In this episode we dive into a topic that is incredibly nuanced and worth exploring. We by no means are presenting an answer or a new theology but simply an interesting point of view from a podcast we recently discovered. Theres no question that we believe evil exists and there is a spiritual side of life, but have we put the right face to evil? Have we created a boogyman that has left us focusing on an exterior enemy as opposed to the enemy within? We talk about this and more, pull up a chair, ...

I got caught watching a podcast the other day and it was absolutely mindless fun....and when I say I got caught, I mean by myself. I realized that I wasted an hour and half listening to something that didn't bring me one step closer to the person I say I want to become. Now don't get me wrong, I don't think watching this like that is bad. I just think if you're doing that before you're building the person you want to be, then you're out of balance. We address those issues and open up on what kee...

Welcome to the first ever Nights live podcast where we tackled how relationships can heal by simply understanding one another's personality types. We use the Enneagram to help aid in our comprehension of our partners good and bad sides. They are two sides of the same coin and we believe that if you can understand your partners personality, then maybe you wouldn't take everything done to you in a negative manner but more so with an empathic understanding that the dark characteristics that we all ...

In this episode we bring on some single friends and discuss the honest truth of why they're still single. I've found it to be true that most of the time when I was single, I always found what was wrong in other people and put the blame on them for why my relationships didn't work. It was easier to admit that they had a problem than it was to admit that I was the common denominator. We get real and honest with each other and hope that you can find yourself in one of our stories and learn what its...

On this episode our good friend William Matthews joins us to discuss how fluid is the Bible when it comes to culture. Theres a fear in Christian circles that any attempt to "update" the Bible is a sign of heresy and progressive christianity, but was it always intended to remain the way it is? Did God stop speaking after the Bible was bound? Or is he speaking now in a louder voice that is in step with where his creation is in history? Pull up a chair, you're all invited to the table.
