Get Your Donut: Recent Episodes
Noah and Becca Reed
We're here to exchange our consumeristic Christianity for a life fully surrendered to Christ -- and to never let our faith be as simple as grabbing a coffee and a donut in the lobby on a Sunday.
On this episode we break down the Bible study method that we introduce in the Study The Word Journal. I walk through why Bible study is important, how we should think about it, as well as break down each step of the Bible Study method we know and love: O-I-G-A-P. Confused by those letters? Listen to the episode to find out what they mean!

This week we wrap up our 3 part series on our story of porn addiction in the midst of marriage. We finish by offering some advice and practical tips on what it looks like to have conversations about addiction whether you're a teenager, parent, single, dating, engaged, or married. These are conversations that have to be soaked in grace and truth and driven by a desire to follow Jesus. With those things in mind, these conversations are often a huge win for the Kingdom and your personal walk with Jesus.
We also announce that on Monday, November 6, we are releasing the Study the Word Journal, our Bible Study Journal that you should check out! It walks you through a consistent Bible Study Method every day, in order to grow your understanding and study of God's Word.

Greed and gluttony are two closely tied sins that arise out of deep heart issues. What has your heart? What has your desire? Do you desire the things of this world more than the things of God? Do we lack self control? Where is the line with gluttony? (Probably between cereal bowls number 3 and 4 for Noah)...
Make sure you listen to this episode to understand why greed and gluttony are damaging your relationship with God.

Grumbling and complaining have become completely commonplace in our culture and relationships. It often seems to be the main way we connect with each other or new people we are meeting. Even though we catch ourselves doing these things often, we wanted to stop and ask, "What does the Bible have to say about grumbling and complaining? Does Jesus care if I complain?" we found out that he does, and for reasons you might not expect.
Tune in to this episode to learn more about why God longs for you to not complain.

1) Context Develops Your Understanding of Scripture
2) Context Informs Your Relationship With God
3) Context Impacts your Application of Scripture

Join Noah as he examines the way that we spend our time. We typically choose isolation or solitude when given time alone. Although they may sound similar, the differences couldn't be more important. Isolation is an unhealthy way to spend our time that pulls us away from health while solitude is a launching pad for life that pushes us towards health, capacity, and more importantly God himself.

Consumerism is a slippery slope in our faith. It causes us to go through the motions and slowly put ourselves at the center of everything. This easily allows us to be apathetic about our sin and how we approach following Jesus. In this episode Noah looks at three reasons you should care about your sin:
-
God cares about your sin
-
God claims you as his own
-
God calls you to grow
Each of these truths hold important information helping us realize the dangers of being apathetic in our relationship with sin.
