A Biblical "fly by" on Self Defense

DISCERNMENT - is what they are saying REALLY Biblical?

there are SO many believers saying SO much "is biblical" that God never said.   What are common pitfalls to be alert to?   Questions to ask "Christian Counselors" can be found on our ministry website at this page:  https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/ae1423e5-f325-422e-8088-c0ec2586d269/Questions%20to%20ask%20of%20a%20potential%20counselor%201.pdf?ver=1769693112158https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/8884e906-15e1-4da7-87fe-fada7bf9bcaa/BIBLE%20ON%20SELF%20DEFENSE.pdf?ver=1765485091120 [https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/8884e906-15e1-4da7-87fe-fada7bf9bcaa/BIBLE%20ON%20SELF%20DEFENSE.pdf?ver=1765485091120]   Please check out our other podcast where Kirk's "live, unedited" Sunday morning teaching is available each week.  It will give you the feeling that you are part of our every week class. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663]

A Biblical "fly by" on Self Defense

This will give a relatively complete answer to the idea of whether or not it is acceptable for Christians to carry weapons for self-defense, or study martial arts, etc. ... or is this a lack of faith in God's protection?   notes from this podcast can be found at:  https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/8884e906-15e1-4da7-87fe-fada7bf9bcaa/BIBLE%20ON%20SELF%20DEFENSE.pdf?ver=1765485091120 [https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/8884e906-15e1-4da7-87fe-fada7bf9bcaa/BIBLE%20ON%20SELF%20DEFENSE.pdf?ver=1765485091120]   Please check out our other podcast where Kirk's "live, unedited" Sunday morning teaching is available each week.  It will give you the feeling that you are part of our every week class. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663]

Why do I Keep Sinning and not Changing?

This is in no way a comprehensive theology on sin and fighting sin.   But SO many still ask this question to us.  The goal of this podcast is to at least address a few of the biggest issues we seem to see in those we counsel.   Please check out our other podcast where Kirk's "live, unedited" Sunday morning teaching is available each week.  It will give you the feeling that you are part of our every week class. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663]

Do Adult Children need to Obey Their Parents?

In the course of years of youth work and in our counseling we seem to come across so many examples of adult children, even those already married, being pressured by their parents that God expects them to obey or to "do what they are counseled".   Is this really a biblical expectation?   Please check out our other podcast where Kirk's "live, unedited" Sunday morning teaching is available each week.  It will give you the feeling that you are part of our every week class. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663 [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/truth-4-life-change/id1794019663]

Are "Boundaries" really a Biblical Concept?

The world has promoted the concept of "Boundaries" for a long time and now the church at large has adopted and attempted to defend the practice with Scripture.  Is this idea truly Scriptural?  We will attempt to answer this question in a short period of time as best possible.  This discussion is by NO means complete nor comprehensive, but should be sufficient to get you thinking.   Some notes will be posted here so you can think on this further and follow up on some of the passages: https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/2a6cfd2f-0203-4416-9e3f-b504d8430993/BOUNDARIES%20for%20podcast.pdf?ver=1746919889823 [https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/f22704b8-5ede-4a14-b863-05efb074af26/downloads/2a6cfd2f-0203-4416-9e3f-b504d8430993/BOUNDARIES%20for%20podcast.pdf?ver=1746919889823]
