Have you ever had questions about your faith? Have you ever had a hard time wrapping your head around something in the Bible? On this episode, we are joined by the head of Globalscope CMF, Phil Tatum. Globalscope is an organization that exists to empower young leaders all throughout the globe for the sake of Christ in cities where there isn't a strong, christian influence.

Phil's story is full of an authentic struggle of wanting to grow closer to God while still wrestling through some really big questions about Him.

Dating as young adult who is trying to follow Jesus can be frustrating and confusing. There are so many questions we are all asking as it pertains to HOW to date and WHY we should pursue dating in the first place. What is a man's role in dating? Does the Bible say anything geared towards women in the dating scene? What is even the purpose of dating? While there is no dating section of the Bible, the Bible does have a lot to offer us towards how we can approach dating.  While there is so much to unpack around this topic, if we don't have our approach and our direction towards dating figured out, we run the risk of having our dating lives drift to a place that we never wanted it to go. We hope you find this episode insightful and impactful as we unpack what the Bible gives us around how we can build an approach towards dating that holds up and takes us closer to where God wants us to go. 

Decision making can often seem challenging and confusing. From figuring out where to work, where to live, and who to date, there are a number of decisions that young adults face on a frequent basis. With no playbook to follow, it can become frustrating when it feels like God isn't answering our prayers for direction or remaining silent towards these big decisions in our lives. With that being said, the question becomes, what is God's role in helping us make decisions? Does He always tell us what to do?  Does He leave some of that up to us? What do we do when we feel like we aren't getting anything from Him? On this episode, we unpack those questions and unpack how we have seen God influence our lives as it pertains to decision making and what we've learned around this topic as a whole. We also give some practical steps on how to go about making a decision as a follower of Jesus in modern times. 

On this episode, we are joined by Dan Foote to discuss the foundations of what it means to be a man. Both in faith circles and non faith circles, there are so many mixed definitions of what it means to be a man. For men, it can be difficult to know what we are supposed to be striving towards and as young women, it can be difficult to know what to look for in a man. Dan sits down with us to share a little bit of his story,  to discuss the foundation laid for us in the Bible as it pertains to what it means to be a man, how Jesus modeled what masculinity looks like through yielding and loving, and how young men can start discovering what it means to be a man. 

Leadership is something we all will have to step into, and something we all could grow in. We are joined by Jesse DeYoung to talk specifically how we can grow in leadership in all areas of life. Jesse speaks to both his personal and professional experience as it pertains to growing in leadership and offers his perspective on what it takes to grow as young leaders.

Emotions are incredibly powerful parts of the human experience. They are woven into everything we do and control so much of our lives. Emotions have the power to make life come alive, but they also have the power to sabotage us. The "SASHET" tool is a practical tool anybody can use to identify and own your emotions so that you can learn to control them before they control you.
