    The Rise of Christian Media

    Send us a text Audio Note: One of our microphones has a slight echo in this episode. Thanks for bearing with us—despite the technical hiccup, the conversation is strong and we believe it’s worth sharing. Christian and Biblically inspired media is on the rise, offering new ways to share faith and spark spiritual conversations. But is it actually helping people grow, or becoming a substitute for real Bible study and discipleship? In this episode, we explore the strengths and shortcomings of this trend and what role Christian media should—and shouldn’t—play in evangelism today. Does Christian media serve as a replacement for searching the scriptures for you? Does the media you consume inspire you to pursue a perishable wreath, or the everlasting crown of life? Give us your answers in the comments below.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

    Jesus Believes in Karma?

    Send us a text There’s a difference between consequence and karma. What does the Bible say about karma, and did Jesus believe in this concept? Looking at Job there is a concept that is explored about judgement, consequence, karma, and punishment in our experience. There is correction that God offers to the friends of Job and their opinion of how God operates. There is little cut and dry understanding to God’s judgement. It is the tendency of man to reduce God to our level.  Works based salvation is something that can corrupt our understanding of our own role in our experience after this life. The. Christian understand that we need God. We can’t self help our way to the next life. We can self help our way to be a better person! Eternal consequences rely on what Jesus did for us.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

    God Will Always Listen to Your Prayers

    Send us a text An encouraging passage is when Saul of Tarsus, the great persecutor of the early church, was praying continually to God. Guilty of doing wrong to Jesus, Saul is not in a good state with his salvation. Ananias is told that God is listening to the continuous prayer of Saul.  What does that mean for those who are searching and trying to understand Jesus and God? If you are inspired to speak to God, that channel is always open. This should be encouraging to anyone everywhere, that their prayers will be heard.  To seek God earnestly, means He will move to open that door you are knocking on. The Bible says Jesus is standing at the door and knocks for you to open it to Him. Will you open that door to Him? ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church?

    Why Would a Good God Allow Evil, Pain, and Suffering?

    Send us a text This question wracks many with doubt. It is one that has been attempted to be answered for millennia. The long answer attempts to dissect this complex question into smaller and more congruent pieces.  Is God good? Many life philosophies attempt to prove God isn’t good, or simply isn’t there at all. The Bible has a vast amount of writing on this subject. There is a God, and He is good.  Does God allow bad things on this Earth? Yes. He does not snap these things out of existence. That also does not make Him bad.  Pain and suffering are presented as tools, first as consequence of mankind, and then as causes intended to inspire you to draw closer to goodness, and therefore God.  Evil is another concept altogether. The Bible speaks of God destroying evil once during the flood. Then, God sent His Son to atone for the sins of man. Jesus’s sacrifice on the cross and subsequent resurrection is the victory over evil. No power can hold God.  Context is important when you consider eternity. A light momentary affliction is nothing compared to what is to come.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions? Need help finding a church? Drop us a line.

    Examining The Great Commission - Christopher Baidoo-Essien

    Send us a text We are pleased to welcome author and researcher Christopher Baidoo-Essien discussing his book Examining the Great Commission. Writing about scripture takes time, thought, perspective, and patience. One of the unique things about the Bible is the text can be understood deeper the longer you live with it.  Maturing in faith has its roots based in thinking. The Bible instructs to meditate on it day and night. The more we can think, the more connects that can be drawn to bring the scriptures to light.  This is how we can make disciples of all the nations, having a relationship with Jesus.  ===== Searching for answers to life’s questions?
