The GoodLion PodcastIs the Bible The Word of God, or is Jesus? - Evan WickhamYears ago I heard one of my mentors, Evan Wickham, use a phrase I found compelling.

Still others insist, no Jesus is the Word of God. Where does the truth lie? That...2022-08-221h 28

Violence, war, and bloodshed. Jesus' Kingdom is much different. The Kingdom of Heaven does not advance through the sword, but rather through something much more powerful: preaching and the Gospel. It advances in this way: by converting one soul after another.In the Gospels, Jesus never employs violence to achieve his ends. His life and ministry model for us an ethic of non-violence.

It's a sin we commit every day, in all kinds of ways. This is why we have to be so careful about it. We take this mentality to our approach regarding the Kingdom.

(With Jon Keith and Jordan Aly) - A Discussion on dating and sexuality.Aaron sits down with his old friend Jordan and her boyfriend (now fiancé since the time of this recording!) Hip-Hop and R&B artist Jon Keith to discuss dating, sex, and waiting for marriage to engage in sexuality. In this culture it's harder than ever for couples to wait, and many don't even really have a theology for "why" they should wait or what the purpose is. Many people who have struggled and made mistakes in this area are constantly battling guilt and shame and finding it difficult to feel right with God.
