    Episode 83: Scrolling for Worth: Social Media, Mental Health, and Your Identity in Christ

    In this podcast, Mark and John discuss the role that social media plays in mental health. Social media has become a mirror for the flesh, and flesh problems are exposed by social media. Social media amplifies the fear of rejection. You and I are accepted in Christ, not by scrolling social media for identity. For most, social media is a highlight reel. When we compare our lives to others, this comparison produces insecurity, anxiety, discontentment, and false identity. Mark and John also discuss how social media can impact our identity in a negative way. To end the podcast, the guys discuss healthy alternatives, including setting boundaries, posting from overflow, and taking a weekly digital sabbath.

    Episode 81: Accepted in Christ!

    There are two questions many believers ask. 1. Does God fully accept me? 2. If so, upon what basis does He do so? In this podcast, Mark and John discuss the fact that you are fully accepted in Christ forever. We are not working for acceptance. We live and work from the finished fact that we are already accepted in the Beloved (Eph. 1:6). As John states, understanding your acceptance affects how you see yourself and your relationships. God welcomes us; we are not on probation. You do not need to prove your worth. You're accepted, not disappointing. Ask yourself, where am I still trying to earn what God has already given me? Do I live like I'm accepted or like I'm auditioning?

    Episode 80: What is Biblical Meditation?

    In this episode, Mark and John discuss Biblical meditation and mindfulness. This isn't the emptying of the mind but a constant reminder of Christ in me. The goal is not to notice thoughts, but to surrender them. In the podcast, Mark and John discuss meditating on the character of God, His Names, and His promises! Meditation is not an Eastern religious activity, but a biblical word.
