Everyday Faith: Recent Episodes
Everyday Faith Podcast
Hey everyone! Little awkward, but we ever posted this last episode! You may have wondered where we went. It'll all be explained in the episode. We didn't quite want to call this the last episode ever. So let's just think of it as Will and Ben going on an indefinite holiday. Thank you so much to all of our loyal listeners, whether you listened from episode one, or this is your first. We love and appreciate all of you and are so grateful for your support in this passion project. God bless you, and may your faith be an Everyday kind of Faith,
Will and Ben
This week we're keeping it light with a conversation about a word that sends some mixed messages: retreat. In the secular world, retreat isn't a good thing! It's an admission of defeat. But as Christians we participate in these weekend long (or longer) events called retreats. As you'll hear, we Christians take a different stance on retreats! It's not about what we're retreating from, but who we are retreating to. Join us this week to learn all about what it means to retreat, what happens on retreats, and why we do it!
Scripture:
1 Kings 19:11-13 - God is in a still, small voice

This was a bit of a unique topic for us in that, this is not something we've heard talked about a lot and were simply giving Will and Ben's opinions or take on it. This week we covered an idea that God laid heavily on my (Ben's) heart. The idea is grace for the people who are in between "just saved" and sanctified. We tend to be very easy on those who have just been saved, and idolize those who have seemingly been totally transformed by the Spirit. But for many of us, we find ourselves in this middle state where we do things that we are no longer new to the faith, but we still have lots of room to grow, and it can be a merciless place! Join us this week as we talk about how we can do better having grace for those in the process of sanctification, and how we can have mercy on ourselves as we walk ever closer towards godliness.
Scripture:
1 John 1:8-10, If we claim we have no sin, we make God out to be a liar, but if we confess, God is faithful to forgive
Romans 3:23, All have sinned and fallen short
1 John 2:1-2, If we do sin, we have an advocate, Jesus Christ
James 5:16, Confess your sins to one another
Romans 6:3-7, We are no longer slaves to sin

There are many, many beliefs in the Christian faith. For many of these things, we need to take a step back and take a deep breath and realize these things are not the end all be all. In this episode, Will and Ben traverse some of the issues that are worth talking about but are not essential. These things don't disqualify you from being a Christian nor do they make someone else less of a Christian. Jump into the conversation and may the conversation drive you to be more engaged with scripture as you struggle through your own theology!
There are many, many beliefs in the Christian faith. Unfortunately, there are many things that we do not agree on as Christians across denominations. When you hear about all the disagreements, it can get a little overwhelming! After all, don't we all serve the same God? Read the same Bible? Why is there so much division and disagreement? It's because, for many people, we have lost sight of what's essential. This week we are going to dig into the essentials of Christianity, the things that we can agree on across denominational, cultural, and every other type of line. Our hope is that, if we can establish what really matters and focus on what we can agree on, maybe one day we can see a truly united Church!

"Follow your heart." It's advice you've probably heard before. If you haven't heard that, then at some point you might have heard "do what feels right" or something similar, or at the very least you've seen it somewhere online. But is it good advice? Scripture seems to tell us otherwise! The truth is, our feelings are fleeting, and oftentimes misleading, yet we build our lives and make decisions based on them. Perhaps many of us are overdue for a shift in our thinking. Join us this week as we talk about how to lead with actions first, rather than our feelings.

Spiritual gifts are always a fun topic for discussion! Who doesn't love taking those gifts tests and learning which gifts they have? The problem is that, as much fun as we have finding what our gifts are, sometimes we don't know how to use them! If we can't recognize what our gifts are, we can't use them, and if we can, it doesn't mean we know how to use them. Even if we have the right tools, it doesn't mean we are using them the right way. Join us this week as we discuss not only how to discover your gifts, but how to use them.
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 - Different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit. This is a list of spiritual gifts for your reference!

Hopefully by now our listeners know that we don't take or endorse this sort of view about life! Unfortunately, as Christians, it can very often be the attitude we take towards people who don't share our views on things. It's the mindset that splits churches, divides denominations, and ultimately leads to brokenness and heartbreak. The thing is, sometimes this mindset almost feels necessary! After all, when it comes to God, we want to be as right as possible! So what do we do when someone, whether it's another Christian or the pastor, believes something that we believe is incorrect about God or our faith? Join us this week as we discuss how to handle differing beliefs amongst Christians with grace and love, and most importantly, mutual respect!
Scripture:
Matthew 18:15-17 - Handling disagreements according to Jesus
Isaiah 55:8-9 - My ways are higher than yours...
Mark 4:30-31 - Heaven is like a mustard seed
Revelation 12:1-6 - The woman and the dragon
Matthew 11:25 - These things have been hidden from the wise
2 Timothy 2:23 - Have nothing to do with foolish controversies

God is love. We see it everywhere, but what does that actually mean? In a language that uses one word to explain our feelings towards hamburgers and our spouses, how can we possibly hope to express what the source of love Himself actually is? Fortunately, others came before us and did a much better job of explaining this whole concept of love, and when we can better understand what love is, we get a better understanding of who God is. Join us this week as we take this verse that has been so widely used, but so little understood, and unpack what it really means, and why it's such a crucial part of understanding God.
Scripture:
1 John 4:8, 16 - God is Love
John 15:13 - Greater love has no one than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends
Luke 10:37 - Go therefore and do likewise

What if, hear me out now, what if God actually meant all the things he said in Scripture? Could He really mean it when He said that He loved the whole world? Is there really going to be a day when every tear is wiped away? Can I do all things through Christ? It's funny the way we read Scripture sometimes. We know it's the Word of God, but sometimes we just don't take Him at His Word. This week, join us as we discuss some passages where we often don't like to take God at His Word, and what the implications could be if we did!
Scripture:
2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness
Matt 4:9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
Psalm 137:9 “Happy is the one who seizes your infants and dashes them against the rocks”
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more...
Luke 17:5-6 "If you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can make mountains move"
John 14:12 "You will do greater things than I" - Jesus
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Matt 21:22 22 And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.”
James 4:2 You do not have because you do not ask
Luke 7:48,50 Your sins are forgiven… your faith has healed you
Ephesians 2:8-9 You are saved by grace through faith and not of works
Mark 9:23-24 “I believe; help my unbelief!”

After Christmas comes New Year! The new year is when many take up a New Year's Resolution! Come and join in on the discussion on New Years' resolutions, or really just resolutions in general.
As we prepare for the new year we go with he reminder of James 4:13-15
It's Christmas! Get ready for some hot takes on the holiday's silliest and most serious debates, and of course, a reminder of the real joy of this season! Merry Christmas to all our listeners!
To find the Christmas story in it's entirety, check out Matthew 1:18-2:23. Astute listeners will notice that I mentioned Luke 2, which also features the story, but is lacking parts. For the fullest version, read both!yjtt
Last week we talked about some serious stuff, but this week we decided to turn the tables a bit! It's important to remember that part of having an everyday kind of faith is understanding that God is with us in all things. That means that God is with us in the valleys of life, but He's also with us on the mountain tops! Join us this week as we share some of the spiritual highs of life and how to find God in those moments of joy and celebration.
Scripture:
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, A time for everything

This week we're going to get a little more serious as we talk about the valleys of life. Whether it's in our jobs, our relationships, our spiritual lives, or any other area, we all go through these low points in life. It can be easy to feel like God is not with us during those times, but often times, God is actually closer with us during the low points than ever! Join us this week as we discuss not only how to see God moving in the valleys, but also some practical steps you can take to navigate them before they even hit!
Scripture:
1 Corinthians 15:55-58, Death, where is your sting?
John 15:14, You are my friends - Jesus
Isaiah 54:5, We are the bride of Christ
Romans 5:3-5, We are shaped by our trials
Psalm 23, The valley of the shadow of death
Matthew 11:28-30, Come to me and I will give you rest

Well, we finally did it, we made an episode about something highly controversial. How is it controversial, you ask? Well, if you ask many employees, God left their workplaces years ago! But seriously, for many of us, the workplace may be one of the hardest places to find God. Some of us have bad bosses, some of us work for companies that don't take very good care of us, many of us have sat through complaining sessions with our coworkers, and we all know the frustration of dealing with difficult clients and customers. It can be hard to live a Spirit-filled life in a place like that! This week, join us as we talk through some of those very difficult circumstances of work and share how to see God, and live a godly life through them!
Scripture:
Ephesians 5:1-20, Guidelines for holy living
Romans 13:1, Honor those in God-given authority
Colossians 3:23, Do everything as though for God
James 5:9, Do not grumble at one another

If ever there was a source of tension in the Church, it's the tension that exists between different generations of people serving the same God. Today we have Gen alpha all the way down to Baby Boomers and the Greatest Generation, however, these divides have existed since biblical times! The problem is, each generation has its own cultural values, shared experiences, and even language differences. The question then is, how do we share our faith across these generational lines? Join us this week as we discuss how to build relationships and grow in faith together, even across the deepest age divides.
Scripture:
Galatians 3:28-29, no slave nor free, Jew nor Greek, etc in Christ
Proverbs 22:6 raise up a child in the way they shall go and when old they won't depart
1 Tim 4:12Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young

We've talked about self-care, along with pretty much everyone who has a podcast out there. But self-care usually focuses on our minds and body. As Christians, we also have to care for our soul though! Soul-care is something we have not done a good enough job talking about, yet we believe that our soul is of such great value! Join with us this week as we talk about how to care for that crucial part of ourselves, our soul.
Scripture:
Matthew 10:28 - Don't fear those who destroy the body, but the soul
1 Corinthians 14:33 - God is not a God of confusion
Psalm 34:14 - Turn from evil and do good
Matthew 11:28 - Come to me and I will give you rest
Psalm 119 - How we should view Scripture
James 5:13-16 - The prayer of faith

Let's be clear, there is sonly one God, one Jesus. Yet, if you ask people to describe who Jesus is or what he's like, you'll get almost as many different answers as people. Some people describe Jesus as one who "came to bring a sword," others as a crucified savior, others a risen one. Some tell the story of God who so loved the world while others tell the story of a wrathful God. The truth is, there is a fraction of truth in each of these, yet all are but a part of the whole picture that is the God of the Universe. This week we'll talk about what it looks like to see the whole God instead of just a part of Him!
Scripture:
John 3:16 - God so loved //John 3:18 - whoever does not believe is condemned already
Matthew 10:34 - not peace but a sword // Luke 2 - Glory to God and peace on earth
Matthew 16:24 - take up your cross //Matthew 11:28 - come to me all who are tired
1 John 4:8 - God is love. // 1 John 3:8 - whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil
On Jesus:
Isaiah 53:2b No beauty or majesty
Isaiah 52:14 Jesus being disfigured (tortured)

Deus ex Singulis, God in the details. Sorry, I told Will I wouldn't make this joke in the podcast, but he can't keep it out of the notes! Anyway, God is definitely big. bigger than our wildest imagination! But so many of the rules in Scripture seem to be about little things. Why does God care about the little stuff like what we say, what we eat, who we're with? It seems so petty sometimes, and yet, God, in His abundant wisdom, guides us through the details of life anyway. This week we're going to talk about how Scripture teaches us about the importance of details, and why even though they seem small, they matter to God and us.
Scripture:
Leviticus... Just, the whole thing. Lots of laws. Good luck!
Matthew 5-7: Sermon on the Mount
Proverbs 24:33-34: A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber, and want like an armed man.
1 John 1:5: No darkness in God
1 John 1:10: Life abundantly

What do we want? CONTENT! When do we want it? ALL DAY EVERYDAY! It seems to be the rallying cry of the young generation right now, our generation. We want content. We want more tv shows, more movies, more books, more video games. And if the story ends we want sequels, we want prequels, we want more content from the same "universe". We consume more content and media than any generation could have ever dreamed. But have we fully understood the impact it has on us? This week we talk about what impact content can and does have on us and the importance of being more choosy in which content we consume.

Let's face it, forgiveness is hard to do. It's more than just letting go, more than moving on, and yet, hard as it may be, it is at the foundation of life as Christians. This week we are going to talk about what forgiveness looks like, how to do it, and who we have to forgive (spoiler, one of them is ourselves!) We'll also be diving into something that you may not have heard as much about. A fun little word called, Reconciliation.
Scripture:
Matthew 5:44 - Pray for your enemies
Matthew 18:23-35 - The unforgiving servant
Matthew 6:14-15 - If you refuse to forgive others, God will not forgive you
1 John 4:20 - If anyone says “I love God” and hates his brother, he is a liar
Luke 23:34 - Father forgive them
Romans 12:19 Vengeance is Gods

All of us are going to mess up at some point. For some it will seem to be just a little misstep. For others, our entire life may fall apart. regardless of how big our fall is, many of us will go through the same thought process, "how do I come back from this?" This week we talk about how to make that comeback after a fall, big or small. We also offer some advice for how to walk with others through the process after their own falls!

The word "ministry" has a lot of meaning behind it, and it's different to every person! A lot of people have fallen for the trap that ministry means pastors, missionaries, and chaplains. Some believe it means working in the church. But truthfully, ministry is much broader and a lot more local. In fact, this week we explain how the best ministry that we can do is not the big stuff with church and missions, but the witnessing we do to the people within five feet of us.

The world has seen a lot of changes in the last few decades. Truthfully, it's always changing. One of the more recent changes has been from active to passive. It's well known that people are much less physically active than ever. Many are seeking passive incomes to supplement their life, or to live off of. The danger in this is when we start to take this passive approach to our faith. Christianity is meant to be a faith that is actively lived out! This week we're going to share some examples and talk about what it looks like to see our faith in action!

Let's face it, as much as some people may want to believe that America is a Christian nation, the fact is, the world isn't a Christian world. But that shouldn't be news to us! We have always known that darkness would be present in this life. The question we are left with then is how do we stand firm in our faith in a world that seeks so desperately to push us away from it? Join us as we discuss how to build a firm foundation in your life and how to maintain your faith in the face of temptation and struggles.

Stories are one of the oldest forms of communication. Since the dawn of language, we have shared our stories and the stories of others to pass on messages, rules, advice, and more. As Christians, our stories are especially important. Our stories allow us to connect with others, believers and non-believers. They also allow us to tell the story of God, how He has shaped our lives, and how He can shape the lives of everyone we know. Your story is unique and powerful, this week, we want to encourage you to share it!

Self-care self-care everywhere, and not a person to do it. Unfortunately, self-care has become a movement, just another phrase stuck in the world of psychological mumbo-jumbo (don't worry, I studied Psychology, I can say that!) But the movement has some very real root and importance. We are fragile creatures, and Scripture attests to this. This week, join us as we talk about the very real need for people to rest and care for themselves as well as some ideas for how to actually do that! And please, take care of yourself!

For a lot of us Christians, the church we go to is our only sacred space. But what if we could turn anywhere into a sacred space? From certain hours of the day, to a closet we can pray in, having a place that we go to meet God is a crucial part of our spiritual health! Listen today to hear about how we can create and use our own sacred spaces.

In this episode, Will and Ben talk about a very misunderstood part of faith called, Deconstruction. While deconstruction is not a new thing, it has been gaining attention in light of modern church views and events. This episode aims to balance out the extremes surrounding deconstruction and help you to see how it does not have to mean abandoning your faith, and can even be a part of healthy spirituality!

In this episode, Will and Ben talk about the current state of worship in the Church. Worship is one of those words that should be loaded with meaning for people, but often gets reduced to a one hour segment of our weekly Church service.

This episode is the introduction to the Everyday Faith Podcast. In this first episode, we are laying the groundwork for the first few weeks of episodes. We will be diving straight into the hard stuff, talking about what we see as the current state of the church in the United States, and particularly among Protestants. From biblical literacy to deconstruction, we're looking forward to addressing some of the biggest challenges facing Christians today, and working with you to learn how you can do something about it in your everyday life.
