S2E7: Thinking About the Spiritual Realm
Scripture pictures our world as having both a physical and a spiritual dimension, and sees the stories and conflicts of the spiritual realm as affecting and overlapping with our experience of life in the world. What does the Bible say about spiritual realities, and how do we as Christians think about and interact with them? Join Eric and Gray as they give an overview of this mysterious and at times confusing topic.

S2E4: Once Saved, Always Saved?
How do we think about the question of losing our salvation? Does Jesus keep us? Do we need to live in fear? And if we are secure, what about apostasy? What about people we know who leave the faith? Is God's love an excuse to live in unrepentant sin? Join Gray and Eric as they dig into these challenging issues.

S2E3: Having Conversations About Jesus
How do we talk with people we know about the good news of Jesus? This is guilt and anxiety-inducing question for many, but it is something we are called to do in Scripture. Join Gray and Eric as they discuss practically how to talk about their faith with those around them.

S2E2: Leisure
How should Christians think about leisure time and having fun? On the one hand, we don't want to be legalistic or suspicious of rest and free time. On the other hand, we also don't want to endorse our culture's obsession with recreation and pleasure. Join Gray and Eric as they discuss the balance.

Gray is my Pastor at Ascension Church of Phoenix and I always look forward to this Podcast. Eric’s contributions are equally applicable to Gray’s insights, and the two of them together helps to expand my thinking by challenging me to raise the bar in my own personal pilgrimage of faith. Gray and Eric are tru “Shepherds” in their respective ministries. Thanks for being “Simply Faithful” in bringing this Podcast to all of us as a part of your ongoing ministries!
Gets to the heart of the matter
Love this podcast. It cuts right to the heart of a variety of tough topics related to Christianity while rooting them in real life experiences. Eric and Gray make controversial conversations approachable and clear to understand. They also keep the discussion lighthearted enough to really be *fun* to listen to.
