Today, we are going to conclude this months series with a look into what evangelism can look like in the future.

How can we share our faith with our coworkers and the people we interact with in everyday life?

Jerrod and Allie discuss evangelizing to friends and the challenges that come with it.

Last week we opened up with how to share the Gospel with our families. Today, we’ll be talking about how to share the Gospel with friends and will give you a few keys to keep in mind as you begin to share your faith with your friends.

All month long we’re going to be looking at the different areas of relationships in our lives and discuss how we can begin sharing the Gospel with them. This week, we’re starting the conversation with our families.

We know when to divide, but when, how and should the different denominations within the tent of Christian Orthodoxy unite?

In this Tuesday Talk, Jerrod and Allie discuss church division and Progressive Christianity.

The primary doctrines of Christianity may be stated slightly differently from one church gathering to the next, but they are the ones that, by and large, we should all agree on. There is clearly a large measure of grace that we are meant to extend towards one another as we are each pursuing Christ with a limited ability to fully understand many of the big topics found in scripture – so with that in mind, if there is a big disagreement on primary doctrines, how far is too far?

Jerrod and Allie discuss church division.

Unity within the body of believers is critically important and yet, we also looked at the big and seemingly small issues that caused the church to split into the 6 primary branches that just about all of the almost 40,000 modern denominations are descending out of. Love and unity are meant to be distinctives which set apart the Christian Church from the rest of the divided world. Our faith in Jesus transcends our cultures, our nations, our politics, our families and even our lives and binds us together in, what Romans 12 describes as “one body in Christ.” This is the way it ought to be.

Jerrod and Allie discuss denominations, church division, and the culture surrounding different churches.

There are faithful Christians all over the world who are sharing the Gospel, but there's a lot of push-back. Some of the critiques that Christians get are pretty easily dismissed, and some are a little more challenging. One critique Christians are often faced with is why there are so many denominations of Christianity, and that's what we will discuss today.

Do you sometimes feel like a complete nincompoop? Do you find yourself struggling with even the most simple of tasks? do you find yourself failing over and over again, and you just can't figure out why? Well... we have the answer! The problem is you! But don't worry! We have a solution!

Our philosophies, the ones that we truly believe and not just what we superficially claim on the surface, are what dictate our actions, behaviors and decisions in life and relationships. We might not be able to see how these philosophies are impacting our relationships, but today it’s all coming together.

Today, we are tackling a big question: Are you a good person? I mean, that should be our goal, right; to be good, decent, and production contributors to society in our local communities and the world at large? If we can all agree that that, goodness, should be the goal that each of us strives towards, then we should be off to a good start. At the end of today’s video, we’re going to give you a quick and easy test so that you can know the answer without a shadow of a doubt, but before we do that, we need to take a deeper look at the question.

What are you living for? The Christian worldview here is that we were made by God and for God, to glorify Him in and with our lives. That’s a short answer with a long explanation, but we’ll come back to that part. Other theistic groups would answer that question according to their beliefs about the god that they worship and the doctrines of their faith, but what about atheists? What about agnostics? If you don’t believe in God, what are you living for?

New segment! 💥 TUESDAY TALKS Join Jerrod and Allie as they have unfiltered conversations about the week's topic. This week - nihilism

There is so much ground to cover when it comes to the impact of philosophy and individual worldviews on our decision making by itself, but then adding on the layer of how what shows we binge and what music we stream influences those philosophical beliefs is a huge undertaking. We'll cover this in our video today!

Potentially more than any other medium, podcasts actually have a lot to show us about healthy relationship behaviors, but not necessarily what you might have in mind. We’ll break it down for you today!

Today, we’ll be focusing on the top 6 shows of 2022, and the number one for most watched was a huge surprise. Stick around as we dive in!

Last week was movies and this week is all about the top music of 2022. This year, a consistent trend in music was pointing out how hopeless all of it was. The music is actually a really perfect metaphor for the lifestyles they are singing about; it’s slick, well produced, touched and retouched to be everything you’re looking for - but soon enough you’re feeling numb and empty.

It’s January again, so that means it’s time for the annual WholeHeartEd media review, where we will take a look at the top movies, music, shows and podcasts of the previous year, pick apart the messages they are portraying about relationships and evaluate whether those messages are healthy or unhealthy. Last year was a huge year for sequels and reboots with nearly every one of the top ten grossing films falling into one of those categories. We’re going to look at what the top 10 movies of last year were and let you know our thoughts about the messages they portrayed. 🎬

All month long, we have been doing our best to help provide you with hope for the holidays, but we have saved the best for last! The greatest gift that any of us could ever receive is not something that can be bought or even something that we can hold, but for all who accept this gift, nothing will ever be the same.

Some of us are tormented about the choices and losses of our pasts or filled with worry about what lies ahead of us in our future. Today, we’ll look to the Gospel to help us see how Christ not only redeems our pasts but gives hope for our futures.

Some look forward to Christmas all year, but for an increasing number of others, stress, pressure and the inability to ever feel like you’re measuring up can cast a dark cloud over the whole season. Today, we are going to be speaking directly to those issues, so stick with us as we answer just how the Gospel can lift the burdens from your holiday and your life!
