PP164 Addictions: A Biblical Understanding & Response
A longer episode, but an important one! Many of us struggle with addictive behaviour. The addiction may be simple and not seem to harmful at the moment, but it can quickly become complex and lead us into deeper sin. Guest host, Josh Smith (M.A. in Counseling, LPC in the State of Michigan), helps us to understand what addictions are, why we struggle with them, and most importantly, how we can overcome them by the grace of God. The discussion near the end on the four tools of the enemy (Access, Appetite, Anonymity, and Atheism) are particularly helpful. Josh has also provided these links as further resources for you on this topic.Powerful Talk on Overcoming AddictionThe Secret of AddictionAnother Message on Overcoming AddictionRescue Plan BookAddiction: A Banquet in the Grave Book

PP163 The Imago Dei: What It Means and Why It Matters
What does it mean that we are made in God's image? Christians over the centuries have arrived at different answers. Mike surveys four views — resemblance, representation, relational, and reflection — and then, much to Matthew's delight, declares all of them right! This doctrine serves as a reminder of the sanctity of human life and calls us to treat one another with the utmost respect and dignity, knowing that how we treat others reflects our treatment of God himself.
Scriptures Referenced:Gen 1:26-28, 5:1-3, 9:5-6; 1Sam 6:5; Psa 8; Col 1:15, 3:10

Customer Reviews
Encouraging
I really appreciated the honest conversations in episodes 139 and 140. It’s always encouraging to hear about someone finding the goodness of God in the midst, and at the end, of hard times, when they can look back and see how He was working all things together for good. So thank you!
Great to listen to
Thank you for this podcast! I love the conversation format and the practical insight. As a teen newly accepted into fellowship, I benefit greatly from this podcast. The practical applications are so helpful! One thing I would suggest is having some female presence on the podcast to add even more relatability. Again, thank you so much!
Truth in Love
As a stay at home, struggling daily with depression and anxiety, this podcast often is a life raft that keeps my head above water, as I continue to learn and trust that Solid Rock that will never move. The waves of despair may keep tearing me down, but I am learning that my foundation is firm, I will not/cannot be broken.
The balance of truth in love in these men are inspiring, hopeful and Christ like. Keep balancing that tight rope of truth and love:) Christ is doing an awesome work in you both!!
