IN THIS EPISODE: Do you believe Jesus is the Savior? Do you love him? If you believe that Jesus died on the cross and rose again on the basis of strong evidence, then you can have faith that Christ can be trusted with your life. Believing in God is one thing; believing in the Triune God is another. Believing in Jesus is not the same as believing in the resurrected, triumphant Savior. Agreeing with the Bible is not the same thing as having faith. There are actually people in this world that believe that the Bible is true, but still are not Christians. Something is missing. If someone believes the evidence regarding the virgin birth, Christ’s death, and his resurrection, does this make him or her a Christian? Even Satan believes these things are true – but he obviously isn’t a Christian. So what makes faith different from belief?

IN THIS EPISODE: Someone once said, “We choose our hard.” For example - being overweight is hard. Losing weight is hard. Addiction is hard. Sobriety is hard. We have to choose which hard we will pursue. No matter what, life is stacked with challenges that we foresee, and others that we do not. Either way, life is hard, but the kind of hard we face is up to us. Which might get you to thinking… being a Christian is hard too, but so is not being a Christian.

IN THIS EPISODE: If you've been a believer for much time, you've been faced with this question at least once in your spiritual life. "Is the battle I'm facing from God, myself, or the Devil?" Depending on what side of the church tracks you live on, we can easily give credit to any one of them. I've heard the phrases, "God is trying to teach you a lesson" or "The devil is attacking you" in the very same community of believers. What about human choice? Do we have a part to play in the negative situation we are experiencing?
