FOMO, flaking, fickle friends. Why is it so hard for people to stay committed to things? Whether is be relationships, work, or showing up to social events, getting commitments from people (or committing ourselves) seems to be a challenge for most. Micah and Nathan take a look at Proverbs 16:3 and other verses to help gain a better understanding for the importance of honoring your word.

Micah and Nathan are joined by Dr. Sam Storms; a self-proclaimed "Amillennial, Calvinistic, charismatic, credo-baptistic, complementarian, Christian Hedonist who loves his wife of 50 years, his two daughters, his four grandchildren, books, baseball, movies, and all things Oklahoma University." While some of those labels seem contradictory on the surface, Dr. Storms provides helpful context and Biblical support for his beliefs. In this episode, the discussion shifts to focus on Christian Hedonism and what "enjoying God" looks like on a practical basis.

The boys continue the GotS series and discuss discernment, knowledge, and wisdom - how they intersect and what's different about each of them. Here is a list of helpful verses for each gift: Wisdom: Psalm 111:10 James 3:13-18 1 Corinthians 1:17-31 Colossians 1:9-10 Discernment: 1 John 4:1 Ephesian 4:29 Proverbs 10:21 Proverbs 15:1 Knowledge: 1 Corinthians 12:8 1 Corinthians 1:4-7

This week, Nathan and Micah take a brief intermission from the Gifts of the Spirit to discuss levels of friendship and boundaries. Does the Bible actually shed any light on this topic? What are some practical tools we can utilize to make sure the people closest to us receive appropriate access to our lives? These questions and more get tackled in this week's episode.

After a multi-month hiatus, the boys are back. This time, Micah and Nathan continue the Gifts of the Spirit conversation with a fun topic: tongues. This gift is one of the "weird ones." Hopefully, by taking a look at what scripture says and sharing some personal experiences, some wrong ways of thinking can be dispelled. The goal is not the gift; the goal is relationship with the Father, edification of the church, and better relationship with others.

Prophecy - our first stop in working through the gifts of the Spirit. Micah and Nate peel back some of the mystery of this topic and jump right into 1 Corinthians 14 to better understand the prophetic gifting. How can I earnestly pursue this form of encouragement for others? Let's find out together!

Talking today about the gifts of the Spirit. Are they still active, or is John MacArthur right? Nate and Micah talk about the biblical basis behind the gifts and the importance of pursuing them.

Micah and Nate are joined by their friend, Laura Gray, who is a 2nd year PhD student studying Environmental Engineering at the University of Illinois to discuss what the Bible says about caring for the world around us. Why should I care about conservation? What are we actually trying to work towards? What are some things that I can do today to do my part? Listen to this pod and find out!

Can you be a Christian and read Harry Potter? Nate and Micah talk about media consumption and what the Bible actually says about the spiritual realm. If there is a storyline of redemption, is that reason enough to justify the introduction of mysticism? Let's find out!

Can there really be too much of a good thing? Nathan and Micah discuss overindulgence and how to establish clear, healthy boundaries.
