    We Read a Christian Perspective on Trauma and It Fascinated Us!

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. We recently found a Christians perspective on dealing with trauma, and it fascinated us. For decades, we modern people in the western world ignored trauma, and now some seem to be over obsessed with trauma. We've lost a Christian, biblical balance.    What is the Christian perspective? How can we be honest about it in our own lives without losing hope? How do we deal with trauma without succumbing to its bewitching temptation? What does Christ say about trauma?    Join us for this podcast as we talk about what God has put on our hearts.    Link to article on trauma: Make resilience cool again | WORLD (wng.org) And join our course on "Living an Examined Life" by clicking here: Living An Examined Life (thenobleheart.com) For more information about Gary or Sam visit their websites: The Noble Heart Exploring Intimate Theology - Beliefs of the Heart.

  2. The Spiritual Value of an Examined Life

    The Spiritual Value of an Examined Life

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. In our fifteen years of working together, Gary and I realize that God has put a few key messages on our hearts: Calling, Hearing God, Friendship, Humility … … and the incredible spiritual value of Living an Examined Life. Christian self-examination is not narcissistic self-preoccupation, nor is it is morbid self-flagellation. Christian self-examination is the learned skill of breaking free from the things that hold us back and the awakened spiritual recognition of the talents God has planted in us for His Kingdom. It’s a jail-break seminar coupled with spiritual-investment counseling. Join us for this podcast as we talk about what God has put on our hearts.

  3. Serving the Lord for the Reward

    Serving the Lord for the Reward

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. At the very beginning of the book of Job, Satan asks God, "Does Job serve God for nothing?" And, honestly, we should all ask ourselves the same question. Do we serve God for God Himself, or do we USE Him to get crowns and gold stars? It is ever-so-easy to serve God for honor-roll children and Facebook likes. It is ever-so-easy to use God's glory for our hidden purposes. In this episode, Gary and Sam share their reflections on Oswald Chambers' February 5 Devotional: Do we serve God to be the Hero, or are we willing to serve God even if it means we'll be a doormat?

    What Should I Do with the Little Time Remaining?

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. A chance conversation on the way home from an airport led us to re-think what God is calling us to do? What season are you in? What is God calling you to add to your life, to subtract, or to multiply? He is always talking, always refining, always inviting. And giving us room to respond or not. What are YOU going to do with the little time remaining in your life? God has an idea.

  5. Finding Hope in the Baffling Purposes of God

    Finding Hope in the Baffling Purposes of God

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. Oswald Chambers wrote,  "God called Jesus Christ to what seemed absolute disaster. And Jesus Christ called His disciples to see Him put to death, leading every one of them to the place where their hearts were broken. His life was an absolute failure from every standpoint except God’s."How often in our lives does God's deepest purposes seem His biggest mistakes? How often do we find His plans for goodness to be so baffling that we almost lose heart? Join us as we discuss together, "Finding hope in the baffling purposes of God."

  6. Where Do We Find Courage?

    Where Do We Find Courage?

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. Ancient societies taught their children "courage," both as a skill and as a virtue. But we've lost that art, except as ways of hiding our heads in the sand or putting our trust in ourselves. How are we to face the terrors and torments of life: death of loved ones, disgrace, discovery, or the need to speak an uncomfortable truth? Join us as we reflect on the powerful spiritual gift of Courage!

    Living a Life that Brings Life to Others

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. God has a clear and beautiful purpose for your life, a life He has designed, birthed, nurtured, and shaped since before we were born. His plan it to bring life to others through our lives; to bring hope, and joy, and peace, and encouragement, and purpose, and Life with a capital "L." Through each of us to others, His life in us bring His life to all we meet. Join us as we reflect on the powerful, spiritual vitality of "Realizing the life you were designed to live, that brings life to others."

  8. The Spiritual Treasure of Humble Self-Honesty

    The Spiritual Treasure of Humble Self-Honesty

    If you have a question or comment, click here and send us a text. Even non-believers highly value an honest self-appraisal. Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," and Mark Twain said, "Making good decisions come from experience. Experience comes from evaluating our bad decisions.”  Why are so many people today so scared to admit their faults? To humbly say, "I need help"? Why are so many of us believers so afraid to look deeply into our hearts for behaviors, motives, and blindness? Join us as we reflect on the powerful, spiritual value of an examined life.
