Having Coffee with John Mac Jessie McClain

Today we discuss modesty for both men and women.  

There is no set rule on what modest is. It doesn't even give a clear cut description in the Word. Wear this, but not this. Aside from the things that are obviously immodest a lot of modesty involves your walk with Christ, your obedience to Christ, and your full surrender to Christ. Everything else follows. It all has to flow from the heart. It starts in the inside and manifests eventually on the outside.  So what is Christian modesty? How do you stay biblical in an every changing, trendy, and modern world? Here's our take on it.  

PSA: I should say this is how we live and our interpretation on the matter. We do NOT come in with condemnation and judgement. We know that we know that we know that that is not OUR place and we would never place ourselves on the judgement seat. Judging others is something that goes against our values and everything we believe in. So in no way during this conversation are we intending to do that.  

"Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God?  You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Today we talk about encouragement and what this means to a child. It's truly a wonderful thing that we use for our kids. We encourage them in what they hope for and also in their faith!

We are not perfect. 

But we do try:)

Today is a hard discussion filled with a lot of wrecked emotions and too many painful tears. It's also a tribute to my pop (grandpa) who just passed (at such a young age for a grandpa). We are only two weeks in. The wounds so fresh and raw.  

How do you live with grief? How do you form a life around the ever so present missing pieces of a loved one? How do you live a life that is worthy to bear that love?  

A tribute to Pop.   Father, grandfather, husband, brother, servant of Christ and others, and very best friend.  If you've experienced grief, let's talk. I am convinced that the hurting can spot the hurting in the middle of a chaotic world.

Let's talk!  

So we heard there is not only a U.S population decline, but a WORLD population decline. And, yes, with humans.   This was read, by me, in a legit (neither left nor right leaning) article. They're speculating seeing the affects by mid-century folks.  

What does this even mean for us and the future?  

Join in the chat and tell us what you think.

In this episode we get personal about our life, how we met, the tragedy and blessings behind this, and the decisions that we have made to get to where we are today.  We hold a true belief that every decision is vital. Even if that decision seems so small. 

We talk about our personal experiences of how the smallest decision to just go somewhere can have profound effects on your future, life, and even the generations to come.  

The butterfly effect is defined as: (in chaos theory) the phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere. (Webster's Dictionary).  

The butterfly effect is a theory that if a butterfly flaps it's wings across the world it can seemingly effect the other side of the world (positive or negative).  

Our story is someone else's story. We are all interconnected into this great tale that not even the best writer in the world could make up. The choices that we make can very much shape us. We just have to remember that God has overall control of how our life will be. Does this mean we blame God for our bad choices? No. Our choices still matter. They still define. They lead us to our fate and destiny determined by God.  



We just have to surrender control.  We'd love to hear your idea about decisions, the butterfly effect, or anything else that is on your mind!  Comment and subscribe.  I'm also going to leave the link to the YouTube channel.

Today we discuss our innate craving to surrender and let go. To just give away the burdens and pressure that we carry like heavy luggage everyday. How can we do this?

Are you curious?

Because there is a way...
