On Episode 47 of What Now we ask the question, what about bitterness towards church?

Whether it is us or a friend, family member or our One, bitterness towards the church can be a tough hurdle to jump over. In the letter to Ephesus we look at Paul, who is locked up in prison and yet telling people to forgive -- a pretty radical statement for what was going on. So what do we do if we or the people around us are bitter?

What now?

1. Start a relationship with Jesus

2. Start a relationship with the people around you

On Episode 46 of What Now with Anna & Eric we talk about distractions.

There are multiple verses in the Bible that talk about where our focus is. One is in the story of Martha who is distracted by serving, Paul's letter to Corinth talks about distraction from responsibility, Jesus talked about distraction from worry, and Paul talks about the pull that sin has on us. Throughout these verses we are called to DO something, to set our hearts, meditate and think (focus) on what is good. Where's you focus?

What now?

1. Identify what distracts you
2. Take action to focus on God

Welcome to the What Now? Thanksgiving Special where we ask the questions: 1) What would I be thankful for on a deserted island? 2) How can I survive Black Friday? 3) Have I thanked God as much as I've asked him for things?

In Episode 44 of What Now with Anna & Eric we ask the question, what should I know to tell?

When people asked Jesus questions he didn't always answer them. Often he asked questions of his own. So if Jesus, who knew all the answers, didn't feel it necessary to answer all questions about faith then perhaps we shouldn't be worried about it. You don't have to know all the answers or all the information. Having said that, there is some information you should know.

What now?

1. Practice sharing the "Good News"
2. Practice how to lead someone in a prayer to accept Jesus

On Episode 42 of What Now? with Anna & Eric we ask the question, what do students have to do with spiritual growth?

Ultimately, our spiritual growth doesn't end with us. If we are solely focused on our own growth and our own relationship with Jesus we haven't fulfilled the true call of the kingdom of God. One way to do this is to speak into the lives of the next generation. Everybody needs someone to see them, and when we see and speak into students we can radically change their lives.

What next?

Ask yourself, who will you see?
