Lee and Amy discuss what C.S. Lewis had to say about being engulfed in the news of the day, particularly as stated in the quote below:

"It is one of the evils of rapid diffusion of news that the sorrows of all the world come to us every morning. I think each village was meant to feel pity for its own sick and poor whom it can help and I doubt if it is the duty of any private person to fix his mind on ills which he cannot help. (This may even become an escape from the works of charity we really can do to those we know). A great many people do now seem to think that the mere state of being worried is in itself meritorious. I don’t think it is. We must, if it so happens, give our lives for others: but even while we’re doing it, I think we’re meant to enjoy Our Lord and, in Him, our friends, our food, our sleep, our jokes, and the birds song and the frosty sunrise." - C.S. Lewis

The earth belongs to the Lord, but according to Psalm 115:16, God has entrusted humans with its stewardship. What is our responsibility as overseers of earth?

There are often simple, practical solutions to everyday problems. While many of life’s troubles can’t be remedied with simple solutions, Lee and Amy discuss scenarios where solutions are available if applied.

We tend to read scripture through a Western lens, based on doctrine as it has been presented to us, through our own logical mindset, or some combination of both. On this episode, we explore scriptures that are often overlooked but have a lot to say about God, family, and our interaction with the spirit realm.

When you were a child, did you dream of growing up to be a doctor, a writer, a firefighter, or perhaps a rock star? What did you dream of doing or becoming? And what do our childhood desires say about who we are today?

If you stick around church life long enough, you will be disappointed. In extreme cases, spiritual and other kinds of abuse may take place - because humans are fallible. But this need not lead us to withdraw from God's presence but rather to draw even closer.

“We will not boast about things done outside our area of authority. We will boast only about what has happened within the boundaries of the work God has given us, which includes our working with you.”

2 Corinthians 10:13 NLT

In a surprising turn of events, Lee took the helm and presented this week’s topic based on 1 Corinthians 1:26-29, which states, “Remember, dear brothers and sisters, that few of you were wise in the world’s eyes or powerful or wealthy when God called you. Instead, God chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose things that are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.”

1 Corinthians 1:26-29 NLT

Fear comes in many forms, and as a result, many people are riddled with unhealthy fears that prevent them from fulfilling their divine purpose. God desires that his children live a life free from paralyzing and tormenting worry and anxiety.

"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."

- 1 John 4:18
