  • Greed vs. Generosity
    Nov 19 2024

    How often does our vision for something differ from God's sovereign vision —making us blind to the blessing? Our latest episode is a challenge to rethink the common notions of greed and generosity, especially as the holiday season underscores the tension between gratitude and consumerism. We explore how societal norms can obscure the real condition of the heart, making it easy to overlook the subtle ways in which greed infiltrates both our personal and collective lives.

    Topics Discussed
    • Exploring the Sin and Root of Greed
    • Trusting God's Provision and Sufficiency
    • Radical Generosity and Faith in Abundance
    • The Power of Generosity

  • Gluttony vs Contentment
    Nov 12 2024

    Where do we go in times of need and comfort? How can we think about comforts as an invitation to rely more on Christ and not on the temporary fixes of this world? On this episode, we explore the concept of gluttony: what is it and what does the Bible have to say about it? By examining the impact of modern habits like phone overuse or streaming services, we highlight how distractions can distance us from genuine connection with God and others and make finding contentment elusive.

    • Gluttony and Generosity
    • Recognizing Personal Accountability
    • The Concept of Gluttony in Scripture
    • Parable of the Man and Barns
    • The Concept of Gratitude Versus Gluttony

  • Election Surprises and the Human Side of Politics
    Nov 8 2024

    President Trump secures a historic second term, defying predictions and shocking many. On this episode, we discuss the unexpected election results that left many, including pollsters, scratching their heads. We explore the shifting demographics in key swing states like Ohio and Florida and how Trump managed to capture the allegiance of independent voters more effectively this time around.

    The emotional rollercoaster of the election aftermath isn't lost on us. For some it was cause for celebration, others a point of grief, and others still left not knowing how to feel. We hope to remind listeners that now is a great opportunity to show empathy and offer the hope of Jesus that supersedes any earthly kingdom.

    • Election Results Discussion
    • Post-Election Reflection and Advice
    • Voter Motivation and Platform
    • Future of Pro-Life Candidates
    • Demographics and Political Shifting
    • Navigating Conversations With Non-Believing Neighbors
