Where do we go for answers during periods of doubt? Where we look for answers matters, and sometimes we create more doubt by looking to the wrong places for answers. Thomas, one of the 12 apostles, is known for his doubt. However, there are some very practical themes we can highlight and learn from Doubting Thomas and from how God delivered truth to him.

In any and every situation, you can seek to find the good or seek to find the bad. Which do you usually default to seeking? As Christians, we want to make sure our vision is not obstructed. If you are on edge or find yourself worrying or anxious about anything, there is a great chance you need to check your vision in life.

The social media activity and presence of a Christian should look different from the average person's. What made you like or love that post on social media? Are you conscious of what you're showing others through what you favor on social media? Although the Bible never mentions the most popular social media outlets by name, it definitely gives us guidance and wisdom in ways we need to be more aware of.

Do you get annoyed when you hear about someone wasting a second or third chance? The Bible is full of second-chance stories. How many chances have you been given? Do you ever worry that you might run out of chances? This episode shows that when God gives second chances, it's different from when we do the same thing.

If you had the fate of someone's life in your hands or had to make a decision that went against what everyone wanted, could you do it? Making decisions can be draining. Making tough decisions is even more draining. There are some people in the Bible we can definitely learn from when it comes to making decisions. This episode looks at the good, the bad, and the commonalities we often share when it comes to making hard decisions.

Can a Christian still represent God if culture or traditions are mixed in? There are a few things you always need to keep in mind so you can be aware of what the world's intention is. C.L. takes a look at some traditions in our culture and brings to light some ways you can enjoy and challenge what is best for you.

Here's a personal favorite episode from C.L. that first ran in November 2022. Enjoy while we're on break!
Another passage from Galatians 6 that C.L. has a tattoo of is a reminder to stop planting garbage. Destruction comes when we plant the wrongs things and our focus is in the wrong place. Weeds can grow almost anywhere; and especially in our culture, they will be prevalent. Godly growth takes time and intentionality.

While we're on a short break, here's another of C.L.'s memorable episodes! This episode originally ran in December 2021.
Being a good friend takes a unique understanding of HOW, especially since some don't even want a friend—they want a person they can control and who allows them to feel more comfortable in being wrong. C.L. breaks down the special responsibility that goes with being a Christian friend.
CL mentioned Episode 69, "We're Friends, Right? . . ." Here's the Apple Podcasts version, https://bit.ly/4agmYeI, and the Spotify version, https://bit.ly/3RAQdkV. Or, you can scroll through this feed to 8/16/22.

Too often those who are deemed as strong get overlooked and don't have many places to turn to when they are dealing with a lot. Who counsels the counselor? If you are often leaned on, you have to know how to recharge. If you want to be stronger, take a look at how the strongest person ever, Jesus, continuously and intentionally became stronger. (This episode originally ran January 2023).

It's one thing to tell someone you're a Christian; it's another thing when someone notices that you are different (in a positive way). Are you a blessing? What are the signs or symbols of a Christian? There are distinct trademarks that Christians are empowered to display that are often overlooked. This episode explores those distinct trademarks.

Chasing happiness can have you bouncing from one thing to another. How strong is your desire to be happy? The book of Philippians has some outstanding lessons and shows us there is something greater than happiness. Believe it or not, we as Christians can see why happiness is overrated and where to find something greater than worldly happiness.

Observing different types of conversations is interesting. Sometimes people talk too much, and others want to avoid talking to them. Sometimes people seem as if they don't know what to say at all. How good do you think you are at conversing? This episode analyzes Jesus' conversational approach and considers an exchange that he had with an unlikely person. This conversation can help you notice some things about yourself.

Life is like a movie, and the main character in your life is none other than you. How much should you focus on yourself and embrace the mentality that you are the main character? And what should that look like? What script are you looking at? Who is the director of your life? However you may answer, don't forget about the actual star character in your life who is real and special.

Can the devil read minds? The greatest liar, accuser, and fraud is a powerful enemy we should be aware of, but how far does his power extend? There are some weapons and traps he uses that we often overlook but shouldn't. Here's the real question that has to be addressed: Is the devil on the same level as our God?

Do you know what qualifies or disqualifies someone from being a pastor? "A pastor is to be above reproach." What does this mean? Is someone disqualified from being a pastor if they've had a crazy past, gotten a divorce, or have a wild family? Our culture has opinions, messages, and feelings on who should be a pastor, but we have to look at God's Word to give us the truth. This episode looks at some biblical truths and cultural untruths around the qualifications for being a pastor. This month is Pastor Appreciation Month, and we thank God for the awesome leaders we have in these positions.

Who doesn't love good customer service that makes them feel welcome and appreciated? In fact, we often choose a church based on how well it can serve us. But should Christians have the customer service mentality when it comes to church? What other aspects of a good church might we be missing if we only choose based on how it can serve us? What about how we can serve the church?

You don't have to be a man to appreciate this episode, but think about what characteristics you think make a man. What does a REAL man look like? There are some characteristics and traits that are up for debate. Regardless of that, a Christian man should have characteristics that are different from a "worldly" man. Of course, we can always learn something from the most manly man ever—Jesus.

The apostle Paul was known for sending letters to churches and people. His letters called them out, encouraged them, and spoke on cultural issues. Some have said that America could use a letter from Paul reminding us of a few things. What do you think Paul would say to the churches in America and to people who claim to be Christians? This episode takes a guess at what Paul may have said to America based off what he wrote to other churches and people.

Don't let your faults define you. Don't try to justify your wrongs. Instead of acting like your negative behaviors, responses, and choices don't exist, be aware of how they can be silently killing you. This doesn't have to be the case and should NOT happen to any follower of Christ no matter how bad or ugly the crime or offense was. There is a compelling reason we can thrive as Christians despite our failures, traumas, and appalling actions, and it starts with our God and Savior.

The media would rather publicize something other than Jesus. As Christians, should we follow this trend? If we want to get rid of our blindness and see the truth, we will need to take lessons from a beggar who knew keeping it low key was not the answer to his problems. Striving for spiritual growth along with finding confidence in the message proclaimed in the Bible gives us the confidence to move away from low key.

Being fueled by our feelings can lead us astray. Feelings are a part of life, and it's beneficial to be in tune with them properly. But for Christians, there is something we can be inspired by that is more trustworthy than our feelings. This episode examines how Jesus dealt with situations that would have us very much in our feelings.

The world has changed the name of certain sins to try and make them seem like they are not sins. Switching names is a tactic used to confuse and manipulate people to act a certain way. Watch what others try to call those who want to represent Christian living. Even Jesus had to deal with people trying to call him something he was not.

The most important book a person can read is the Bible. There are some major reasons why people should read scripture and not just be content with letting someone else tell them what the Bible actually says. There are some places anyone can start when it comes to reading the Bible. And even if you feel like you know the Bible pretty well, there are still reasons you'd want to read God's Word.

"Build it how you want" is something we strive to do in our culture. We even use this philosophy with whom we worship and trust. But building a god doesn't make our lives better; it only rejects the God who cares and has sacrificed for us like no other.

What we take pride in can make or break us. Misplaced pride or too much of pride lead to destruction. Properly-placed pride leads to blessings. There are mixed messages when it comes to this word. Let's take a look at where our pride should be placed and why.

The worst kind of friend is one who is really an undercover enemy. A person may be a friend in one aspect and an enemy in another, but how do you distinguish the difference? We have to beware of our greatest frenemy. Likewise, we have to be thankful for our greatest Friend, who has undoubtedly proven his dedication to us.

Is it OK to build a relationship on lies? Well, I guess it depends, because people are now being pressured to call a man a woman and vice versa if that's what a person wants. Culture wants to dictate our feelings and attitudes and will go to great lengths to do this. There are some movements that are geared toward making us allies with the wrong groups and distancing us from our most valuable and important relationship. God wants to dictate our feelings and attitudes as well, and this episode reminds us of the great lengths that he went through for us all.

LGBTQ+ Pride Month is here. This group has done an effective job of gaining more rights, standing proud for what they believe in, and pushing their agenda. This has gone so far that many people do not want to be called homophobic. At the same time, more and more groups and agendas are trying to get rid of Christ and the gospel. Believe it or not, there's something people should fear more than being called homophobic, and that is being Christphobic.

The most famous people in our world today don't compare to the most famous person of all time. Who is the most famous person of all time and why? He's not just someone Christians think of. Even other big-time influencers can't deny his impact and influence. See what the most famous person ever offers that can't be matched by anyone else.

In today's world, should we be quiet about our allegiance to Christ? Is it easy for others to see that we are followers of Jesus? Some of us are quiet about being Christian—we're "in-the-closet Christians" because we don't want to "offend" anyone or be canceled, even though we may say or think we've been hiding in the closet for legit reasons. Let's take a real look at if you've been an in-the-closet Christian.

Philippians 4:13 is a popular passage: "I can do all things through him who strengthens me." But it's also an often misunderstood passage and ends up being misused, leading many to rely on themselves. To understand, we need to focus on who is meant by "him" in the passage. And you might be surprised to learn where the biblical author was when he wrote this sentence and why he was so content.

How do you know if something is a description or a prescription? This can be confusing to decipher in the Bible. But believe it or not, most people determine if it's prescription or description based off a lack of understanding or a hope to do something that actually goes against God's Word. The Bible tells us what is good and what is bad, but we have to actually look at what it says to confirm these facts.

A phrase used by late rapper Tupac Shakur has had a unique meaning in our culture: "only God can judge me." Uppity, judgmental people rub so many the wrong way, but as Christians are we supposed to judge? God is the ulitmate Judge, and there are many passages in the Bible that discuss judging, rebuking, and correcting others. Evaluate how true or false that phrase should be in a Christian's life.

When we listen, it ultimately comes down to two reasons. Pinpointing WHY we listen is crucial to understanding ourselves and others. We can all become better listeners by examining how Jesus listened and modeling his approach. In this episode, find out which type of listener you are!

There are always people in our lives trying to influence us outside of God's will. Women's History Month helps remind us to have our focus in the correct place. There are two low profile women in the Bible who teach us some valuable lessons we must apply. Whether you are a man or a woman, an allegiance to God surpasses any other option.

How do you make someone pay attention to what you're telling or showing them? You do something to create an interest. The desire to create content and having the tools to do that is at an all-time high. There is so much stuff out there. And especially for those trying to make a name for themselves and capture people's attention, it's hard to navigate through a gate that is small.

Which details or key facts a person decides to tell in a story matter a great deal. The way America decided to tell the story of how the country was built and discovered would be deemed as being "whitewashed." The final episode in this four-part series for Black History Month examines how the recording of American history compares to God's Word and its history—there are glaring differences.

One of the beefs with Christianity is that some feel as though ONLY European fingerprints are all over today's version of Christianity and that only white reformers and theologians have a say. Should Martin Luther, who happened to be of European descent, receive as much credit as he does? This episode explores and challenges the idea that Europe is the only influence for Christianity. Spoiler alert: It's not! There's something we all need to be aware of that we receive credit for.

Take a guess on which of Jesus' disciples acted two-faced. We're not that different from this two-faced disciple, because there are pressures we are confronted with from our culture, our community, and our pride. This episode in the four-part series looks at the stresses a person faces as well as the ways to combat becoming two-faced, prejudice, or racist.

This is the first in a four-part series in honor of Black History Month. Let's not shy away from this but use God's Word to reflect, challenge, convict, and liberate us when needed. No matter our race or ethnicity, there are some major lessons to learn from America's history. Be leery: we do not repeat history by commission or omission. We should not only look at American history but also at the Bible. The problems we face are oftentimes a lot closer and intimate than we may realize.

Social media has made it even more apparent that we are fascinated with highlights. We can't just blame it on this era though, because it's something that has always intrigued our human nature. It's time to check ourselves to make sure we are not coveting or envying; this would make us undercover haters. The highlights aren't going anywhere, but we can get a better grasp of how to handle them by looking at a young man in the Bible.

Family over everything is a motto many of us are taught to follow, but what if our family members are wrong? Do we have to side with them? To add to this, picking a side isn't always easy—especially when it goes against the culture or against the majority. The Bible has some examples of both—of those who picked incorrectly and correctly. The idea that a person has to pick Christ is examined, and we look at who really does the picking.

Too often those who are deemed as strong get overlooked and don't have many places to turn to when they are dealing with a lot. Who counsels the counselor? If you are often leaned on, you have to know how to recharge. If you want to be stronger, take a look at how the strongest person ever, Jesus, continuously and intentionally became stronger.

New Year's resolutions are built on expectations, and expectations change everything. Ever seen someone who holds everyone else to the fire but then makes excuse after excuse for themselves? Or how about those who just have no clue what "good" actually is? Both these thought processes ingrain our minds from time to time. The Bible has some great lessons on what to expect from ourselves and shows us what our expectations should be.

There is a good amount of frustration, distrust, and misunderstanding surrounding the Bible. The Bible has some very intriguing warnings and insights though. There are some common reasons people don't trust the Bible that C.L. addresses. Have you ever put the Bible to the test and actually read it so you can't be manipulated, tricked, and/or lied to? We put so many other things to the test, but for some reason, we don't do this with the Bible and wrestle with what is actually true.

"You need to be a leader!" is a message we hear all the time in our culture. Lots of people don't even know when to lead or when to take a back seat. All of us have different roles and different hats we wear. As you listen to this episode, evaluate your ability to handle these different roles by looking at some people in the Bible who thrived and struggled with their leadership and sidekick roles. You'll quickly realize that everyone can't be Batman and there are times each of us needs to take a different role.

Another passage from Galatians 6 that C.L. has a tattoo of is a reminder to stop planting garbage. Destruction comes when we plant the wrongs things and our focus is in the wrong place.

How much do you love things of this world? What do you love about this world? Our culture promotes and encourages us to become "worldly." Not falling prey to that concept is so important to C.L. that he has a Bible verse tattooed on him that focuses on not showing love to the wrong things. Listen to why he is leery about falling in love with something most are not even concerned about. This is the first of a three-part series dissecting the Bible verses C.L. has tattooed on his arm.

There are many reasons why people don't give the Bible a chance. One reason is that their first encounter with the Word of God is not with actual Scripture but with those who claim to follow Jesus and his teachings in the Bible. If someone interacted or looked at you, would they see the Bible in you? This episode explores why some may or may not view you as a Christian.

What's the price you're willing to pay in order to hear a sermon that relates to you and keeps your attention the entire time? C.L. gathers information from spiritual leaders of different backgrounds and denominations to see how they would respond to a person who thinks the sermons are boring and unrelatable. C.L. has noticed that pastors rarely recommend other spiritual leaders for their members to listen to. Why is that? This episode looks at the reason why.

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I wouldn't mind if this person burned in hell"? The recent Netflix series on a serial killer has made this a talked-about topic. It's easy to feel like you are a lot better than a serial killer, but there is a monster inside all of us. Even Jeffrey Dahmer wondered if God could forgive him. Is there such a thing as too much grace?

How self-aware are you as an individual? Self-awareness may be the greatest characteristic people lack today. It's to the point where some people are flat-out delusional. In our era of "You can be anyting you want to be!" and "You are enough!" it's tough to maintain a healthy balance of confidence and acceptance of our shortcomings. This episode explores how you can keep from being delusional.

Our culture consistently tells us to pursue happiness. There is a godly happiness, and then there is a worldly happiness. We often get the pursuit of pleasure mixed up with the pursuit of happiness. There's a noticeable difference in earthly happiness and godly happiness; godly happiness is a fruit of the Spirit that is noticeable especially in difficult situations.

The American Dream is all about going from rags to riches. The story of Joseph in the Bible is one of those feel-good narratives we love becaue he ends up being wealthy and prosperous despite some major hardships. Moses, on the other hand, lost his royalty and ended up being blessed in other ways—he went from riches to rags. Which life would you rather have when comparing these two men?

Too many people answer based off their past, when in reality God has shown he can take any type of past or background and use it for his glory. This episode dives into the fact that although we are all broken, that is not our final fate or form.

This is the final episode in our three-part series on the Parable of the Lost Son, which is found in the book of Luke. The father's love is unique and pretty countercultural based off how the sons treated him and wanted from him. We at times are like one or both of the sons. However, the love of the father can change lives and bless us in a way that the world wants us to overlook.

This era is about self-discovery, freedom, and living it up; but maybe that's nothing new. In the parable of the lost son, there is a younger, wild brother who any of us can relate to because who doesn't want to have fun and enjoy life? We all fall, but how to get up and what we turn to is everything. This is the second episode in our three-part series that looks at the distinct difference in "free spirit" life and Christianity. And once wild doesn't mean always wild.

If you view yourself as a pretty good person and believe you have a high moral standard, there are some dangers you could be susceptible to. How you view others and how you view God are keys to being the brother and sister whom God intended you to be. There's really only one true obedient brother.

Friends should be able to talk about the most important things in life; our Christian brothers and sisters should be in this category of friends. For whatever reason, we at times avoid discussing God's Word with our friends. Should talking about God be a point of emphasis with our friends even if we know we believe the same thing? Comfortability plays a factor, and there are ways we can all become more comfortable talking about God and his truths in "friendly settings."

"They mention this sin but don't mention that sin." Do some avoid speaking about certain sins because they're afraid, or is there a good reason not to bring up that sin?

This is the second episode of a three-part series exploring God's nonmicrowaved truth of how to have the most enjoyable sex life.

Although all Christians have the Spirit of God, there are a good number of Christians who would say they are not led by the Spirit. Why is that?

The second episode of this two-part series explores how our culture gets caught up on status. This is due to men who have abused power and women who resent roles. There are several women in the Bible who were outstanding leaders in their roles AND offered Christ-like service in their positions—something for any man or woman to admire and take notes from.

In honor of Women's History Month, how can we not look at women in the Bible?! Some people have a beef with the Bible and feel women never get credit for making an impact. But how does God view women, and how did he use women to carry out his will?

"I need a break" is a phrase you might find yourself saying more often than not. But how do you rest properly? Even God took a day off from creating the world in six days, so there's something to say about resting. However, there are a few things God wants us to remember that we often forget to associate with work AND rest.

Different groups of people can use the same phrase, yet each group can say it means something completely different to them. Some of this confusion is created by secret design, and some of this is the result of empathy, seeking absolute truth, and actually listening. The devil's agenda is to divide and put us at odds with each other. Are you aware of the hidden agendas being pushed on you?
This is the final episode in C.L.'s month-long series looking at race.

In our culture we are very quick to give lables and titles to things and people to a fault. Information isn't about being accurate anymore, it's about being first and sharing whatever comes to your mind. It's safe to assume most bad things that happens to a minority, are because of poor choices and decisions—not necessarily. So does that mean that if something bad happens to a minority, it was racist—not necessarily.

However, we should not forget to examine and study our spiritual heavenly Father too and see what we've inherited from him.

Don't put it past yourself . . . you are capable of greatness. BUT you are also capable of evil. Understanding the "why" to both helps us move wisely. Do you realize what you are capable of, or are you avoiding some of the evidence?

What you put your pride in matters. Pride can make a person deny needing what they need most, or pride can give hope and confidence against anything.

Have you ever found yourself saying, "I just want to be comfortable in life"? Comfort doesn't have a price tag next to it in most cases, but you'll be surprised by what we sometimes are willing to pay. In the same light, we have to look at what Jesus was willing to pay to make us eternally comfortable.

What offends you, and why? Does our culture promote being offended? Jesus came off as offensive to some, but his "offense" was warranted and needed. Offend like Jesus does, and know there is a difference in having something exposed compared to having something revealed.

Does the church care more about your money or more about your spiritual well-being? Money can be a difficult topic of discussion, especially inside the walls of a church, even though it's a topic the Bible and Jesus don't avoid. The real question we all face is this: Is the church being greedy or am I?

How do you know what wave you should be riding? The amount of support for something doesn't make it right or wrong. Right is right, and wrong is wrong. However, what wave you should be riding is something you can figure out.

Who and why someone should be cancelled is looked at from the perspective of a person who sounds and thinks like the average human being. Is this person’s thought process and reason correct? That's the real question and something we all struggle with.
