The Modern Age Christian Nick Dyson

Have you ever heard the term cultural competence? Many Christians, I'm afraid, haven't, yet we need to understand it to effectively reach out to our communities and our world. It is all about understanding the culture and background of people so that you can relate to them and share the gospel.

In this episode, Nick and Liz are back again and discussing the idea of the still and quiet moments to hear God. They discuss how prayer is a two-way conversation and how we need to remove distractions and listen to what God is trying to tell us.

So the question is, are YOU quiet enough to hear God?

In this episode, Nick discusses the problem with Christians who fall into complacency and settle for being average. Christians are not called to be average or to stop learning and growing. Paul addresses the Roman church and gives them an outline for what a true Christian is. Nick uses those verses to explain what a Christian should be doing and how average Christianity is a sad place to be.

In this episode Nick is solo again for this week but discusses his thoughts and recommendations on where to start reading the Bible. It is easy to overcomplicate where to start, what to read, how to study. Nick wants to address very simply books of the Bible our listeners can start with in their Bible study journey.

You don't need a devotional, guide, workbook, or any of that. You simply need to open the Book and start reading! Look for more podcast episodes around Bible study and Bible study methods in the future!

In this episode of the podcast, Nick and Liz talk about the growing problem of Christian burnout. They discuss what burnout is, why it's happening to so many Christians, and how to prevent it.

They also talk about how burnout is not just a business problem, but a church problem too. They share stories of how burnout has affected people in their own lives and in the lives of people they know.

They offer hope and practical advice for how to prevent burnout and how to recover from it if you're already experiencing it.

Burnout is not just a business problem

Burnout is a state of chronic stress that can lead to physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. It can happen to anyone, but it's becoming increasingly common in the Christian community.

There are a number of reasons why burnout is happening to so many Christians. One reason is that we're often putting too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. We feel like we have to be everything to everyone, and we don't know how to say no.

Another reason is that we're often not taking enough time for ourselves. We're so busy serving others that we forget to take care of ourselves.

Burnout is not just a personal problem. It's also a church problem. When Christians are burned out, they're not able to serve the church effectively. They're not able to be the people God created them to be.
