January 14, 2019 21:35 - 16 minutes - 30.2 MBWe've probably all dealt with this question at some point in our Christian lives: "How do I KNOW I am saved?" We want a certificate or a box checked that guarantees we are secure and don't ever have to wonder, but we don't get this in Scripture.

Why Do Bad Things Happen? with Lisa Harper
June 29, 2018 14:50 - 17 minutes - 32 MBIt doesn't take long living in the world to realize that bad things happen. And they are really unavoidable. Bad things happen to all people. But why?

#36: What is the Lord's Supper? with Brittany Salmon
June 06, 2018 17:10 - 20 minutes - 38.2 MBThe Lord's Supper is one of those moments in church life that can be difficult to understand for kids. Talking about blood is normally not something we do much unless one of our children is literally bleeding, so to think of Jesus' blood and it's symbolism in the cup that we take is a little weird.

#34: How Do We Know Jesus Was A Real Person? with Aaron Armstrong
May 23, 2018 16:01 - 16 minutes - 29.4 MBWith historical evidence - both inside the Biblical text and outside it - we can certainly confirm that Jesus was a person who lived in a certain time of history from the town of Nazareth. What must be taken on faith is the rest of the story: that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, took on the wrath of God for sin on the cross, died, was resurrected, and ascended to heaven. Indeed, it is the greatest story ever told but is also foolishness to those who don't believe. It seems cra...
