E55: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled...

E58: A useless Prophet, a good son, & the "mother wound"

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2199298/fan_mail/new] Have you ever been told you have a "Father Wound" or "Mother Wound"? Perhaps in college ministry? I know I was. And I figured out I had both... once I forgave my Dad of course. But are we driving this home too hard? Are we burning bridges, preaching on deaf ears, debating theology... at home?  Jesus had a few words about that sorta thing. He said it was near impossible! But he also said to Honor your Father and Mother. How do we do that when they aren't Christians? How do we do that if they keep hovering, correcting, pushing for likemindedness?  Join me as I talk with my amazing mom, Grace, about the pitfalls we struggle with as humans beings, seeking for spiritual unity and not finding it. This may make you uncomfortable and that's ok. My mom and I do not believe the same things, and I do not agree with everything she said on my show. But she's my mom. And she has so much to offer! Do you struggle with controlling your parents also? Take a walk with me and see if we can find some peace in your broken relationships.  Show notes:  Grace joins @10:40 Please follow, like, and share! Contact: TheBoxlessNutshell@gmail.com

E57: My first and last Facebook article. Enough with the F-bomb signs!

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2199298/fan_mail/new] Yup, I did it. I know I know. I'm asking for an S-storm! But I truly felt it needed to be done. I wanted to articulate that we are not push-overs, but we're also not jerks for protecting our children. I hope you can relate to the struggle of knowing when to speak up. When do we say, "enough is enough", and how do we say it? Show notes: "Aslan" [from the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis] Photo credits, unknown from a Colorado protest.

Malachi 2:15 - God desires Godly offsping Gen. 11:1-9 - Tower of Babel Acts 2 - Pentacost (my proof of no skin color in Christ) Gen. 1:27 & 2:24 - creation story, male and female Matt. 19:4-6 & Mark 10:6-9 - Jesus not only says marriage is between one man and one woman (so also no to Polygamy), but says, man and woman become one flesh. Would he not say any two grown adults who love each other can become one flesh if He felt that way? Seems logical.  Mark 7:21-22 & Matt 15:19 - These are Jesus' words, specifically listing sins.  Rev. 3:16 - "be hot or cold, but lukewarm I spit you out of My mouth." 1 Cor. 5:11 - "don't eat with" or "associate with" fake christians!

E54: The Excellence Lie

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2199298/fan_mail/new] Join me in this look at how we dress up for each other and give up too easily when we see a side we don't like. Have we been aiming for pretty & comfortable instead of family & grace? Are we meant to practice excellence or grace in our weakness?
