Required ReadingRomeo and Juliet by William ShakespeareThis week on Required Reading, we dust off our middle school readers and learn about high schoolers in love. We read Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the passionate and mature love of a 13 and 15 year old. It's basically Elizabethan Degrassi.
Co-Hosts: Dr. Nic Hoffmann, Mike Burns, Mike Carroll
"n Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love. It is not simply that their families disapprove; the Montagues and the Capulets are engaged in a blood feud.
In this death-filled setting, the movement from...

Faith Walk / William CarrollEp 83 Faith Beyond KnowledgeSend us a textWhat's the difference between knowing about God and being known by Him? This question strikes at the heart of authentic faith and challenges us to examine our spiritual lives beyond religious performance.Many believers find themselves in a peculiar position—they attend church, know scripture, participate in good works, and yet something essential remains missing. As your host William explains, Jesus warned about those who would one day approach Him saying, "Lord, we preached in your name, fed the hungry, and did many wonderful works," only to hear the devastating response: "De...

That explosive force Jesus promised His followers seems absent in many churches today. William Carroll tackles this head-on in a candid exploration of the Holy Spirit's role in empowering believers.Carroll doesn't mince words about denominational divisions, playfully describing himself as a "Baptist metacathecostal" who appreciates traditions from across the Christian spectrum. Drawing from personal experience across multiple denominations, he challenges listeners to look beyond labels to the unifying power of the Spirit. Even John Wesley, he points out, witnessed manifestations in...

William Carroll tackles a profound spiritual principle that's often overlooked in modern Christianity – the overflow principle.

Elijah's journey from dramatic victory to desperate flight reveals a universal truth about our spiritual walk. After witnessing fire from heaven consume not just his sacrifice but the altar itself, this mighty prophet runs for his life at the mere threat of Queen Jezebel.

When Elijah challenged and defeated 850 false prophets on Mount Carmel through God's spectacular display of fire from heaven, it marked his greatest triumph. Yet moments later, a single threat from Queen Jezebel sent this mighty prophet fleeing into the wilderness, begging for death.Why do our greatest victories often precede our deepest vulnerabilities? The pattern reveals a spiritual principle we frequently overlook. The enemy targets us not primarily in our weakness bu...

The transformative journey from fearful believer to bold witness doesn't happen by accident—and it rarely happens just once.Drawing from Acts chapter 4, we unpack the remarkable revelation that the early disciples experienced multiple fillings of the Holy Spirit. After being threatened by religious authorities for healing and preaching in Jesus' name, these ordinary believers gathered to pray not for safety, but for greater boldness! The result?
