That‘ll Preach | How to Pray (Old Dead Guys Series)

Prayer is central to the Christian life, but why do we find it so hard to do? Bryan and Paul tackle this topic with the help of John Calvin. Calvin is known for his work on God's sovereignty, but his best stuff is on prayer. He gives us four keys to prayer rooted in the fatherly and kind character of God.

That‘ll Preach | Does God Have Feelings? (Old Dead Guys Series)

Bryan and Paul tackle how we understand the way the Bible speaks in human terms about God. How can we know God if he's infinite? Can we know anything about him? And why does it matter that we talk about it in the first place? Is it just because Bryan and Paul have no other hobbies? Yes. That is a major reason. But also God has revealed who he is to us. And that means his nature and identity are crucial for us to think through. We bring in our buddy Thomas Aquinas to help us in this task. He's dead though, so he won't actually be speaking on the podcast. You get what we mean.

Sermon | God‘s Faithfulness to Jacob (Genesis 35:9-15)

The story of God's salvation through the life of Jacob.

Teaching | Peace to You: Friendship (Series on Philippians)

We all feel the emotional burnout of this quarantine. This is why we need genuine friendship. Christian friendship is special because it is bound together by the Holy Spirit himself. But what does this mean on a practical level? Dive into Philippians with us to find out.
