If it hasn’t happened to you, it will! What do you say when someone asks what denomination you are? How do you keep it simple and answer the question while also being clear about what matters? Today, we enjoy the company of guest Mr. Everett McNair, who covered the topic extremely well in a recent […]
Fiction can be fun to read or watch, but you have to keep your biblical brain engaged—not just in what you choose to consume but as you consume it. Today, we talk about that and dive into the recent movie Supergirl to discuss how it might illustrate what we’re talking about.
Also, don’t forget that the Texas Teen Camp is wrapping up this week! If you’d like to see the brief video the camp posted about the first week (which was relatively short!), click right here. And if you’re interested in viewing the many photos taken at camp this year, click here (and be prepared to sign in with your MyLCG credentials). Five hundred photos have been posted so far, and more are likely on the way!

What’s the point of Bible prophecy? It can seem strange, intimidating, or even unnecessary. But prophecy is a vital part of the Bible—and of the faith. And on this week’s episode, we talk about why. (Also, for everyone on their way to the LYP camp in Texas, we are praying you have a wonderful time!)
A psychotherapist recently warned about how therapy seems to have shifted away from encouraging people to grow and overcome, emphasizing instead validation, externalizing problems, and pathologizing many ordinary struggles, and the same trend can be seen in the culture at large, outside of the therapy room.

The idea of a vague “heaven” waiting at the end of a life in which God places few real obligations on you is demotivating when compared to the reality. On today’s episode, we chat about the difference.
P.S. We’re having a little difficulty making sure that the YouTube videos are visible below with our new cleaner and more dynamic look.
