Dangers of New Age Thinking
A lot of people today view Jesus as a "good man" and will follow His ideas without viewing the deity and resurrection as truth. This allows for picking and choosing what one wants out of the Bible, essentially making their own religion.

#24 Jordan Peterson: Is he a Christian?
Today we get into a discussion on Jordan Peterson's comments on belief "I act as if God exists" and some of his other comments on Christianity. We watch a few clips for context and have those posted below. The point of this discussion isn't specifically Jordan Peterson's beliefs but rather those that adopt his mindset and is that mindset doing potential Christian's a disservice by not diving fully in. We debate the idea of can someone claim to believe something and have no fruit to reflect that belief. The 3 of us don't fully agree on this topic so would love to know your thoughts in the comments.

Discerning a Spiritual Leader Requires Time in the Word
Knowing God's Word is necessary to be able to discern the leaders or teachers you allow in your life. There is a lot of false doctrine being taught today (prosperity gospel for example) and you need to put time into knowing the Bible so you can better discern what is truth and what is truth being bent to fit today's culture or tickle one's ears.
