UpLift

How do you proclaim what faith is to someone? What do we do when God doesn't answer our prayers or seemingly don't give us what we feel He should be giving. What if we dot the I's and cross the T's? What about grace and how does it fit in? Chad and Phil sit down to discuss this and more in this episode.

Is It easy or hard to know God? We start out with that loaded question to talk about how easy God makes it for us to know Him, but also we talk about how hard we often make it. We turn it into a discussion on the love of God. Love is a kingdom principle and all of the law and prophets hang on it. So we don't really come up with a good solution but we have fun talking about it.

Is it the Demons, The Flesh, or something else that causes us to give into temptation? What is the difference. We dive into that tonight but agree in most cases, it was not the devil that made you do it.

Does God allow us to be tested. This question can be answered many ways and some of those ways can make God look bad or make Him look divine. It is one that should be approached reverently but delicately and it is the question we tackle in this episode. James 1 and Romans 5 make it pretty clear that our faith will be tested, but it's the outcome of this testing that is more important than who is "allowing" the testing to be done.

Chad starts us off by asking the question: "Did Ruth redeem the Moabites (See Deut 23:3) when she married Boaz?" This sparks a deep conversation about the Kinsmen redeemer and we branch off from there in typical UpLift fashion.

We continue the conversation from last week with more discussion on who the Holy Spirit is. We take it more to a side of worship this time. We also reflect on what was in 2023 and how God helped us come out of that.

In the last episode of the year, we discuss who the Holy Spirit is. As 1 of 3 in the Godhead, we talk about who He is to us and try to help others come to a better understanding of Him. Happy New Year and we will see you in 2024

Robert starts us off by talking about the Golden Goose. With Christmas just days away, we discuss what it means to give up the golden goose and how e need to be careful to not do it. We finish off with some bad dad jokes. It would be okay to cut us off 5 minutes early with this one.   Merry Christmas Everyone www.thefulcrumcenter.org

As we grow in our relationship with Christ, He continually reveals to us how important a strong relationship with Him is. We discuss that tonight.

Chad and Phil question the faith of the church and wonder what would happen if we really sunk our faith into the power of God in ways we have never seen or experienced.  Would that change things?
