Quit Porn 46:27

29d ago46:27

46:27

In our world, sex before marriage is normal, hooking up is normal, funky sex is normal, and pornography is normal. Normal is: sex is casual and inclusive, not exclusive and monogamous. In college, having a “body count” is normal. Normal is riddled with shame and regret. Normal is broken. Normal is living in guilt. Normal is unchecked and distorted …

1:05:42

If you are a parent and have kids in your home, you are passing on something to them. Whether you’ve been intentional or not, well-meaning or not, you are building a legacy. The question is, will that legacy you are giving them be good, healthy and eternal? Or is it something else? John Sampson joins Scott on the podcast this week to talk about lea…

Parenting: Smartphones and Social Media, with Scott Harvey 1:30:40

1M ago1:30:40

1:30:40

Phones, technology and social media are simply tools for communication. The effects of using a tool depend on the purpose for which it is used, but the tool itself is neutral in origin. It’s similar to having a hammer. You can build something with a hammer. You can also destroy something or hurt someone. The tools are not the problem. How something…

Parenting Teenagers, with Southland Students 1:53:39

2M ago1:53:39

1:53:39

Parents work really hard to be intentional when their kids are young. In those early years we teach them so much: how to walk, talk, eat, have manners, to say they're sorry, to learn to play with others, to be grateful…all these things. But the decisions our teenagers make in middle and high school have bigger consequences. The stakes are higher; t…

53:51

The Bible describes David as “A man after God’s own heart”, yet his life got sideways and there was a season where David lived a double life.

Redemption From a Broken Home, with Jordan Moody 1:14:52

3M ago1:14:52

1:14:52

The wounds we receive from our parents send a message. This message is almost always a lie. When we believe that lie, it drives a channel that confuses who we are, how we communicate and how we operate as men. The effects of these wounds include low self-esteem, a deep longing, deep emotional pain inside and a performance-orientation that makes us …

Even If, with Kevin Comp | Locker Room 1:17:19

7M ago1:17:19

1:17:19

If you are a Christian, you are playing an away game. There was a day when the church was a predominant influence in culture. Not anymore. In the U.S. the church has lost influence in our communities and been pushed out to the margins, and Christ-followers are no longer warmly met, but now face vitriol and resistance. But this is nothing new. In th…

32:36

Eradicate Passivity The definition of passivity is an acceptance of what happens, without active response or resistance. Passivity is apathy, indifference, numbness and resignation.

God’s heart is to move us toward the deeper places that strengthen our faith and trust in Him, and the main way that happens is through prayer. Prayer can seem like a bit of a mystery.

1:33:05

Enduring Faith, with Brian Lucas Trials and hard times are a part of our story. There is no such thing as a prosperity gospel. It’s not in Scripture. Faith in Jesus doesn’t take away our pain, it doesn’t remove our circumstances and it doesn’t mean we’ll always be happy, healthy and wealthy. It’s not in there. Hard times will either build our faith…

Healthy Rhythms, with Jon Weece and Scott Nickell 1:43:59

1y ago1:43:59

1:43:59

Healthy Rhythms Jesus had the habit of getting alone with the Father and then being with people. Over and over again, we see Him withdraw to the wilderness to pray and connect with the Father. He had this rhythm of connecting with the Father (filling his tank) and then spending time with people (pouring out from the well of His time with God). We h…

The Book 56:38

56:38

The Book Many of us own a copy. In fact, the stats say 85% of U.S. households have a Bible, and the average house has 4.3 Bibles. The problem with that stat is this: just because you have one doesn’t mean that you’re using it! So why is this book important? What is the point? The point of the Bible is to know God and to understand His ways. God cou…

Hate Sin (part 2) Each of us are in a daily battle of choosing, “Am I going to live my day walking in what God has for me through Christ—am I going to live for Jesus? Or am I going to be dominated by my past sin, past shame, or sinful desires?” We have to know ourselves. We have to know our history. We have to remember where we’ve been and study ou…

You’re Qualified (part 2) You have a story. God doesn’t want you to hide your story, but get comfortable with it and—when the opportunity arises—share it.

You're Qualified, with Connor Hall (Part 1) 55:43

1y ago55:43

55:43

You’re Qualified (Part 1) God uses broken people. That’s all He has. God doesn’t call the equipped; He equips the called. Jesus desires for you to partner with Him to live your life on mission. Too often we think God is looking for the powerful, the affluent, the charismatic—people with dynamic personalities. We think God is looking for ability and…

Two Words: Crush Pride “Pride is your greatest enemy; humility is your greatest friend.”—C.S. Lewis. Pride makes everything about us. We’re the center of the universe—it’s all about me… Prideful men are everywhere; humble, confident men are hard to find. Here’s the reality: God can do anything in a humble man and He won’t do anything with a pridefu…

Worship Jesus We all worship something. We’re all worshippers. It just depends on who or what we worship.
