Ep 070: Can Christians Believe in Dinosaurs?

Did dinosaurs really exist, and if they did, what should Christians do with them? Some believers wonder whether dinosaurs contradict the Bible, while others assume Christians have to reject science altogether. So what does Scripture actually say? In this episode, we explore how Christians can think biblically about dinosaurs, creation, and the relationship between faith and science. We discuss different Christian perspectives on the age of the earth, whether creatures like Behemoth and Leviathan could relate to dinosaurs, and why debates about dinosaurs often become bigger conversations about trusting God's Word. Most importantly, we talk about how to approach questions that the Bible does not directly answer without losing sight of the gospel and the truths Scripture makes abundantly clear. Topics discussed: dinosaurs, creation, science and faith, young earth, old earth, Behemoth, Leviathan, biblical worldview.

Ep 069: How Do I Become Less Selfish?

Why is selfishness so natural, and how do we actually grow out of it? In this episode, we talk about what the Bible says about the human heart and how the gospel reshapes the way we think about ourselves and others. We explore what real, everyday selflessness looks like beyond extreme or unrealistic examples. We also address the tension of serving others without burning out or losing healthy boundaries and how to grow in humility in a sustainable way. This conversation is about becoming more like Christ in how we love, serve, and think about the people around us. Topics discussed: selfishness, humility, serving others, Christian growth, identity in Christ, loving others well.

Ep 068: Why Do Christians Drift Away from God?

How does someone go from being on fire for God to feeling distant or lukewarm? In this episode, we talk about what it actually means to drift away from God and how it often happens gradually rather than all at once. We walk through the warning signs of spiritual drift and why it can be hard to recognize in ourselves. We also address the big question many people are afraid to ask about whether someone who drifts away is still saved and what the Bible says about that. Most importantly, we talk about how to return to God, rebuild intimacy with Him, and guard your faith from drifting in the first place. Topics discussed: backsliding, lukewarm faith, spiritual drift, staying close to God, salvation, Christian growth.

Ep 067: How Can We Store Up Treasures in Heaven?

What does it actually mean to store up treasures in heaven, and how is that different from success here on earth? In this episode, we walk through what Jesus teaches about eternal reward and what truly lasts beyond this life. We spend time in Scripture looking at how generosity, faithfulness, endurance, and even our motives carry eternal significance. We also wrestle with real questions like whether it is wrong to desire heavenly reward and how to live with an eternal mindset without neglecting our responsibilities today. This conversation is meant to shift perspective from temporary gain to lasting impact and help you think more clearly about what you are truly investing your life into. Topics discussed: treasures in heaven, eternal reward, stewardship, generosity, faithfulness, biblical priorities.

Ep 066: Can We Change Gods Mind?

If God is all knowing and sovereign, can our prayers actually change anything? In this episode, we explore what the Bible says about God’s will, prayer, and passages that seem to show God changing His mind. We address the tension many people feel when wondering why they should pray if God already has a plan. We talk about the purpose of prayer, whether we are trying to change God or if He is changing us, and how to approach God with both boldness and trust. This conversation helps bring clarity to one of the most common and honest questions about faith and prayer. Topics discussed: prayer, God’s will, sovereignty, faith, trusting God, biblical understanding of prayer.
