Semi-normal people discussing God's word, and how it applies to daily life. Rachelle & Carder host a morning show on 89.3 KSBJ in Houston. Anything But Quiet Time is an inside look into what they're learning as they read through the Bible. It's kind of like that conversation that happens when you attend a really cool small group at your church. If it encourages you, please share this podcast with a friend - and don't forget to listen to Rachelle & Carder every weekday morning on 89.3 KSBJ in Houston, or online at KSBJ.org. Presented by KSBJ
A viral story seemed to show a lazy husband, not helping his wife and baby. Until the wife shared details that no one else knew. It led us to a conversation about Biblical principles to have in this fast paced online world we live in, that often speaks before having all the facts.
It's a hard question Christians face. Something to the effect of, "how can you claim Jesus is the only way to heaven, when many have never even heard of Jesus?" But the Bible seems to give a clear answer that all people, even those that haven't heard; have hope!
People often treat the Sabbath as a "rule" to keep, as it is one of the first Ten Commandments. But 2 questions arise in our conversation about it: Are Christians REQUIRED to observe it, and even if not; should we?
The term "kingdom" can be used many different ways within Christianity. Is it a place, or a list of principles? What does Jesus mean when he says "the kingdom is in your midst"? The answer may explain why we don't get the answers to our prayers when we want them.
We share a story of a mom that spent 10 years wondering if her child would come back home. There is a lot of hurt and uncertainty in waiting that long, but as that mom shared, there is always hope.
Carder again plays the role of someone who criticizes Christianity. How should believers respond? Rachelle reacts to a couple of common things people might bring up, including a stumper that a Jehovah's Witness might bring up.
This week, Carder plays the role of someone who criticizes Christianity. How should believers respond? Rachelle reacts to a couple of common things people might bring up. Our goal is to have good discussions, show the love of Jesus, and also know when to say "I don't know" or even when to walk away.
Jesus calls believers to forgive. But how do you do it if you don't think your feelings will ever get there? C.S. Lewis had some great advice: start small.
There are some "scary" verses in the Bible, namely the ones that make you feel like God will condemn you if you don't "bear fruit". But who was the original audience that Jesus was speaking to, and why is that so important when we read scripture today? We dive in to Luke 13 about the parable of the fig tree.
This week, we imagine heaven. What does it ACTUALLY look like, compared to what people have said about it? Is it more than just floating on a cloud? Could it be that what we love about life now, we'll be doing in heaven?
This week we discuss some passive aggressive phrases, and try to work out alternatives with more honesty and clarity. This is especially when it comes to parents communicating with kids.
We follow up our conversation on spiritual gifts, with this conversation about natural gifts? Have a talent, hobby, interest? Good! All of us can use those for the kingdom of God.
