231: Why Am I A Christian? | Classic Replay

Today, we have another classic replay that I think has to be one of my favorites. Back on episode 85 (in season 2), Marc and Fuller had a real heart to heart conversation about why we are Christians. Many times on our show, we have a lot bunch of notes, stats, teaching points, theological points, and Scriptures all ready to go, but this conversation is much more personal in nature.
 
The point of this conversation was to (a) let you know why we are Christians and (b) help you answer the question, "so why are you a Christian?" We explore both personal and intellectual reason for the faith that we have and in doing such, we hope you are encouraged in your faith as well.
 
And if you're new to the faith, we hope that this conversation paints a beautiful picture of why Christianity isn't just a blind belief, but it truly is both an intellectual faith and a personal one.

230: I Know God Loves Me, But Does He Like Me? | Classic Replay

Today, we are going back into the archives to bring you a classic replay called "I Know God Loves Me But Does He Like Me?" It was originally released back in Season 2 on December 10, 2020, and I think it's a great one for us to listen to with where many of us find ourselves today. As we enter a new year, we often set new year goals, make resolutions, maybe choose a word for the year, all with the purpose of either growing in our personal lives or growing more in our faith. But what happens when the crap hits the fan and you look back and realize that even though you had good intentions, you feel like you're farther from God than when you started.
 
For those of us who are parents, we know that somedays are harder than others. There's a phrase out there that goes, "we love our kids but at the moment, I don't like them very much," especially when they do things to intentionally hurt us, themselves, or others, and since we often relate to God how we relate to our own parents or our children, maybe you've sat back and wondered, "Does God like me right now?" Maybe you find yourself in a struggle of life, maybe you found yourself all alone, maybe you find yourself at rock bottom.
 
We hope this classic replay encourages to remember that there is nothing that can separate from the love of God.

Advent Reading, Week 5: Jesus Is Here!

This week, we are reflecting on the fifth and final advent candle: The White Candle, symbolizing that Jesus is here!
 
The word advent means “coming” or “arrival” and speaks of Jesus’ arrival that first Christmas morning in Bethlehem.  The season of Advent is a time when we joyously and prayerfully anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ first coming. And, we look forward to His second coming, while also affirming that He is present in the world today offering His redeeming love to anyone who will simply receive it.
 
One of the most beautiful symbols of the Advent season is the traditional Advent wreath. This Advent wreath is intended to help us keep our focus on the real reason for the season – the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Each Sunday leading up to Christmas, we will be talking about a different candle – representing, in order, hope, peace, joy, and love – although we usually light these candles in our homes, we obviously can't do that on the podcast, but we will still talk about the candles as a way to remember each week in the advent season.
 
Thank you for joining us this year during Advent Season!
