The Living Remnant Podcast Brad Williams

Living Remnant wants to challenge you to implement positive habits into your daily life. This is a new style of series for us - we're introducing Living Challenges. We'll break down a specific topic into weekly challenges to help you grow towards your goals and improve your walk with God.

To start this series we tackle something that might be basic to many but also may be very difficult for some if you were like us. We hope you'll join us on this challenge and share your suggestions and experiences with everyone!

Each episode comes about by God's leading and connecting us to certain people in just the perfect time. We are thrilled that we are able to share with you one such connection, Family Dr. Melanie Orange. We truly believe her personal story and experiences will have an impact in other's lives and literally save lives! This is real stuff in practice here, not theories or speculation. Please SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE YOU KNOW WITH DIABETES this could be a catalyst for major lifestyle change!

Dr. Melanie Orange shares with us about how roughly a year ago she was blown away when she stumbled upon classes and research of how WFPBD (Whole Food Plant Based Diet) and lifestyle changes is impacting health. She had never heard of these studies previously but as a Type 1 Diabetic she felt she had to immediately start applying these changes into her personal life.
These changes can be a shock to many who have heard the traditional recommended diet of a diabetic should be low carbs.... but she explains why that's not actually the best diet direction and the Whole Food Plant Based Diet when low fat and removing the animal protein is beneficial. She tells of her own personal journey into the lifestyle changes and some tools and resources she found to help her make the transition.

BUT HERE"S the amazing part.... She found not only in her personal life but her patient's as well, that these changes can be HEALING - medicines reduced, improved health and energy. She was so moved by these results she started presenting lectures at her local church and is putting together programs to help others get access to these resources and studies AND help provide them with practical tools to implement in their own lives.

We pray this blesses you and your loved ones!

Are you concerned about a watered down message of Jesus entering your church? Have you heard of the Emerging Church, have you wondered what it is and means? Have you known of a church that split due to differences in worship styles?

You have to listen to Stephanie's personal story and research. Stephanie Griffin joins us this week to give us some insight into her book "Silence No More" and where the journey has taken her into researching what the movement is really about.

She was recruited under seemingly innocent and genuine help with her prayer life by someone she trusted in a Godly position. It wasn't until after God revealed to her that these theologies were in direct contradiction to His Word and lies about His Character that she began to uncover the system that she was unknowingly involved with for nine years. This movement is sneaking into the back door of our own churches, courting our youth with an allurement of feel good experience, cutting pieces of Jesus and His Word from the message as not important. To be on guard of the wolf in sheep's clothing we need to be armed with awareness so we aren't easily deceived.

We love hearing people's stories, what's on their hearts and what they are passionate about. We also love to hear how amazing young people are on fire for doing God's work. Today we sat down with an amazing young lady, who is very involved in missions aboard and at home. Macaela Strothers is everywhere it seems! She has a beautiful light that shines from within and it's impossible not to get caught up in her joy and energy whether she's playing music or telling a story about cleaning up storm damage while witnessing.
We happen to know Macaela from our church and even though we know how active she is with missions, we were shocked when she said she was just back from a trip to Bolivia with Maranatha - The Ultimate Workout mission trip! We shouldn't be surprised though, you'll understand when you hear her story. This is her Living Remnant Story.

Today's dating scene is more a horror movie to many parents instead of a romance one. When we heard that friends of ours were using the principle of courting with their teenage daughter we had to hear more!
John and Candy Howells were so wonderful to open up about their own experience of courting for each their own second marriage and then how they are using it with their daughter Madison.
It sounds something way too old to be even possible for today's world... but we had to admit by the end of this discussion we were intrigued and can see some benefits to creating this safe space for young adults to focus on a future marriage bond than letting hormones lead them to "practicing" for someday. A set of boundaries can give pause to really seek God's approval in the union instead of getting so caught up in emotions.
We hope you will find this helpful as we did, that you find something in their stories that can benefit your families lives. Thank you Howells' we really enjoyed this chat!

This week Brad has the opportunity to sit down with Peter Cousins and Don Williams for a Bible study on God’s Core 4 Promises.
Peter Cousins is the principal at Tri-City Christian Academy and today he takes us through a deeply profound study that peels back another layer of the beauty found in scripture.
We begin at Hebrews 8:6 and introduce the difference between old covenant and new covenant promises, and more importantly the new covenant, the new promises are ultimately so much better. Then Peter takes us through the CORE FOUR. Throughout the Bible there are promises, and these core four promises can be found in them from Genesis 3:15 all the way through the Bible to Revelation 14:7. Join us for this amazing study.
