Ambassadors For Christ: A Deep Dive

Episode 14: Prayer

In this episode Walker, Denver, and Marleigh take on the topic of prayer. They have a special guest co-host with them: Eli Sharp. They start by explaining the definition of prayer, giving their own insight and real life examples. They go over all the aspects of prayer: what it is defined as, what it looks like in real life, secret places to pray, what to do when you don't feel like it, or when its hard to pray why should you continue? They speak on examples of prayer in the Bible through Moses, David, and Abraham. They emphasize that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue. They urge listeners to be ok sitting in God's presence, and hearing Him speak, not just using Him as a therapist and not letting him speak back to you. They speak about going through seasons and how it won't always be good times and also will not always be bad times, they use examples from Ecclesiastes 3 and Psalms 13, 18. They end with speaking on the action of not being afraid to ask others to pray for you and, as well as, not being afraid to ask others if they themselves need prayer.

Episode 13: "3 Part Spiritual Gifts Series" - Ephesians 4: 1-16

In this episode Walker, Denver, Marleigh, and Bree finish up their "3 Part Spiritual Gifts Series" with Part 3, going over Ephesians 4: 1-16. They start by talking about their busy weeks and the upcoming future of their lives. With graduation done and a new chapter upcoming they ask for prayer and tell for their reliance and trust in the Lord. Starting the scripture they explain how the body of Christ, or the church, is all one body, interconnected as one. The gifts we receive from God are ones supposed to be used to build up the church and the people of God and to bring people closer or even into a relationship with Jesus. We are all one people and shouldn't treat another as higher or lower than others. They continue talking about the gifts talked about in the scripture: Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers. This is commonly known as the "5 Folds of Ministry". They explain each gift in detail and context. They end out the series of Spiritual Gifts by again explaining that each gift that was talked about during the series again is supposed to be used for the good of glorifying God and also encouraging and building up the body, church, of Christ.

Episode 12: "3 Part Spiritual Gift Series" - Romans 12: 1-8

In this episode Walker, Denver, Marleigh, and Bree continue their "3 Part Spiritual Gifts Series" with Part 2. They go over the scripture of Romans 12. They start by explaining the start of "offering your body as a living sacrifice," explaining how we should present ourselves in this world as a follower of Christ and how to continue in this life. They continue by talking about how, like in the previous podcast, that no gift is greater than another, they are all used for one purpose: to build up and encourage the body of Christ. They also go over the gifts that are talked about in that piece of scripture in verses 6-8. This passage explains many different gifts. Like 1 Corinthians it talks about prophecy, but also differed in it, it talks about service, teaching, encouraging, giving, leading, and mercy. They explain each one thoroughly and give real life examples and biblical stories as well.

Episode 11: "3 Part Spiritual Gifts Series" - 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11

In this episode Walker, Denver, Marleigh, and Bree go over a topic that took much deliberation, confusion, and conversation. They discuss the topic of Spiritual Gifts. They decided that this would be a 3 Part Series of spiritual gifts discussing 3 different pieces of scripture. The first piece of scripture in the 3 part series is 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11. This passage talks about "manifestation of gifts by the Holy Spirit". The passage discusses healing, faith, tongues, interpretation of tongues, miracles, prophecy, knowledge, wisdom, and discernment of spirits. They go into much detail of each gift talked about in the scripture, but remind the listeners that they don't know everything and are trying their best to do justice to all pieces of scripture. They thank Mrs. Fulton for the topic of "spiritual gifts" that made them research and deliberate much over. They speak about the other 2 pieces of scripture that will be in future episodes as Romans 12 and Ephesians 4. They ask for continued prayer and comments of ideas or just thoughts in general!
