Podcast 172: The Inside Always Affects the Outside

/in /by

It’s easy to think that we can be one way when we’re alone and another in public, or to buy into the idea that one’s private, personal choices are not in any way anyone else’s business, because one has nothing to do with the other. But, in reality, the inside always impacts the outside, and individual choices do have societal ramifications. Let’s apply some biblical thinking to the question.

P.S. You know, we lamented at the end of this podcast that we had not provided more tips and advice on how to address what’s on the inside. We’ve talked about doing an episode on shepherding your heart, and we probably should! So, as a small step in that direction, we thought it would be helpful to share one of Dr. Roderick Meredith’s sermons on having a positive attitude. There is more to say, to be sure, but at least this can help get you started! Here it is: “Build a Positive Attitude!”

/in /by

A fascinating study on how “brain rot” content devastates the capabilities of A.I. points us to frightening conclusions about its effects on us—causing potentially permanent damage. Join us on the podcast today as we talk about what scientists are learning and what God teaches, and let’s think biblically about brain rot—while we can still think!

In the podcast, we mention an earlier one that discusses biblical meditation. That was way back—Podcast 37! You can find it on the Podcast page of this website or just click here: “Podcast 37: Tips on Prayer and Meditation.”

Podcast 169: No, You Shouldn’t Keep Halloween

/in /by

Sometimes the most obvious conclusions are the right ones! Halloween seems obviously heathen-ish, doesn’t it? Still, some claim it is actually Christian in origin or otherwise a good thing and that those who claim it is evil in nature are naïve simpletons, unable to appreciate subtlety. Don’t be fooled! What does God think about Halloween? When you think biblically, the right answer is, thankfully, very clear and, yes, abundantly obvious. Join us as we talk about it!

In the podcast we refer to an article from the Telegraph about Halloween. Here is a link for their take on the day [may be behind a paywall, but hopefully not!]: “The real reason we [Not us! Other people!] celebrate Halloween, from trick-or-treat to pumpkin carving”
