EP 52 - The Power of the Tongue

Thu, 14 November 2024 06:00:00 CST

EP 51 - Are Churches Really Pro-Life?

Wed, 30 October 2024 09:00:00 CDT

It has been said that the Church doesn't care for all lives - that they are against abortion, but then do nothing once the baby is born. But the truth is that every life matters to the Church - all babies, all mothers, all fathers, and all who would be caring for these babies. On this episode, Ben Clapper and Trinity Wicker from Louisiana Right to Life discuss their involvement in the Pro-Life movement and how the Church can have a helpful part in caring for both babies and mothers who choose life!

EP 49 - Should the Bible Change with Culture?

Thu, 3 October 2024 09:00:00 CDT

Some would say the Bible is an old book that needs to shift and conform to the ever-changing world around us. But the very One who inspired all of the scripture said, "I don't change." Thinking that the Bible should change based on culture is a wrong worldview. If we shift our thinking to a Biblical worldview, it will change the way we make decisions as we realize God not only spoke then, but is still speaking now! Tune in as Pastor Chuck Stearns leans into the details of living life through a Biblical worldview.
