How to Deal With Yourself

Is Christ in Your Christmas Carols? "Away in a Manger"

How historically and biblically accurate are some of our classic Christmas carols? Pastor Mike strips away the music as we examine the lyrics of some of our favorite songs. First up: how often do we think about the environment in which Jesus was born? "Away in a Manger" isn't a picture-perfect nativity scene or Hallmark moment. Instead, through its historical context, we see the profound impact of what it really means to be born in a manger.

How to Talk About Jesus 101

If the good news about Jesus is so good, then why don't Christians share more about it? Maybe it's because we feel inadequate and don't know what to say. Or we are terrified of how our friends and family would react. Pastor Mike can relate. And that's why in today's message, he opens up the Bible to see how the greatest sharer of faith, the apostle Paul, teaches us to talk about Jesus. In just a few short verses, Paul gives us a crash course on how to share the Good News with our friends and family.Get your copy of "Closer to God Each Day," our new 365-day devotional, with your financial gift to Time of Grace! https://bit.ly/49lCmWPIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

God's Blueprint for a Happy Home: Living Together Before Marriage?

Is it okay if couples—who aren't married but love one another—live together? In our 21st-century culture, it's not unusual for couples to look for certainty in compatibility by living together first; not to mention doing so also saves on rent, bills, and expenses. But what does God say? Does the Bible actually prohibit cohabitation? Pastor Mike wrestles with this real and relevant topic by asking two foundational questions: Does living together make us happy? Does it make us holy?If you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support? We can't do any of this without you!

What's the Point? Keeping My God Connection

Let's be honest. It's too easy for us to forget God. When times are good, we're lost in the blur of blessings and forget about him. When times are bad, our hearts focus on the pain and we forget about him. So the big question is: how do we remember God? As Pastor Mike finishes teaching from the book of Esther, we discover—with great specificity and practicality—how we can always remember God and stay connected to him constantly .With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "A Guide to Mental & Emotional Wellness" at: https://bit.ly/44giFflIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

What's the Point? What to Do When I Fall Short

Many of us claim to follow Jesus, but so often we fall short. We have the potential to love, to forgive, not to worry, to trust in God, not to fear cancer, to stand out in the crowd. But too often we fall short of that potential. So what can we do? Continuing through the book of Esther, Pastor Mike encourages us with these three things to remember as we live our lives for Jesus.With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "A Guide to Mental & Emotional Wellness" at: https://bit.ly/44giFflIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

What's the Point? My Plans vs. God's Plans

How much should we plan our lives when we know God's got plans for us? Should we be ruthless and driven about planning our schedules and our lives? Or should we be so trusting and so faithful that we just wait to see where God takes us? The answer, Pastor Mike says, comes from understanding that both approaches can be right—because truth is a tension. And, as we see from the book of Esther, we need to understand two certain truths to make our relationship right with God.With your gift to Time of Grace, you can request your copy of "Real Women of the Bible" at: https://bit.ly/3OQMOgZIf you enjoy this podcast and make it a regular part of your week, would you consider helping us with your regular support?

What we go through—the good, the bad, and everything in between—is not random. It's not a matter of luck. Because there is no such thing as coincidence, Pastor Mike says.
