We continue where we left off studying Scripture and take a deeper look at what Paul has to say to the Jewish people in Romans, their mindset about themselves, and how that connects to the Gospel he wants to preach to them.

Happy New Years guys and welcome back to discuss such a "happy" and joyful topic such as sin today (sarcasm)! Do you feel like a sinner? Do you understand what sin is? Today we take a deeper look at this and some of the easy misconceptions Satan would love for us to believe about ourselves in light of the cross. Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

This is such a difficult but I think worthy and important question to ask! How do I know I believe the Gospel and am saved? How can I be sure? Where do I put my faith and my assurance of these things? What does the Bible have to say on these issues? I pray that this podcast serves just as an introduction for you to begin asking and answering those questions with Scripture and that you would ultimately be able to find assurance with the joy and confidence that God intended even the weakest of his children to have! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today I let you guys in on how my semester really went and some of my current struggles looking towards graduation and God's calling on my life. Would love to hear your guy's feedback and new questions to respond to!

Welcome back everybody! We return for another episode of Learning Scripture where we dive back into Romans together and begin to walk through Chapter 2 to continue seeing what Paul wanted to preach to the Romans. Looking forward to being back and catching you guys up a bit on what's been happening with me :) let's do it! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today we take a break from Romans to look at the idea of hearing Christ's voice amidst the many voices of the world and how that influences our long-term obedience. In the light of continued mandates and demands surrounding COVID-19 and the spiritual narrative of "loving neighbor" that is continuing to be pressed into me and my fellow university students, I want to explore a bit of why we respond to authority the way we do! Why do we go along so easily? It's a tough question, and I hope you consider engaging me on it :) Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

We continue our look into the first chapter of the book of Romans in our journey to know God and the Gospel that Paul wanted to preach to the Romans. If you haven't yet check out the previous episode to catch up on where we are at in Romans (although I do a short recap at the beginning here). We take a look at the natural fallout of our rejection of God and begin to see a more direct correlation between knowing God and our actions. Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

Today we delve into the book of Romans on our journey to know God more! I try to give helpful context, tips, and questions as we begin walking through this text so we can all practice being better bible interpreters. We begin to explore Paul's purpose in writing to the church in Rome and his start-in to the Gospel, God's wrath, and ungodliness. Hope you tune in :) Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

More of an update and a request for honest input and prayer on whether or not I should continue the podcast with the commitments I have or not! Thanks you guys for listening!!!

Hey guys! Today we talk about that oh so often heard word, unity! This is a powerful word used to defend so many decisions made in the church today, but are we really talking about this idea in the way God intended for it to be thought of? Is this unity something we need to bring about or something God has already accomplished? All this and more in this new episode. P.S I added a sponsored segment for the first time so please don't be mad :) Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

While many of us love to point out the problems and flaws around us, often we're not willing to step up especially in the church to change them. Today we talk about the importance of being willing to lead (for change) even if it's doing something we've never done before or are especially averted to doing. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This is a reflection on where I've found Jesus to be practically in my faith recently and how being unable to see who I am laboring for (Ecclesiastes 4:7-8) as a believer has been a large detriment to my ability to follow Him. Ask yourself if you can practically see the Lord being with you in your life (Matthew 28:20) as He is Immanuel,"God with us", or do you practically see Him as being far off or buried beneath your own work.

We look at the 9 marks of a healthy church (from "What makes a healthy church?" by Mark Dever!), and I really delve into explaining the importance of each mark, simplify their definitions as much as possible, and try to give you guys plenty of diagnostic questions for determining if a certain local church is what God really wants for you. I hope this is encouraging and can help you in the future as you assess and become members of wonderful local congregations :) Never had a podcast before, but want to try it?!

Hey guys! Today we're kicking off season 2 as we move into the summer! It's time to make a clean break from the spring (and COVID :P) and continue tackling more topics like "what should I do while I am single"? Not really a guide on how to find a spouse, but more so some practical ways to waste ourselves on God and god-honoring pursuits that can help fill you with more joy in a time of life that can often seem depressing.

What do you do when you doubt God? When your sin, life's troubles, your loss, and your suffering all tell you that he isn't keeping up his end of the bargain? Today, I'm reflecting on my personal fight with doubt (and how God responded) through the lens of Moses's frustration with the Lord in Exodus chapter 5. Don't miss it!

We're back! After a few week hiatus with the end of my junior year I'm kicking the summer off right with a new episode about enjoying the Bible!

Today we cover just a little bit of my personal advice on how to start delving into the Word of God and setting yourself up for success if you're unfamiliar with a lot of the Bible; as well as asking, why do we study the Bible in the first place?

Join me today to discuss the question of whether or not the Bible encourages us to or commands us against judging others?

So many college-age believers struggle with "floating" from church to church, never really finding a place where they decide to settle, submit, and serve. Why exactly should we be people who commit to a local body of believers? Today we discuss a little why that may be and a few biblical arguments for why God expects us to be a part of a local church.

Today I discuss "Student Body", a play done at my very own Christian University about sexual assault and other heavy subject matter (please be advised!) and the theme of whether or not we truly know people (in contrast with knowing God).
