Inputs over Outputs
March 27, 2020 07:20 - 8 minutes - 6.57 MBYou would think worldwide quarantine would help life slow down, but often the opposite is happening.

What is the Gospel? with Matthew Bates
December 03, 2019 08:15 - 36 minutes - 29.6 MBWhat is the gospel of Jesus? What does it mean to have faith?

The Ministry of Touch with Lore Wilbert
November 12, 2019 08:20 - 38 minutes - 31.4 MBThe #metoo #churchtoo movement has vividly shown how broken our understanding of touch is.

Grief and the Prosperity Gospel with Richard Clark

Dan White Jr.
July 16, 2019 07:20 - 41 minutes - 33.8 MBIt's all too easy to navigate life with others with an "Us Vs. Them" mentality.

Chelsea Patterson Sobolik
February 26, 2019 08:25 - 46 minutes - 37.6 MBOne of the often unspoken realities is that 20% of women are facing childlessness, whether through miscarriage or inability to get pregnant.

Trevin Wax
February 12, 2019 08:30 - 39 minutes - 31.7 MBFor many people the goal of life is finding their authentic voice, and then expressing it to the world. This could be described as the "you be you" attitude. In order to find happiness within ourselves we want to know who we are and then have the freedom to express it within inhibition. As self-expression continues to grow as a value, it also invades the church despite the call of Christ for followers of Jesus to lay down their lives in order to take up His cross. On this episode o...
Drew Dyck
January 29, 2019 08:28 - 49 minutes - 39.6 MBIn Paul's list of the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5 one fruit is clearly overlooked compared to the others: self-control. Though looking through the self-help section of the book store shows how in vogue focus on self-control is, godly self-control has little to do with the self-advancement of a self-help book or it wouldn't be a Fruit of the Spirit of God. Recently Drew Dyck endeavored to make self-control a bigger part of his life. This involved research into how self-contro...

Hannah Anderson
October 30, 2018 07:15 - 46 minutes - 37.5 MBHow do you determine what's good? In our day of fake news and biased media and endless marketing ploys, deciding what to buy into is getting more difficult all the time. On this episode of Called Out, hear from Hannah Anderson as she walks us through how we can know whether something is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8).

Though Edwards is most known from his mid-1700s sermon titled "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry God," his library of work has had a lasting influence, even greatly shaping the evangelical community of Christians today. Edwards' understanding of who ...
#Fail
October 16, 2018 07:10 - 43 minutes - 35.2 MBIf your motivation to avoid failure exceeds your motivation for success then you, like many others, fear failure. This is the crippling reality many face today because past failure has led them to believe they are failures entirely, and the grip of shame from failure never relents. Though failure is a reality in life for everyone, few are equipped with handling it and knowing how to move forward. If that sounds like you, this episode was made with you in mind. On this episode, you...
Andi Andrew
October 09, 2018 07:15 - 37 minutes - 29.8 MBFollowing Jesus can often feel so overwhelmingly sacrificial that we end up playing the part without joining the mission.

Barnabas Piper
May 23, 2018 04:00 - 49 minutes - 39.5 MBOne of the prevailing attitudes of our day is cynicism. This form of cynicism shows itself as a state of negativity and questioning where we can never believe anything at face value, and then we do our best to keep everything at arm's length, rather than embracing it. On this episode, you'll hear Barnabas Piper (a self-proclaimed cynic) share about how cynicism develops, how it wreaks havoc on those around it, and then, toward the end, we share some encouragements for helping you st...
Mo Isom
April 24, 2018 04:04 - 38 minutes - 30.6 MBAs sex between unmarried consenting individuals has become not only accepted but celebrated in society as a whole, it has led many within the church to ignore conversations about sex, pushing it away, thinking of the potential damage it can cause. Lost in this, is that God created sex for a good and valuable purpose. In this episode you will hear from Mo Isom sharing her story of sexual brokenness, and what healing looked like in response to it. Also included is in the episode is so...
Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel
March 20, 2018 04:18 - 47 minutes - 38.2 MBPreviously on the podcast we explored the subject gone viral, the #MeToo movement, but behind that movement is how people in power have taken advantage of others. We don't have a sexual abuse problem in isolation, we have a power problem. As easy as it would be to point the finger at Hollywood or Washington as exclusively having a power problem, Christians are not immune to the sinful temptations power presents. In this episode you'll hear from Jamin Goggin and Kyle Strobel—the auth...
