"After the Vote"
It's election season in the USA and with it comes an incredible amount of angst, prayer, worry, fighting and hand wringing. It really is a big deal and the vote is important. Yet God is sovereign over it all and he alone is the one who establishes government. This is just an encouragement to remember what the vote actually is a reflection of and for Christians not to lose sight of the Gospel proclamation that God has given us, regardless of whose party is in power.

And God Said No! Episode 4
Mike wraps up the thoughts on why 2020 seems to be a year that refuses to go back to normal. We've prayed, begged, complained, been angry, fearful, hurt and for many we just want what we had before. But what if, similar to the Old Testament Israelites, God doesn't want to go back to the way of life we had before. What might he be calling us to for the future?

And God Said No! Episode 3
On today's episode of Mic Check, we continue the thought "And God Said No" to our requests for a return to normal. We're operating from the idea that God does not seem to be letting our world go backwards and return to the way it was... it's not good for us and there are plenty of potential reasons why. Today we take a look at how God may respond to our request for peace, but insisting we look back at a big Bible... GOD idea - SABBATH. But we'll take a look past the easy definition and get to the crux of the issue.
