We Were Thinking

This is one of our most requested topics. Steve was featured in an article for The Christian Index (https://christianindex.org/stories/high-school-seminary-striking-early-morning-chord-in-kentucky,32295) where they talked about something he started several years ago. Calling it High School Seminary, Steve challenged his students to stop living from camp high to camp high and get serious about their faith. What followed became an incredible experience where students were challenged in their faith; they even had to write papers about it! Join the guys as they talk about this unique idea that wasn't the start of a program, but a stoking of the fires.

Concluding the three-part series on living out the marriage vows, Steve and Matt Talk about the last section "to love and to cherish" and "until death do us part." Make sure to listen to the other episodes first to catch up before diving into part 3.

We said this would be a two-parter, but there was just too much to cover! If you didn't catch the first episode, make sure you listen to it first. The guys are going through the traditional marriage vows and how to live them out through the duration of your marriage. This episode, Steve and Matt focus in on "for richer for poorer" and "in sickness and in health."

Steve and Sula spoke at a marriage event, and talked about the seasons of marriage. Join Steve and Matt as they discuss the traditional wedding vows, and the importance of upholding those throughout every stage of life. This turned into a 3 part conversation. Today they focus in on "to have and to hold from this day forward" and "for better, for worse".

We felt like we had to weigh in on Charlie Kirk's death and the cultural reaction to it. Bear in mind: THIS IS NOT A POLITICAL EPISODE. We take a look at what people have said about him for good and ill, but our focus is not on Charlie Kirk but on Jesus Christ. This is in no way a praise session for a person, political leaning or ideology, nor is it a slamming session.

There are 5 areas of the New Testament church are Evangelism, Worship, Discipleship, Missions/Ministry, & Fellowship/Outreach. Steve and Matt discuss what each of these mean, and why they are important to every member of the church, not just ministers. Don't forget to drop us a line at info@wewerethinking.org
