The Love & Purity Podcast

Called to be Blameless with Aaron and Brayden

  ^{There is a t-shirt that has gone around Christian circles that says "forgiven, not perfect".  While I get what is being communicated that we absolutely need the forgiveness of God it also seems to reflect an overall low view of our call to pursue holiness.} 

^{There are people in the Bible that are referred to as being blameless like Noah, Job and Zechariah. Are you seeking to be blameless? Or are you going with the cultural pressure to just lower your standards and live half heartedly for God?}

^{Be encouraged to go against the grain and be what God has called you to be as described in the following verse.}

 Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love (Eph 1:4)

The Shemas Connection to the Greatest Commandments with Brayden and Boaz

Continuing the theme of love we are looking at Mark 12 that connects the Shema with the 1st and 2nd commandment.  Be encouraged to hear the truth and live a life of love for God and those around you!

Korban - How Sacrifice and Being Close are Connected with Brayden and Aaron

 A patriot for his country, a martyr for his faith or believers seeking to love those around them with the love of Yeshua...... all of these are born out of sacrifice.  As we discuss in this podcast it is sacrifice that brings the heart close and motivates it to love in extravagant ways.  For God so loved the world that He GAVE! Loves gives and is willing to sacrifice no matter the cost! 

Protesting Consumer Christianity with Mack Waller

Mack challenges believers to go all the way in pursuing the Kingdom of God!  Let's not be those who just sit back as consumers and do nothing to bring change to this needy world.                                                                                         In this episode Mack shares why he started the pocket Bible challenge.  Since starting 150 people have signed up to carry pocket bibles with them and read through a one year Bible reading program.  It is great to have something better than an Iphone to turn to when you have free time in the day!  

Highlights from Harp and Farm with Aaron Christenson

Aaron Christenson was with us for 3 months last year for Harp and Farm.  In this episode he shares some of the highlights of being in the program his favorite being that he met Abby who is now his wife.  

The Right Glasses for Difficult Passages with Brayden and Tali Waller

There are a handful of seeming misquotes in the New Testament that someone who has no cultural understanding of the scriptures could be thrown off by. Join us as we take a look at these passages and seek to bring clarity. We pray you are blessed! 

The Jewishness of the New Testament with Brayden and Tali Waller

  As a young believer it came as a surprise to me that the new testament has many text that are connected to traditional Judaism. This realization gave me a new perspective of the world in which the New Testament was written. In this podcast we explore these passages and try to make sense of what a healthy approach to tradition looks like. In the scriptures we see some traditions condemned as undermining the Bible while others are boldly practiced. May you be strengthened to walk out your faith in a way that impacts generations to come!

The Call to Follow

Yeshua called people who were going about their daily lives to do something radically simple.  Follow Him.  Not all chose to follow but those who did found a joy that even martyrdom could not quench.   In the complexities of life sometimes we lose touch with the basic call to follow our shepherd.  Be encouraged to follow the shepherd wherever He leads.  

Fighting Compromise

In the prophet Hosea God makes a revealing observation of His people.  He says "My people are bent on backsliding".  Knowing that we as humans have this tendency to backslide helps us to realize our need to be proactive in staying spiritually strong.  In this podcast we go into how we as believers can fight back on the plague of compromise.
