In this bonus segment, Josh Rowand talks with Nate and explains how he uses the Bible to connect with God in a meaningful way.
The disciples of Jesus knew that He had big plans for them. They were called to stand for truth in a world that loved lies. They were called to preach the Word of God in a world that hated the Message and the messenger. How would they find the strength to fulfill their calling? There was only one way... by abiding in the Vine.
How will we ever find the strength to bear good fruit in a wicked world? There's only one way. By abiding in the Vine.
So, maybe you’re a fairly new believer in Jesus. You know you've been called to live a noble life, full of wisdom and good fruit. But you just aren’t quite sure how to attain to that. And what’s worse, everyone around you seems to have an opinion about what it takes to get there. And now you're confused. If you can relate to some of these feelings, this episode is for you.

There is no way we can live an overcoming Christian life without the (real) grace of God and love of God. So maybe that’s why the apostles gave really strong warnings about things that sounded like grace and love, but were nothing less than demonic counterfeits that destroyed people’s lives.
Without the (real) grace and love of God, it's impossible to live the Christian life. The counterfeits are worthless.
Nabeel Qureshi grew up with a deep love for Allah, Mohammed and his family's heritage, and quickly became a confident and zealous proponent of his beloved faith. But when a Christian friend challenged him to closely examine the truth claims of Islam, his beloved faith could not bear the weight of honest scrutiny. In desperation, he cried to Allah for the truth, but what he found utterly shocked him.
When Nabeel's religion crumbled under honest scrutiny, he was desperate for truth. What he found next utterly stunned him.
If you've been in sexual sin for a long time, it’s easy to feel like, “This is hopeless. I’ll never be free.” But believe it or not, this is self-pity—just another one of Satan’s schemes to keep people away from true repentance, faith and salvation. In this episode, we look at how to know if you’re in self-pity and how to get out of it.
Self-pity is just another demonic scheme to keep people away from true repentance. We'll explain what self-pity is and how to repent of it.

When it comes to things that lead us into sin, Jesus' stance is strong, uncompromising, even seemingly extreme. But He has promised that if we will listen to Him, our lives will be built on an unshakable foundation.

Have you ever felt like sin drug you into a spiritual desert or a land of captivity? If so, the prophetic words in Isaiah 55 will resonate deeply with you. This timeless passage calls out to every lost soul: "Return to God!" so that we might find in Him a place of spiritual peace, security and prosperity.
If sin has ever led you away captive, Isaiah 55 is for you. "Return to God!" it says, and find in Him a land of spiritual peace.
In Psalm 107, this refrain is repeated four times: “Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and He delivered them out of their distress.” Why the repetition? Because when we realize that we have sinned, and we know we are in deep trouble, we need to know without a doubt that God will answer us if we cry out to Him.
When we're in deep trouble because of our sin, Psalm 107 is there to offer us strong confidence that God will hear us if we cry out to Him.
