On this episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Chris talk about how Christians are supposed to live in the world & culture that we're placed but live in such a way where we are not living like the world.

On this episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Chris talk about the magical world of Disney and a Christian's response to Disney. In the world today, one cannot go far without interacting with Disney, but because Disney does not always line up with Christian values, some Christians believe that Disney is completely evil and should be considered as such. On the flip side, many Christians have no problem with Disney and let their children view any movie that Disney releases. How should Christians respond to Disney? Let's talk about it.

On this episode of Real Talk Christian Podcast, Marc and Chris talk about their pasts while asking the question, "Does my past effect my future?" The goal is to give hope to those who feel like they have no future because of their "tainted" past. Quotes mentioned in the podcast: “Having faith means believing God has a great future in front of you, and he uses the past to shape you for the future that lies ahead. In order to experience this great future, we have to get in step with him.” - Scott Colvin (https://bacc.cc/why-your-past-doesnt-have-to-determine-your-future) "We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.” - Rick Warren (quote from the book The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here for?)
