Hey everyone! I'm a little under the weather this week so I am taking a break, but here is a rerun of one of my most eye-opening episode. Was Jesus really the son of God? How do we know if he is who he said he was? Is there any evidence that he truly was the Messiah? This is really the crux of the Christian faith so I thought it was worth revisiting. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! Welcome to this week's episode! We are talking John 3 today and about how Nicodemus came to Jesus. He just did not understand what Jesus was saying about being born again. So why couldn't he understand it? What does being born again actually mean? What is the gospel? All this and more will be answered in today's episode. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! We are talking about anger today. Is it a sin to be angry? Was Jesus ever angry? What do we do when we feel anger? Is any anger justified? We are navigating this topic to try to align ourselves with God and what He says about it. This was a very helpful episode for me in reminding me that I need to use anger to fuel action and do something about the injustices we see in today’s world. I hope you enjoy the episode and if you haven’t already, make sure you subscribe to the podcast on whatever platform you listen. Thank you!

Hey everyone and welcome to this week’s episode! We are talking about Jesus’ first miracle where he turned water into wine at the wedding of Cana. I have always been confused by Jesus’ response to Mary when she asks for this miracle so we clear that up. We also dive into drinking alcohol as a Christian. Should we drink? Should we abstain? Where is the line? We get into a messy conversation bout alcohol in this weeks episode. I hope you enjoy! Sources:

In this week's episode we are talking about how we need to be fully sold out to Jesus and how being a disciple is actually very radical. He calls us to completely love him, trust him, form our lives around him, and base our morality fully on him. It is not a lukewarm proclamation of faith but a full lifestyle. We talk about what it takes to be a disciple, what the Bible says about it, and how we can help disciple others.

Welcome to this week's episode where we are talking all about baptism! We discuss how and why Jesus got baptized (which also gives us a glimpse of the trinity), what baptism means, how different denominations handle baptism, and discuss infant baptism. We are going deep! I also discuss why I chose to get baptized as an adult after being baptized as a baby. I hope you enjoy the episode!

Who was John the Baptist? Why did he wear camel hair and live in the wilderness? What did he preach? Why did he baptize Jesus? We talk about all of this and more in this week’s episode! John the Baptist was a very significant figure in history that tied together the Old Testament and the New testament and prepared the way for the Messiah. There was confusion when he came about who he was (was he the Messiah himself? Was he Elijah reincarnated?) so today we are going into his full story, his purpose, and his death. Thanks for listening and I hope you enjoy the episode

Hey everyone! We are starting our bible study format this week by deep diving into the first section of John 1! We talk about some Greek words that show darkness cannot overcome the light we have in Jesus and then we talk about what the trinity is. We also discuss why it's hard for our human minds to fully comprehend all that God is. Enjoy the episode!
