When we say God is all-powerful, it means He is logically all-powerful. He does not make an absurdity like a square circle or a married bachelor. He is not illogical in His power. And God's desire is for everyone to know and experience His love. He desires for people to know Him. But He has also given human beings the freedom to choose. . . . #FindingSomethingREAL #Christianity #Apologetics #Jesus #Faith #life #Bible #Gospel #reallife #God #Philosophy #Logic #Love

Ever felt like you’re caught between worlds, not fully fitting in anywhere? … Does following Jesus impact your sense of identity, love, and self-worth? And if so, is that separate from the perceptions of others? Jesus said He came to seek and save tthe lost. What does that mean for the girl who feels lost? Listen to this week's episode introducing Lizzy to hear more of her story. I absolutely love Lizzy's honesty and candid questions. It's rare and beautiful. And I'm grateful for the opportunity to start exploring some of the questions and topics she brought up in this first conversation. . . . #Christianity #Apologetics #Jesus #Faith #life #Bible #Gospel #Evangelism #FindingSomethingREAL #Podcasts #reallife #God

Have you ever felt like you're just not sure where you fit in? Or on the outside looking in? Where do you go to be included? I loved Lizzy being so honest about some of this because I know feeling out of place is something many of us struggle with at times. We all desire to be deeply loved and accepted. I'm looking forward to sharing more conversations with Lizzy and other guests where we touch on this topic again and again...

Understanding what you believe and why is important. And being able to communicate the hope you have in Christ from a place of love and respect is important. A lot of people when questioned about religious beliefs, will give stories of personal experiences and feelings. But why do you believe Christianity is true- not just true for you, but true for anyone? Do you have more than your personal experience to back your worldview up? Would you know how to respond to a friend asking faith questions? . . . #Christianity #Apologetics #Jesus #Faith #life #Bible #Gospel #Evangelism #FindingSomethingREAL #Podcasts #RealLife #God

Are you looking for something REAL?

Do you sometimes feel confused about what matters? Do you ever stay up at night, wondering if there’s more? Do you ever find yourself having a “perfect” day and afterwards wondering why it just didn’t feel like enough? In this world full of different voices yelling for your attention- telling you what to go after- whether it be success, beauty, the perfect partner, social media followers, or the dream vacation- have you found something REAL?

Jesus Christ offers all of us something REAL. And I’ll be honest. I’ve been a Christ-follower for most of my life and I’m still on a daily journey of remembering where I can find what really matters- where Restoration, Eternity, Authenticity, and Love is actually found.

My hope in writing, speaking, and podcasting is to share with the one who is still seeking and for the one who maybe like me, sometimes struggles. This is a safe and grace-filled faith journey. I hope you’ll bring along a friend who also needs something more- especially one who’s not so sure where to find it- and join friends and me as we discover what makes Jesus Christ unique and so worth pursuing.
