November 15th, 2019 | 39 mins 29 secs
bible, forgiveness, freedom, grace, humility, jesus, life, restoration, sin
What would it look like for us to say "You are more important than me"? Can you imagine a world where a majority of people preferred others more than themselves? This is exactly the kind of world that God has instructed us to live in. Even when we are hurt by someone or they are caught in a sin, we are instructed to restore that person gently. This episode explores the freedom we can have in loving and preferring one another above ourselves without jeopardizing our own self worth.

Episode 011: Christians Aren't Supposed to be the Villains
September 13th, 2019 | 45 mins 19 secs
consequence, disciples, jesus, life, love, villain
Jesus told us in John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another." Love is supposed to be the foundation for everything we do. Lately, however, it appears that we are using anything BUT love as a tool to get the gospel message out to the world. We have replaced God's love for mankind with our fear of the world and sin. We no longer believe that God is in complete control and consequently we end up trying to do His job for him. No surprise, we fail miserably. Christians were charged by Jesus to take care of the people of the world and to love them unconditionally, instead we have become the villains. How can we correct this error? Is it too late to change the culture of the church?

Join Pastor Shawn as he encourages us to keep fighting the good fight even when we are suffering. God sends his blessings on the just and the unjust and all are deserving and worthy of his goodness. How can we see this goodness when life's troubles are so overwhelming?
