow and joy? How do we learn to trust Him? How do we see suffering as a good gift from our loving Lord? For truly, “the heart of the wise is in the house of mourning (Ecc. 7:4).”

You asked and we answered! In this episode of Well Said, Mary and Tory answer listeners' submitted questions on spiritual warfare. Can believers be possessed? Why does spiritual warfare seem more “obvious” in other countries compared to America? We walk through passages such as Saul raising Samuel from the dead and discuss why the disciples couldn’t drive out the demon in Mark 9. Listen in for these and many more. We hope you enjoy our first Q&A episode!

Acts 17:24-25 says, “The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth does not live in temples made by man, nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” Why does God, who owns everything and can control everything, call for our generosity? What are we called to be generous with? Scripture is clear that God commands us to be generous people, but why? What if generosity was actually designed for our benefit? What if God wants something for us, not from us? Join us as we answer these questions and more on this episode of Well Said.

Ephesians 2:10 tells us, “for we are his (God’s) workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” God has graciously given us characteristics of Himself and a part to play in His grand plan to reconcile and redeem all things. But, how do we know we are living in the giftings and calling that God has for us? What does calling look like in the bible? Do natural and spiritual gifts matter? How about our unique passions and desires? What about the words of those in our community? If we don’t know what are gifting and calling is are we missing out? Join us as we discuss finding and living into our gifting and calling.
