    Ep. 8 Breaking Free: The Hidden World of a Christian Going 'No Contact'

    Welcome to our podcast, where we delve into the lesser-known aspects of the Christian faith. Today, we'll be discussing a topic that is often overlooked or even considered taboo: Christians going no contact. This choice can be a challenging one, especially when it comes to family and close relationships. In this episode, we'll explore why some believers choose to distance themselves, how to navigate this decision, and why it's crucial to discuss this subject openly.

    Ep: 6 How to Chase Christ and Not Just Exist in the Culture of Christ

    Ep: 6 How to Chase Christ and Not Just Exist in the Culture of Christ

    In this episode, we discuss how to be assured that we are indeed chasing Christ and not just participating in the culture of Christ.



    We also delve into the following topics:

    - Knowing ourselves

    - Being willing to be in the presence of Him....and Him alone

    - Praying and meditating on His word

    - Living life that exhibits our Christ walk - what do we do behind closed doors, how do we treat others, how do we handle disappointments, are we carrying anger (James 1:20) tells us human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.

    - Fruit of the spirit - the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.



    We hope that this episode will help you on your journey of chasing Christ and not just existing in the culture of Christ.
