On this seventh episode, Stephen and Austin talk about one of the most commonly misunderstood words (according to their limited experience) within the Church today. That word is EVANGELISM.

First, what is "evangelism," and WHY in the world are they talking about it?

Austin and Stephen see "evangelism" not just as something that Christians say or do, but rather it refers to the WAY in which we live our WHOLE LIVES towards God.

They talk about all of this and MORE on this seventh conversation on the Young, Dumb, and Trying Podcast!

**********
We all have those NAGGING QUESTIONS that make us stop and ASK, "What's life all about anyway?"

But we believe that stopping to ask those "tough questions" are GOOD! Asking these questions is the "hard work" it takes to LEARN and GROW.

And we've designed this podcast to be a place to do JUST THAT.

Join Austin and Stephen on the Young, Dumb, and Trying Podcast!

On this sixth episode, Stephen and Austin talk about one common experience a lot of Christians face today: Why does God seem DISTANT?

For a lot of people who call themselves Christians, they can probably think back to ONE MOMENT (most likely at a camp or church service) where God seemed to be speaking SO CLEARLY to them.

But, what happens when that moment ends? What happens when LIFE starts to get in the way of that experience? Does it mean that God has LEFT?

Austin and Stephen talk about all of that and MORE about the role of God's GRACE in these questions on this sixth conversation on the Young, Dumb, and Trying Podcast!

On this fifth episode, Stephen and Austin wanted to SHIFT GEARS, so to speak, from our REGULARLY scheduled program.

Instead of talking about a specific THOUGHT or IDEA, they chat about what the GOAL is of their lives.

In other words, WHY do Austin and Stephen do what they do? And how do they see themselves as fitting into God's "BIGGER PICTURE" in life?

Join us for this fifth conversation on the Young, Dumb, and Trying Podcast to find out more!

On this fourth episode, Stephen and Austin talk about the idea of SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCES, and specifically as it pertains to Christianity.

Not only do they share their own experiences with "miracles," but they also *ATTEMPT TO* identify the true purpose of the supernatural experiences themselves.

In other words, experiencing something "miraculous" or "supernatural" itself just MAY NOT be the goal.

So then . . . . what is "THE GOAL?"

On this third episode, Stephen and Austin talk about that word "RECONCILIATION" and what it really means.

Not only do they talk about what reconciliation MEANS, but they also *ATTEMPT TO* describe HOW we experience reconciliation. SPOILER ALERT! It involves both receiving it personally AND giving it to others.

In other words, reconciliation is more of a WAY OF LIFE than it is something we "do." And we oftentimes CAN'T live this lifestyle in our own power.

So. . . what in the world is RECONCILIATION?

On this second episode, Stephen and Austin talk about that word "GOSPEL" and what it really means.

In their LIMITED life experiences, the Gospel seems to be SOMETHING MORE to them than just a list of theological facts or beliefs.

So. . . what IS THE GOSPEL?

And this is a space where Austin and Stephen seek to do just that.

And on this first, episode, Austin and Stephen tackle WHY following Jesus may seem so DIFFICULT to us today.

Oftentimes, what we HEAR about Jesus doesn't line up with what we EXPERIENCE in the world around us.

So. . . WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO FOLLOW JESUS? Join us for our very first conversation on the Young, Dumb, and Trying Podcast!
