    Episode 52: Not My Jesus (ft. Shane Pruitt)

    In the last couple of years, the world we live in has gotten more "spiritual." Religion is starting to creep back up the interest charts, and people now are accepting of conversations about faith. Here's the question: What exactly are we believing in? Are we surrendering to the Jesus of the Bible, or have we made up our own version of who we want Jesus to be? Who is Jesus, really? In this week's episode, Ryan is joined by Shane Pruitt, who answers these questions and talks about his recent book, Not My Jesus! Shane Pruitt is a church planter, a pastor, an author, and a traveling evangelist. Shane has spent over 20 years in ministry and currently serves as the National NextGen Director for the North American Mission Board, while also writing numerous books such as Not My Jesus: Reclaiming Truth, Rejecting the Idols.

In this week's episode, Ryan encourages us to view ourselves the way God views ourselves and how that changes everything about who we are.

    Episode 49: The Sin That's Stealing Your Joy

    There's a silent sin amongst Christians today that is affecting us more than we think - holding grudges. Bitterness and resentment are often byproducts of being easily offended, and the Bible offers us help on how to avoid these deadly things in our lives. In the cancel culture we live in, being offended is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we have to live offended. In this week's episode, Ryan talks about the reality of holding grudges and equips us on how to overlook offenses in our life.
