140. God of wrath or God of love.
We can get very confused by what looks like an angry God in the Old Testament and a loving God in the New Testament. But is that true? Is God angry? Is God the same in the Old and New Testaments? In this episode, we cover a number of topics, but the main one is that of wrath. What do we do with God's anger?

121. Why Does Some Of Jesus' Teaching Sometimes Not Really Make Much Sense?
Remez was a Rabbinical teaching technique meaning hint or clue. Rabbi Jesus uses this and would assume the listens know the full Biblical text. The Rabbi Jesus would quote one verse of the Bible and want you to say the next line as the real answer.

118. How To Overcome Spiritual Procrastination
In this episode, Cris talks to us about the issue of 'Spiritual Procrastination' and how to overcome it. We all do it. We say "I need to know more before I can serve", or "I need go pray more before I can serve" or "I can do that later down the line" or even "I have too much going on to be able to serve". So what do we need to do to become more fruitful.
Proverbs 20:4 “The lazy man will not plow because of winter; He will beg during harvest and have nothing.”
Colossians 3:23 “And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men…”
Proverbs 26:13 “The lazy man says, “There is a lion in the road! A fierce lion is in the streets!”
Proverbs 6:9-11 “How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep-So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, And your need like an armed man.”
