Humans With Faith

How soon is too soon for Christmas music? What's the most popular Christmas carol of all time? What does it mean when the Bible says, 'God with us'? Does my co-host, Steve McNitt have a future as a vocalist? Join us for 25 minutes of Christmas fun as we kick off this short three-episode series on Christmas. www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

It's been said that knowledge is power. If that's true, using that power rightly; at the right time, in the right way, and for the right reasons, requires wisdom. Proverbs 4:7 says, 'Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment.' (NLT) In this episode on Humans With Faith, I have the great pleasure of introducing you to my good friend, Sam Koopmans. Sam is a pastor at Harbor Church in Folsom, CA. I think you'll find a lot of value in this conversation as we discuss some of the background and application of the book of James in the Bible. www.humanswithfaith.com

Is worship more than a song? Does what we do and how we do it express who or what we worship? In today's episode, David Ruybalid returns to give us insight on how and why we're all wired for giving worth. You can learn more about David at davidruybalid.com www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

Today’s guest is David Ruybalid, a pastor at Wellspring Church in Modesto, CA. This episode is the first in a series of discussions where David and I kind of geek out on many things. Some of which are theology, liturgy, and unity as we dialogue on the differences of expression within the Christian church. If you’re a person of faith, have you ever wondered why the church down the street does things a little different than your church? Have you ever been tempted to think that they’re missing it and your church is the one who’s figured it out? Psalm 133:1 says, ‘How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity.’ Understanding before judging is vital when it comes to walking in unity. In this discussion, we talk about a few things that churches do differently and why. www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith

The book of John in the New Testament contains the word 'believe,' ninety-eight times. Why such a heavy focus on believe? Believe what?

Call it passion, obsession, hustle, or dedication, living on purpose for a purpose is appealing but not always easy. There’s no straight line to getting from here to there, wherever there may be. Life is full of twists and turns and going along for the ride is part of the fun. In this episode, David Sunnock (@davidsunnock) offers some wisdom on enjoying the journey while navigating through uncertainty as he shares his story. www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith  

Remember those marriage vows? Probably not. That’s ok. They’re not very realistic anyway.   What is real is some of the promises in Scripture that can become pillars in our marriage.   When it comes to, ‘...for better, or for worse…’ having something to guide you through is key in staying the course.   This episode is Part 2 on marriage with my special guest, Lisa Thompson, as she shares The Seven Promises Of Marriage.   You can find more great stuff from Lisa HERE.

What can separate you from God’s love?    Nothing.    Really!   In episode six, the final discussion of my series with Steve McNitt on his book ’Simple. Enormous. Love.' we unpack the relentless love of God.   www.humanswithfaith.com @humanswithfaith @spiritualmustard
