We are created for work, but what about rest?

In today’s episode, Aaron Lutz sits down with Ryan Lehtinen and asks about his recent sabbatical, lessons he learned, and the need we all have to both work and rest.

152: What Did God Create Me to Do for His Mission?

We are all created and called to take part in God’s mission, but what does this mean for each of us individually?

How can we discover the unique ways God has gifted us?

Where do we begin to serve?

In this episode, Rachel Chester talks with Bruce Wesley and Chris Alston about the beautiful diversity and necessity of each member of God’s family and how we can all find our place in his mission.

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.

28: 2020 – Why Do Bad Things Happen?

Aric and Lance close out 2020 with a question most of us wonder about at times: why do bad things happen?

068: God With Us

How is it possible that a baby in a manger is the God who creates, saves, and reigns? Why does God’s presence with us even matter? Rachel Chester sits down with Jenna Kraft, Tiffany Ravedutti, and Mandy Turner to talk about our God who rules all and dwells among us, and why this changes everything.

27: David & Goliath

A fight between an armored warrior and a shepherd boy with a hiking stick and sling doesn’t seem fair. But what if we’ve been focused on the wrong details in this Old Testament story? What if the story of David and Goliath is really a story about Saul? Find out more in this episode of Who’s in the Bible.
