Have you ever wondered why this happens? Why do some colors appear before others? Why do some trees have certain colors? What is the purpose of trees losing their leaves? Why do evergreens not change color? These are some of the questions we will explore in the episode in addition to what this fall transformation can teach us about spiritual transformation and our Creator God. Creation Clues is an ongoing segment to help Christians know God through studying His handiwork in the world around us. This segment’s primary focus is on the crossroad between science, faith, and the Bible. Join us as we get to know our Creator through His Creation!

There are many reasons why your thanksgiving might not feel like a time to be thankful. But have you let the bad things overshadow all the good things this year? Find encouragement from Paul and take a time to reflect on any of the blessings you may have missed this year.

SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/basics-of-christian-living Is there a difference between Praise and Worship? Isn’t singing worshipping? And what’s the deal with offerings? Is there a “correct” amount to give? What about all the abuses around offerings and pastors with mega-mansions and private jets? If you attend church regularly these are questions you’ve likely had in the back of your mind. Unfortunately, they are not always adequately addressed from the pulpit. This lesson seeks to help you understand the Biblical definitions and origins of praise, worship, and offerings, so that you can develop a healthy understanding of how to incorporate these things into your daily Christian life (and be weary of those who would pervert it!). This lesson is a part of the Basics of Christian Living series. This 10-part series is focused on how to practice daily Christian living according to God’s instructions through the Bible.

SUPPORT THE SHOW: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Reference this lesson and find out more here: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/logic-design-evidence-of-god/ In this episode of Creation Clues we are looking at the concept of logic and design in nature. The dominant secular view is that everything came into existence by random chance. But does random create patterns and order? We know and can test that intelligence creates patterns and order. Thus, logic helps us deduce that if something is designed, there must have been intelligence behind it. In this episode we look under the microscope at how even the smallest of clues in nature can give us evidence of a God through evidence of design. Creation Clues is an ongoing segment to help Christians know God through studying His handiwork in the world around us.

The secret to a good Christian marriage is the discipline to follow God’s design for marriage and hard work. The Bible has a lot to say about the relationship between a husband and his wife, their roles and responsibilities, and how they should comport themselves in public and private. A recurring theme is submission to God and submission to each other. But the word “submission” might leave a bad taste in your mouth as it has been used to justify abusive practices. This lesson will help you work through God’s design for marriage and your responsibilities as a married individual. This lesson also covers the controversial Ephesians 5:22-24 verses on wifely submission (spoiler: husbands, verses 25-33 are specifically for you! Don’t skip it!).

This lesson DOES NOT go into overt details nor gives instructions on sexual acts. The most explicit content in this lesson is from the reading of Ezekiel 23 which describes a story of prostitution. Parents of minors are recommended to listen to this lesson to determine if it is appropriate for their children. If you are a minor (under 18) who found this lesson on your own, we recommend you only continue listening if you are prepared to discuss it with a trusted adult and (if applicable) the individual you are dating. Do you feel frustrated, confused, or disillusioned by modern dating? Have you tried searching the Bible for specific verses on dating and come up empty? Why has God not just sent you “the one”? The truth is dating as we know it today only started in the 1960s, centuries after the Bible was put together. You will not find specific advice in the Bible on modern dating for today’s cultural context. What you will find is instructions, advice, and principles about relationships and sexual relationships which apply throughout human history, no matter the culture. In this lesson you will learn how to find God’s instructions related to topics of dating and sex in scripture, and work through common questions and myths about Christian dating.

But this is not a new problem. With our modern impressions or understanding of church, some may feel out of place or disconnected and really question the purpose of their local church. Is church necessary to a Christian’s faith? To begin answering this question, it is important to understand what the Biblical standard and purpose for a church is. This lesson will help you understand what church is meant to be and how to plug into a church to strengthen your faith. This lesson is a part of the Basics of Christian Living series.

There are no explicit or detailed descriptions but parents are encouraged to listen first to determine what is appropriate for their children to listen to. When a person becomes a Christian, they are forgiven of all their sins! But guilt often stays behind and it can be difficult to forgive ourselves and find a way forward. Old and new Christians can find themselves stuck down memory lane and unable to live in the joy of their salvation. In this lesson you will learn about forgiveness, repentance, and guilt and how to deal with past sins that just don’t seem to leave you alone.

There’s infighting, depression, and stress among your team. You have no confidence in yourself as a leader and feel cold or dead inside.

Letting our emotions guide our response can easily lead to more problems and rash decision making. So, what method do we use to stay level-headed? It involves patience, time, and steady calmness when you want to absolutely freak out inside.

The question is, what do you do about it? When opportunities for revenge arise, it is tempting to seek personal justice and humiliate those who offended us. However wise, dependable, and godly leaders and their teams are not forged in the pits of revenge. They are forged through the fire of holiness and holy living. David had several opportunities for revenge on King Saul. This becomes a defining moment for his followers and a teaching moment for us on how to act when the temptation for revenge arises.

Do you feel “lonely at the top”? Or perhaps you know a friend who is “lonely at the top.” An overlooked piece of leadership is relationships, especially that with friends and/or family. Leaders need people in a similar way that people need leaders. If you are a leader, who are your close friends supporting, counseling, and encouraging you in your leadership role? If you are friends with a leader, how are you supporting, advising, and encouraging your leader? This lesson is all about the power of friendship in leadership and will help you discern what kind of person you need to find or maybe you need to be.

This Bible contains the ancient text in Hebrew, Chaldean, and Greek from the oldest manuscripts available. Under each word is the English equivalent. This Bible is the most accurate Bible in terms of translation, however, it is not the most readable as the English words are not rearranged for comprehension or syntax.

It became popular very quickly with teens and was the most popular Bible in the United Kingdom by 1991. There have been more easy-to-read or children/teen Bibles that have come out since. The GNT was put together by only 7 translators using a dynamic approach (thought-for-thought). Some scholars regard the GNT as a paraphrase and take issue with its potentially misleading doctrine.

But much like winning the lottery, victory is often followed by darker companions. After a great victory against Goliath, David suddenly found himself at the end of Saul’s spear. As leaders it’s important we know how to handle victories even when things turn sour shortly after. David’s story provides a lot of insight on how to do this well while keeping the most important thing in focus: our relationship with God.

One skill that David is remembered for in scripture is his ability to play music and sing. He was often summoned by a troubled King Saul to play the lyre and wrote many of the Psalms to be sung. These songs and music were often played during times of great distress. There are even scientific studies looking at how singing can combat symptoms of depression. Listen in to find out how you can use singing as tool in your own life and lead with a song in your heart.
