Practically Christian

The word “Christian” literally means “little Christ,” so if you’re a Christian, people should be able see the character of Jesus in you. This is a high calling that—if we’re being honest—we get wrong much of the time. The question is: how do you grow in becoming like Jesus? Podcast hosts Luke & Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera share honestly about their own failures and successes in seeking to live out the Jesus way of life in a conversation designed to help you know Jesus more deeply and follow Him more faithfully.

    The Deadly Sin of Gluttony

    Welcome to Practically Christian! In this episode we take everyone's favorite subject, food, and heap a pile of shame on it. Just kidding! In reality, exploring the sin of gluttony should not lead to shame about food, but a desire to enjoy food the way God intended: with joy, but not overindulgence. Join hosts Luke Heirendt, Janelle Heirendt and Jake Silvera as we dive into this important topic.

    In this final session of our I.Q. Church Class on theology, Jake and Luke explore the profound roles of the Holy Spirit and the Church, often referred to as the Bride of Christ.

Learn about the biblical terms 'ruach' and 'pneuma' that highlight the Spirit's life-giving nature. Discover the Church's role as the Body and Temple of Christ, emphasizing unity, discipleship, and worship. Understand the significance of key ordinances like baptism and communion, which symbolize our new life in Christ and His sacrifice.

    The Son of God and Salvation (Foundations of the Christian Faith #3)

    Welcome to Class 3 of the "Foundations of Theology" I.Q. Church series taught by Luke and Jake! We're taking a break from our normally scheduled podcast series to bring you this teaching. In this session, we dive deep into two essential aspects of the Christian faith: Jesus Christ as the Son of God, and the gift of salvation He brings. We explore how Jesus, being both fully God and fully human, is central to understanding the gospel and our relationship with God. Additionally, we unpack the multi-faceted nature of salvation and its transformative power in the believer's life. Key topics covered in this video: The Incarnation: Jesus as fully divine and fully human, and why that matters for salvation. An exploration of Christological heresies like Docetism, Apollinarianism, Nestorianism, and Monophysitism, contrasted with the orthodox understanding of Christ. Salvation as God's gift: understanding atonement, faith, justification, adoption, and sanctification. The Gift of Salvation: Substitution and Sacrifice: Christ died in our place. Christus Victor: Christ is victorious over sin, death, and evil. Reunion and Recapitulation: Christ reunites us with God and restarts the creation project. Demonstration and Devotion: Christ shows us how to live and influences us toward devotion. We also explore key aspects of salvation: Faith: Belief and allegiance to Christ. Justification: Receiving the gift of grace by faith (Ephesians 2:8-10). Adoption: Being brought into God's family and confirmed as His children (Romans 8:22-25). Sanctification: Growing in holiness and being set apart for God's Kingdom (Hebrews 10:14). Movie Clips for Illustration: We use several movie clips to illustrate the Christological heresies and provide a visual understanding of key concepts before focusing on the correct biblical view of Jesus as one person with two natures. 📖 Scripture References: Colossians 1:15-20 (Christ as the image of the invisible God) Ephesians 2:8-10 (Saved by grace through faith) Romans 8:22-25 (Adoption into God’s family) Hebrews 10:14 (Sanctification through Christ’s sacrifice)

    The Creator and Corruption (The Foundations of the Christian Faith #2)

    In this episode Luke and Jake continue teaching the "Foundations of Theology" I.Q. Church series for Creekside Community Church. In this session, we explore two foundational truths: God as the Creator and the corruption of creation through sin. We dig into the distinct role of God the Father in creation, His sovereignty, and His ongoing work in the world. Then, we discuss how sin has corrupted both the world and humanity, and how spiritual evil entices us away from God. Key topics covered in this video: The Creator/creation distinction and why it matters. God the Father as the Great Initiator—His attributes, actions, and covenant relationships. Humanity's creation in God's image and the implications of that calling. The nature of sin, how it affects the world, our flesh, and how we are tempted by spiritual evil. Whether you’re new to theology or continuing your faith journey, this class provides vital insights into the character of God and the reality of human corruption. 📖 Scripture References: Genesis 1:26-28 (Creation in God’s image) John 15:16-23 (God's role as the initiator) Romans 8:29 (Being conformed to the image of Christ)

    The Testimony and the Trinity (Foundations of the Christian Faith 1)

    For the next month, we're taking a break from our current series to bring you the Foundations of the Christian Faith. This is a series of classes taught at Creekside Community Church by Luke and Jake. Welcome to Class #1! In this session, we dive into the fundamentals of theology—what it is, why it matters, and how it shapes our understanding of God and our lives. We also jump into the subject of the Trinity, exploring in what way God is one, and how He is three (and how that is not a contradiction). Key topics covered in this podcast: What is theology? A simple definition explained. The role of the Bible in guiding our beliefs. Common pitfalls of theological study and how to avoid them. How theology can transform our hearts and minds. Whether you’re new to theology or looking to deepen your faith, this class will help you build a solid foundation for your study of God.
