The Average Christian

As a follow-up to the first video, Evan's back to discuss the role of his victim mentality in his walk away from God. We discuss the absurdity of the “woe is me” mindset and the damages it does. We also discuss our personal responsibilities and faults in his decisions to lead a sin-filled life. The hope for this video is to help kids and parents to avoid the same mistakes and take ownership of their choices. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Father & Son Discuss Personal “Prodigal Son” Story It's not quite as dramatic as it sounds, and then it is. My son never disappeared from home and destroyed his entire life. But for a while he purposefully left God and put himself in dangerous situations. The most dangerous was jeopardizing his soul and future with God. He broke his trust with me and his mom, and broke our hearts for a time. He set a destructive example for his siblings, his friends, and his girlfriend. Had a couple of situations gone differently, he could've ended up in much worse conditions. After a lot of difficult conversations and moments, It finally snapped in his mind and he returned full force in humility, confession, and repentance. This is a discussion from both sides about those times and implications as well as lessons learned. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Is the Evil in Society the Fault of Good People Who Didn't Stand Up? I've gotten a “yes” to this question quite often. I've seen the memes and quotes, and it's always come off as victim-blaming. Good people, at times, could and should do more. But solely blaming them for society's moral decay is a reach at best. When you bring Jesus into the equation, said conclusion becomes uncomfortable. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

3 Things a Christian Should be Saying I will not want for anything (God is my shepherd and provider) I walk by faith - not by sight (I'm always of good courage as an exile here on earth) Come Lord Jesus (in response to Him saying He's coming soon) #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

The Courage to Come Back to God Leaving God is usually gradual and sin ensnares us and can lead us away. The longer we're away from God, the harder it is to return. Coming back is difficult. I've seen many people do it, and every time they came back broken and emotional. Do yourself a favor and admit it could be you. It could be a choice or series of choices you make in the future. I hope not. But if it does, I hope you'll have the courage to come back like the prodigal son in the parable Jesus told. Here's King David's story… #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Why the Singing is so Bad in Your Congregation Jesus has saved us!! The greatest salvation story of all time! But is that reflected when I'm singing about it? The Israelites after being set free from Egyptian slavery sang to God in such a way that when you read about it, you see their elation and gratitude. Does my singing to God show the same thing? Many people point out all types of problems and proposed solutions for a lackluster “song service” in collective worship. I submit to you (from the Bible) the problem is easily diagnosed and the solution is simple. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Do You Ever Consider How God Feels? This is a relationship. In any caring relationship you always consider how the other person feels. Does God get that same consideration from you? When you sin? When you pray? When you're trying to make a decision? When you worship? God is not some removed distant being unrelated to the emotions and feelings we experience. Read through the Bible and note His pleasure, His satisfaction, His sadness, and even His anger. How I live directly affects my Father, and I just wonder how much we consider this. I know it will help us to see God better. It will help us in our experience with Him. It will help us to understand and consider Him more. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

How to Start a Spiritual Revolution What can I do about it? That's the question plaguing us when we think about the problems in society. There's an undeniable downward spiral regarding morality in our society! Fact established. One of my problems with watching the news is the lack of solution offered. I'm drowning and they're describing the water! I need answers, solutions, and actions. There are many answers to the plaguing question. BUT there's only ONE RESOURCE! The Bible. God's mind put into human words. There's your power source! Revolution begins at revelation! Here's how King Josiah illustrates. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Hope is the result of faith in God and His promises! He's promised (and He can't lie), so we trust Him (faith from seeing Him keep all His promises) and we hold true hope (desire coupled with expectation)! We have to and need to hold so tightly onto this hope for our own faithful well-being AND for the world to see. We need to give them reasons to ask about our hope, so it must be displayed in our lives! The world needs to see your hope right now. With so much negativity and pessimism in our culture - they need the example of hope. They need hope in their lives and for their future. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Courage in the Face of Your…Friends?!? It takes great courage and faith to stand against your enemies. It may take even greater to stand against your friends. David looked like a great hero after his courage and faith against Goliath. He may have appeared to be weak when he spent so much time running from King Saul. Watch David hold a standard even if it isn't understood or agreed with by those who were on his side. Will you hold God's standard no matter who disagrees? It'll take faith and courage. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

When Jesus Recognizes You! We all crave recognition on some level. It brings us joy to be noticed. It warms our hearts to be remembered. We go out of of our way for even the slightest recognition from what we wear to where we live and what we drive. We appreciate it at work, and we get excited about appearing in media forms (another cause for the popularity in social media). But there will never be a more exciting and rewarding experience than to have God of all recognize you and welcome you into the kingdom prepared just for you!

Why “Church Attendance” There's really no such thing in the sense most of use it (hence the quotation marks). It's more than checking a proverbial box, it is a responsibility set in place by our Father for good reasons. This is a little different take than what you might be used to. And no, going “every time the doors are open” doesn't make you a faithful Christian or fulfill your responsibilities to your family. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Opening and Accessing God's Gift If I receive a Christmas present and set it in front of me leaving it wrapped but celebrating this gift, is it really mine? Can I make use of it still wrapped in the box? Presents are (almost always) graciously given by someone who loves you and wants to bring you joy. So do you automatically earn that gift in opening it? Or are you just doing what it takes to get what's been given? See popp lol how this relates to grace and faith. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Don't Act Like Christians Don't Get Triggered! Some of us are easily offended when disagreed with. Some of us are personally offended when disagreed with. Some of us respond harshly when disagreed with. For some of us, it takes very little to make us freak and respond unkindly with little to no concern for the souls involved, our influence, and the love God expects.

God's Grace and Your Faith Keep You Safe - Peter Walks on Water

God Always Keeps His Promises… …and that's exactly why you can trust Him with your faith. He's told us not to promise or swear because we forget. We fail. God has never forgotten about nor failed to keep a promise. And He is the only one with that record. When you need assurance, go read about promises He's kept and what he's promised you. Got will never let you down! #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

What is God going to do about it? If you're in a great relationship with Him; if you rely on communication with Him… Yes, you have problems, but… You have goals, but… You have concerns, but… You know your limitations, but… What is He and will He do about it? We are not alone and He graciously helps His people through their lives. Trust Him. Submit to Him. Watch Him lead as you walk in faith. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Are You Ready to Suffer? Did Jesus expect to suffer when He came here? He's said that a servant is not greater than his master, so should I have the same expectation? I should.

What Does the Bible Say About Spanking Your Children? This method of discipline used to be widely accepted but has been delegitimized in recent decades. Physically punishing your child has been grossly misunderstood on both ends of the spectrum: one being an excuse for physically abusing a child, and the other deeming any form to be abusive and totally destructive. So what does God say about this? Again, it isn't an exhaustive study, but an introduction to God's instructions on this singular aspect of raising a child. I expect this to be problematic for some, and hopefully you'll be opened minded to biblical wisdom. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Using four passages from Proverbs, I'll show you some of the effects and excuses of laziness. Yes, it does affect your physical life, but the focus always has to be on our relationship with God. You may be incredibly industrious in so many aspects of your life and spiritually bankrupt because there is little to no diligence applied to this relationship with God. Hopefully you'll see these warnings as good medicine and be provoked to make sure that don't apply to you in any way. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

People struggle with not “feeling” this relationship with God. It's a genuine concern! I've wondered it - “What's wrong with me? Why don't I love God or enjoy this?” This video seeks to explain some of the confusion as well as give some basic remedies that may help you find a deep relationship with the Lord. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Joseph faced a scenario that is the dream of ungodly men. He is a good looking, powerful, and successful man who was being chased by his ruler's attractive wife. But a dream for an ungodly man is a nightmare for God's man, and Joseph refuses to disrespect God, Potiphar, and Potiphar's wife. It's an impressive scene that doesn't end well for Joseph even though he refuses to sin. Men of God, here's your encouragement to never trade God and your honor for a brief moment of pleasure - even if no one would know. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Some refer to the belief or teaching as “once saved, always saved.” Can I fall from grace? Can I lose my salvation? Can I walk away from God?

Magical surfaces? Yes. If you wear next to nothing on these surfaces, you are considered clothed. Cross the street from the beach and watch the scramble to get more clothes on. Leave the confines of the pool and watch the same scramble. When Adam and Eve found themselves naked and attempted to clothe themselves. After God pronounced judgment, He clothed them more properly. Let's see what that has to do with how I dress today. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Forgiving Yourself: Todd Houston This is such an important aspect of Christianity because an overdose of guilt can be so destructive. Todd and Zack look at three men in the Bible with different reactions to their guilt. Judas, who hanged himself in his overwhelming guilt. Peter, who struggled to move on in his guilt Paul, who experienced the guilt but learned to use it as a tool and motivation in glorifying God. We hope you will learn to let your guilt have its proper place, and that this study will help you discover your value in Christ and God's forgiveness. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

What is the “Age of Accountability?” You'll find this phrase in the Bible right next to “placing membership.” Seriously, it's a phrase used to describe that point in an individual's life when they become accountable for their actions - understanding the consequences of those actions and having the ability to make personal decisions regarding them. Some never reach that point and cannot be held accountable. This is the reason why children cannot commit sin. The mystery revolves around that critical point in a person's life. The goal is simply to encourage individuals to choose Christ - the only means of remitting those sins - as soon as they are willing and able to. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

It's an easy word when life is smooth. It's an easy word when troubles seem distant. Well? Is that your life - smooth and trouble free? Mine neither. But can I say “good” anyway AND MEAN IT?

Ask not what the church can do for you. Ask what you can do for the church. Sometimes there are good reasons to relocate to another congregation. Then there are those Christians who are just selfish and disagreeable. Their opinions weren't heeded. They didn't get anything out of the preacher's sermons. They had a disagreement with some of their brethren. So they just had to take their over-inflated sense of self worth to a congregation who would better serve their needs. And that attitude about the family Jesus died to establish is nothing like Jesus, Himself. Church family is perfect in design and imperfect in humanity. The Lord calls for a totally selfless mentality, and complaining about what the church doesn't do for you is a problem. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

What a weird phrase, right? In Matthew 5 Jesus used this phrase, and promised the kingdom of heaven to those who are such. This is a little different approach by using the negative to reveal the concept, but I hope it's effective. Are you poor in spirit? #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

It's not that you don't need a healthy view of self. It's just that the proper view isn't coming from within. The value of you and your existence comes from God Himself. From your design to the very meaning of your life, God gives you greater value than you can ever achieve. When you focus on that real value, you'll be less inclined to classify yourself according to others' perspectives, and you'll have much less need to validate you. God cares for and loves you in such a way that you'll spend the rest of your life in His word learning to appreciate it. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

It's true that no one understands what you're going through and how you feel. BUT that isn't necessarily a problem and it an be a good thing if you'll see it as an opportunity! God wants to be everything to you. What better opportunity to build your relationship with Him than times like these - times when you have no one else to turn to but God. It's also a temptation to pity yourself and amplify the victim mentality. Here's an introduction to transforming the pitiful to the opportune. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Discipline equals freedom. It's a quote made more popular by Jocko Willink recently but a concept introduced by God. Want to be chained down by financial burdens and consequences? Don't pay any attention to your income and spending. Want to be burdened with procrastination and rushing around? Don't budget your time. Want to be fat and out of shape and sickly? Don't monitor what you eat and get very little activity. Of course you don't want any of those outcomes, and the only way to avoid them is structure and discipline. Same goes for a relationship with God! It is a wonderful outcome (both here and in heaven) if you will deny you and live for the Lord. Best of all, you will be free from the consequence sin (both here and in hell). #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

This is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. After the destructive frustration in chapter 7, we realize we are IN CHRIST!! These are the advantages enjoyed for all who choose to live in Jesus - from the freedom to the invincibility. Romans 8 shows us we do not have to wait for heaven to enjoy life with God, our adoptive father. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

It haunts all of us as Christians to some degree. You commit and you mess up. You repent and even through great effort, you mess up. You confess and pray, and you mess up. You improve in one area of your life, and you mess up in another. Why does this keep happening? Will I ever get this right? This mentality is flawed, but understandable. It's also dangerous because many have grown weaker and given up as a result. We take a look at this nagging, defeated feeling in an effort to help you find the mental balance you need while battling Satan, sin, and yourself. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

A great preacher was once asked what he believed was the greatest threat to the Lord's church. His reply was, “The unlearned brother and sister in the pew.” This. Is. A. Relationship. If you don't communicate properly in any relationship, then it's doomed to fail. Many of you reading this are likely that unlearned brother or sister, and while that may sting, it shows up when we can't answer questions about the Bible or when we're divided in our beliefs. Many of us don't know what we're talking about when it comes to the truth. Every one of us can improve, so hopefully this discussion highlights the importance and gives you some tips on Bible study. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

There seems to be so many names for church today and it's wildly confusing. One of the the dumbest questions a person could ask in the first century would be, “What church do you go to?” Does it matter? Are we all Christians with different beliefs and practices? Are we united even in our diversity because we're affiliated with Jesus? The Bible is clear about the church and God's expectations, even if it makes us uncomfortable. There are many descriptions given of the church, but I have yet to find an official title. With that said, if I am going to use one of those descriptions as a title I want it it to be biblical. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

If you're self-aware, you're looking in a mirror daily. There's a spiritual mirror too. It's the Bible. And one reason so many people have a problem with it is because they don't like the reflection they're confronted with when examining it. This is a study of James and that reflective aspect of the word that allows us to ourselves and make the necessary changes so we don't become hearers (readers) only. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

One of the WORST things you can do to another person is act like their sin is no big deal! Some Christians do this and arrogantly exclaim, “We're SO accepting, and they're SO judgmental!” In a spiritually immature congregation in Corinth, the brethren were doing this, and they acted like a guy sleeping with his step mom was no big deal. They were tolerant. Paul doesn't mince words in dealing with this situation and he told them just how dangerous it was. If left alone, their sin would destroy them and pollute the congregation. Make sure you're not hating your brother or sister and the rest of your family by letting sin go, and excusing yourself with tolerance. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

It helps to know the enemy and how he works. He deceives people into believing God is the “bad guy,” but he's the supreme liar and only tempter. If I know what he's up to, with God's help and can better fight him off. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Here's a relevant question that really isn't a question! (I'll explain in the video.) There are a lot of people who love Jesus but don't want much to do with “church,” and there are some who just don't see the need anymore. This is really a question that brings up two subjects: Jesus' connection to the church and the relevance of attendance in a building with other Christians. Perhaps this will answer those questions and change some negative attitudes. #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?

Introducing Robby Eversole - a Christian man with an interesting background. He's honestly candid and humble as he shares his past in early adulthood. The hope is reaching people - people who feel like they're too far gone from God; Christians who may be flirting with the devil, unaware of the disasters that await; an addict who is struggling; or anyone who might benefit from hearing this. The challenge of this interview is avoiding the “tabloid effect” of giving out all the gritty details for the sake of effects. Robby is so much more than his past and he'd much rather talk to me about the gospel than his failures. Most importantly, the real story isn't the sinful details. The story is the consistent grace and love of the mighty God who keeps opening doors for Robby to walk through. Secondarily, the story is the wonderful family of church through support, prayers, and accountability. I've enjoyed meeting and talking to Robby, and I appreciate his talents and faith in God.

This is a common passage broadly used for a variety of situations, and it fits. But the context goes a little deeper and you might be surprised at how much more effective the true message is. For a little insight, Christians CAN struggle with being closed-minded when the truth is presented - especially when that truth happens to convict. There's a temptation to speak hastily and angrily rather than listen. See what James has to offer here. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/cvku6S0HKCs Have a Bible question?

Yes, yes, yes. For the first time in Average Christian history we've used clickbait. There's your full disclosure. It is interesting to look at the absurd efforts Aaron uses to shift blame from his lack of leadership and responsibility. Humility, honor, and honesty are at the core of confession - a key in our relationship with God. Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/1QlOqyoaXn4 Have a Bible question?

It's an interesting question I was asked recently and the answer usually surprises a few. Since the sin in the garden, God has always offered salvation to all people. That salvation has always included key concepts in a conditional relationship. We're used to a salvation through the shed blood of Jesus. But what about those who lived before His sacrifice? #SmallYouTubers #BibleStudy Have a Bible question?
