• Should Christians do THIS? (Halloween, Yoga, Date Non-Christians, Drinking & More)

  In this episode, we tackle not just the “can I?” questions many Christians wrestle with but the “should I?” — Halloween, yoga, drinking, and more. Scripture tells us we’re free in Christ (1 Corinthians 6, Romans 14, Galatians 5)… but Scripture also tells us that freedom doesn’t mean everything is beneficial or glorifies God.  We cover questions to ask yourself when it comes to “SHOULD I?”:  Asking if this will stumble someone (Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 8) Whether it builds up or tears down (1 Corinthians 10:23) Are YOU convicted? (Romans 14:14) Freedom vs. sin — not using grace as a cover-up for evil (1 Peter 2:16) Doing all things for God’s glory (1 Corinthians 10:31) Then my husband and I share our personal takes:Halloween — Can it be redeemed? How to participate in a way that points to Jesus; Yoga — Is it demonic or sinful?; Drinking — Freedom, conviction, and when it crosses the line; And more!

• Be on guard: Resist the enemy’s attacks against you and what God has for you

  The Bible tells us that the enemy prowls like a roaring lion — but many of his attacks and temptations to sin sneak in. A flicker of envy at a friend’s house, a small moment of discouragement while cooking dinner, a quiet thought that says, “Why not me, God?” In today’s episode, we’re talking about how to be on guard against Satan’s work — envy, ungratefulness, bitterness, laziness, gossip — and how to pivot, with the power of Jesus Christ in you, back into a life God has for us: contentment, joy, gratitude, and purpose.
