When it comes to conflict, we may struggle with handling it in a loving, biblical way, where we listen and understand without anger arising. Maybe when you disagree with others, you revert to the phrase, 'agree to disagree,' which isn't all bad, but we can't always leave our disagreements in that pool of thought.

So, how can we love others well when we disagree with them?

On this episode of Everyday Theology, Brandon shares how we can love others like Christ when we experience moments of disagreements and come into conflicts. Tune in to hear what he has to say!

The use of pronouns is becoming more frequent in our culture today. We see it on email signatures. We are asked about our preferred pronouns on doctor's forms. Our servers at restaurants will wear them on their name tags.

We know that as believers, we are called to share and show the love of Christ to ALL PEOPLE because we are all created by God. But how do we do that while we navigate convictions we have surrounding questions such as this?

On this episode of Everyday Theology, Jacob, Ravae, and Brandon have a real-time conversation answering this question and more.

On this episode of Everyday Theology, Jacob takes us back to the basics to share with us what sin is and why we should care about it.

You've probably heard someone somewhere say something like, "I really hope the universe will bring me good things." Or maybe it was "the universe is working in my favor." Whatever the exact phrasing is, it seems as if we are living in a culture that credits the good things in our lives to "the universe." But what does that mean exactly? And is it really working in our favor?

On this episode of Everyday Theology, Jacob, Ravae, and Brandon talk about this phenomenon, if it's Biblical, and how we can navigate these conversations. Be sure to check it out!
