#166 – Andrew Stroud: The Map to Maturity | Ep 166

True faith for a Christian means you believe in, belong to, and are becoming like Jesus. But the path to that third item – becoming like Jesus, can seem mysterious to many of us.

#164 – Faith Foundations: 4 Truths About Jesus

#155 – Jennelle Sherman: Becoming a Christ Centered Couple

Marriage has been part of God’s plan for humanity from the beginning. It was God who made us male and female and God who said “a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” While two becoming one sounds romantic, in reality it’s often a painful process that God uses to reshape our perspective, our character, and our values. Meanwhile, sin and the fall have greatly damaged us and our understanding and practice of marriage. Is there any hope? Jennelle Sherman is founder of Christ Centered Couple. She and her husband Nathan are committed to helping others find the freedom, intimacy, and joy they have discovered since putting Christ at the center of their marriage. Before starting CCC, Jennelle served on staff for 8 years with The Well Training and Discipleship Ministry in Tampa, FL where she discipled women, lead bible studies, spoke at conferences and actively mentored others. In this episode, Jennelle shares on: • G…

#41 – Hacking the Social Downside of Technology

We are all being shaped by the world around us, sometimes in ways we don't even realize. In the past 15 years technology has accelerated the process in unprecedented ways. Technology has made life more convenient, comfortable and entertaining. But what are the ways it’s negatively influencing us, the culture around us and the society we’re part of? On today’s show we talk about how to hack the downside of technology and share some practical ways we can counteract those negative effects. ---------------------------------------------------------- If you believe in what we're doing and want to help us reach a wider audience, please donate at this link: We are a nonprofit ministry and rely on donations to produce and platform our content.

#38 – Temptation, Sexuality, and Freedom in Christ with Steve Magee

Today we're joined on the podcast by Steve Magee to talk about temptation, sexuality and freedom in Christ. It’s not an overstatement to say the church is in crisis when it comes to this topic. To take just one example, the destructive force of pornography is at epidemic levels in our society today... and inside the church. Statistics show that 68 percent of church-going men and over 50 percent of pastors view porn on a regular basis. It is the silent killer of our devotion to Jesus. But today’s show is about more than just pornography and it's a conversation that is relevant to both men and women. What are the roots of a healthy sexuality and what does it mean to experience freedom in Christ? Give a listen and then let us know what you think. Visit our FB page and join the conversation in the comments under the post for this episode.

#36 – The Timothy Principle: How Small Focus Leads to Big Impact

It’s easy for us to buy into the idea that bigger is always better. But is this the way of Jesus? Is it the way of the apostles we read about in the NT? We hope to convince you that the best way to make a difference in the world is to go small and learn to focus on a few. To follow the model of Jesus himself.

#34 – Being All in for Jesus in Your 30s

A few months back I sat down with Matt for a conversation centered around technology and specifically social media. We talked about opportunities and challenges that technology has presented the church in the 21st century. And we spent some time discussing how all of us as everyday believers can be more mindful of how we live our faith throughout the week, especially when it comes to how we interact on social media. This was a fun conversation! Hope you enjoy and get a lot of value from it.
