  • We Read a Christian Perspective on Trauma and It Fascinated Us!
    Mar 16 2024

    We recently found a Christians perspective on dealing with trauma, and it fascinated us. For decades, we modern people in the western world ignored trauma, and now some seem to be over obsessed with trauma. We've lost a Christian, biblical balance.

    What is the Christian perspective? How can we be honest about it in our own lives without losing hope? How do we deal with trauma without succumbing to its bewitching temptation? What does Christ say about trauma?

    Join us for this podcast as we talk about what God has put on our hearts.

  • The Spiritual Value of an Examined Life
    Feb 21 2024

    In our fifteen years of working together, Gary and I realize that God has put a few key messages on our hearts: Calling, Hearing God, Friendship, Humility …

    … and the incredible spiritual value of Living an Examined Life.

    Christian self-examination is not narcissistic self-preoccupation, nor is it is morbid self-flagellation. Christian self-examination is the learned skill of breaking free from the things that hold us back and the awakened spiritual recognition of the talents God has planted in us for His Kingdom.

    It’s a jail-break seminar coupled with spiritual-investment counseling.

  • Serving the Lord for the Reward
    Feb 6 2024

    At the very beginning of the book of Job, Satan asks God, "Does Job serve God for nothing?" And, honestly, we should all ask ourselves the same question. Do we serve God for God Himself, or do we USE Him to get crowns and gold stars?

    It is ever-so-easy to serve God for honor-roll children and Facebook likes. It is ever-so-easy to use God's glory for our hidden purposes.

    In this episode, Gary and Sam share their reflections on Oswald Chambers' February 5 Devotional:

    Do we serve God to be the Hero, or are we willing to serve God even if it means we'll be a doormat?
