On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of gospel tracts. Listen as the guys share about the tracts they have given and received over the years. Many Christians assume handing out tracks will be a controversial act, but from the guy's experience it usually turns out to be a pleasant exchange. In fact, it could even be a life changing event for non-believers. Gospel tracts have been around long before even the printing press, and we can’t negate their effectiveness. They speak clearly and g...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of wisdom. The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge is morals and information, while wisdom is the insight to know when vs. when not to take action. Most decisions we make in life require some knowledge, but a lot of wisdom. Our culture today is very rich in knowledge and poor in wisdom. Wisdom isn’t hidden from us, but rather hidden for us. Every human being has a conscience and the knowledge of right vs. wrong. Without God as an ultima...

On today’s episode, the guys discuss unity and the idea that it is time to stop fighting with other Christians. Unity is extremely important and the Scripture speaks of it in very explicit terms. Paul speaks of the sensitivity we, as Christians, are to have towards believers who have different perspectives and convictions. We are to set aside anything that can be set aside in order to keep the peace among brothers. How can we walk in love if there is no unity among us? The Father, Son and Holy S...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of holiness. While we know it is extremely important for Christians to pursue and live in holiness, it remains a word which often raises a red flag. To begin, they share the Christian definition of holiness compared to the dictionary definition. When we try to define the word in the English language, we often oversimplify its nuance. Holiness encompasses separation and morality as a communicable and incommunicable attribute. When God decides to use y...

On today’s episode, the guys discuss what they have been reading in the Word lately. Before jumping into that, Mark offers advice for having a rich devotional life. Currently, he is reading one chapter of the Bible per day alongside his wife, daughters and friends. He prefers to have devotion in the morning, to ensure meditation on the Scripture for the remainder of the day. Jesus doesn’t want to just be part of our life, but the totality of our life. He advises listeners to choose a verse from ...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of unity, division and how we as Christians can avoid it. In the age of social media, division is more apparent than ever. While it’s important that we speak the truth when there are evident and definite errors, we must be very careful about the spirit in which we do so. There are times in which God’s word does divide, but we should take our cues from the Scripture, not the culture, to determine which issues are primary and which are secondary. Roman...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of the power of prayer, which is often one of the biggest struggles for Christians Without prayers, man could never accomplish as much as he could with it. Prayer can get us to the place of knowing how we are doing based on what we pray. The guys question the legitimacy and intimacy of the common prayer, and urge listeners to recognize God’s presence in prayer rather than inviting Him in. One of the largest issues of prayer is lack of faith. The real...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of the fear of the Lord. The Bible is soaked in promises to those who fear the Lord. Through this fear of the Lord, men depart from evil. Today, the distinction between the creature and the Creator is falling apart, and many people have a nonchalant attitude towards God as their casual friend. Ultimately, fear is not a bad thing. It is recognizing that something has power over us, and finding comfort in that fact. How do we distinguish fearing God vs...

On today’s episode featuring guest Dr. Owen Strachan, the guys tackle a subject which is a major issue confronting the church today: homexuality. Many of us have become desensitized in terms of the severity of this problem and have adopted the mentality of the world towards it. Owen is coauthor of the book What Does the Bible Teach About Homosexuality?, and is here to discuss his perspective on the matter. Homosexuality is not just a sin that people commit, but has become a highly honored identi...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle a topic which was suggested by a listener: anxiety and how to grow in our relationship with God. They begin by discussing the realm of trials as believers, or the moments when we feel our life is falling apart because of anxiety, stress, financial problems, health issues, etc. We are living in a world full of difficulties and trials, but still can grow with the Lord regardless. Maintaining our composure is not just about surviving but thriving. We start off he...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of Godly marriages. To begin, each of them share how long they have been married. As we see it, marriage is in bigger trouble in America than ever before. As Christian men, we are commanded to love our wives the way Christ loved the church, unconditionally and sacrificially. The best thing we can do for our spouse is to submit to the Lord ourselves. Marriages shouldn’t be likened to a competitive rate, but a relay race in which you work together. Rea...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of the power of God’s word. In Ray’s experience, when you are saved, God’s word leaves you in a never ending honeymoon phase. Value impacts behavior and when we value Christ, we understand that His word is direct communication to us. According to 2 Timothy 3:16-17, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, instruction and righteousness that the man of God may be fully equipped for every good wo...

On today’s episode, the guys tackle the topic of forgiveness. They speculate that unwillingness to forgive arises from us thinking of ourselves as mini Gods. However, we should each remember that we are not Gods, but sinners among sinners. God commands us to be in a perpetual state of forgiveness. If we don’t forgive, we will not be forgiven. In the end, God is the justifier of sin, so we are released from carrying out justice. Forgiveness is to not hold someone in a place where they are in debt...

Today, the hosts talk amongst themselves about a topic that brings with it many common misunderstandings: the topic of good works. Some religious groups, such as Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses, teach that good works are a means by which a person can try to earn salvation. At the same time, it is all too common for Christians to embrace either legalism or antinomianism, placing either too much or not enough importance on good works. Thinking well about good works as a Christian requires keeping ...

On today’s episode, the guys talk about the extremely destructive sin of pride. Pride is “the silent killer,” the original sin, a self-deceiving foe. It is a form of idolatry present in all of us and driving much of the world. It is subtle and secretive, and while we often can’t see it in ourselves, we tend to be disgusted when we notice it in others. We all know what it feels like to notice pride in this way. We’ve been bothered by the athlete who is obviously full of himself or the self-procla...

In this episode of Living Waters , the hosts speak about how to walk in sexual purity and the battle of the mind. They begin by pointing out how sexual impurity has been present in our world since the Old Testament and has only grown in recent years with the accessibility of social media. They define sexual impurity as taking good gifts from the Lord and using them in ways that defile them. Because sexual impurity is such a prevalent stumbling block in our world, the hosts move on to discussing ...

On today’s episode, the guys are back to discuss heaven and the hope of heaven in the midst of a perverse world we live in. As the conversation kicks off, they unpack some of the misconceptions people have about heaven. Many of these ideas come from medieval literature and art which depicts heaven as a far away place of leisure in the clouds. However, heaven is ultimately a renewed earth in which God has made right what humans have made wrong. Then, they each share some of their individual image...

In today’s conversation, they discuss the imprint on someone that leads us to then to value what is inside and treat them accordingly. Learn about the imago dei— the image of God—and the far reaching implications this reality has for all of creation. Humans are beings, not “doings”, and we are called to image and reflect God in such a way that points attention to the glory of God. While the image of God in man was not destroyed at the Fall, it was defaced and marred. The conversation shifts as t...
