What’s the Breakdown?

What does it mean to follow Jesus?  When we say we believe in Christ, what we really mean is we believe Christ.  This means we obey Him because He IS God and His word IS truth.  When Jesus gives hard teachings about sacrifice and what we must be willing to face and give up in order to follow Him, do we really believe it?  Can we look like the world and still follow Jesus?  Can we find our identity in the things of the world and simultaneously be found in Christ?  Join us today as we talk about counting the cost of following the Savior!

As Christians, what kind of music should we listen to? What does it mean for a song or a concert to be "Christian"?  Is there a particular style that is God's favorite?  What should we be looking for in the music we use to give God glory and to sing His praises?  What kind of things should we avoid?  Music is one of the greatest vehicles to teach God's word but unfortunately many people will choose a song that makes them feel some sort of emotion over a song that is theologically rich and accurate.  Join us today as we discuss Christian music!

Should Christians give to the church?  Is it required?  How much should a believer give?  Does it have to be 10%?  Is the New Testament church still under the tithing required in the Old Testament?  Join us today as we examine the idea of giving and what it says about the heart of the believer.

The Bible tells us that we are to share the good news of Christ with others.  We should be excited to let others know about this God-Man who died for our sins, was resurrected and ascended to the Father.  Our lives should demonstrate a noticeable change that has been caused and continued by the Holy Spirit living in us.  Each of us, as Christians, have a story of when Christ changed our lives.  What is your story like?  You need to share your testimony with others because no one else can.  Only you can tell what God actually did, and is doing, in your life.  Let your light shine and proudly tell about your encounter with the Savior of the world.  This testimony will continue to grow and be added to as you grow in your faith.  Keep shouting it from the rooftops!

Why should someone be baptized?  When should someone get baptized?  Should it be by immersion?  There are many questions in regards to baptism but one of the most highly discussed topics is that of "Infant baptism".  Should infants be "baptized"?  Why is this practiced in certain denominations?  Does it regenerate the child so they can respond to God?  Does it wash away his/her "original sin"?  Is this the New Testament's version of circumcision and including the child into the covenant family?  We will address all those questions and more on today's episode!

There is a problem in the world and it has effected us all.  The problem is sin.  What is it?  How bad is it?  So many, even in the church, are justifying their mistakes and rebellion against God.  We don't want to feel bad about what we do but instead of turning from our sin and obeying God, we often come up with ways to feel "okay" about what we are doing.  We may twist the scriptures, or find someone who teaches what we want to hear or who makes us feel good about ourselves.  However, God's law and standard doesn't pass away- we are called to obey Him.  Join us today as we dive into this foundational truth in the Christian faith about our sin and our need for a Savior.

What does the Bible say about the roles in the church?  What is an elder?  What is a deacon?  Can anyone be a pastor?  Can women preach in the church?  What about exceptions like Phoebe, Deborah, etc.?  These are all questions that are asked and debated over within the church today.  However, in many respects, the Bible is very clear where God stands on these questions.  Join us today as we look at what scripture says about the roles in the church.

In an over-sexualized and liberal culture, how should Christians understand and deal with the topics of homosexuality and transgenderism?  There are many in the Christian community who have begun to tolerate, accept and ultimately celebrate these different lifestyles, even though they are contrary to God's word.   These topics bring out strong emotions on all sides but what does the Bible actually say?  How can a Christian glorify God and love everyone the same way Christ loved us?  Join us for today's episode!

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the single greatest event in the history of time.  It changed EVERYTHING!  As a matter of fact, the entire Christian faith rests on this event...  But do you know why it is so important?  Did Jesus really resurrect?  What happened leading up to this event and did any of it matter?  Join us on today's episode as we discuss "Why Easter?"

Why do bad things happen to good people?  How can God allow tragedy and suffering to persist in this world?  Many people out there today (Christian and non-Christian alike) have questions like these.  It can be hard to reconcile the hardships of life with our faith sometimes.  But what does the Bible say about these things?  We need to allow God to speak truth into our hearts and minds in regards to the tragedies of life.  Join us today as we look at how God can bring "Beauty from Ashes".
