Why Thoughts Matter - TSOU ep. 71

Rethink Thinking

Christmas is a season where mental health is under serious pressure. As part of our emphasis on developing an inner life we have put major emphasis on creating a love relationship with the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

I Shall Not Want - TSOU Ep.70

As we reflect on the Kyrie Eleison from last weekend, we discuss the power of coveting in our lives.

The War of Wants

Part of the inner life is to pay attention to our desires and wants. The commandment do not covet is central to this conversation. Going after things we think we want can keep us from being aware of and pursuing what are our deepest, truest wants.

Becoming the Parents Your Family Needs

The Value of the Law - TSOU Ep.67

Why should Christians read the OId Testament? What value is there in studying the ten commandments and the law? What did Jesus mean when He said He came to fulfill the law?

Law and Heart

Many times, Christianity has been reduced to a set of rules that people try to make themselves and others obey. This has led to many people who try to live up to the law on their own without inward goodness that comes from a relationship with the Spirit and thus, have become conflicted people riddled with anxiety. Such people become unhealthy, hypocritical, and judgmental of themselves and others. These people have an outward appearance of righteousness, but inwardly they are a swirl of dysfunct...

This week we discuss the true heart behind confession and why it is absolutely necessary that we rediscover this spiritual discipline.

Monster: There's No Such Thing as Monsters
