As Lutherans young and old head back to Sunday school this fall, Rachel wants to know: How much do you really know about the history of Sunday school?   It's a Trivia Challenge for the back-to-school season, full of eye-opening factoids about the roots of Christian education in the church.   Where and when did the first “Sunday school” begin? What did pastors originally think about this ecclesial innovation? Why were Lutherans late — but enthusiastic — adopters of Sunday school for young people?

Preaching: Mike RothIf you grew up in the church, chances are that you attended Vacation Bible School (VBS) during summer break.

“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Romans 8:1In this episode, Brody walks through Mark 9 and discusses the reality of sin and hell. For those of us who are in Christ, we don't have to fear hell. But, the reality of hell should motivate us to share the Gospel with unbelievers. Brody walks through 3 key things Jesus teaches us about hell in the Bible. Hell is a place of punishment and destruction, and it separates people from God.Because of Christ and what he's done for us on the cross, we are free from the punishment our sin has earned. Let's fix our eyes on Christ and share this good news with those around us. Resources:Mark 9Romans 8:1Heaven by Randy Alcorn 2 Thessalonians 1:91 John 3:2Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

The day-to-day Christian life is not a mountaintop experience. Life is messy and circumstances can cause us to doubt God. When doubt attacks our faith we need to keep pressing into the Lord.In this episode Brody walks through the transfiguration of Jesus, the chaos that meets them when they get off the mountain, and how we should fight doubt. Listen as we consider 5 facets of God's revelation that confirm Jesus' glory. Let's submit our doubt to the Lord and let it grow us closer to Christ.Resources:Respond Women's RetreatLuke 9Mark 92 Peter 1:16-18Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

How do we live faithfully for the Lord and prevent drifting away?In this episode, Brody discusses the life of Demas, why people tend to drift away, and how we can stay faithful. Demas was once a co-laborer with Paul on the mission field, but abandoned Paul when he was needed most. Scripture tells us Demas thought the world offered him something greater than what the Lord provided. People are often influenced by the latest movement or ideology, but these movements don't last. However, the Gospel is unchanging. It is eternal and outlasts cultural movements. Let's hold fast to Jesus and pursue him faithfully.View the SWO StaffJude 2Colossians 4:142 Timothy 4:91 John 2:15Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

Jonah knows he can't escape the presence of God, but he still runs from God. Jonah is continually disobedient throughout the rest of the story, but the Lord is patient.

The testing of your faith will produce steadfastness. In this episode, Brody shares some thoughts from Genesis 22 and describes how Abraham responded to the Lord in obedience. Let's look at this story and have a better understanding of what it is for the Lord to take us through trials to grow our faith. Abraham believed the Lord was going to deliver Isaac. True faith displays itself as simple obedience. Trials give us an opportunity to grow in our faith. Let's walk in faith by obeying the Lord intentionally and aggressively. Resources:James 1:2Genesis 22Romans 8Hebrews 11Apply for Snowbird summer staff here! Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the exposition of Scripture and personal relationships in order to equip the Church to impact this generation.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at https://www.swoutfitters.com/Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

Who is the Devil? Does he have power over us? In this episode, Brody walks through 1 Peter 5 and discusses misconceptions we tend to have about the Devil.The Devil is an enemy to the believer, but he does have limitations. While Jesus is our advocate, Satan is our accuser. Satan has no power outside that which God allows him.Let's have an accurate view of the Devil and recognize him as the enemy.

Just because you get important people to approve what you're doing doesn't make it right. We see this in 1 Kings 1:1-2, where Adonijah sets himself up as king and has support from those around him. He does not seek the Lord in this decision but instead exalts himself to this position. In this episode, Brody walks through this story of Solomon becoming king. Solomon becomes king because of the plan and purpose of the Lord. God's people will always work together to advance his plans and his kingdom. Let's live with conviction and only worry about what the Lord says. 1:1-2 KingsProverbs 16:18Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the exposition of Scripture and personal relationships in order to equip the Church to impact this generation.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at https://www.swoutfitters.com/Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

The beauty of the Gospel exists even in the midst of broken situations. Today, Brody walks through Genesis 34, where Dinah, the daughter of Jacob is defiled and her brothers have to rescue her. This story has no happy ending except for the hope the Gospel offers. There is no redeeming quality in humanity. We need a rescuer. Jesus is that rescuer. Jesus entered into the darkness of humanity to save people who can't save themselves. Listen to be reminded of God's plan of redemption for us. Even when we didn't want it, Jesus came to save us from our sins.Resources:Genesis 34Romans 3:10Ephesians 21 Corinthians 6:9-11Snowbird Wilderness Outfitters exists to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the exposition of Scripture and personal relationships in order to equip the Church to impact this generation.Learn more about our student and adult conferences at https://www.swoutfitters.com/Please leave a review on Apple or Spotify to help improve No Sanity Required and help others grow in their faith.

Abigail is an example of Christ. In 1 Samuel 25, she confronted David and 400 of his men to spare the lives of the men in her town. In this episode, Brody walks through what we can learn from her act of bravery and how she points us to the Lord. Abigail approaches David in humility and boldness as she asks to let all the guilt of her husband fall onto her. She displays deep faith that mirrors Christ to us.What can we learn from her boldness? We need to be a people of faith and action. Abigail's faith was not passive. Everything she did was aggressive but driven by humility. She was faithful right where she was serving. She shows us what humility looks like. Let's learn from her example. Let's be people of action, bravery, and humility. Resources:1 Samuel 252 Samuel 7P.S.

A lot of things that happen in David's life are consequences from his actions. While God forgives us from our sins, there may be consequences that linger. Don't live in shame and guilt over these things, but walk in freedom.Let's think before we speak and post. Let's care about others more than we care about ourselves, but care about our holiness more than anything.

Ask yourself, “How do I become an asset in advancing the kingdom, guarding my holiness, and pursuing the Lord?” We can look at David's life and learn principles that push us towards repentance and dependency on the Lord. There were patterns in David's life that didn't get dealt with and ultimately led him to turn away from the Lord. He needed to address those patterns that lead to sinful and destructive behavior.The problem is, we get too comfortable. We need to surround ourselves with men and women who love us enough to hold us accountable and speak truth in our lives. Let's be good friends, faithful followers to the Lord, and make much of Jesus with our lives. Resources:Summer Staff ApplicationLittle Pilgrim's Progress by Helen TaylorP.S.

Jesus is never random. He is always on mission. When Jesus goes to Jericho, it's to meet and save Zacchaeus. Zaccheaus was hated by the people around him because of his job. He lived a comfortable life—but he didn't have joy. He was seeking Jesus but he couldn't get to Him because of his own limitations. Zacchaeus couldn't save himself because of his own sin. We cannot save ourselves. We aren't saved by good works, but by faith in Christ and His work on the Cross. Faith is always followed by obedience.Resources:Luke 19John 10P.S. If you liked this episode, we'd love to hear your feedback!

In this episode, Brody looks at Daniel's resolve when he was commanded to worship another god. God gave Daniel powerful influence and the Spirit of the Lord dwelled richly in him. Daniel didn't compromise when it came to his relationship with God. The king had no greater ally or asset than Daniel, but he would never worship the king. His walk with the Lord is a picture of consistency.If you walk in the will of the Lord, you're going to face conflict and adversity. Don't put your hope in this world. Daniel didn't compromise. He lived out his faith in a way that others would see the power of God. Jesus is the greater Daniel. Jesus saves, stops the mouths of lions, and is bigger than this world.Learn more – Fall Student Retreats at SnowbirdResources:Daniel 6Deuteronomy 19Romans 11:33-36Congrats to the Brantley family on the giveaway—thanks for listening!P.S.

God is a God of second chances. He gives us a new start in life, and the old life we once lived is gone. In this episode, Brody walks through people in the Bible who received a second chance from God. He looks at the lives of Joseph, Ruth, Rahab, Mark, and others. Throughout their lives we can see the powerful hand of God guiding these people to a second chance. Be encouraged and rest in the truth that He will be faithful to complete the work He started in us.

Are you trying to find peace and joy through what the world offers? Jesus is the only true source of joy and peace. He gives exceedingly more than we could ever ask for. In this episode, Brody walks through John 2, where Jesus performed the first miracle. Jesus always acts according to the will of the Father. When Jesus turned water into wine, he gave the guests a bigger picture of who he was. Jesus is the true source of joy. This isn't about the wine.  We serve a glorious and generous Savior. Life is always going to be hard, but life with Jesus always grows sweeter and better. Resources:1 Corinthians 13:16John 2Psalm 104:15John 10:10Be Strong - Men's ConferenceThe Hiding Place by Corrie Ten BoomP.S.

In today's episode, Brody walks through 2 Samuel 23 and shows what we can learn from the action of David's mighty men. These men show loyalty, unselfish bravery, and the ability to discern the needs of others. They took action and embraced responsibility.The water that these men got for David represents something a whole lot bigger. God has made it clear to David that He has bigger plans for them. The water is about God's promises and David's longing to see those fulfilled. These men are so attuned to the needs of others they acted in a way that drove David to worship God. David's life and kinship foreshadows Jesus' own ministry and work. Jesus poured out His own life to give us salvation and freedom to live in victory over sin. In the end your faithfulness to God will be worth whatever it costs you. Let's learn from the actions of David and his men and worship God by serving those around us well. Resources:2 Samuel 23Mark 14:3-9Matthew 26P.S.

Today Brody jumped back into our Beyond the Flannelgraph series and walked through the life of Daniel. We’re called to be a light in the darkness of this world, and Daniel is someone we can look to as an example. When you face trials in your life, remember that the Lord will use those trials to bring you closer to Him. Every generation of believers has gone through difficulties. Long before the time of Jesus, people joyfully endured persecution based on the fact that Jesus was coming.We have been given a better hope. We have an empty tomb and a better salvation. Have confidence that God will give us the faith to stand firm just as He did for those before us. Hold fast to the promises of God and endure the hard times.ResourcesDaniel 1Hebrews 11Romans 8:17P.S.

It's an honor to welcome Luke T. Harrington to the show. We discuss his 7-year odyssey that spanned 3 different publishers to actually bring this book to life. We reflect on Elisha sending out murder bears to enact vengeance on some rowdy teenagers. Luke shares his favorite bathroom humor (i.e. poop joke) story from the Old Testament. We even ponder why there are so many prostitutes casually mentioned throughout the Bible. Buckle up kids, this one's a wild ride!   Get Luke's book Murder-Bears, Moonshine, and Mayhem: Strange Stories from the Bible to Leave You Amused, Bemused, and (Hopefully) Informed.   For additional show notes, visit ShaunTabatt.com/489.   The Shaun Tabatt Show is part of the Destiny Image Podcast Network.

Have you ever seen this little game: Can You Spot the Difference? I love that game!Today’s flannelgraph foundation story is all about Spotting the Difference in a couple of ways. I want you to do some detective work as I tell the story on our flannelgraph, and see if you can spot the differences in TWO SEPARATE PICTURES we see in the story of Jesus healing a demon-possessed man. Now for those who doubt the existence of demons, or the dark spiritual realm and how it can influence us; for those who think demon-possession is just stuff for hollywood fiction - let me tell you that the Bible is clear that demons do exist. We are told that our struggle isn’t really against flesh and blood; when you get into a long-term bitter feud with a relative, or when you are up against an addiction that you just can’t seem to kick, or when your emotions seem to drive you to lose control - Paul tells us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against the forces of this dark world.The spiritual realm is reality. And we must be aware of that so that we can focus on the real problem, rather than spend all our time and effort putting bandages on the problem when deep surgery is what is needed. It was CS Lewis that said that the greatest trick the devil played on mankind was to make us believe that he wasn’t real. What a great strategy! Now we are constantly distracted from the REAL issue, which allows many people to never be able to find true healing.

Our main story today is actually a smaller story intertwined with another, bigger story that I want to tell you through Flannelgraph today… And the walls came a-tumbling down. Except for part of one wall – a fact that, according to Answers in Genesis, has been confirmed by archeological digs in the ruins of ancient Jericho. A German excavation in the early 1900’s found that on the north side of the site of the ancient city there was a short stretch of the lower city wall that did not fall down as everywhere else. A portion of that wall was still standing to a height of over eight feet. What is more, there was evidence that houses were indeed built against the wall. So it is very exciting to me to read in Joshua 2 of a woman whose home had been incorporated into the city wall.It’s this woman whose story I want to focus on this morning. Her story is why you are holding a scarlet cord today. She is a woman for whom the color scarlet will be forever connected, both as it represents SIN and as it also represents HOPE. Here was a lady whose life truly was hanging by a thread. Her name is Rahab, and her story is there in Joshua 2, as well as in Joshua 6.
