Come: A Christ Centered Podcast

Episode 5-Daughters of Jerusalem

These are just a few of the countless quotes from church leaders about the importance and power of womanhood. While mentions of women in the scriptures are comparatively less than men, the women in the scriptures are spiritual giants with the faith to move mountains. Eve, Rachel, Esther, Mary Magdalene, Abish, and Emma Smith are just a few of the countless strong, faithful women. What does Christ think of women? How did He treat them in His day? How can men learn from His example on how to treat the women in their lives? How can these stories teach women about their divine worth? Perhaps James E Talmage said it the best: “The world’s greatest champion of woman and womanhood is Jesus the Christ.” With special guest: Tamara Bell

Episode 4 - Render to Caesar The Things That Are Caesar's

Politics. Its the topic of conversation that we avoid at the Thanksgiving Dinner table. Every day on the news we hear divisive reports of the president actions, a senator’s comment, or a local protest. The recent Russian invasion of Ukraine is worrying the whole world. And yet, divisive politics is not new to human society. Christ himself had to deal with politics, and dirty politics ended up with Him dying on the cross. What was the political climate like in Christ’s time? And what do we learn about dealing with divisive politics from Christ’s example. With special guest Scott Sweeney.

Episode 3- Jesus Wept

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, nearly 1 in 5 adults in the United States struggle with some sort of mental illness. Even if you don’t struggle with a mental health challenge, we all face trials in our lives. We all may encounter death, illness, betrayal, disappointment, and fear. In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ not only suffered for our sins but pains and afflictions and temptations of every kind. Through His grace and the enabling power of the atonement, Christ not only lifts us out of the darkness, but stays by us while we’re there. Listen to the history of a famous hymn, more Bible stories, and an interview with special guest Ann Sweeney.

Episode 2-Go and Sin No More

As a consequence to the fall of Adam and Eve, we live in a world full of sin. Satan, the enemy of our soul, seeks to destroy us through lies and temptations. He wants us to distance ourselves from God through sin. God knew this would be the case, so He provided us a Savior. A loving Lord who suffered the consequences of our sins so we could repent and be forgiven. Does that really apply to everyone? Can I be forgiven for what I have done? How can the Savior transform me into a better person? Listen to stories from the Bible, lessons learned from a modern day prophet, and an interview with special guest Ben Griswold.

The New Testament is full of stories of miraculous healings. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, even the dead live again. What do we learn from those stories? Are we to be jealous of those blessed people who got to be healed by the Savior’s hands, or is Christ’s healing power still active today? Listen to stories from the Bible, a modern-day miracle story, and an interview with special guest Mason Scholes.
