    Why Do Bad Things Happen?

    In this episode, Dr. RJ shares four reasons why Christians often experience hardships. Often times, we hear the reason bad things happen to believers is because of "free will." Well that explanation is insufficient because it doesn't consider the sovereignty of God. Dr. RJ uses examples that we find in scripture to explain why believers experience hardships.

Excellent for those wanting the Bible to “Just Make Sense!”

Light Among Peers is a fantastic podcast for teens and adults alike! Dr. RJ is engaging, fun to listen to, and has a deep understanding of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. He has great recommendations for getting to the root of sin and how we can use our faith to overcome sin and let our lights shine as Jesus instructed us to do, all while deepening our relationship with God. Listening to this podcast will also help you understand the Bible from the perspective of those who wrote the books of the Bible. I highly recommend this podcast for anyone wanting to grow their faith past the level of a typical 3-point Sunday sermon!

For adults too!

Positive and uplifting! Dr. RJ’s passion shines through. Adults can also benefit from the insights and themes from the Bible. In an inclusive manner, Dr. RJ is enthusiastic, well-spoken and encouraging. You can’t help to be in a positive frame of mind after hearing his message. In a world that can be full of darkness, this podcast will help you to see the light and become a light among your peers: just as the title indicates!

Solid and practical Christian coaching

You can really feel Dr RJ’s passion for encouraging youth to pursue a relationship with Jesus in a dark world. He brings all his points back to God’s word so the listeners know where the advice and principles are coming from. I’m excited to share this with my 2 teenage sons!
