Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 97In this episode, we listen to a profound sermon by Haddon Robinson called "Good Snakes Turned Bad." In it, he talks about the serpent that was lifted up during the 40 years Israel wandering in the Wilderness.This sermon has deeply blessed and challenged me over the years as I am reminded how we often take what God has done in the past and try to force it into the present … in essence not living by the fire of God but by the ashes left by past fires.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/97/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 95We often make things far too complicated (like ordering drinks at Starbucks). But the Gospel itself is simple enough even a child can understand it.In this episode, I not only talk about how to order one of my favorite drinks at Starbucks, but I use it as an illustration that we must keep the simplicity of the Gospel – which is all about Christ and Him Crucified.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/95/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 94Tis the Season! … for distraction.Sadly, in this season between Thanksgiving and the New Year, most people seem to be in a whirlwind of hustle, bustle, busyness, and distraction.Yet, though we should be focused all throughout the year, this is the season where we should have the most focus, the most intentionality – for the Christmas season truly is to one focus: Christ Himself.In this episode, I give several fun (and disturbing) statistics for the distraction of the modern world and talk about the necessity of having Christ at the center of our focus and lives, especially during Christmas.If you feel lost in a season of distraction, then this episode is for you.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/94/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 91Most of us spend one day a year pondering what we are thankful for (Thanksgiving). But Christians are called to live a continual lifestyle of thanksgiving.In this special Thanksgiving episode, we examine Ephesians 5:4 and discuss what it means to have the language of the kingdom of God—which is continually giving thanks. This isn't a one-time event but the daily expression and promotion of God's kingdom. For we as believers are to have a tongue (and life) of thanksgiving.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/91/

Deeper Christian Podcast • Episode 90At some point in life, we all face trials, difficulties, hardships, and circumstances. So the question becomes, how do we find peace and joy amidst those situations?Looking at Romans 8:28, we are reminded that though God may not cause the circumstance we face, He is able to leverage it for good. Using this as a foundation, this episode explores what it means to discover true peace and joy in any situation or circumstance of life – for our God is the Prince of Peace.Download the shownotes for this episode and get other Christ-centered teaching and resources at: deeperChristian.com/90/
