    Simple, Faithful, Glorious

    In this episode we discuss the simple, boring, day-in and day-out, ordinary things and how God uses them. Many people ask whether or not anything really matters. The reality is that everything matters. There is purpose and meaning behind everything we do - including the boring stuff. Too often we seek the highs, the stuff, the experiences to fill us when we are meant to be fulfilled by serving God in ordinary, glorious ways. 

    Emotions - Understanding Them So You Can Stop Obsessing Over Them

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 6, 2024 68:35


    In this episode we discuss a Biblical view of emotions and feelings. Do they matter or not? How much do they matter? Does God care about them? How do we honor God with the way we feel? We also attempt to unpack our internal experience as image bearers by understanding how our minds, wills, and feelings work. We also try to debunk some incorrect perspectives on our feelings. We pray this helps you glorify and obey God with how you feel. https://www.desiringgod.org/interviews/is-happiness-different-from-joyhttps://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DZg3jbCtIEcQ&sa=D&source=docs&ust=1707246630676814&usg=AOvVaw3E54_s_N9wjJO9g5pbD03j

    Riding Lions - Fear of the Lord vs. Fear of Man

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 25, 2023 47:31


    In this episode we discuss why and how we can fear the Lord rather than fearing man. Every person faces the battle of valuing how the Lord views us versus how people view us. We all have an innate desire for approval and acceptance. This can lead us to acting and speaking in a way so that people will approve of us instead of acting and speaking in such a way that God will approve of us. Our goal with this episode is to define what it means to fear the Lord, why it is difficult to fear the Lord, and some practical ways we can begin to shift how we live to please God rather than man.
