[007] Faith & Perseverance : Why Do People Walk Away From God?
S1:E7 - Faith & Perseverance There is a terrifying verse in the book of James: "Even the demons believe—and shudder." If the enemy has intellectual belief, then what does actual, saving biblical faith look like? In this episode we unpack the critical difference between acknowledging facts and heart-level trust, why people walk away from the faith, and the incredible reality that we don't survive the Christian race because we are strong, but because God refuses to let us go.

[006] Sovereignty (Deep Dive) : Do You Actually Have Free Will?
S1:E6 - Sovereignty [Deep Dive] We are not just robots... are we? What do we do with questions like... "If God is in control of everything does prayer even matter?" "Is God in charge of the bad things that happen to us?" "Are we just robots walking around or do we have free will?" We take extra time in this episode (a deep dive!) to explore and work to answer these total normal questions Christians are faced with when trying to understand God's sovereignty.

[005] Trust : What If Trusting Brings You Hurt? Can You Really Trust Anyone at All?
S1:E5 - Trust In this episode... Obedience to the God of the Universe actually produces a deep trust in his promises and that what he says in his holy scriptures is true to hold onto for when your life is taking a hard turn. But what do we do when we place our trust in another sinful human dealing with the brokenness of their own life circumstances and that trust leads to our own hurt or deeper brokenness? How does trusting God with our lives affect our trust in others? SUPPORT THE MISSION: REACHING THE INSIDE 🕊️ Our mission goes beyond these microphones.

[004] Obedience : Does God Require Compliance or Trust?
S:1E4 - Obedience In this episode... Is God only asking for our compliance or trusting his plan? What does it mean to delay our obedience? How do we avoid the King Saul trap? The essence of our thought lands in the pocket of God wanting your heart, not your rituals. So let your rituals lead your heart to God!

[003] Sanctification : Can You Actually Change?
Can You Actually Change? S1:E3 - Sanctification Is believing in Jesus enough to change? What does it mean to be saved from your sin—and then put your sin to death? We work to debunk the myth of the "Instant" Christian. Thank you, dear watcher/ listener for your time. Share a comment of encouragement!

[002] Salvation : Is Faith in Prison Real?
