“Everything Happens for a Reason”: Does God Make BAD THINGS Happen for GOOD REASONS?

It's probably the phrase we hear the most when we go through something terrible: "everything happens for a reason." But does that mean God makes terrible things happen in order to do good? Do we deserve it every time something bad happens to us? Maybe there's more to it. Today, Micah Gunn and Mitchell Moss look to the Bible to learn more about God's influence over our lives.

Exploring What It Means to Be Healthy and Wealthy According to the Bible

Can faith buy blessings?  God can and does bless those who live righteously, but does that mean sickness and poverty are signs of unrighteousness? Some ministers say yes, and that you can fix your unrighteousness by giving them more money. But today Micah Gunn and Mitchell Moss discuss what the Bible says about righteousness and blessings, and expound on our video on the Prosperity Gospel.  ORIGINAL VIDEO  https://youtu.be/y636TtxXxdY  FIND A CONGREGATION  https://www.ucg.org/congregations  DIVE DEEPER  •WATCH | "Prosperity Gospel" by Dan Dowd. https://www.ucg.org/sermons/prosperity-gospel  *** About Magnified ***  Magnified Podcast deeply examines all sorts of biblical topics, answers your comments, and gives you a peek behind the scenes into the Magnified writers room to hear some of the discussions behind the episodes.  Subscribe for more Christ-centered conversations that go deeper than the surface.  #Gospel #ChristianLife #MagnifiedPodcast  Follow us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/magnified_ucg  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ucgshortfilm  Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4o6W0zWdEYakibZ4ZhMhhY?si=f1c3d2bb848c4503  Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/magnified-podcast/id1852861778  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/46790364-5d72-41dc-8ef8-9491e44531bc/magnified-podcast

The Real Problem With Christmas, and What Christians Should Do Instead

The Christmas debate has changed. For hundreds of years, many Christians have denounced Christmas for its pagan influences, but now, many respected Christian thinkers are arguing that the reverse is true—that pagans actually stole Christmas from Christians—or they're dismissing paganism as a problem altogether. But paganism was never the whole problem.  Today, Magnified host Micah Gunn sits down with co-host Mitchell Moss to respond to some of the most common defenses of Christmas and get into the real problem with this man-made religious festival.

Aliens, the Bible, and The Deeper Meaning Behind "Silly" Questions
