We are being bombarded with change whether we like it or not. Some call this progress others call it chaos. Regardless, God is still God and believers still have a duty to be the source of good to this world. The bible tells us to let our gentleness be evident to all. How can we be gentle when the world around us is in such disarray? We guard our hearts and minds with the peace of God.

During the last week of October, I was facing one of the hardest decisions of my life. I was saying goodbye to my best friend and sidekick, my English Bulldog Isabela. I put this episode away and figured eventually I'd be ready to release it. Being that in the coming week we will celebrate the greatest gift of all in Jesus Christ, what better time to teach and hear about the goodness of God's grace even when we are burdened by the weight of this world.

On October 14, 2015 Chris's daughter Ariya, at 4 years old, was diagnosed with Stage IV kidney cancer. On that day not only was a diagnosis given but a battle begun and the entire family's life was turned upside down. Life is never certain but no one expects to be told that their daughter, who hasn't even started kindergarten, has stage IV cancer. These series of episodes are tragic, sad, hopeless and hopeful but ultimately inspirational. Hear from a Father's perspective how he stood by his daughters side during this battle that should have never had to be fought.

What if you were a young twenty something in a relatively new relationship with a person who just found out that their daughter had cancer, possibly even terminal cancer? What would you do? Would you stay? Would you be willing to take on that responsibility? My guest today faced all these questions and more. Albeit separated, Ariya's Mother and Father knew they had no choice but to fight this battle set before them. Out of the abundance of sincere deep love and affection for Jessica and an unmatched bond he already had with Ariya, Charles knew what he wanted and needed to do. He was going to fight along side the rest of the family and give Ariya the best chance to survive this horrible disease.

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?

The world needs more compassion, we all know this. What are simple things you and I can do to become more compassionate? The first step is to understand the difference between sympathy and empathy.
