God’s in Control . . . right?
One of the things that you hear when something goes wrong in your life, is that "Don't worry, just know God is in control". We deal with this statement and examine exactly where the source of our problem lies.

Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen to Good People?
One of my favorite ways that we use to blame God for the things that happen in our lives is to use the old "God allowed it" excuse. This completely removes us ( and more importantly, the devil ) from the situation and places all of guilt on our loving Father. If you have asked yourself, or your pastor, or your dog the question, "Why does God allow bad things to happen to good people?" then this podcast is for you.

Is Everything that Happens Part of God’s Will?
Is everything that goes on on this planet part of a big plan that God has for us? Is His will always done? If God is in control, then why do bad things happen to good people. This podcast is the second installment in a series on what God's will is and how it plays out in our lives.

Excuses We Make for God When Things Go Wrong
There are all kinds of explanations offered by Christians when things go wrong in our lives. We don't want people to know that we don't have all the answers, so we conveniently make up excuses for "why bad things happen to good people." If you have struggled with this question, or if you're like me and have struggled with the answers we are generally provided, then check out this podcast and challenge the conventional way of thinking.

Free*
It just seems that nothing is free on this planet. There is always a hidden cost; always some fine print at the bottom that we somehow overlooked. There's always a shipping and handling charge or some other little "fee" that is tacked on to anything that we receive for "free". Grace changes all the rules. Grace breaks all the rules. We've seen that it doesn't make sense. Now see that it doesn't cost you anything . . . really.

Grace for Those Who Don’t Deserve It
Today's podcast covers a story that Jesus tells about two people: one a sinner and the other a church-goer. Unless you're familiar with the story, I can guarantee you that the grace of God, as it's revealed in this parable, will surprise you as Jesus relates this account to the people gathered that day.

Do The Math . . . Grace Makes No Sense
One of the most difficult things to comprehend about grace is how unfair it seems. When you crunch the numbers, it looks like God is really getting the short end of the stick. What we fail to realize, is that this is exactly the way God wanted it. This is just another example of His great love for us. This podcast deals with a couple of parables in the bible and compares the way we look at the numbers versus how grace looks at them.

When is Grace No Longer Grace?
Paul details exactly how free grace really is when he says in Romans 11, "And if by grace, then it is no longer by works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace". I hope this podcast helps reinforce in your mind and in your life just exactly how "free" the grace of God is.

Grace
We've discussed God's love for us and have related it to the subject of Grace. This podcast attempts to define "grace" in terms that are more familiar to us. Grace removes our actions from the equation and focuses on a faithful, loving father who wants to provide his best for you.

Surprise Surprise Surprise . . . Gomer Teaches Grace
The love that God shows for his kids is exemplified in His directions to Hosea regarding Gomer. This story illustrates the textbook definition of God's grace. His love for us isn't changed by how we act towards him. That is amazing. Paul comments in Romans 8 that NOTHING can separate us from the love of Christ.

You Can’t Screw-Up How Much God Loves You
God's unchanging love is amazing. He loved you before the creation of the world, so your performance and accomplishments aren't a contributing factor to that love. You can't screw-up how much He loves you. I know . . . I've tried.
