Can a Christian have faith in God but also believe in science? So many Christian put science in one part of their brain and then put faith in a different corner of their brain because modern scientists and atheists say that because of science, we have need for faith. In today's conversation, Marc and Fuller talk about the different types of science, how it's perfectly plausible to have faith but also believe in science, and ultimately, science is not a direct-flight to becoming an atheist.

This week, Marc and Fuller had the privilege to sit down with recording artist John Tibbs and hear what it's like to be a self-made recording artist. We were able to talk with Tibbs about his personal trials and struggles, including a stutter that he had since he was a kid and back problems in the middle of touring season, and how all of this plays into his story of God's goodness. This conversation goes beyond the typical artist interview, so we know that you will enjoy it.
John Tibbs was gracious enough to bless our RTC family with two free music tracks...one that has YET to be released.

As a Christian, how much can we look like the world in how we dress, think, and talk but still be devoted to Jesus? America is quickly becoming a "post Christian" nation and in order to reach America with Jesus, some people are beginning to think differently. Plus, with the rise of Pastors dressing more like the culture, music matching the culture, and Christians wanted to be involved in cultural issues, where should Christians draw the line?
In this episode, Marc and Fuller discuss the idea of Cultural Christianity and Biblical Christianity. One host falls more into the "Christianity mirroring culture" and the other host is more "Christianity not like culture." So, what should Christian do and is there anything that we can do?

For many Christians, doubt cripples their walk with Jesus, but for some Christians, they seem to believe "without a shadow of a doubt" all day every day. So, what happens when we doubt? Doubt can vary from doubting you salvation because of your sin or doubting that God even exists. So, what happens when doubt sets in?
In this episode, Marc and Fuller discuss Christians & doubt. They talk about why is comes about, but more importantly, what we should do when that doubt arises. The conversation of Christians & Doubts takes off at the 15 minute mark.

New Year Resolutions. Every does them; basically no one keeps them. So, what's the point? Should we have New Year Resolutions?
In this episode, Fuller talks about how he doesn't do a New Year Resolution, but rather, he has his "Chris' Life Resolutions"—resolutions that he strives to keep every day that are not tangible but essential. Marc doesn't do resolutions, but rather, chooses one word to carry throughout the entire year. We hope that this episode will give you some new ideas to help make your 2020 the best year yet.

How do you find God's will for your life? Is it like a roadmap, a destination, something where if you miss it, you lose? Finding God's will can cause much anxiety, but does it have to be this way? In this week's episode, Marc gives a new idea on what it means to live inside of God's will and why we don't need to be so stressed about it, and Chris gives his view on God's will and how he strives to follow it. Let's see where we end up.

It's a bonus episode! What does that mean? It means that we're still dropping another episode this upcoming week, but now you have two conversations to join this week.
With Christmas season here, the question of "What should we do about Santa Clause with our family?" often comes up. Marc and Chris take an honest look at where Santa came from, what we should do about it, and how we, as Christians, should handle the idea of telling our kids to believe in an legendary figure.

Should we have unbelievers in mind when designing the Sunday morning worship, or since the church is for the believers, should unbelievers just be an afterthought? In this conversation, Marc and Chris clash in their ideas on their thoughts for honing in on those outside the church, and how the church can both edify the believers while also thinking about the unbelievers. This episode is a follow up conversation to episode 20.
