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.

What's the Point?
Do you ever find yourself asking “What’s the point?” as you relive another repetitive task, or face the same challenges of which you faced yesterday and will inevitably have to face again tomorrow... and the day after that... and the day after that? For many of us, the redundancy of each new day feels nothing like a "new day," just the same tasks as the days before. At times it can become too easy to conclude that everything is meaningless, and eventually lead us to feel as if we ourselves are meaningless too - "What's the Point?"
In these moments we can relate to the writer of Ecclesiastes when he says “there is nothing new under the sun - everything is meaningless, meaningless”
The author of Ecclesiastes writes 12 chapters to prove how meaningless this life is, but then after proving how meaningless everything is, he ends with these words! - "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."
Join the Trio as they discuss the reality of how every person faces the feeling of being meaningless and encourage each other to stop “flying by the seat of their pants” when it comes to placing their time and efforts on "meaningless" tasks and instead placing their focus on what really matters - To fear and love God by obeying Him!
