Blessed Life Fellowship Andrew Robbins

"Safe space" is a cultural concept introduced by certain groups in universities and some work places designed to protect people from criticism, harassment, or discrimination.  While this is well-intentioned perhaps, by trying to protect people from ever experiencing anything difficult, we inadvertently create emotionally weak people who can't handle adversity.  But this "safe space" mentality has crept into even the church, resulting in a church culture where people don't know how to deal with conflict nor control their emotions.  The outcome is a church culture of cry babies and whiners.  But God wants to move us beyond a safe space mentality to a brave space mentality so we can learn to be spiritual champions.  

BLF elder Brent Denney discusses need-to-know information on walking in the Spirit.

NFL player Harrison Butker has been under heavy verbal attack in the past week for his pro-family speech at a commencement ceremony.  Harrison Butker sees various social issues through the lens of the Word of God, which has gotten him attacked and called a white supremicist, racist, and male chauvinist.  Yet the Bible does address some of the most difficult and volatile issues of our time, and it would be good if more of God's people knew what His Word says about these things and stood up to proclaim them.  Truth is not changeable with the times, but is immutable.  We address several "taboo" social issues in this teaching from the perspective of God's immutable Word.  Buckle up!    

In this follow up to last week's teaching, BLF elder Brent Denney extends the topic of godly mothering to not only the biological role but to the extension of that role beyond the household.  

BLF elder Brent Denney offers some timeless principles on mothers that will benefit both mothers and those mothers serve.  

In this teaching, Pastor Andy and wife Donna tag-team for a panel discussion of sorts addressing matters of child rearing and training.  This session is packed full of parenting wisdom from the scriptures plus 30 years of experience from Pastor Andy and Donna.
