A Day In The Life - Stephen

Is it okay to doubt/question God and the Bible?

In this episode the boys are going over the question everyone thinks about but many are afraid to ask. They are shining a light on the different ways you can doubt and if it's ok to do so.  - Where and how does this questioning usually start?  - Old and New Testament examples of those doubting/questioning and how they were handled. - Why questioning can be hurtful OR helpful to a person's walk with Christ.  - What to do if you are questioning or doubting God and the Bible and you'd like to get out of it.  * PREFACE: Doubting and Questioning are two different things. For the sake of this episode, there are times we separate these two and combine them. Questioning in the sense of asking questions from a posture of doubt is different than simply asking questions. Asking questions can be done because of doubt or because someone just simply has questions. It's always ok to ask question!

A dive through The Beatitudes

In this episode the boys are diving into the sermon on the mount! the Beatitudes to be exact. They are gonna dive deep and dissect  each of the 9 beatitudes! They will go over and explain the following:  - What is a beatitude? What does the word beatitude mean? - What is the context of this passage and who was Jesus preaching to.  - Breaking down the beatitudes.  - How can we apply these teachings to our life?  In this sermon Jesus comes after everyone. He is absolutely  stomping on some toes; those listening were Pharisees, Zealots, Essenes, etc. These were on all levels of the extreme in their belief. And Jesus told them exactly what they did not want to hear!

The Importance of Evangelism: Part 1

In this episode the boys are discussing the importance of evangelism! Evangelism seems to be a word used but not fully understood in today's Christians. We hope to change that!  In part one we cover the topics: -What is Evangelism -Stories of people Evangelizing in the Bible and outside of the Bible.  We only got through the first half of the second topic in this episode.
