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.

Many churches follow the mottos of "we want to be a church that unsaved people love to attend" and "before you believe, you belong with us." Is this the correct mindset to have, and what is the ultimate purpose of the Sunday Morning worship service/experience? We look at what the church is, what the church isn't, and is it such a bad idea to create worship experiences that unsaved people enjoy? Marc and Chris have some different opinions on this topic, so we hope you enjoy the conversation.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Marc and Chris talk about a sensitive topic: what to do when the church hurts you – whether it's the church leadership or people who attend the same church as you. They open up about how the church has hurt them, and Marc even gives the "other side" of the equation of when the church hurts one of their pastors. We hope and pray that this conversation will resonate with you and help you handle those hard relationships that you may have.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Marc and Chris talk all about Thanksgiving and Black Friday....primarily, Black Friday. Black Friday is known as the day to get all the deals, but should a Christian participate in Black Friday? Does Black Friday prove that we actually are not content with what we have? Where did Black Friday even begin? Join us as we dive into these questions and much more on this episode of RTC!

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Chris continues his conversation with Paul Lindgren. In part 2 of their conversation, Paul peels back the layers of his affair — his emotions, his struggles, his pain, his fight. Paul also talks about those friends in his life that reached out to Paul in his sin, and how people who love you are there to guide you to the everlasting truth of God.

In this episode of Real Talk Christian, Chris has a conversation with Paul Lindgreen. Paul is a musician (our podcast's intro music was written and produce by Paul) and one of Chris' best friends. Paul has been on both sides of the conversation when it comes to marital affairs – he had his own affair, came back together with his wife, and then she had an affair on him. Today's conversation is just part 1 of this conversation, but this episode deals primarily with his steps towards him having an affair. We hope that this will help you see the signs and learn some truths about making sure you fight for your own relationship when the time is right.

On this episode of Real Talk Christian, we have a three-way conversation between Marc, Chris, and our friend Brandon Saucier. All three of these guys have different views on how Christians should handle Halloween and if our families should take part in the festivities. And each view goes against the other in some way, shape, or form. We pray this conversation will help you and your family understand this cultural holiday, and how you should handle this holiday. Buckle up!
