Pastor Eric Everhart sat down with Austin and Dan for his first ever Deeper podcast, where we asked him about freedom, uncomfortable love and botany (briefly).

On this special "double feature" episode, Austin and Dan talk about the last two weeks' sermons! They discuss dangers to salvation and the challenge of underestimating our spiritual resumes, and then turn to our "Danger Zones" and ways we can identify dangeorus situations before we find ourselves caught up in them.

When we go through big challenges, we often find ourselves in similar seasons as Noah did - seasons of darkness, hope, planning for the future and an arrived destination. Though we aren't at our final destination as believers, we are given tools to navigate these seasons better. What are they and how can we use them well?

If you watch a movie like "Fight Club" for the first time and expect it to be a comedy, you'll be very confused and come away with probably a different message than the writer intended. Similarly, if we read scripture without knowledge of the genre it is, we may misinterpret or misunderstand what God tried to teach us. How do we learn about biblical genres and ancient historical contexts? And, more importantly, should Dan and Austin try and race their normal cars the speed that professional drag racers can achieve?

There are few examples of people actively running from God's plan as clearly as Sampson. Yet, God still used him- and his parents- as examples of faithfulness and support. What can we learn from the parents of a child who avoided his calling like the plague?

Snakes are commonly used symbols in the Old Testament, but often in conflicting ways. They can be Good - like Aaron's staff or the Bronze Serpent from Numbers 21 - or Bad, like the Serpent in the Garden from Genesis. What do we do with these conflicting symbols?

We spend so much time trying to determine who is "in" when it comes to faith matters that we often end up driving people away. Today, Dan and Austin talk about our tendency to divide instead of unifying and ask questions about what it means to care well for people who might not be fully on board with "All that Jesus stuff".

Armed with a slew of gardening and gym metaphors, Dan and Austin explore more about prayer. How can we actually, genuinely pray for our enemies without our natural ulterior motives? They take a stab at that while also addressing habits, challenges and practical steps for improving our prayer lives.
