S4 E18: What Is Marriage (Pt 1)

Marriage is an institution everyone seems to define a little differently. Across the globe, traditions, rituals, and expectations surrounding marriage are as diverse as the people who celebrate it. From grand celebrations in bustling cities to intimate ceremonies in remote villages, marriage takes on countless forms. But beneath all these differences, what does marriage truly mean?

Is there a biblical foundation that shapes our understanding, offering guidance and wisdom that transcend time and culture? Who is part of this sacred union, and what roles do they play? Why does marriage matter—not just for the couple, but for families, communities, and even society at large? Today, Jon and Chuck embark on a lively, thought-provoking journey through scripture. Together, they’ll uncover surprising truths, challenge commonly held beliefs, and reveal how the Bible’s perspective can transform the way we see this profound commitment.

S4 E17: Who the Devil is the Devil?

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the true identity of the Devil? Is he the rebellious angel Lucifer, the cunning adversary Satan, Barney the Purple Dinosaur, or the mysterious Prince of Darkness? Are these names all referring to the same legendary figure, or are there subtle differences that separate them? This week, Chuck and Jon embark on a fascinating journey through Isaiah and Ezekiel to unravel the myths and realities surrounding the Devil. From the fiery depths of religious lore to the eerie tales that have shaped our imaginations, they’ll explore what the Bible really says about who the Devil is. Ok, maybe they don’t really talk about Barney in this episode as it pertains to the topic. Sorry, Barney, maybe next time! Although, Jon did mention a great book from C.S. Lewis called The Screwtape Letters. Check that out here: https://a.co/d/0gN0X125 Hey there, podcast lovers! We hope you're having a great time tuning in!

The ripple effects of these experiences can be devastating, reaching beyond individuals to entire communities. While Chuck is away celebrating important family milestones, Glen Davis joins Jon again as guest host to confront the difficult and all-too-relevant topic of Church Hurt - What is it and how to respond to it.
