In this week's episode, Aaron sits down with Dr. Jason Carter the Dean of the the Robbins College of Health and Human Sciences at Baylor University in Waco, TX. Jason is a former member of Saints Peter and Paul in Houghton, MI and former faculty member at Michigan Tech.

Jason's primary field of expertise is as a sleep researcher. In this conversation, Aaron and Jason discuss all things sleep as it relates to our existence as humans, but even more so as it relates to us as Christian people.

The Bible is full of passages about sleep, rest, etc. It is built into the fabric of our lives and the rhythm that God has created. We even spend 1/3 of our lives asleep! But, why? What's going on when we sleep?

We hope that, as always, you'll find something in this conversation that will inspire you to start another conversation with someone else.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode, Pastor Kevin sits down with Lauren Stigers to talk about a specific part of God's creative activity on the 5th day: fish!

Did you know that there are over 70 Bible Verses that reference fish? Did you know that the early church used the image of a fish to represent their faith - - like we often do with the cross? What's up with fish?!

Listen as Lauren shares her experience in the field of "ichthyology" (the study of fish), and how she has come to integrate her faith in her particular line of work.

As always, we hope you enjoy it.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are having a conversation about the 3rd day of creation and how God brought about the land from the waters and filled the land with vegetation. As part of this conversation, they discuss how the Ancient Israelites pictured the earth as a flat disc shape. Why would they have that perspective, and does it matter for what we believe today?

This conversation centers around the what we believe about our Creator God and this creation that we live in, and are part of.

We hope you hear something in this conversation that inspires you to start another conversation with someone else.

As always, we hope you enjoy it.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about the first day of creation. For the next couple weeks, we'll be discussing Genesis 1 as we consider the reality that what we believe about creation affects what we believe about Christ and ourselves.

In this first conversation regarding creation, we're discussing light. Light is all around us. In our modern age, we're pretty good at fighting the darkness with our energy efficient LEDs. And yet, darkness is still real. It's all around us. Literally and figuratively. So is light.

Listen to the guys as they discuss light and all its implications throughout Scripture and our lives.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are discussing the apocalypse of Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:1). Many people associate apocalypse with end of the world, cataclysmic destruction, but actually the word apocalypse is the same word as revelation. It means to unveil.

In this final conversation on the end times the guys want to remind the listener that the return of Jesus Christ is good news. For those who are in Jesus Christ, we look forward to the day of Christ's return. It is not fear or dread or worry. We don't need to interpret the signs. Stay focused on Jesus and be about His work until the day of His return.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode Aaron and Kevin have a conversation about the Millennium. When you start paying attention to the different "end times" preachers and books, the concept of the millennium plays a big role in their doctrine. The idea comes from Revelation 20 which talks about a 1000 year reign. Millennium means "1000" and that's where the whole idea gets its origin.

BUT - what does the Bible really say about this? Is Jesus really going to reign in the city of Jerusalem in the nation of Israel (where it stands today) for a literal 1000 years before he restores all things and brings about the new creation? Or, 1000 years a symbolic number like all of the other symbolic ideas throughout the Book of Revelation?

We follow the orthodox/historical reading of the Bible which reads 1000 years as a symbolic number describing Jesus' CURRENT ruling and reigning at the right hand of God the Father.

We hope you listen closely to this conversation as you, too, are part of God's ruling and reigning people even this day.

We hope you enjoy it!

In this week's episode Aaron and Kevin are talking about Armageddon. And, we're not just talking about the 1998 movie featuring Bruce Willis. Although, to say it doesn't get mentioned would be a lie. But, what is Armageddon? Where does this idea come from? Is it Biblical?

This conversation will ground us in the Scriptural reality that battles are real. Armageddon is a battle site. And every battle on this earth is a reminder that there is evil and we would like evil to end. The promise of Armageddon is the promise that Christ is victorious over every evil. And his victory is ours. It is ours now, and it will be fully realized when he returns in triumph.

We hope you enjoy this conversation.

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin open up a conversation about the Book of Revelation. It's quite popular in our culture to discuss the end times. Most people will throw around ideas about wars, and natural disasters. You'll see movies and books about the apocalypse or armageddon. But, where do these ideas come from? And, what does having an appropriate view of the end mean for my life now?

In this conversation, Aaron and Kevin discuss that the end of death means that we have eternal life now.

We hope that you'll hear something in this conversation that will inspire you to start another conversation with someone else about the hope that is ours in Jesus Christ!

We hope you enjoy it!
