Gregory's Inf...2022-01-051h 11A Biblical WorldviewThe Fallacy of Christian NationalismThere are 2 big errors I've seen whenever I've talked to someone about America. The first fallacy is to think that America is the "city on a hill," so we treat her like she's the bride of Christ, the Church. The second fallacy is to think that America isn't significant, so we should have nothing to do with politics. While both fallacies are ditches to not fall into, Christians should be involved without becoming engrossed. We are citizens of heaven which means we are good citizens of our countries.2021-12-2029 minA Biblical WorldviewFight Anxiety With ThankfulnessOFFENDED: (Part 4) - Life is a series of good and bad things happening at the same time. Even good things have some less desirable components attached to them. In light of this, we have a choice: thankfulness or entitlement, gratitude or complaining. In this episode, I explain why thankfulness is crucial for spiritual health.2021-11-2227 minA Biblical WorldviewHow To Deal With Hurting FriendshipsOFFENDED: (Part 3) - Friendships are some of the most precious things in our lives, a source of the greatest joys and deepest aches. Sometimes they last a lifetime; sometimes they end prematurely. It leaves us blindsided, scratching our heads trying to figure out why. Today, we examine the different kinds of friends you may have, and how to process and heal from bad friendships.2021-11-1533 minA Biblical WorldviewHow To Deal With Church HurtOFFENDED: (Part 2) - If you stick around long enough, somebody in the church will hurt you. Sometimes it is deliberate, sometimes it by accident. Sometimes we misinterpret people's words, actions, or motives. In any case, we need to become part of the solution rather than letting bitterness sour our perspective.2021-11-0725 minA Biblical WorldviewBlessed Are Those Who Are Not OffendedOFFENDED: (Part 1) - Are you easily offended? Do you stand up for truth? Do you have a hard time showing compassion to people? As important as it is to stand up for what is true, we need to also show grace, otherwise our right message becomes wrong. In this episode, I talk about dealing with offense, guidelines for judging others, and answering why we must evaluate ourselves.2021-10-2555 minA Biblical WorldviewDiscerning Discernment MinistriesA lot of Christians are critical of preachers and leaders in the church, yet nobody has critiqued the people who have appointed themselves to have a "discernment ministry." Hasn't everyone been "exposed" at this point? When and where does the buck stop? In this episode, we examine the motives of such people as we see similar opposition play out in the life of Paul. I also close with some thoughts on the Rise and Fall of Mars Hill podcast.2021-10-1259 minA Biblical WorldviewTotal Health: Body, Soul, and SpiritGod’s healing is complete, from the inside out.2021-09-2124 minA Biblical WorldviewPredestination: Do We Choose God or Does He Choose Us?The relationship between God's sovereignty and our responsibility is inseparable and mysterious.
