124: Does What I Do Now Affect My Eternity?

God’s judgment is not only a difficult idea to swallow, it also leaves us with many questions.

Will God judge everyone based on how we live now?

For Christians, are there different rewards in heavens based on how we live?

If there are different rewards in heaven, won’t that leave people being disappointed or jealous?

On this episode, Ryan Lehtinen, Yancey Arrington, and Lance Lawson discuss these questions and how this impacts our lives today.

123: Female Friendship — The Good the Bad and the Ugly

We are created for relationships with others, but they aren’t always easy.

Women need friendships, but sometimes it feels really hard. Time constraints, gossip, comparison: there is just a lot to hurdle.

How can we find our identity in Christ so that our friendships are healthy, encouraging, and life-giving?

Rachel Chester sits down with Glenna Harding and Lindsey Lehtinen to discuss the challenges and necessity of friendship centered in Christ.

025: The Big Picture – How the Whole Bible Points to Jesus

The Bible is comprised of 66 books, written over a period of 1,500 years, in three different languages, by at least 40 authors, and yet it is one cohesive story of God’s redemption of the world. Ryan Lehtinen talks with Doug Dawson about his journey to understand the big picture of the Bible and how the gospel of grace found in Christ is the culmination of the entire biblical narrative.
