Enduring Christianity
Discussing the joys AND challenges of sincerely following Jesus. Salvation in Jesus is a gift, but Jesus warns us of the temptations that can lure us away. Jesus said "Heaven and Earth will pass away, but my word endures forever." and "Only those who endure until the end will be saved." If your goal is ONLY to get to heaven then maybe despite your good intentions you're heading in the wrong direction? Maybe the direction is faithfully FOLLOWING Jesus and the result is Him? No, this is not a works based podcast! No, this is not an, "I go to Heaven because I earned it." This is a conversation about loving Jesus because he deserves my all.

Praying Continuously
1 Thessalonians 5:16-17 - "Rejoice always, Pray without ceasing!"
Prayer can be challenging and there can seem to be an endless amount of reasons that stand in the way of a healthy prayer life. One minute we’re focused and then suddenly “at the drop of a hat” we abandon communication with our Lord, drifting off into a world of distractions. The problems that stand in the way of a regular prayer life all stem from one place: our independent - sinful nature.
Listen in as the guys confess their own challenges with prayer. Have a relatable laugh with the ridiculousness of what occurs in their own heads when it comes to prayer, and discuss how to overcome the problems (us!) with prayer. Always reminding ourselves to enter His courts with thanksgiving. For the things we pray for are often temporary, but the things we praise Him for are eternal!
