Navigating Faith and Thinking Critically in Today's World (feat. Chad Ragsdale and Daniel McCoy). Welcome back to the Real Life Theology Podcast. In today's episode, Chad Ragsdale, the Academic Dean at Ozark, and Daniel McCoy, the Editorial Director for Renew.org, explore the importance of critical thinking and a biblical worldview for Christians navigating today's complex cultural challenges. This session was taken live from an Event at Ozark Christian College, therefore I am honored to get to share it with you today. They introduce their new book, 'The Disciple's Mind,' aimed at encouraging Christians to think more biblically and critically. The session includes discussions on the impact of competing ideas in society, the necessity of loving God with our minds, and practical advice on promoting unity and thoughtful engagement within the church. The speakers also address common obstacles to effective thinking, such as tribalism, emotional reasoning, and the influence of technology. This insightful session, enriched by audience interaction, emphasizes the importance of wisdom, understanding, and empathy in our responses to both cultural issues and within church communities.

Should a Christian join a militia? Does the Bible say anything that would apply to militias?

What does the Bible say about soldiers? The commandment to not kill actually refers to the word murder, which is unjustified killing. A soldier should never murder people just like any other person should not. When someone is shooting at you (trying to kill you in some way) and your fellow soldiers, it is not murder to fight back, to even strike first to save your life. At the point of actual combat it becomes self defense, because if you did nothing then you and your soldiers would be killed. If you are in a just war (actually fighting for something good like freedom) then it is justified on both the self defense and the cause. This episode goes into the actual scriptures that deal with this as well as "turning the other cheek". The Bible does not contradict itself and even Jesus showed us and TOLD us what is the right thing to do. This is a must listen for military members, their families, and those who feel the patriotic pull to join up! Be confident in your faith and be proud of your decisions. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pastor-steven/support

In this episode, John and Dylan talk about the Bible's position on war, self-defense, and pacifism as they seek to answer the question- Can a Christian serve in the military? This one will get you thinking and show how a Christian should consider ethical questions with biblical principles.

How much sports is too much? Can we be a fan of sports and still be Christian? Join us as we talk about the role of sports and our faith. “Physically, Samson was the strongest man upon the earth; but in self-control, integrity, and firmness, he was one of the weakest of men. Many mistake strong passions for a strong character, but the truth is that he who is mastered by his passions is a weak man. The real greatness of the man is measured by the power of the feelings that he controls, not by those that control him.” PP 567 Check out our episode in Youtube here: https://youtu.be/4CIyZLZZS30 Find out more about us here: https://trendingup.wixsite.com/podcast Chantal's Fitness Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/chan.ptfit/

Could the answer be so simple? Could our quest to discover what is a Christian be wrapped up in so few words? Love the Lord your God, love your neighbour as yourself.

In the wake of all of this religious division and Christian insanity - or Christinsanity (stop trying to make fetch happen!), I had a listener ask for advice on how to talk with people that didn’t believe the same way they did. Let’s talk about how to talk with people who don’t believe like you. If we can see the common humanity in the ‘other’ we can walk out our faith in a meaningful way. Being hateful and angry is so 2016. So how do you evangelize the Right-leaning conservative Christian? Join us to find out how to talk to people. Come along for the ride as we skewer through life, culture, and spirituality in the face of a changing world.

The recent Pew research religious survey and study found that 72% of American's identify themselves as Christians and yet 64% of them say that "many religions and paths can lead to God and salvation". So less than 35 % of identified Christians believe that faith in Jesus Christ alone is the only way to eternal life and a right relationship with God! One of the core and foundational beliefs of Christianity and only 3 out of 10 Christians hold it as a conviction? So who gets to decide what it means to be a Christian? Join as we examine the Rise of a Cultural Christianity in America that has a "form of godliness but denies the power of God". Why is this happening and growing and what can the church do to change direction?

“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus” The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question. Christian? - “A Desire to Share” #1. That’s the example of the early church. Acts 2 – they started where they lived Acts 8 – they went to surrounding areas Acts 13 – they went all around the world Acts 4: 20 "...for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard." "Do I have the can’t heppits?" #2. That's the command we've been given. Acts 1: 8 "...but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." Matthew 28: 18-20 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. John 20: 21b ...as the Father has sent Me, I also send you. Matthew 4: 19 And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Jesus last words (paraphrased): "Okay, kids. Take the Good News to everyone. See you when I get back." #3. That's the response of a changed life John 4: 28-30, 39-42 So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men, 29 "Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?" 30 They went out of the city, and were coming to Him. 39 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all the things that I have done." 40 So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days. 41 Many more believed because of His word; 42 and they were saying to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this One is indeed the Savior of the world." Ways to share Jesus: #1. seek to live a Godly life in front of others #2. look for doors to open daily (especially offer to pray with people) #3. be more intentional at times What’s the “Big Idea” today? A big indicator that I am a child of God is having a desire to share Him with others.

“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus” The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question. Christian? - “When You Keep Coming Back” 1 Peter 1:3-5 Romans 8:38-39 Philippians 1:6 John 10:27-30 1 John 5:13 #1. Some “believers” are short-lived. Matthew 13:20-21 #2. There are many seasons to life. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 Psalm 37:25a #3. A true believer keeps coming back. Hebrews 10:39a Mark 14:71-72 Steps to follow when coming back to God: - rejoice that you keep coming back - figure out how to keep that from happening again - make the times you stray shorter (with God’s help) - get involved in serving others I John 2:19 What’s the “Big Idea” today? A true Christian continues to be drawn back to God.

“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus” The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question. Christian? - “Obedience” #1. Why obedience is important John 14: 15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I John 2: 4-5 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected/reached its intended result. By this we know that we are in Him. Matthew 7: 21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. James 2: 14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? “Saying I have faith, with no follow-through, is no real faith at all.” #2. What obedience looks like - know what God says John 10: 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. - believe what God says John 14: 21a He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me. - do what God says - living it out James 2: 14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? - do what God says - our approach to sin Ephesians 5: 3 But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. (NIV) I Thessalonians 5: 22 abstain from every form of evil. Proverbs 5: 8 Keep your way far from her and do not go near the door of her house... I John 3: 9 No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. #3. When obedience gets hard Matthew 26: 41b the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. times it’s hard to obey... - when you don’t feel like it - when it doesn’t make sense - when it costs - when you are being hit hard - when you’re tempted

“Christian? What it means to be a follower of Jesus” The word is used by a lot of people, but what does it mean to be a Christian? Join us as we study God’s Word to find the answers to this question. Christian? - "Love for Others" I John 4: 7-8 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. 8 The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love. Love is: - commitment without condition - living sacrificially for the good of another #1. A love for God Mark 12: 30 you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. Matthew 10: 37 He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. #2. A love for fellow believers John 13: 34-35 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35 By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. I John 3: 14a We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love the brothers. (ESV) #3. A love for the world I John 2: 15-16 Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten/one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. Luke 19: 10 For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. I John 3: 18 Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.

Shows repentanceMark 1: 4 John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.Matthew 4: 17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”Mark 6: 12 They went out and preached that men should repent. II Corinthians 7: 9-11 - it’s not just feeling bad - it’s not earning God’s favor - it’s not trying to be perfect - it’s not giving up a few things just to make God happyA Changed and Changing Life...#2.
