Growing Up Ryan Perkins

On this episode, Callie helps us think and act as disciples of Jesus when it comes to mental health and counseling. Hope it helps you!

Many of us struggle to read, understand, and apply the Bible to our lives. Even as disciples of Jesus it can feel like a muscle we just can’t seem to strengthen. Dr. Danny Hays helps us with this problem on the podcast today! As a professor at Ouachita, he has written a book called Grasping God’s Word, which lays out a five step “interpretive journey.” 1) Grasp the text in their town; 2) Measure the width of the river to cross; 3) Cross the principlizing bridge; 4) Consult the biblical map; and 5) Grasp the text in our town. This is a fun conversation, and I hope it’s helpful for you. Enjoy!

Dr. Jeff Struecker spent 22 years in the US Army, where he learned what it looked like to lead people toward a common goal. Most famously, he played a key role in the Battle of Mogadishu (portrayed in the movie Black Hawk Down). Today on the podcast he shares his (incredible) story and talks about what it looks like to leverage your influence to lead others towards Christ in a Great Commission kind of way. Enjoy!

We’re joined today by Tiki Broome, a friend and student pastor in Mississippi, to help us think and act like disciples of Jesus in light of racial injustice. Tiki is so transparent with his story in this episode and roots everything he says in the truth of the gospel. Listen to what he has to say!

We are so excited to bring you some conversations on discipleship, the Scriptures, and the next generation!
