009 | Everything I Ever Did: Shame | Theology AMA
25 maart 2020 · 25 min
If we view ourselves as unworthy, we act unworthy. The world knows this, so it approaches shame from a self-centered perspective - if we love ourselves more, we will feel shame less… right? But how many of us have seen that repeating “you’re worthy” doesn’t remove the sting of what we’ve done, or resolve the pain of who we used to be? In this episode we talk about what shame is, how loving ourselves doesn’t remove it, and why trusting God’s word about your identity is the key to freedom. Mentioned: The Gospel Primer by Milton Vincent Lees meer

007 | Anxiety | Theology AMA
4 maart 2020 · 32 min
If you’ve lived with anxiety for most of your life, the thought of overcoming it sounds like an unrealistic dream. Yet this is what Jesus promises (Matt. 11, John 14, Matt. 6). Jesus’ promise was not as simple as “pray about it” or other Christian platitudes thrown at anxiety. There is no quick fix. But Jesus never makes a promise He won’t bring to fruition. In this episode, we break down why approaching anxiety physically AND spiritually is essential to battling well. We talk about how knowing God’s character is the first step to true trust. Lastly, we talk about what victory over anything - anxiety included - looks like for the believer. Lees meer

004| Redeeming Broken Sexuality | Theology AMA
10 februari 2020 · 36 min
The reality is that the Bible is the most sex-positive book that exists when you understand it rightly. Lees meer
There isn't this dichotomy between people who hold a Biblical sexual ethic and people who are sex-positive who believe that sex is awesome, wonderful, exciting, healthy and that you should be able to talk about it. These aren't two opposite camps. They aren't polar ends of a spectrum.

-
002 | Cultivating a Lasting Community | Theology AMA
4 februari 2020 · 29 min
