Salt and Light Podcast: Recent Episodes
Eastpoint Christian Church
Jesus told us to be the salt of the earth and light of the world, but what does that even mean? Each week, we’re going to dive deeper into that question by exploring what it means to abide in Jesus, make disciples, love others and live out the Christian life. There might also be some shenanigans and hijinks as Kurt, Jake, Graham and Adam talk through life.
This week Graham is out, so Jake & Kurt are joined once again by Isaac. They talk about dealing with the consequences of open doors, having an awareness of our deep need for Jesus, clinging to God like our life depends on it, and how to identify what comes from the enemy, what comes from our flesh, and what comes from God.
