It's Not Just Talent - How Artists Get a Record Deal (with John Mays)

The Need To Be Right (and why it's wrong)

One factor that seems to keep people is divided is that nobody is willing to be wrong.  And even when it comes to important issues of faith, things we are confident in, we feel an urge to convince others we are right, rather than just listening to them.  Why do people feel the need to prove they are right?  What does the Bible say or show us about this? We are once again joined by our co-worker, pastor, and psychologist Jon Engen to talk about the need to be right.   Consider It Joy is a production of 88.3 Life FM in Bakersfield, CA.  You can find all the ways to listen and connect here!

That's NOT What That Verse Means

We're in a culture that likes quick sound bytes, and punchy 'gotcha' phrases, and sometimes Bible verses are used for those.  The problem is, many times the verses you hear are being used out of context.  On this episode, we spotlight a handful of Bible verses that are often used incorrectly, and offer some tools to help us better read and understand the Bible.  This was helpful to us, and we hope it will be helpful for you!   Consider It Joy is a production of 88.3 Life FM.
