What Are We Even Doing Here?

Karen was away this week and we thought we wouldn't have an episode for you.  But my friend James Watkins of the 5 Solas Podcast and 5 Solas Ministries asked me to be a guest on his show.  He was nice enough to allow us to put this on our show as well.  I hope you are encouraged and educated by our discussion about things that are commonly said by Christians that the Bible actually doesn't say or teach.

Here is a special episode recorded with James Watkins of the 5 solas podcast. Daryl and James discuss the "P" in TULIP, (aka Doctrines of Grace), which stands for Perseverance of the Saints. Please go check out James' entire series over at the 5 Solas podcast where he has an episode on each letter or doctrine. We will be back next week!

Thanks for listening!

On this episode we are joined by James Watkins of the 5 Solas Podcast, and his wife Shelby, to talk about being foster parents. James and Selby are in the process of being lisenced and we have had our first foster baby for 6 months. We discuss fears, joys, and everything in between when it comes to being a foster parent. We hope this episode encourages you if you are thinking about fostering or have been a foster parent for any amount of time. Be blessed and make sure you subscribe to the 5 Solas Podcast and all the podcasts in the Christian Podcast Community.

What Are We Even Doing Here Training Up A Child by Daryl and Karen Updike

On this episode we announce some exciting news. We have joined the Christian Podcast Community. The community of podcastsers we have joined with are outstanding and it’s an honor to be with them. On this episode Daryl describes a little bit of each show and hints at some exciting things coming in the future of this podcast. Looking forward to our new relationship with the Christian Podcast Community and we hope you go and listen to all the shows that are there.

On this week’s episode we sit down with two people who have meant a lot to us in our walk with Christ. Pastor Luke Fraser and his wife Ashlee Fraser are great friends and have always been encouraging. Pastor Luke is the pastor of Island Baptist Church in Beach Haven, NJ. We sit down and discuss doing ministry as husband and wife, balancing that as parents, homeschool, and what they have seen God doing with His church at the beach in NJ. We appreciated them talking with us and hosting us in their house for the weekend. I hope you are encouraged and uplifted by this conversation. Follow their ministry on Facebook and YouTube.

Join us this week as we discuss Allie Stuckey's recent episode with Matt Walsh on her podcast "Relatable," comparing Catholicism and Protestantism.

We are also joined by our special guests and neighbor Erica Layton!

Join us today as we discuss why is it so hard to share the gospel with our family and close friends? We don't have all the answers but we will talk it out and hopefully you will be more encouraged and emboldened to do so more often! Happy Easter!
