What do you do when someone starts questioning your beliefs? How do you respond when you don't have an answer for their questions? People put Christianity to the test all the time, and sometimes that means believers getting put on the spot. In this episode we talk practical advice for dealing with the critics in your life.

Finding God in a Modern World

Defending Your Faith Part 1

There seems to be no end to the different denominations within the global church, and each one seems to have its own spin on what it means to be a follower of Jesus. How can a person manage to find a church that will help them foster their faith and grow in their discipleship when the choices are so overwhelming? In this episode we take a closer look at the various positions within Christian religious thought and try to make some sense of it all.

Losing My Religion

In the final episode of this three part series we trace a line of similarities all the way from Jacob in Genesis to the apostle Paul in the Book of Acts. We explore the calling of both men and their struggles with God and try to find meaning in the hardship and suffering that often falls on the heads of Jesus followers.Music: Inspiring and Upbeat, Dream Come True, by Scott Holmes 

Wrestling With God Part 3

In this episode we continue to examine the strange story of Jacob wrestling with God at Peniel. Following the theme of wrestling with God into the New Testament, we find some haunting truths in an all too familiar story of loss and tragedy. 

Wrestling With God Part 2

Sometimes life gets hard. And when life gets hard sometimes we start asking some hard questions. And that can bring answers that we don't want to hear. How do we navigate through times in our lives like that and why does it feel like wrestling with God?Music: Inspiring and Upbeat, and Little Idea by Scott Holmes Music

Wrestling With God Part 1

Sex is one of the most powerful and scandalous things on the planet. But it is also one of the foundations of God's plan for His creation. How did something so integral to God's plan become so wicked and taboo? The answer begins in Genesis and leads all the way through the Bible.Music: Upbeat and Inspiring and Dream Come True by Scott Holmes

Let's Talk About Sex

The internet is exploding with the news of Kanye West's new gospel album and his apparent conversion to Christianity. Is it true? Has Kanye really given his life over to following Jesus? And how will this effect his career? Kanye's new album, "Jesus is King" is making waves, and I felt like I might as well throw in my two cents on the whole ordeal.

The Perplexing Conversion of Kanye West

The Bible says in the Book of Hebrews that faith is the conviction of things unseen, but how well does that hold up in a world of science and proof? Is it enough to just believe, without having the evidence to really back that faith up? Or is there evidence that we just aren't seeing because we don't look in the right places? Great questions. Let's try to dig up some answers.Music: "Upbeat and Inspiring" and "Oceans Apart" by Scott Holmes

Faith Without Sight

War has been a common theme in our last few episodes, and continuing with that theme this episode we take a look at the role that we play as soldiers for Jesus. Whether you realize it or not, followers of Jesus are called to be soldiers in an ongoing battle against the forces that rebel against God's sovereign rule. But if you are going to enlist, you had better know who to fight and what to fight them with.

A Soldier For Jesus

God requires sacrifice, the Bible says so, but why? What was up with killing all those animals in the Old Testament era, and what does it mean to the Jesus followers of today? In this episode we take a look at those questions and how they relate to Jesus' command to take up our cross and follow Him.Music: "Inspiring and Upbeat", "Everest" and "Dream Come True" by Scott Holmes.

Daily Sacrifice

The Book of Joshua in the Bible's Old Testament chronicles the bloody conquest of the nation of Israel in the land of Canaan, a land promised to them by God Himself hundreds of years before. But why the need for war and violence? Is Yahweh not a God of peace and love? So many people have trouble making sense of what seems to be a glaring contradiction in the character of God. Can we reconcile this war and bloodshed? I believe we can, but in order to do so we must turn to the life and teachings of Jesus.

War. What is it Good For?

Christians often find themselves entangled in the argument against support of the LGBT community. Are Christians meant to be right winged and labelled intolerant, or should we lean more to the left and be supportive of alternative lifestyles? Getting caught up in political debates does not suit the Church well, and individual Christians need to know how they should react to people who live or support these lifestyles. The answers for all questions regarding righteous living lie in the words of Jesus; this debate is no exception.Music: "Upbeat and Inspiring," "Little Idea," and "Dream Come True" by Scott Holmes, https://scottholmesmusic.com/

Gay Pride and Christian Prejudice

An attempt to make some sense out of the laws of the Old Testament in regards to how they relate and remain relevant to an ever changing modern society, which can be accomplished only through an understanding of Jesus and His relationship with the Torah.

Understanding The Law

A look into the heart of one of the Bible's most import theological aspects, forgiveness. God has forgiven us through Jesus's sacrifice and new life; how then does that affect our forgiveness toward others?

Forgiveness

Continuing on the theme of suffering as a follower of Christ we explore an interesting analogy from a man of God who knew all about suffering, Paul of Tarsus. What does it mean to persevere under persecution, and how can we link this to obedience and righteousness? Let's find out.
