Everyday DisciplesSinging with ZechariahIn our second Advent episode we dig into Zechariah's song in Luke 1:67-75 and think about what it means when God comes to town. We talk about Advent being the end of vague spirituality, the end of self help, and the end of fear. We also address the controversial question of whether or not all dogs will go to heaven. Thanks for listening!

In this show, we talk about where community comes from and why it's important. We also talk about what happens when we want community to be a certain thing and find out it is definitely NOT that thing. We also dangerously broach the topic of why your community shouldn't be a bunch of people who share the same political opinions as you do. Enjoy the show.

In this episode, we share a few passages that show God not only cares about the little things but even commands us to pray for them. We also tell some stories from our life about how God has answered prayers for everyday things.

Does it always have to be a formal, scheduled time where you sit down for an hour with God? Or can it be more conversational and "as you go" about your day? What do you do when you don't know what to say? How can God's word transform your prayer life? We get to these issues and more in the third episode in our series on How to Grow as a Disciple.

It's a combination of Scripture, Prayer, and Community. Of course that's not everything, but without doing these things by God's grace, we will not become more like Jesus. In this episode, we start with Scripture and tackle how to and how not to read the Bible. Ultimately, the Bible is not about us, but it is for us. It's about God and what he is doing.
