#336: Can I Move Past Cancel Culture to Meaningful Conversations? With Sean McDowell

Differences of opinion have always been part of life. It’s not new to agree and disagree about politics, social issues, religion, current events, and even sports. But when we did disagree, it didn’t used to cause a break-up between family and friends. Nowadays, we live in an argument culture that has led to nearly one-third of people reporting they have stopped talking to a friend or family member due to a disagreement. Plus, nearly two-thirds of people say they stay quiet about their beliefs because they’re afraid of offending others or getting beat up online. Well today’s guest, Sean McDowell, wants to help you end this stalemate. Christians are called to be God’s ambassadors, which means we need to engage in a sincere and loving way with those around us—especially those with different perspectives. So, let’s revive the art of meaningful conversations and cancel this cancel culture! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/336  Read the episode TRANSCRIPT in the show notes.

#325: Can I Find the Path to a Joy-Filled Life? With Tara Dew

When life is hard or sad, it can feel like joy is out of reach. And when we’re in a really difficult season, the “overflowing joy” spoken of in Scripture can seem impossible to experience. But it’s not true, my friend! We can experience joy in any circumstance and experience it in full. Today’s guest, author and Bible teacher Tara Dew, explains that if you’re willing to take Jesus up on His word, you’ll find that God’s pruning, God’s presence, and God’s commands have the power to deliver a ton of joy to your life. As we look at Jesus’ instructions in John chapter 15, Tara will point out three surprising paths to a truly joy-filled life, as well as reveal the paths we often think lead us to joy but are actually dead ends.

Most of us grow up thinking failure is bad. And, let’s face it, it never feels good!
