  • Summer Stories with Joe Busolits

    Thank you Loren for doing an awesome job with the podcasts solo without Chris although we miss you Chris but Loren has your back! Thank you Joe for giving your testimony and obeying the Lord in becoming an Elder of the church. We loved Pastor Robert Johnson also!

  • Great content

    Great content for the first few episodes so far - nice to bring in “guest” voices too!

    Recommend shorter intro music or voice over after only first 2-3 seconds. Podcast intro music doesn’t do anything to bring in more listeners and just eats up time.

    Most podcasts I listen to have little to no music with no voiceover because it’s not like browsing through a radio station to see what might catch your attention.

    Audio quality and levels definitely improving with experience!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Answering the Big Questions | Dr. Mark Farnham
Q: What are some practical steps for engaging with unbelievers?
Start conversations by asking worldview questions and don't stress about getting to the Gospel immediately. Just be willing to have genuine dialogues as the opportunity arises.
Answering the Big Questions | Dr. Mark Farnham
Q: What is the problem of evil and suffering from a Christian perspective?
Suffering and evil can only be understood within the context of the Christian worldview, which addresses the brokenness of the world. It argues that if there is no God, then there is no meaning in suffering, and that acknowledges the longing people have for meaning and purpose.
Answering the Big Questions | Dr. Mark Farnham
Q: How can we know the Gospels are reliable despite being written by believers?
The reliability of the Gospels is supported by their separate historical accounts and the amount of external evidence. Believers wrote them because they were witnesses to Jesus's life. Their candid accounts include doubts and misunderstandings, suggesting they did not fabricate their stories.
A Theology of Gender: Precious in God’s Sight
Q: What about spiritually leading the household?
It is primarily the father's job to spiritually lead the household, but mothers play a significant role, especially in daily discipleship.
A Theology of Gender: Precious in God’s Sight
Q: What am I supposed to do if I'm the man of the house?
Men should take the lead in protection and providing for their families, as reflected in scripture.
