No Trash, Just Truth! - Proverbs 9:10 MinistriesEpisode 99 - The Good Father - Dysfunctional Children, Functional God Part 4Send us a textWe are at the last episode of our series, Dysfunctional Children, Functional God. Now that we have looked at the dysfunctional children, in this episode, we turn our attention to the father in the parable of the prodigal son. The father in this story Jesus told represents God. How does the father's attitude and actions towards the defiant son and the rule-following son mirror God's attitude and actions towards us? What are the most important takeaways from this parable and the other two Jesus told right before? Thanks for tuning in! B...2021-08-0922 min
No Trash, Just Truth! - Proverbs 9:10 MinistriesEpisode 98 - The Rule Follower - Dysfunctional Children, Functional God Part 3Send us a textIn Part 3 of our mini series, Dysfunctional Children, Functional God, we look at our last dysfunctional child - The Rule Follower. Now, rule following is usually a good thing - in fact, not following any rules, like we see in society today, can lead to lawlessness. But what happens when rule following goes bad? What happens when, like the elder brother in the parable of the prodigal son, our rule following supersedes everything else. If "rule breaking" is sinful, how can "rule following" be sinful, too? And is there anyone who can manage...2021-08-0234 min
No Trash, Just Truth! - Proverbs 9:10 MinistriesEpisode 97 - The Defiant Child - Dysfunctional Children, Functional God Part 2Send us a textIn this episode, we begin to delve into what is commonly known as the parable of the prodigal son. We take a hard look at the younger son, who is defiant, selfish, and cruel to his father. His wild ways eventually lead him to desperation with only one hope - returning in disgrace to the father he had so callously fled from. This is a well-know parable, but we dig in deep to see how we were all the younger son at some point in our lives. And we all have m...2021-07-2622 min

Join us as we spend 4 weeks digging into what is commonly known as the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Most know this parable as a tale Jesus told about a son who leaves his father, squanders his money, and comes back with his tail between his leg throwing himself on his father's mercy. But it is so much more! Join us as we dig into the rich theology in this parable, as well as the parables Jesus tells along with this one.2021-07-1922 min
No Trash, Just Truth! - Proverbs 9:10 MinistriesEpisode 95 - Loving the UnlovableSend us a textWe all know the command to love our enemies. Jesus expects us to put the best interests of everyone, even our enemies, before our own. But what about those who are not are enemies? Maybe they are friends or family members, or church members, and for various reasons, they are just unlovable? Or what if it’s us who is really difficult for the people around you to love?

After all, nobody wants to get into trouble or get caught doing something they aren't supposed to be doing! And certainly none of us ever wants to be proven wrong! It's so much easier to just cast the blame onto someone else, or give excuses, or just not take responsibility.

But if it's so black and white why does just about every Christian struggle with on a fairly regular basis? Is it ever okay to lie? Is there ever a situation where it's not a sin? Is lying to yourself, others, and God all the same and all equally serious? Is it okay to lie about something inconsequential to save someone's feelings? Why do we lie to begin with?

It is about a subject that is gaining more and more attention in Christian circles and that’s should Christian women be required to wear head coverings in church, and maybe even all the time. Some proponents say, using 1 Corinthians 11 that Paul says women should wear head coverings as a sign of submission. There’s a lot of debate about it – does 1 Corinthians 11 prescribe this as a practice for Christian women today at all, or was this a cultural thing for the Corinthian church...2021-06-0728 min
