    The Sin We Excuse: A Biblical Response to Anger

    We see it in politics, social media, the news, our workplaces, our homes, and often in our own hearts. Sometimes it erupts in obvious ways. Other times it hides behind irritation, bitterness, resentment, or what we call "pet peeves." In this episode of Sound Words Podcast, Jesse Randolph and Aaron Nicholson discuss what the Bible teaches about anger, why God takes it so seriously, how to distinguish righteous anger from sinful anger, and how believers can respond in a Christlike way. Sound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE. Sound Words is also a partner of Foundations Media, a collective of Christian creators passionate about promoting biblical theology and applying it to everyday life.

    Busy, Burned Out, and Spiritually Dry

    Are you constantly busy but spiritually dry? In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Steve Snyder joins Pastors Jesse Randolph and Aaron Nicholson to discuss how modern culture's obsession with productivity can quietly become an idol. While efficiency can be useful, believers must guard against measuring their worth by accomplishment, performance, or public recognition. The conversation explores the dangers of burnout, misplaced priorities, ministry-driven busyness, and the subtle ways the worries of life can choke spiritual growth. Most importantly, the hosts point listeners back to the believer's primary calling: worshiping Christ and seeking His kingdom first.

    Why Am I Still Doubting If I’m Really Saved?

    Many Christians quietly wrestle with the question: “Am I really saved?” In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, Pastors Jesse Randolph and Aaron Nicholson sit down with Benjamin, an elder at Indian Hills Community Church, to discuss assurance of salvation, doubt, false assurance, and the evidences of genuine saving faith. Together, they explore why sincere believers struggle with doubt, why assurance cannot ultimately rest in emotions or past spiritual experiences, and how Scripture points believers back to Christ rather than inward obsession. They also discuss repentance, ongoing growth, conviction of sin, emotional camp experiences, and the difference between struggling against sin and comfortably living in it. If you’ve ever wondered whether your faith is real, this conversation will help you think biblically about salvation, assurance, and the gospel itself.

    I Feel Lost — How Do I Know God’s Will for My Life?

    What is God’s will for your life—and how can you know if you’re missing it? In this episode, we unpack one of the most common struggles Christians face: feeling lost when making big decisions. Whether you’re choosing a career, navigating a major life change, or wondering if you’ve made the wrong choices, this conversation brings clarity and biblical direction. We explain the difference between God’s revealed will (what He clearly commands in Scripture) and His sovereign will (what He has ordained but not revealed). Instead of chasing certainty, believers are called to pursue faithfulness. 00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast 00:28 The Soul Under Pressure 03:08 Question of God's Will 05:13 Decision to Come to Nebraska 07:58 The Role of Scripture, Counsel, and Prayer in Discernment 11:18 Importance of Holiness in Decision Making 14:18 Aligning Human Will with God’s Will  17:21 Concept of Desire and Freedom in the Christian Life  18:36 Acting Without Biblical Guidance 21:16 John MacArthur's Five-Fold Grid for God’s Will 25:19 Overcoming Analysis Paralysis Sound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.

    Does Israel Still Matter to God? (Dr. Gary Gromacki)

    In this episode of the Sound Words Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Gary Gromacki, Professor of Bible and Theology at Calvary University, to explore one of the most debated issues in Christian theology: Israel’s role in God’s plan. Does Israel still matter to God today, or has the Church replaced Israel? What exactly did God promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—and who inherits those promises? We also tackle the question, “Who is a Jew?” from a biblical perspective, and consider whether Christians should support modern Israel politically. This conversation brings clarity to a complex topic and helps believers think biblically about Israel, the Church, and the faithfulness of God.

    Raising God-Fearing Children in a Godless Culture (Virgil Walker)

    How do you raise children who fear the Lord in a culture that rejects Him? In this episode, Pastor Virgil Walker joins us to discuss what faithful, biblical parenting looks like today. Scripture places the responsibility of spiritual training squarely on parents—not the church or youth ministry. So what does that actually look like in everyday life? We talk about shaping a biblical worldview in a world of competing influences, building rhythms of discipleship in the home, and pursuing heart-level transformation rather than outward behavior. Pastor Virgil also offers encouragement for parents who feel overwhelmed raising children in an increasingly hostile culture. 00:00 Welcome to the Sound Words Podcast 03:42 The Goal of Biblical Parenting 05:45 Practical Tips for Biblical Parenting 08:06 Guarding Personal Time in the Word 10:02 The Role of Youth Ministry 12:04 Digital Media and Modern Influences 17:19 Thinking Ethically About AI 20:37 Just Thinking Podcast 23:31 Discipline as an Opportunity for the Gospel 25:05 Navigating Heart-Level Discipleship 27:03 Shepherding Adult Children Learn more about Redeemer Bible Church: https://www.redeemerbiblechurch.org Listen to Just Thinking Podcast: https://justthinking.me Sound Words is a ministry of Indian Hills Community Church, a Bible teaching church in Lincoln, NE.
