Should Christians Embrace Christian Nationalism?

#024 - Are you a "Christian Nationalist?" Should you be? What IS a "Christian Nationalist?" Is American Democracy in danger of being overthrown by crazy and violent "Christian Nationalists?" In this episode I begin to try and unravel these scary words and to figure out what we as Christians ought to do about them. Please listen and then come and tell me your thoughts!

Should Christians Always Be Nice?

#023 - Are Christians being too mean and turning people off to the gospel? Are YOU? Should Christians strive to always be as nice as possible in order to save as many people as possible? What about truth?  How does that fit in? Was Jesus always nice? In this episode I wrestle with whether Christians should be “nice” and how that relates to whether or not we are seeking God for who He actually is or whether we are seeking a God of our own making.

How To Change The World Without Killing Yourself

#022 - Are you one of those types who want to change the world? You are not satisfied with an “ordinary” life? Maybe you are an entrepreneur or a ministry pioneer?  Or someone who wishes to excel in your career? Or maybe you WERE those things, but now you are just disillusioned? Whether the passion still burns strong or you aren’t sure you can take another step, this episode is for you. I (Jon) am that “type” as well. I have noticed that at least some of us who fit into this category have a tendency to neglect or not see the importance of “regular” things in our life. We need help. As a young man or woman (or young at heart who is still going!) who wants to step out and change the world in some way for God you will need equipping to prepare yourself to last for the long haul in this battle. Sometimes, even more than others, we need to know that the Gospel applies to EVERYTHING - every area of our lives. And we need to remember that His yoke is easy and His burden is light.

The Poisonous Voice Of Saruman

#021 - Should Christians be bold or be careful? In a world where lies are carefully crafted to paint truth-tellers as hateful (much like the way the words of Saruman poisoned his hearers in The Lord Of The Rings) what strategy should Christians choose when deciding which words they use and how?  Should we remain silent or speak with boldness despite the risk of being misunderstood? In this episode I wrestle with the questions of wisdom that surround these topics - and how you can work on building your “wisdom grid” and gain a better understanding of how to respond.  Have a listen and then come back with your thoughts!

The Long Term Battle

#020 - Do you feel discouraged or without hope when you watch the news? Does the world seem chaotic and disheartening? Are you tempted to throw your hands in the air and just focus on “eternal things” or “spiritual things?” What if there were a way to fill your soul with enough hope and vision to brighten your whole outlook based on what God plans to do in the long run? You need more than hope for today and tomorrow.  You need the burning vision of the Kingdom of God over the long haul aflame in your soul! In this episode we look at the glorious vision of God for His Kingdom on the Earth that has been established, is happening, and will happen. Let this episode inspire you and reignite a flame within as you soar with new-found faith knowing that no matter how challenging today may seem – perseverance over the long haul brings you closer to the full manifestation of God’s Kingdom!
