Ep. 30: Social Media, Part 1 - "Cautious Consumption"
Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
Wednesday Mar 17, 2021
A quick survey of the most recent data confirms something that most people know intuitively about social media. It is an enormously influential means of communication in our society. One of the more compelling and concerning takeaways from all of the data about this immensely influential medium is that the use of social media is NOT primarily driven by content production, but rather by content consumption... consumption on a massive scale.
In this first episode in our new series on Social Media, we discuss some important principles about its use and the need for Christians to exercise biblical discernment and caution when choosing the content we consume.

Ep. 25: Racial Tension, Part 2 (What do you mean?)

In the classic fairytale comedy, The Princess Bride, one of the characters, Vizzini, keeps exclaiming the word, "Inconceivable!", when something happens that he was sure could never happen. After a few of these exclamations, the beloved character, Inigo Montoya, simply says, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." In part 2 of our series on Racial Tension, we will see that there are several terms that are often repeated by pundits, politicians, professors and protestors that do not mean what you might think they mean.

After a long summer hiatus, we are back at it with a new Building Faith podcast, Uncertainty & Hope, Part 2. In our last episode in May, we were a couple of months into the COVID-19 shutdown, so we thought it would be helpful to record a short series on biblical hope. In part 1 of the series, we focused on what biblical hope actually is and how it starkly contrasts with superficial conceptions of worldly hope. In this new follow-up episode, we discuss how our understanding of biblical hope should work itself out in our lives.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of the well-known Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Through this model prayer, Jesus provides the ideal framework for our prayers, but more importantly, He teaches us how faithful prayer enables us to rightly relate to and deeply commune with our Heavenly Father.
