Tune in as we attempt to bridge the gap from the Israelites in the Old Testament finding the Promised Land and wandering in the wilderness to the our daily walk today.
Luke 12:11-12 is the jumping off point for this episode but we touch on several different things during this one. From the prompting of the Holy Spirit to Call of Duty, peanut oil, a weed sprayer and Tiger Woods, this episode was a blast to record and we hope you get a few laughs out of it but hear the meat of our conversation regarding the Holy Spirit.
We take a different approach in episode 5. Instead of coming in with a planned topic of discussioin in mind, we each discuss what the Lord has laid on us during the past week and ultimately discuss how Jesus is the ultimate answer to every question we have. This was a really encouraging episode to be apart of and we hope it is for you as well.

We are down a man as Jonathan is away at the beach but join us as we talk about the supremacy of Jesus and an awesome passage in the book of Colossians.
Faith without works is dead? Join in and listen as we tackle a passage that is often taken out of context. It is by faith alone that we are justified, our works are just an outflow of the living faith we have. Tune in as we go through James 2:14-26.
Tune in as we jump into the fruit of the holy spirit, as Paul talks about in the book of Galatians, and how it is ultimately manifested in our lives.
We dive into what Christianity is and have an open discussion about how our identities are found in Christ and how that impacts our daily walk and the way we go about our lives.
Welcome to the first episode! This episode is just an overview and explanation of our intent and why we are doing this. We hope you come along for the ride!
