of verifying salvation, as well as what is involved...
Now that weâve discussed what a worldview is, and proposed a definition

our daily lives. What do you use as a...
A person's worldview constitutes the filter they look through at the world. That worldview is like a spider web, with core values on the inside and looser values on the outside. Every...
Heroes are a fun topic, so we kinda got stuck on them (and their
sidekicks) over the past few weeks. This episode, we put emphasis on
the fact that even sidekicks can do amazing things...
Episode 50! Well, we talked about heroes last couple of episodes, so
now letâs talk about sidekicks. In todayâs world, sidekicks often have
a diminished role in popular culture. They...
Last week we looked at cultural heroes, so let's take it a step
further and look at Biblical heroes this week. What makes a good hero?
Do all heroes have to be perfect? Maybe the best...
I'm if asked, everyone could come up with at least one hero that has either influenced them or has at least made an impact on their lives. This episode, we take a little informal break...
We thought we would do a laid-back approach to this episode. With the
approaching school year comes changes in schedules and for us,
difficulty in getting together to record episodes....
Another series has come to an end, and this episode, we conclude our baby-proofing series with more on discipleship. Building
relationships, seeking discipleship and participating in...
This episode, itâs all about discipleship and how itâs a missing
element in Christianity. Many of those places we fail, such as falling
down stairs, opening too many doors, taking too...
After a short break, we're glad to be back!
This episode, we
continue on with the our baby-proofing series as we talk about the
medicine cabinet. I'm sure everyone has had or has seen...
If you've ever been in a house with a small child, you most likely
have seen a gate at the entrance to stairs. The gate is there,
obviously, to keep that child from falling since they...
Continuing on with the theme of âchild-proofing your lifeâ, we look at
doors in this episode. Putting locks on doors or cabinets keep children
safe. Many times, curiosity and ignorance...
This episode, we start a brand-new series entitled Putting Plastic In
Electrical Outlets, or more simply child-proofing your life. If
you've ever had siblings or children, you most
In this final episode of the series, we take a different perspective on
Elijah's learning experience in the cave. As God brings in the fire,
the earthquake, and the wind, He reveals...
Elijah begins to realize that he has to change his perspective. God
provides a very teachable moment in this section of the story for
Elijah regarding humility. God also gives Elijah...
We continue with Elijah's emotional downfall this week. ELijah is
finally offered a glimpse of how God works - and it's not how one would
expect. God shows Elijah that sometimes He
Physically worn, Elijah was simply down. Maybe youâve been here before,
almost depressed, as you begin to neglect physical needs while being
emotionally defeated by what appears to
During times of hardship, often times we simply want to give up. God
however wants to bring us through those times of pain, and He provides just enough to get us through.
As a continuation of Episode #34, we look into the moment in Elijah's
life when he said, enough is enough and was at the brink of quiting.
Have you felt that way when serving? Have
Ministry, whether it be full-time or not, can be overwhelming at times.
This episode, we look more deeply at the story of Elijah and his
ministry burn-out. As you'll see, God was able...
This week, we take a break from any series to offer encouragement and a
challenge for those who may have given up on the Christian life.
At last, we made it! The final flavor of Christians - homemade. This
episode is a challenge for all of those who may be at a different point
in their Christian life. Homemade ice cream...
Truth be told, there are some who come to church on a regular basis
that are not Christians. These people can be considered fat free
because they lack the fat of Christianity. There...
Smoothies, although they may be rare, are those who take advantage of
the church and try to make a quick buck. More often than not, these
kinds of people often cause more damage than...
This is probably the most common Christian - the chocolate sundae,
Sunday only Christian. Have you been here, or are you here right now?
I'm sure nearly everyone has at one point in...
The next flavor in the series, Banana Splits, are those Christians who
tend to do as the flavor implies - cause splits or quarrels in the
church. More often than not, power is what
Often times, Christians who are blizzards tend to add to what the
Bible says, whether that be to salvation, to morality, and so on.
Legalism, or putting the law over everything else,...
Peppermint-type of Christians are those who focus only on feelings and emotions. Remember, nothing is wrong with emotions, but you have to make sure to balance them in your overall
Falling into this type of Christianity is easy because it involves
seeing things in black and white. If this fits you, realize that
thereâs more to life than good and bad, black and...
Let's take a look at the first kind of Christian - Rocky Road. These are Christians that go through hard times and have never learned how to handle their situations, making them bitter...
We begin a brand new series, all about the different flavors of Christians out there. To bring it home, we try to compare types of Christians to flavors of ice cream. When you go looking...
Living right is first achieved by your thinking, which is what we
talked about last week. By changing the way you think, you are able to
practice a practical lifestyle. Once you have...
A further extension of gaining peace from God is positive thinking, or correct thinking. What we fill our minds with truly affects our everyday living. Often times we lie to ourselves...

If God allows us to give him our worry, is there anything we get in return? Well, He gives us something that literally exceeds our mental capacity! When we throw our burdens of anxiety...
I'm sure all of us have been worried about this or that at least once in our lives. Being anxious or worrying are a natural part of being human, and God knows this! This episode, Al...
God doesn't tell time the way we do by looking at a clock or calendar.
Rather, He sees not only our entire life picture but also our children
and our grandchildren. To put it simply,...

In this third episode of the series, we begin to realize that God is more concerned with us trying to find Him rather than us trying to find His will. How can we define what God's will...

versus a Heavenly one, a Battle of the Sexes,...
