Anything But Quiet Time with Rachelle & Carder

Why do Ezekiel's temple measurements seem "off" with what gets rebuilt and how does his vision share hope and life to those outside of the temple walls? Rachelle talks about that and Carder speaks into: "if Jesus wasn't Who He said," then his message wouldn't be worth following.

Maybe you've grown up hearing God is "3 in 1", but how exactly does that work? We dive deep into how it works (as best we can), along with the scripture that discusses this doctrine, even though the word "trinity" isn't actually in the Bible.

Can a truly bad person receive the grace of Jesus? Even if it's at the end of their life? We discuss, with Rachelle sharing the story of an awful person on his death bed. 

If you've every asked, "Uhhh.... what?" after reading something in the Bible, specifically the parables of Jesus: we cover a couple of things to keep in mind and make it applicable to us today! 

With a crazy story about parents threatening people because of prom, we talk about the fine line between defending your kids and letting them learn a life lesson. Also, if a grandma approves of something sinful: does that make it ok?

This week we start with a comment from a listener who asks a difficult but important question: how do you know when someone is a real Christian? And what do you do if they claim to be one, but they don't seem to live like it?

This week we discuss motivation being a huge factor when it comes to doing the right thing, especially if we didn't do the right thing in the first place. Plus a story where Carder got yelled at in the restaurant he was eating at. But a good life lesson did come of it.

John the Baptist told the teachers of the day that they aren't getting into heaven based on their reputation. We discuss how that can be a temptation based on our church attendance or perceived goodness. We also hear a powerful story of how a a mom in an abusive relationship was led to Jesus by her young daughter. 

A great discussion with our radio show producer Reyna about how prison has impacted her life. Her dad went there when she was young, and now it's come full circle: she goes back into prisons to sing and share her story with inmates.

This week we discuss different views on the Bible. From Christians differing on age old questions, to even LDS/Mormons and differences in their views on the Bible. One thing is clear: we have to try to understand what the context is, and never assume what it means.

We discuss that hard to answer question: is our life our own, or has God pre-planned every detail? Or perhaps there is a mixture of God's plan and my free will?

Carder has an anti resolution inspired by Jesus' words. Instead of a goal, it's just about doing something. Rachelle shares a story to go along with that where her and strangers teamed up do something so simple, yet so meaningful. 

A good reminder for the "boring" parts of scripture: that when you step back and look at the bigger picture, you see how beautiful it is. We also address how some can make it seem like there is secret knowledge we are "missing out on". 

We discuss a new phenomenon called "quiet quitting" your family. Is this Biblical, or even healthy? Rachelle recalls a great childhood memory that's a life lesson for being patient and waiting on God.
