Today's special guest is Marco Torres, a pastor in Perth, Australia who finds joy in engaging non-Christians in meaningful relationships that lead to spiritual conversation. We talk about how the judgment doesn't have to be scary, how God addresses suffering and ways we can make an impact in a Corona-virus crazed world.

Have you ever felt like you've been thrown to lions? You're not alone! The story of Daniel's escape from the lions den is miraculous, but it wouldn't have been possible without his perseverance and trust in God throughout his years in captivity. Today we take a look at how a lifestyle of faith prepares us for challenges small and great. God is the king of all beast, whether they be fearsome ferocious cats or the day-to-day challenges of life.

Romans 5 is one of the least discussed chapters in the New Testament, maybe because it's so misunderstood. Today Jeff and Andrew explore how the Gospel frees us from the try harder, pray better, do more mentality. We can breathe a sigh of relief because the power of the Son is in the palm of our hands.

The wrath of God is often portrayed as the active punishment of those who don’t fall in line, but could it be something else? In this episode we talk about how separation from the God of love is at the core of His wrath and understanding it will drive us to reach out to others rather than distancing ourselves from them.
