All of Life Show

What if everything you thought you knew about living the Christian life was wrong? On this episode of the All of Life Show, Stewart and Alycia White sit down with author and pastor Shawn Reinsel to unpack the life-transforming power of grace—a message that's often overlooked, yet absolutely vital for experiencing genuine freedom and joy in Jesus.Shawn shares his incredible journey: from a rule-keeping, striving believer, through devastating personal heartbreak, to a new understanding of God's radical, life-giving grace. You'll hear firsthand how legalism and “try harder” Christianity set us up for burnout, shame, and disappointment—and how embracing 100% grace is the only way to step into the abundant life God promises.Join us as we dig into:

How can you know when you're actually under spiritual attack? What ways can you discern spiritual warfare from mere physical illness or relational conflict?In this follow-up episode on Spiritual Warfare, Karl Payne goes into further detail on the ways in which a Christian can discern when they're under attack, and when they are not. If you've ever had moments in your relationships, marriage, or temptations and addictions where you felt like you were almost being pushed toward sin and rebellion against God, you may actually be in the midst of spiritual warfare and not even know it.

For many Christians in the world, today, Satan and demons just seem like superstitious nonsense, or perhaps outdated and expired, no longer relevant to our modern minds. What if we're mistaken? What if there are forces presently at work in the world, seeking to destroy and devour our peace and joy, and take our eyes off of the only One who can help.In episode 48 of the All of Life Show, Pastor Karl Payne shares his extensive experience and understanding of the issues of spiritual warfare and demonization. Christians need to know that demons are real and active in our world, so we can understand what is happening in our lives, families, churches and communities. In this episode, we discuss how Karl first got involved with demonization, and what he's learned in over 40 years of experience.Buy Karl's Book, Spiritual Warfare, on Amazon:https://amzn.to/3TXpONcKarl's Website:http://karlpayne.orgPARTNER WITH ALL OF LIFE: https://ko-fi.com/alloflifeWebsite:https://www.alloflifeshow.com/Email:feedback@alloflifeshow.comSocial Media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/alloflifeshowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alloflifeshow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllofLifeShow/Podcast: https://plnk.to/AllofLifeShow?to=page

FREE Trigger Tracker:https://NatalieHixson.com/AllofLife Mothers, Have you ever been so angry with your children that you said or did something you immediately regretted, only to find yourself repeating the same cycle again and again?Anger is often assumed to be a bad emotion; sinful even. Scripture tells us, however, that we are to be "Angry and sin not", and not to let "the sun go down on our anger". The problem arises when we choose to handle our anger in the wrong way, and direct it toward the wrong place. If you've been a parent for longer than a minute, and a mother in particular, you've likely experienced the type of anger that we discuss with our guest, Natalie Hixson. Natalie is a Christian life coach, and uses her early experiences in motherhood to help other moms overcome mommy burnout and explosive anger. Natalie has been through the gauntlet of parenting woes and lived to tell the tale. Now, she coaches mothers seeking to overcome their own issues with anger, and she does so by directing them to the hope only found in the gospel of Jesus Christ.PARTNER WITH ALL OF LIFE: https://ko-fi.com/alloflifeWebsite:https://www.alloflifeshow.com/Email:feedback@alloflifeshow.comSocial Media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/alloflifeshowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alloflifeshow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllofLifeShow/Podcast: https://plnk.to/AllofLifeShow?to=page

Support the Show: https://ko-fi.com/alloflifeWe've all be guilty of throwing around terms while assuming others fully grasp what we mean. When it comes the the Christian faith, the gospel is no different. What does it mean when people say, "The gospel is for all of life"? How does the gospel actually apply to things like marriage, parenting, relationships, counseling, politics, and more? Is it just a resource among many useful tools and resources available? What even is "The Gospel"?The sooner we grasp the importance of the gospel for the Christian life, the sooner we will see growth that comes from surrendering to the truth of God's word, and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. In this episode, we dig into the high-level overview of the gospel, and what it means that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for all of life.

Western society seems hyper-focused on chasing down anything that might promise even just a little happiness, but then quickly dissatisfied and disappointed once they've obtained their objective. The most advanced nations also struggle with some of the highest rates of depression, meanwhile, many poor and emerging nations actually report some of the lowest numbers. How can this be? How can they have joy when they have so little, while those with much are rarely ever satisfied? On this episode of the All of Life Show, we discuss the differences between happiness and joy, and discover that true joy comes, not from what we have, but from Who has us.

We're back, and we've got some big news to share with you!When God calls us, He calls us to be faithful, but how often do we ignore or shirk our responsibility toward faithfulness and replace it with simply being comfortable?In this episode of the All of Life Show, we share about the journey that God has had us on, and where He has led us. Listening to God's voice and seeking His will is often quite different than we might picture it. We've learned that in whatever we're doing, we must do it in faith. In fact, that's what God is looking for; faith. Apart from faith it is impossible to please Him. That can sound ominous until you consider the implications; when we operate in faith in God, His promises, and, most of all, faith in the finished work of Jesus, we can't NOT please Him! This ends up being wildly freeing! Are you walking in faith? Do you want to?Website:https://www.alloflifeshow.com/Email:feedback@alloflifeshow.comSocial Media:Twitter: https://twitter.com/alloflifeshowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/alloflifeshow/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AllofLifeShow/Podcast: https://plnk.to/AllofLifeShow?to=page

Is cryptocurrency something that Christians should be involved in? Isn't Bitcoin used for illegal activities? What about the Mark of the Beast? When it comes to the world of cryptocurrencies, Christians can often find it difficult to know how to approach things from a Biblical perspective. Tim Bertram decided to bridge the gap by creating TheCryptoChristian.com; a website that specifically tackles the questions and issues that Christians have when it come to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, and helps bring clarity to the believer.

In our culture, today, there are so many ideas and voices competing with the voice of Truth found in the Word of God. Consequently, Christians have become more confused than ever with how to think Biblically regarding issues pertaining to gender and sexuality. In part two of our interview with Professor Nancy Pearcey, we discuss her most recent book, Love Thy Body, and hear how a Christian can walk in love without compromising truth and faithfulness to God's Word. Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality. Her earlier books include The Soul of Science, Saving Leonardo, Finding Truth, and two ECPA Gold Medallion Award Winners: How Now Shall We Live (coauthored with Harold Fickett and Chuck Colson) and Total Truth. Her books have been translated into nine languages. She is professor and scholar in residence at Houston Baptist University. A former agnostic, Pearcey has spoken at universities such as Princeton, Stanford, USC, and Dartmouth. She was highlighted as one of the five top women apologists by Christianity Today and was hailed in The Economist as "America's pre-eminent evangelical Protestant female intellectual."Links to Nancy's Books:Total Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Total-Truth-Study-Guide-Christianity/dp/1433502208Love Thy Body: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Thy-Body-Answering-Questions/dp/0801075726The Soul of Science: https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Science-Christian-Natural-Philosophy/dp/0891077669Saving Leonardo: https://www.amazon.com/Saving-Leonardo-Secular-Assault-Meaning/dp/1433669277Finding Truth: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Truth-Principles-Secularism-Substitutes/dp/0781413087How Now Shall We Live?: https://www.amazon.com/How-Now-Shall-We-Live/dp/084235588X

What is Truth? How can we know it? In our modern era, we have developed a belief about truth that is, quite simply, not true. In this episode of the All of Life Show, we interview Professor Nancy Pearcey about one of her books, Total Truth, and discuss the way that the truth has been divided into the realms of sacred and secular, and how Christians must understand and overcome this if we are to be effective.Nancy Pearcey is the author of Love Thy Body: Answering Hard Questions about Life and Sexuality.

In a day and age when it seems like even the most faithful of Christians are falling by the wayside and walking away from the faith, the believer needs to be strengthened in their resolve. This is nothing new, however. In fact, the Apostle Paul wrote the letters to the Colossians for just such a thing. Many were being taken captive by persuasive and convincing philosophies of their age, so Paul pointed them back to Jesus Christ, the One in Whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

How does a Christian approach some of the most important and sensitive issues going on in our world and culture today? Samuel Sey believes that, if we believe the gospel, we much approach everything from a position of love, grace, patience and truth. In this episode we interview Samuel Sey. Originally from Ghana, Sam lives in Toronto, Canada where he is a pro-life advocate and writer at his blog, www.slowtowrite.com. He is committed to addressing racial, cultural, and political issues with biblical theology and an attempt to be quick to listen and slow to speak.

It would be natural to assume that if a person claims to be a Christian, then knowing and understanding the Gospel and how to present it is a given! Surprisingly, many Christians struggle to have a Biblical understanding of the Gospel, and the ability to rightly articulate it. How does this disconnect happen, and how can it be improved? In this episode, we dig into the question, "What is the Gospel", and seek to offer up a framework to properly understand and articulate it. Special thanks to Greg Gilbert for writing his book, What is the Gospel?. We lean heavily upon his work to help present a framework that all believers can remember utilize in preaching the Gospel to those who have not heard. Not only this, but the believer can better remind and apply the Gospel to every area of their Christian life. Also, thank you to Marc Minter for providing a very nice summary of Greg Gilbert's book, on his website, www.marcminter.comIf you'd like to get your own copy of What is the Gospel?, you can get it here:https://tinyurl.com/y42nj4ooVisit Marc Minter's site and grab a copy of his summary of the book:https://marcminter.com/2018/10/15/a-summary-of-what-is-the-gospel-by-greg-gilbert-in-22-quotes/Thumbnail photo by Anthony Garand on Unsplash

In today's world, Christians have been pressed to accept and adopt the belief that there are two worlds to live in; the sacred and the secular. The sacred is the realm of religious "truth", while the secular is the realm of your public life, which includes everything from science to marriage. The myth is that the two should never meet because they have not business doing so. This isn't what scripture teaches, however.

In the current American political climate and cultures, things seem to be more unstable than ever. How is a Christian supposed to respond? What Should inform the Christian's opinions and beliefs? Aren't politics just a worldly system that should have no part in the Christian life?In this episode, we discuss the events the past week, and how Christians should carry themselves in these incredibly polarizing times.

In this episode of the All of Life Show, Stewart and Alycia discuss their first year of podcasting, and highlight some of their favorite moments, then look ahead to what's in store for the All of Life show in 2021 and beyond. Oh, and they introduce their first outtake at the end of the episode, so be sure to listen to the end.

When a person thinks of the word Resolution, the mind almost immediately goes to New Year's Resolutions. It's a time when people all around the world make vows to quit doing one thing, or start doing another, but the ability to stick to it usually only lasts for a months, weeks, or even days. This year, resolve to make your New Year Resolutions, not only temporal, but something of eternal significance. In this year-end episode of the All of Life Show, Stewart and Alycia discuss the merits of making resolutions that last, and why aiming for something more eternally significant often ends up bringing the other stuff along for the ride.

One of the most beloved Christmas songs of all time is also one of our favorites, but we never knew the amazing story behind the song.

Most professing Christians have at least heard that community is supposed to play a vital role to the Christian life, but many still struggle to grasp just what that looks like. In this episode, we talk with Robert Hershey from The Fellowship at Bend, and dig into the role that community plays in the life of the Christian.Books mentioned in this episode:Life Together - Dietrich Bonhoeffer: https://amzn.to/3lbI5VqHe Calls Me Friend - John M.

When it comes to politics, no doubt you've been asked who you're voting for, but as a Christian, how do you answer? In this episode, we take a look at the Old Testament book of Joshua, and see what happened when Joshua asked the Captain of the Lord of Hosts, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?". The answer he was given probably took him by surprise, and it is still relevant, today.

In this episode we review a book called, "Try Softer", by author and counselor Aundi Kolber, and talk about how God used this book in our lives at a time when we were feeling overwhelmed by anxiety and depression. Christians struggle with depression and anxiety just like any other person, but the means we have available to address these things is so much greater. Their is freedom and hope because of Jesus, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everything will be fixed when we'd like it to be. https://aundikolber.com/book/

Just because a person becomes a Christians doesn't mean that they no longer deal with fear and anxiety. In fact, quite often, faith looks more like facing those things head-on. In scripture, we see this illustrated perfectly with the account of Peter being invited out to walk on the water with Jesus. He was the only one who had the faith in the moment to believe that he could step out of the boat if Jesus invited him to do so. Upon stepping out on the water, however, Peter was quickly overwhelmed by the wind and waves crashing down all around him, and began to sink, ultimately, crying out to Jesus for rescue. Jesus pulled him up and brought him back to the boat. This can be a picture of what the Christian life looks like; we step out in faith, get overwhelmed, and cry out to Jesus, but this isn't the failure that one might assume it to be. No, it is Christ working in and through us for the good glory of the Father. In this episode, we interview Pastor Josh Pasma, the founding pastor of Crossview Community Church in Kennewick, WA. Josh shares about the struggles he has seen in ministry and life, and how it has been Christ who has ultimately been the one with enough faith to bring him through and pull him back out when he has been overcome by the types of fears and anxieties that come with the wind and the waves of life.

When it comes to politics, Christians can have a tough time knowing what to do, what to believe, and how to proceed. Fear and intimidation can lead to staying quiet, and yet for some, they don't know how to hold their tongue. What is a sincere Christian supposed to do? How should they proceed? In this episode of the All of Life Show, we discuss how the Gospel of Jesus Christ should shape our politics, and act as a framework from which we make our decisions. Join us a we delve into this hot button topic and try to bring the peace of Christ to an arena that can be very divisive.

It seems like despair can come more easily than joy, these days. Turn on the news or scroll through social media and it is amazing anyone could come away without questioning God and wondering if true justice will ever be served. This is nothing new. In fact, this is exactly where the Psalmist found himself when he wrote Psalm 73. Nearly despairing of trust in God as he noticed that the wicked seemed to have it easier than those seeking to obey the Lord and follow Him. It took a massive shift in focus before the Psalmist was able to discern what the truth was. www.alloflifeshow.comScripture reading is from the ESV Bible.

When Kelly Garasha got a phone call from her childhood best friend, Marie, she had no idea that her entire life was about to drastically change. Over the next sixteen months, she would walk with her best friend through the darkest moments of colon cancer, never quite being certain what God was doing, but trusting that He was at work.

You can't pick up your phone, turn on your television or hop on your computer without seeing and hearing about the most heart-breaking events. Recently, this truth became even more apparent with the murder of George Floyd; an image-bearer of God. Like gasoline on the fire, this event brought America to a series of explosive effects, the consequences of which are continuing without an end in sight. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone without strong convictions about these things, but where is God in the midst of this? How does the gospel of Jesus Christ speak to such events? In this episode, we explore the answer to these questions and more, as we seek to get to the root of hate, violence, racism, and evil itself.

During this time of quarantine and struggles, many have said that we're all in the same boat, but someone wisely pointed out that we are really all in the same storm, but actually in different boats. The question is; how is your boat holding up? Do you feel like it's sinking? What once tolerable things are now feeling like way too much to bear in the midst of the storm? In this episode, we will explore the way that the gospel points us to the Only Hope we have inside or outside the storm; Jesus Christ.

What if the best way to address our unwanted sexual behavior was to press into our issues rather than to run away or simply try to manage them? In this interview, author and counselor Jay Stringer talks about exactly that. In his book, Unwanted: How Sexual Brokenness Reveals Our Way to Healing, Jay takes a gospel-centered approach to the issues of unwanted sexual behavior and takes a different approach than what most Christians have probably heard. If you've been going through the same cycles with your own struggles and you wonder if there really is such a thing as true freedom, you definitely want to check out this interview.

Who or what is holding you together when everything seems to be falling apart around you? Where do you turn when all of your sure-things have crumbled? In episode 114 of the All of Life Show, we discuss the way that many Christians are being awakened to the reality that their faith can only truly rest in Jesus Christ. The only hope we have, whether things are great or terrible, is the hope of the promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Message doesn't change! No, we are to press further into the grace and hope of the gospel! If you're feeling overwhelmed and without hope, it's a strong indicator that you've had your hope in the wrong place.

Guilty! You should be ashamed! What a shame! Guilt and shame; two conditions in which our world is steeped, but often in denial and opposition to their origin. Two words that often go hand-in-hand, with little distinction, but are they the same thing? In this episode of the All of Life Show, special guest host, Pastor Brett Anderson, joins us as we take a look into guilt and shame, and the way that they shape our identities, even as Christians, and how we are to deal with these twins that were born in the Garden and have haunted us ever since.

In Episode 110 of the All of Life Show we discuss how easily we drift from dealing with sin through the only effective means, that is the grace and gospel of Jesus Christ, and instead try to deal with it through the law of guilt and shame.

All of this falls short and the only lasting solution is the transformative grace of Jesus Christ.

In this episode of the All of the Life Show, we sit down and discuss our review of author Gary Thomas's new book "When to Walk Away - Finding Freedom from Toxic People".

Maybe you've been enduring the abuse of a toxic person. In the book, Gary Thomas puts forth the idea that even Jesus walked away or let others walk away, in order to preserve the mission that the Father had given Him.

We will often hear people saying things like, "Let's get to the heart of the matter", or, "At the heart of the issue we discover the solution". We instinctively understand that the heart is important, but when it comes to parenting, are you parenting for the heart of your child?

They can motivate us when we know someone is counting on us, but become a terrible burden when others place them upon us without our knowledge or agreement.
