Step out of time and enter the realm of God as we explore one of the most profound and elusive attributes of God – His eternity. Imagine a Being that was, is, and will always be. Difficult to wrap your head around? That's exactly what we're here to discuss!
God's attribute of eternity isn't merely a theological concept or philosophical curiosity; it fundamentally shapes our understanding of the divine and impacts how we view our own existence. If God is truly eternal, then He exists outside of time and isn't constrained by its limitations. But what does this mean for us, His creations who exist within time? How does this influence our faith, our spirituality, and our day-to-day living? In this episode, we delve deep into these thought-provoking questions, unpacking the concept of divine eternity and its implications for human beings.

Charles Allo is the Assemblies of God district Youth Director in Louisiana. He's a great thinker joining the table with us today to iscuuss the uptrend of deconstruction in the the church. But what exactly is deconstruction?
Deconstruction doesn't necesarily mean "ddemolition" but it is a "beaking down" of what once was. When it comes to faith, this doesn't have to be a bad thing but the current trend of deconstruction causes some concerns. Listen in on why we think that is.

This makes Him unlike any other being we know and helps us to understand many other qualities of God.

Does God seem complex and difficult to understand? Sometimes the answer seems to be yes, but the good news is that at His core, God is not complex at all Sean & Khalil discuss God's simplicity, an essential attribute of God that makes Him who He is essential good news for us. While God possesses many attributes, as discussed on this show, His nature is simple in that it cannot be divided, segmented, or broken up into different parts.

When you think about "image," what comes to mind? Grasping the importance of being made in God's image is one of our spiritual essentials but most people don't have a good understanding of what it means. In this episode, Sean & Khalil explore the biblical narrative surrounding God's Image and explore how a deeper understanding of what scripture says here shapes and changes how we live, what we live for, and how we share God with those around us. In summary, We were created for the purpose of imaging God. Sin is the failure to be righteous and to image the Creator as we were made to; it is falling short of the image of God by failing to represent His character and communicable attributes in creation. But Jesus frees us from sin and invites us back to God's original plan for his creation. resources For more conversations like this one, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen, give us a rating and follow us on social media Follow & Support Follow us on Instagram https://www.patreon.com/wtttpodcast (Support us on Patreon)

Who is God? What is he like? How do we know? These questions have shaped the life and faith of generations of Christians and non-Christians alike.

what's one of the most subtle and socially acceptable sins of social media today? One word: Slander. If we are made in the Image of God to reflect him to the world around us, how does that impact the way we live and relate on social media and in digital spaces? We have embodied beings (we have a body) in an increasingly disembodied world. There are many things we would never do in person that we consider okay on social media. Sean and Khalil wrestle with this topic and how Christians are meant to live in digital spaces - something the Bible may not speak directly about, but to which it still has plenty to say.

In celebration of Christmas, we're learning about the Incarnation and how it changes everything for us. The term "incarnation" is a huge doctrine so this certainly is not an exhaustive exploration of this doctrine. But hopefully, this episode can spark your wonder, and spur on the conversation around the table. May you encounter the God who is with you.
The heart of God is for lost people and the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) is what our lives are meant to be all about. Did you know 42% of the world has never heard the Gospel? With special guest Micah Mac, this episode is a rallying cry calling us to live our lives with intentionality and purpose for the lost people of the world. Look forward to practical advice and tips but also a heavy challenge for all of us.

The word evangelism is either a buzzword that means everything or a confusing term that means nothing to many of us. But what is evangelism really? And if it's an essential part of the Christian life and witness, how do we do it well? That's our conversation with Andy Zeizmer from A Jesus Mission; they actively live out the Great Commission, seeking to proclaim the name of Jesus through everyday means and both ordinary and extraordinary methods around the world.

this time on the podcast we want to introduce you to one of the spiritual disciplines that most affect the development of our hearts. The Christian spiritual discipline of memorization; also known as scripture memorization. The process of memorizing scripture is so powerful because it moves the word of God from a collection of words we merely process cognitively into something that transforms our heart spiritually; it becomes deeper than knowledge, it becomes part of our very being as image-bearers. When scripture becomes a part of who we are, there is no other option but for the word of God to flow from us through our words, our actions, and our character and transforms our lives.

Many Christians have read Jesus' famous words in The Lord's Prayer from Matthew 6:10. "Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." The question that verse immediately sparks is... well, how? What does the Kingdom of Heaven look like? How do we bring the Kingdom of heaven here in our daily lives? With special guest, Jeff Sandstrom, we explore exactly what that looks like and what that means for an everyday follower of Jesus like you.

In this conversation around the table, we're chatting with Jeff Grenell about biblical sexuality. It's a conversation we often don't engage in much within the church and is a sorely needed conversation in a world of confusion around topics of sexuality. Jeff is a youth ministry specialist with four decades of experience! He is the founder of Ythology and teaches at North Central University in Minneapolis Minnesota. This conversation is built around Jeff's brand new book where he delves into topics like the present sexual revolution in America, over-sexualization in culture, the lack of influence of a healthy family and marriage on teens, homosexuality, dating relationships, virginity, gender nonconformance, and other vital (and often thorny) issues. We highly encourage you to pick up a copy for yourself.

How did Jesus know what to do each day as he fulfilled his mission and lived obediently to God? How did he discover his daily instructions from his Heavenly Father? The answer is found through a regular and routine life in prayer. Do you ever feel like nothing happens when you pray? Let's redefine why we walk with God and what it is we're looking for in our walk with Him. Tom Bachman of Oregon Youth Alive reminds us that prayer is meant to change us, to help us see the world through God's eyes, and to jump-start our faith as we're getting started.

It might be a surprise to some that research shows the reality that most American's have a very minimal concept of what the Biblical Gospel truly is. While there might be a culture of Christianity, it has no power to save you or change you. True transformation and spiritual renewal are unleashed through the power of what we're calling "Gospel fluency". David Hertweck, lead pastor of Trinity Assembly in Clay New York, unpacks what it truly means to be Gospel fluent and how that changes the way we live from preaching the Gospel to taking out the trash.
