Episodes
On this episode, Kyle and Tom are joined by Andrew Coats as they discuss recent rulings in the state of Alabama concerning embryos created via IVF.
IVF is a process that has allowed many couples desiring to be parents to fulfill that desire. The technology and science behind it is spectacular. So the question: are we approaching it with the right care? Are we taking it as seriously as it deserves with the right regards to respon...
On this episode, Kyle and Tom are joined by LWBC youth pastor Ryan Reeves to discuss the topic of abortion and how we as Christians should approach this subject, specifically in regards to how we deal with those who have had abortions, those considering it, and why our society has normalized this atrocity. As Christians we believe that life begins at conception and that all life should be protected as an image bearer of God.
But ho...
On this episode, Kyle and Tom welcome guest Gracie Johnson to discuss the challenges of being a Christian in the college world.
Statistics show that 50%-80% of professing Christian young adults abandon their faith during their time at institutions of higher education. How as Christians can we set our students up for success, not just to endure and strengthen our faith in college, but to be salt and light to world so in need? How ca...
On this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss the 2nd commandment - Thou shalt not make any graven image.
Is this a repeat or furtherance of the first commandment? Is it a standalone? What does it mean?
We have a habit of trying to fit God in a box of our own design, and in doing so we often make a "graven image" of what we think he's like. Tune in as we try to adjust our thinking on this topic.
In this episode, Kyle and Tom discuss a Book by Gregory Koukl on how we can share the gospel.
Apologetics aren't just about defending our views and beliefs, we need a plan, we need tactics. Gregory Koukl does a great job of presenting some valid options for how we can more effectively share Jesus with the people we meet and the people we know.

On this episode, Kyle and Tom talk to Ty Hirsch. Ty shares his testimony and how God has shaped him to be used in ministry.
There are struggles in life. There are dark times. God is there in all situations. He works to his good. He has great plans and wants to use each and every one of us to his glory. He wants and deserves the glory in every valley and mountaintop season. It is on those mountaintops we celebrate his presence in e...
On this episode, Kyle and Tom are joined once again by Zac and Dan to discuss biblical stewardship. So much more than just our finances, we are stewards of ALL God has given us.
But what we do with our finances is a good indicator of where our heart is at.
In our first new episode after the break, Kyle, Tom and Brice ring in the new year with what may be an obvious topic - New Year's resolutions and goals.
Should we make them? Are they effective? Can we utilize them to renew focus, refresh commitments to God and his service? Regardless of what 2023 may have looked like for us spiritually, we may have struggled, failed or grown exponentially. No matter what 2023 was like, it is a new...
Merry Christmas!! As a gift from the podcast team, Tom reads the Christmas Story from Luke 2.

Can we be like the shepherds and proclaim our Savior to the world?
On this episode - Kyle and Brice are joined with Pastor Zach Hatton and Associate Pastor Daniel Coffman to discuss the name Baptist.
Is it ok to be just a church? Why is it so important how we identify our faith? Should we follow the trend of dropping denominational identifiers?
Isn't it just a name?

On this episode, Kyle, Tom and Brice have some first time guest in to talk about homeschooling.
Homeschooling has to be a choice you make as a family. At the end of the day, as parents we are responsible for the discipleship of our children. That may take different forms for different families, there isn't a one-size-fits-all silver bullet for the answer.
Guard your children's hearts, and do it according to the leading of the Holy ...

In this episode, Kyle, Tom and Brice sit with one of LWBC's deacons, Andrew Coats, as he shares his testimony.
God shows up in the tragedies in our lives as the Healer, sometimes not just of our body, but our spirit also. Sometimes our spirit in lieu of our body.
When we allow our lives to be directed according to his will, you'd be amazed what he can do to make us fit for service where we were once broken. Though the path is not ...
