Welcome back to Stay True Podcast! In this episode we explore what it means to be a Christian, how to handle suffering and hate as a Christian, how to stay firm in your faith under trial and temptation, and how to embrace the cost of following Jesus. Following Jesus does not promise a life of ease and comfort, for it will come with challenges, criticism, and maybe getting canceled or rejected by friends or family, but it also comes with inexpressible joy, peace, purpose, and a hope for heaven and eternal glory. Join us as we dive into what it really means to be godly in an ungodly world and the suffering and hate that may come as you take a stand for Truth and speak Truth. Stay you and stay true! We also talk about: - What it means to be a Christian - The Christian public life and private life - Suffering for being a Christian - How to respond to hate with love - Unwavering Faith in the midst of hardship and suffering - Living with eternal perspective AND SO MUCH MORE!

Explore these important themes, topics, and questions: Forgiving ourselves and othersGod's promise to heal us all and His perfect perspective of who we are, despite our poor choicesWhy grief is Christian How focusing on God's promises can help us as we grieve (and help us to help others in their pain and grieving)—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Invitation: Consider at least one thing that you can forgive yourself for, and remember that God sees you perfectly.

I was told that a drunk driver had crashed his car through the glass into the lobby of a bank. When the bewildered driver saw the security guard with his weapon brandished, he cried, “Don't shoot! I'm a Mormon!”The inebriated driver was discovered to be a member of my ward, baptized only recently. As I waited to speak to him in the bishop's office, I planned what I would say to make him feel remorseful for the way he had broken his covenants and embarrassed the Church. But as I sat looking at him, I heard a voice in my mind say, just as clearly as if someone were speaking to me, “I'm going to let you see him as I see him.” And then, for a brief moment, his whole appearance changed to me. I saw not a dazed young man but a bright, noble son of God. I suddenly felt the Lord's love for him. That vision changed our conversation. It also changed me.” (2017–A:82, Henry B. Eyring, “Walk with Me”)“Please know that grief is the natural by-product of love. One cannot selflessly love another person and not grieve at his suffering or eventual death. The only way to avoid the grief would be to not experience the love; and it is love that gives life its richness and meaning.” [But If Not, October 2002, Elder Lance B. Wickman]“Years ago a friend of mine spoke of his grandmother. She had lived a full life, always faithful to the Lord and to His Church. Yet one of her grandsons chose a life of crime. He was finally sentenced to prison. My friend recalled that his grandmother, as she drove along a highway to visit her grandson in prison, had tears in her eyes as she prayed with anguish, “I've tried to live a good life. Why, why do I have this tragedy of a grandson who seems to have destroyed his life?” The answer came to her mind in these words: “I gave him to you because I knew you could and would love him no matter what he did.” There is a wonderful lesson for us all. … Heavenly Father and His Beloved Son love all of God's children no matter wh

Welcome to the last episode in this series, Strong Boss Bitches with Monica Morton, a private detective, crime expert for a true crime TV series, and a life coach. Over the past several weeks, we've been talking about how to be your best and baddest strong boss bitch self. To close out this series, we're talking about religion and spirituality. We're questioning why so many people who practice religious doctrine are not also practicing kindness and love. We're calling out those who use the Bible to pick and choose how they inflict judgment upon others. Ask yourself some tough questions: Do you practice religion for yourself or to judge others? Do you use religious doctrine as a way to practice hate? Too much trust in a religious institution can make you second guess your intuition. If you're so busy practicing religious protocol that you've lost a sense of love and compassion for humanity, it's important to find your spiritual path. No matter whether you believe in God or the universe or another divine being, we all have spiritual gifts that we should be using to bless others. Stop judging, and start loving. What's in this episode: The fact that religion and the bible are founded in patriarchy and hierarchy How religion is often veiled hatred Prejudice is not Christianity Why it's important to consider the bible with discernment The physical location of the church isn't what makes you a Christian How to practice spirituality without judgment Why perfection and shaming doesn't get you anywhere For full show notes, resources, and links, head to: https://www.meredythwillits.com/podcast Are you ready to go deeper?

Many in our culture today claim to be Christian, but have radically different beliefs. So how does someone know if they're a Christian- How do they know if they're saved- Pastor Tim looks at Mark 10 to decipher how one truly has eternal life in heaven.
Can faith and doubt coexist in the life of a Christian- How could this father believe but not believe- These questions and more are answered in this timely sermon-
Colossians 1:19-22 Ezekiel 37:1-14God reconciles man to God – He is the only one who can do this but why does he need to? Can we reconcile ourselves to God? The problem as always is our sinful nature and that we are sinners and God is Holy – the two cannot mix and so the "sin problem" has to be dealt with before we can be reconciled to God.Reconcile – To make things compatible with each other that are incompatible!This is what Jesus does and he is the only one who can do it!1 Timothy 2:5John 14:16The way to God is through Jesus and Jesus only – The Colossian Church had listened to false teaching that said it was Jesus plus other things and Paul wants to remind them that it’s Jesus plus nothing or it isn’t really Jesus at all? Universal faith? – all roads lead to God in the end – Not True – Only Jesus leads us to God and anything else diminishes what Jesus did by going to the cross and dying for us. If all roads lead to God why did Jesus need to die at all?Romans 5:1Jesus had to save us and bring peace to our relationship with God by Jesus blood on the cross – the great sacrifice for our sinsWhat is our position before this?v21 – You were far away from God – You were his enemies separated by your evil thoughts and actions (Sin)BUT NOW – he has reconciled you to himself through Christ Jesus and you now stand Holy and blameless.Ephesians 2:1 – You were dead in your trespasses and sins and separated from God without hope.v4 : How does God make us alive through Christ when we are dead? He breathes the life giving spirit into our souls and makes us alive to Christ – If you are dead you need a miracle and you need the breath of life breathed into you –Just the same as we read in Ezekiel 37 – The bodies are complete but they have no breath in them – Until God comes and breathes LIFE into themv14 : This is what God does when we become a Christian – death to life by the living power of God’s breath – Remember he is creator God and has been since the beginning of time – It’s what he has always done Genesis 1:7 : Jesus in his Ministry breathed life into Lazarus when he had been dead for 4 days and Martha said it was too late. Even Martha didn’t realise that Jesus had power over death and the tomb and that all was not lost – the breath of God raised Lazarus from the dead because his breath brings life!John 11:25 : Jesus died and was laid in the tomb for three days. The life giving breath of God was breathed into him and he was raised from the dead – because God’s breath brings life – as soon as he met the disciples after he was raised from the dead he breathes life into them.John 20:21 : The Hebrew word for this breath is RUACH – it’s a wind, a life force that sustains all living things – human beings included. This living breath is the same today. God wants to breathe his life into you and you will never be the same again. No one is too far away – no one is so dead they cannot be saved – nothing is impossible with God!Song – Zach Williams – RattleSince when has impossible stopped you , He can restore anything he wants toQuestions:1. Does the passage from Ezekiel 37 help us understand the power of God and the power of his breath? Think also of Genesis?2. The picture of us being dead and then being made alive by Jesus Christ is very powerful – do you understand that is what happened to you when you became a Christian – How does that make you feel?3. We all have people in our minds that we think are nearly saved and those that we think are a million miles away! Pray for those who you think are impossible because nothing is impossible with God. Don’t give up praying!4. In preparing this talk I just wanted to worship God for his life giving power and that he has breathed life into my soul – let us worship together and thank him for his amazing love – Read Ephesians 2:4-10 – that will help!

Most of us would agree that 2020 continues to be one of the most trying years in our adult lives. So much change. So much pain. So much conflict. I’m talking to a lot of leaders these days who are just plain tired. They are struggling to be hopeful. We need a vision of how this year could actually be an opportunity and not just a challenge. That’s why I’m especially glad to be sharing my recent conversation with Tod Bolsinger about his book, Tempered Resilience: How Leaders Are Formed in the Crucible of Change. Many of us just might say that we’ve experienced more change in this single year than we had faced in just about any previous year. Sometimes change can be refreshing and envigorating, but a lot of the change we’ve faced this year has been painful and draining. I’ve needed to gain the perspective of living in an eternal kingdom in the midst of a very challenging season. That’s why I’m so glad to share a recent conversation I had with Tod Bolsinger about his latest book, Tempered Resilience. He uses the core image of a blacksmith turning scraps of iron into beautiful and useful tools to describe how God just might use seasons like the one in which we find ourselves to help us remember who we really are and to engage in the very good work God has actually entrusted to us. We have good reason to be very hopeful. Tod Bolsinger is the vice president and chief of leadership formation and associate professor of leadership formation at Fuller Theological Seminary. He is the author of Canoeing the Mountains: Christian Leadership in Uncharted Territory, It Takes a Church to Raise a Christian: How the Community of God Transforms Lives, and Show Time: Living Down Hypocrisy by Living Out the Faith.

Luke 23:44-56 Sermon Notes:1) Stop and pay attention! (How the Centurion eventually understood) v.44-47 2) Think for yourself! (How the crowd eventually understood) v.48-49 3) Look out for his kingdom, not yours! (How Joseph understood even though the council missed it) v.50-56 Reflection Questions:1. How can you take time to slow down in your life and focus on Jesus to prevent what happened to the Centurion? 2. We know the gospel means both these statements are true "you are more sinful than you can see" but also "you are more loved than you can imagine in Christ". Which do you struggle more with? 3. What other "benefits" do you receive from being a Christian? How might those things become idols in and of themselves if you forget they are good gifts from God? 4. How might you feel if you were in the crowd crucifying Jesus and he looked at you? What expression would be on his face?

Some questions answered include: What does it mean to submit to governing authorities? How do we do that in the United States? When should we be disobedient?

Here's a new word for your vocabulary: syncretism. It describes what happens when beliefs and customs from a variety of sources merge and become a kind of secular religion. There were Jewish Christians in Antioch who only shared the good news with other Hebrew-speaking people. But, when persons who spoke the common language of the world shared Jesus with others like them, they were the first to be called Christians. What does it mean to be a Christian? How can Christian Believers separate themselves from the syncretized Church?
Is there a difference between nationalism and patriotism for a Christian? How do Christians respond to human authorities? Our Fall Sermon Series continues as Rev. Peter Jonker takes us through 1 Peter. The Scripture passage is 1 Peter 2:11-17.
This week's episode is centred around whether self-help ideas align with faith. The gospel teaches that we should put God first in all we do and ourselves last. Self-help teaches that you are the author of your own life and you need to put yourself first. However, focusing on yourself too much can lead to idolatry. Lu is joined with Hazel as they discuss these topics and how they remain focused on what is eternal. The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. - Proverbs 13: 3-5TOPICS: - Can faith and self-help coexist? - Is our generation too self-obsessed in the quest for perfection? - How do you avoid developing an unhealthy self-fixation as a Christian? - How do you maintain your relationship with God whilst working on personal development? - Bible verses which motivate us in our personal development journey Instagram: @levelupwithluGet in touch: levelupwithlu@gmail.comHazel's blog instagram: @memoirsdaily

Our faith guides us in all that we do. It is what enables us to manage This Grit and Grace Life. Since we believe we serve a personal God who cares about every aspect of our life, we realize that getting to know him better makes a huge difference. Faith helps us navigate all the challenges we face with the assurance that there are answers to our problems. In this episode, we’re bringing it back to the basics.

In this inteview you will hear the pain of a man who hurts because of friends who refuse to believe that systematic racism is a problem for the church.Listen as he tells how he coaches his sons to prevent them from becoming objects of racial violence. Hear his heart when he says that making disciples of Jesus is the answer, but that disciplemaking must include rejecting sin, including the sin of racism.Gather two or three books to help you understand these things from a paradigm unlike what you've previously understood:A Story of Rythm & Grace by Jimi Calhoun, a Hope Chapel pastor who played alongside some of the biggest names in rock music.Before becoming a pastor, he worked with,Jimi HendrixEtta JamesHank Williams Jr.John LennonElton JohnMick JaggerThe Four TopsMartha and the VandellasRare EarthIn "A Story of Rhythm and Grace," Calhoun weaves together engrossing stories about racial differences and reconciliation from his life in the music world and his life in the church. Reflecting on how he has often found more racial harmony on the stage and in the recording studio than in the pews, Jimi shows what religion might learn from rock and roll."As an African-American growing up in the 1950s and '60s, Calhoun knows firsthand about the effects of racism. His personal anecdotes about this period are eye-opening, heart-wrenching and exciting. . . . His historical and sociological insights about racism and the civil rights movement are fascinating. . . . Those looking for an unusual perspective on one of the most turbulent times in recent U.S. history will be intrigued."--"Publishers Weekly ""I love Jimi's heart. He's written "the right book at the right time." This book is a great read!"--Dr. John, musician"Jimi Calhoun is a rare combination of storyteller, sage, artist, and pastor. Reading this warm-hearted, encouraging, and challenging book is like sitting down with Jimi for a dozen leisurely lunches and talking about what it means to be human beings with different skin tones and different histories. I hope and pray that this book will infuse hundreds of thousands of pastors, small group leaders, neighbors, and coworkers with new rhythm and grace."--Brian McLaren, author of "A New Kind of Christian"How to be White in a Black Man's World, by Myron Pierce.Myron is lead pastor of Mission Church in Omaha, the hub of a church multiplication network stretching across the United States, Africa and the United Kingdom.
