free will or predestined: was Jesus' atonement really for the entire world?

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 22:39:20 GMT

In today's episode we discuss limited atonement. If you find yourself confused over how we can have free will, while God is sovereign over our salvation, this one is for you. I explain my own struggles regarding this doctrine and my journey from arminianism to calvinism.

wolves in sheep's clothing: why we don't deserve God's grace

Let's be honest, listening to a sermon or even reading commentary of Scripture is SO much easier than actually reading Scripture. I didn't understand the need for reading Scripture daily until God showed me the false teachers in the world today. We ought to know what Christianity really is, most importantly, what the Bible says it is. Not simply believing whatever our pastors tell us and "following our hearts". We must know the Word of God, so that we are not led astray. And most importantly, so that we are serving the true Christ. "Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." ~ Charles Spurgeon

How do we experience the "peace of God that surpasses all understanding"? How can we have rest in Christ when life is exhausting? In this episode we discuss repentance, dependence, and trust. We even touch on my own struggles with pride and people pleasing. If you want to know what Scripture says about these topics, this is the one for you.

Chronic Illness, Anxiety, Social Media: A Christian Perspective

Thu, 10 Aug 2023 02:33:22 GMT

What does the Bible have to say about these topics? When life throws curveballs at us, how do we still remain faithful to God? Should we remain faithful? Is He even actually good? My name is Courtney and I explored this deeply once I developed a chronic illness called POTS. I have severe orthostatic intolerance, meaning I can't stand it. No literally, I can't stand or even sit upright for longer than a few hours or I'll pass out. Through Christ I've learned the beauty of suffering in the Christian life. I hope my journey of seeking Christ amidst trying circumstances will encourage you to grow closer to our gracious Lord, Jesus Christ as well. I give Him all the glory. God Bless <3
