Prosperity, Prophetic Promises, and God’s Plans for His People

#007: Is Jeremiah 29:11 Really About Your Personal Success?

episode Worshipping the Woodpile: turning a gift into a god artwork

Worshipping the Woodpile: turning a gift into a god

#006: Isaiah 44.14-17 describes the enduring problem of idolatry.

We offer practical steps for examining our hearts, stewarding resources, and glorifying the Creator rather than worshipping the woodpile. Coffee Talk: Brance and Lauren talk coffee storage.

Finding Peace in God’s Sovereign Plan with A.W. Pink

#005 - If you’ve ever wondered how God can be in control while you still make real choices, or why trusting His sovereign purpose leads to deep peace, then this conversation will comfort you and strengthen your faith. Brance and Lauren talk about the difference in quality between whole bean and preground coffee. Then they discuss chapter two of A.W. Pink’s book The Attributes of God, and his teaching on God’s decree. They reflect on how God’s plan is eternal, wise, free, and absolute, governing every event while still holding humans responsible for their choices. They highlight the comfort and assurance believers can have knowing that all things unfold according to God’s infinite wisdom and sovereign will. They also caution against views like open theism that deny God’s complete foreknowledge, emphasizing instead the peace found in trusting His unchanging purpose.

episode Christ the Solid Rock amid the Raging Sea artwork

Christ the Solid Rock amid the Raging Sea

#003: Uncover the biblical theme of dry land emerging from chaotic waters - from Genesis to Revelation. Christ is our Solid Rock and foundation of our faith. Brance and Lauren talk coffee roast levels: light, medium, dark, what’s the difference? Then they reflect on the theme of the sea and dry land in Scripture. Beginning in Genesis 1, all the way to Revelation 21, they trace this theme, and discuss it light of 1 Corinthians 15.3-4. Christ is our Solid Rock in the midst of the sea of this world. What a blessed and glorious truth that is! Defining Theology: Brance and Lauren have a discussion of theology term The Apostles’ Creed. They answer the questions of: What it is? Where it came from? How can it be used in the church? And what is meant by the two controversial lines, He descended into hell, and the holy catholic church?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
