Episode #59: A Conversation about Following and Leading

Episode #59 In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin discuss the Book of Ruth and what it teaches us about following and leading. Do you ever consider who it is that is having an affect on the way that you think, speak, and act? Do you intentionally follow anyone with the sole purpose of teaching you like Jesus teaches? And, on the flip side, do you ever consider the influence that you have on other people's lives. Whether you think about it or not, you are having an influence on people. So, are you leading them to Jesus, or to something totally different? Take a listen to this episode, and we really hope you enjoy it!

Episode #58: A Conversation about Witnessing

Episode #58 In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin discuss what it means to be a witness, and the important role that all Christians have of testifying to what we have seen and heard about Jesus. This is an important discussion in connection with the book of Judges and our practical living. In Judges, we see a cycle repeated where a generation falls away from obedience to Holy living. They become oppressed, then they cry out to God in repentance, and He delivers them from the hand of their enemies. They live at peace for awhile. But then, the next generation does the same thing again. We are witnesses of Jesus. Therefore, we have the responsibility to testify to the next generation about what we have seen and heard. Sit down with Aaron and Kevin and listen to this conversation, then take something from it, and put it into your own faith conversations with others. We hope you enjoy it!

Episode #57: A Conversation about Reality

Episode #57 In this week's episode, Kevin speaks with special guest: Art Pontynen about "Reality." We live in a world that tends to consider only what "Science" says about the world to be reality. But what if Science only explores part of reality. What if it can only tell us certain "how's" but not "why" to the bigger questions we face? In this conversation - Art walks us through the difference between "facts" (that Science reveals) and the greater "Reality" (that God has created & which Scripture attests to). We hope you find this conversation invigorating, explorative, and maybe even challenging! If you do, please feel free to email questions to pastorbender@copperluth.org -- as we seek to discover The Truth - who is Jesus - together. We hope you enjoy it!

Episode #56: A Conversation about Signs

Episode #56 In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin engage in a conversation about signs. God has clearly established signage for us in our lives to show us where to go, where not to go, what to do, and what not to do. Too often, we're distracted by the other signs from the world to notice what God has put before us. They also talk about how people oftentimes look for signs or ask God for signs. Is this right to do? How do we know if we've noticed correctly? Well, listen to this conversation and we hope it will help. We hope you enjoy it!

Episode #55: A Conversation about the Law

Episode #55 In this week's episode, Kevin & Marcus talk about: THE LAW.  Sometimes people see God as a Cosmic Killjoy. Or as an overbearing father who limits what we can do, and then punishes us severely when we disobey. But in this conversation - we see that the Law is about so much more. It actually serves to give us life! To help us live better lives. And is not the basis for earning God's Love. Marcus and Kevin share personal experiences and stories of their encounters with "the Law" and explain its uses as a "curb," "mirror," and "guide." We hope you enjoy it!
