Episode 115

Ephesians 6:16 reads, "In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." (New International Version). What happens when the Church gathers together with our shields to help protect each other's vulnerabilities? When our faith falters, or we struggle with the enemy's arrows? Let us be better at helping one another in the kingdom by bringing our shields together to protect our brothers and sisters in Christ. 
You can still purchase t-shirts and hoodies if you'd like. Find them here: https://shorturl.at/fxCJX. Proceeds go towards the work of The Salvation Army across the world.

Episode 113

Today, we welcome returning guest Andy Wheeler with an impromptu conversation about integrity and identity in leadership. We also conversed about Gen Z and Gen Alpha lingo, which may or may not have caused belly aches from laughter. The Gospel is the Gospel no matter who we are. The language we use can sometimes open doors that otherwise might have remained closed. 
At times, towards the end of this episode, the sound quality gets a little rough. It's because we were laughing so hard that the microphone had trouble picking us all up. Bear with it. We hope you have as much fun listening to this as we had making it. We pray you are able to have late-night chats with friends, unplanned and unscripted, that encourage and challenge life in Christ.

Episode 111

The Old Testament can, at times, be intimidating. It doesn't have to be. In today's episode, we dive into the story of King Josiah and the prophetess Huldah. Josiah's responsive heart leads the kingdom of Judah back again to covenant relationship with God. His leadership guides the people. In addition, Huldah provides a key word directly from GOD to the people. What an incredible story of faithfulness by a woman in a culture and time where women were often relegated to the sidelines!

Episode 110

Episode 107

Integrity continues to be the topic of conversation as it sadly seems to be missing from the world today. Join Amanda and Corey as they converse sans Jenny (unfortunately, sometimes the internet does not cooperate). 
Be aware that today's audio has some background noises. It was recorded at camp while at The Salvation Army Central Territory Bible Leadership Institute, and there are children abounding. This is us in our real lives, living for Jesus.

Episode 106

In today's episode we discuss a famous quote from Mother Theresa about living life in a world where we can often feel beat up by others. Mother Theresa encourages us to keep on keeping on through the difficulty since we do so for God, not human beings.
