Today, I discuss the fallacy of the current clamor in our culture for justice. Many believe that there isn't enough "justice" being done in our society and they wonder, "When will we receive justice?" If we consider this question from a theological/biblical perspective, those who ask this question might reconsider! As followers of Christ, we must be willing to ask those in society hard questions - I share some at the end of the episode.

Ep. 81 | When Will I Receive Justice?

Watching the narrative that is occurring amongst Christians and as Christians relate to our culture has caused me frustration because many people are trying to accommodate Jesus' teaching to the current "moral" trends in our culture. ("Moral" being in quotes because our culture defining evil as good and good evil). This is my rant against the misuse and misappropriation of Jesus' teachings. 

Ep. 80 | How Much Do You Love Jesus?

Many people want better intimacy in their marriage - and sadly, too many of them turn to gimmicks to try to achieve it. This episode examines some of the external and internal causes for the difficulties we experience in intimacy and it will suggest specific areas of improvement for both husbands and wives. 

Ep. 79 | Building Better Intimacy

In this episode, I discuss four purposes for intimacy given to us by God from His Word. 

Ep. 78 | God's Purposes for Intimacy

This episode begins by tackling some of the misconceptions regarding intimacy that have been taught in Christianity then seeks to define and discuss why the "one flesh" relationship is unique, precious, and is worthy of cultivation. 

Ep. 77 | The One Flesh Relationship

I explain four Biblical principles that ought to govern the thinking of Christians as they consider how to spend the resources that God has entrusted to them. 

Ep. 76 | How to Prioritize Spending in Marriage

Two parts in this episode: 1) Your money management often reveals how you have applied other Biblical principles in marriage, such as your practice of headship/submission and communication and 2) What is the foundational principle that couples should use when determining how to manage their money? 

Ep 75 | Money in Marriage

Though aimed at married couples, the Biblical principles in this podcast can apply to any relationship. May you be blessed and challenged by the truth of God's Word! 

Ep. 74 | Resolving Problems in Communication

Ep. 73 | Thoughts on 2020

Just like husbands, wives need to also work on speech transformation.  This episode covers one of the reasons why speech transformation is critically important for wives, as well as two Biblical commands that will aid wives in speaking in a God-honoring manner.  Remember, whether you think your husband deserves "nice" speech or not, your speech must always be pleasing to Christ first! 

Ep. 72 | Speech Transformation for Wives

Men, we are leaders in our speech whether we realize it or not (and whether we like it or not!) Our wives and our children are learning from our speech patterns - therefore, we must be diligent to cultivate godly and god-honoring speech habits.  This episode will focus specifically on three areas where you can become more Christlike in your speech with your wives. 

Ep. 71 | Speech Transformation for Husbands

Our speech says much about us - and God has much to say about our speech!  A quick survey of the NT reveals that "speech acts" - whether sinful or godly - are a common topic in the Epistles. The NT authors focus on changing our speech, from that which is wicked to that which is righteous.  Today's episode examines Ephesians 4:24-30 and two specific ways that we can be more Christ-like in our speech. 

Ep. 70 | Speech Transformation, part 1

Key Question: Do you realize that your speech patterns and speech acts are a window to your inner person? Jesus points this out in Matthew 15:15-20Next question: How humble are you willing to be to transform from sinful speech habits to godly speech habits?  

Ep. 69 | Part 1: Communication through Speech

Continuing the discussion on what makes a good listener and good listening habits.  Deals specifically with how to come to agreement upon subjects that you don't agree.  Answers the question: What if the body language/tone doesn't match the words that are spoken? Should I trust the words or the body language? 

Ep. 68 | part 2 of Communication by Listening

Can you hear me now? A ubiquitous phrase brought to national consciousness due to clever marketing. But do you ever say that to your spouse and wonder if they're really listening to what you have to say?  I discuss a definition of true listening and then describe various responses to listening, ending with James' admonition to be "quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to become angry". Part 1 of 2  

Ep. 67 | Communication by Listening

Contending Earnestly for the Faith - by study and by practice!
