Podcast 190: Seven Tools for Self-Examination

/in /by

In God’s Festivals, the spring Holy Days are a time of self-examination. While we might hear the admonition to examine ourselves fairly frequently, how do you go about doing that? Are there any “boots on the ground,” practical approaches? Yes, there are. Today, we share seven approaches you can use, not just during this Festival season, but any time.

We also mention a few resources in the podcast. One is the 2023 LCN article, “How to Fast,” and the other is a new Whiteboard on the topic of fasting. We also refer to an old podcast of ours on prayer and biblical meditation (at least I think that is the one).

And we pray you all have a wonderful Sabbath and joyous start to the Spring Holy Days!

Podcast 186: Biblical Thinking on Tattoos and Piercings

/in /by

Tattoos and body piercings seem to be on their way to becoming the norm in society. How do we think biblically about such things? What are the right questions to ask ourselves?

As we mentioned on the program, we’ve addressed tattoos before—way back in our very first season. You can find that podcast here: “Episode 8: So, If Christ Has a Tattoo, Can I Get One?” And we talked about Mr. Gerald Weston’s helpful focus on the questions we need to ask ourselves here: “Episode 39: ‘Is It OK?’ Is Not Enough.”

Podcast 185: Three Insights for the Young from Our Time at the NRB

/in /by

Sitting here in a car with Messrs. DeSimone and West, coming back from the Religious Broadcasters Convention, it hit us that some of the things we heard and experienced this week prompted some very particular thoughts concerning the teens and young adults in the Church (and those who love them). So, if you’ll put up with a little recorded-on-the-phone-and-in-the-car audio, it’s our pleasure to share those thoughts with you!
