The 8:32 Podcast

#21: The Beautiful Simplicity of the Gospel

Questions [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295777/fan_mail/new] Do you ever feel like you have to make the truth more exciting and flashy for people to listen to you?  Sometimes I struggle with that! That’s why I wanted to share some things I learned recently from Kevin DeYoung’s book: “The (Not-So-Secret) Secret to Reaching the Next Generation.” He reminds us that faithfulness and consistency, unconditional love for the lost, and passionate declaration of who Jesus is are the best tools to draw people to Jesus. People don’t want the newest, trendiest thing (they can find that plenty of places). People want something to fill the emptiness they feel; ONLY Jesus can do that!

#20: Conviction, Repentance, and Freedom in Christ

Questions [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295777/fan_mail/new] So often we hide in our shame and guilt because we’re afraid of being honest about how broken we are. What if I told you the only way to true freedom is to really confront sin and call it what it is?! In this episode we talk about conviction and how it really is a gift because it’s a sign of the Holy Spirit at work within you. We also talk about the power of confessing our sins to God and confessing our sins to trusted believers who care more about our holiness than our comfort and aren’t afraid to call us out.  Here’s the good news: We are COVERED by the blood of Jesus!!!! He is faithful and just to cleanse and forgive us!!! Scriptures Referenced: Romans 12:2 1 John 1:9 James 5:16 Proverbs 18:21 Ephesians 4:29 Gracious God, our sins are too heavy to carry too real to hide, and too deep to undo. Forgive what our lips tremble to name, what our hearts can no longer bear, and what has become for us a consuming fire of judgement. Set us free from a past that we cannot change, open to us a future in which we can be changed, and grant us grace to grow more and more in your likeness and image through Jesus Christ, the light of the world.

#18 Doug Powell Part 1 | Historical Evidence for the Resurrection

Questions [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295777/fan_mail/new] In this episode, we lay the ground work for this topic and explore the minimal facts argument. Don’t know what that is? Well neither did I till we recorded this conversation!  ;) We talk through 6 facts surrounding the resurrection that are excepted even by the most committed atheists and how these six facts only have one explanation: Jesus resurrected! We’ll be back next episode to discuss some alternative theories to try to explain the facts and why all of them fall apart for some reason or another!

#17: A God Who Delights in Healing Broken People

Questions [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2295777/fan_mail/new] This story from John 4 about the Samaritan woman at the well is one of my favorites — it shows the way Jesus cares for and draws in the outcasts and sinners. Isn’t that all of us? If you feel the filth and gravity of your sin, please join me to dive in to this story. It’s rich with the love and compassion of Jesus and the promise of living water that takes away our thirst FOREVER!
