This Jesus Life Podcast

Truth has been used as a weapon to bring destruction rather than life to those Christians who come in contact with them. We don’t think that was Jesus’ plan. Join us this episode to see how to not delight in evil, but rejoice in the truth in our lives and for the lives of others.

Forgiveness is hard, but it’s benefits are for you as the forgiver. Loving others is Jesus’ command that brings the full life to fruition and we can't love them if we can't forgive them. This week we talk about the importance for ourselves to forgive in this life. Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

Emotions get the best of us often and anger if you are like us probably tops that list. Unfortunately, anger doesn't build relationships. If we are called to relationships, we have to work hard to dig into the cause of our anger and behave accordingly. Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

Love isn't something that God does, it is something He is. If you are going to imitate God in how He loves people, we've got to spend a lot more time thinking about people than we do about ourselves. Not an easy task, but an important one if we are going to love our neighbor as ourselves. More of Jesus and less of us.

Seriously don't be a turd and force itself on others. It is the easiest way to ruin relationships and get people to run away. Honor people, see them as people and choose to love them well in each and every interaction. Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

We’ll quote Stephen Hawking, we know crazy, but he put it beautifully, “people who boast about their IQ are losers.” Too funny not to quote. We all fight feelings of inadequacy, but pride and boasting will destroy your relationships. Careful, it sneaks up on your like a sly little serpent.

Covetousness, jealousy, resentment, bitterness, resentfulness, spite, desire, and the green-eyed monster. Envy comes in a lot of forms. When envy enters the picture love and relationship go right out the door. We continue our discussion this week about how to love people well.

Love is Kind. Kindness is an interesting idea and countercultural for most of us in how we are to live. What happens if someone takes advantage of my kindness? Does kindness mean I can never say something that will hurt someone's feelings? Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

We start our new season all about relationships. Relationship with Jesus and with one another. We can't do relationship well if we don't know how to other each other well. This week we talk through Love being patient and how difficult it really is to live out. Share your story with us by sending us a message at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

Relationships are difficult; they take time and intentionality and can be the greatest place of pain in our lives. But we are still called to be in them and good at them. Jesus called us to Love God and Love people. He called us to relationship. This week we start the conversation about how to do relationships well.

We sit down with a friend this week for a simple conversation about what Jesus is doing in our lives these days. It was heartfelt, inspiring, and all in relationship. Join us for this conversation with friends. Share your Jesus story with us at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com

It is 2020, there are plenty of things to worry about. But what if Jesus' way to not worry could actually help us find freedom and enjoy this life again. In this week's episode, we talk about how worry so easily entangles us and how to find freedom and free ourselves from it. Share your Jesus story with us at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com

This week, we cover God's faithfulness and share some stories from our friends and listeners of this show.  Often times we struggle to see God's faithfulness when we are in the midst of struggle and heartache, but God is faithful and He is at work. We talk about how to be reminded and live into God's Faithfulness, especially when life gets hard. Share your stories with us at hello@thisjesuslifepodcast.com.

God is good. I know you’ve heard it said a thousand times, but what do you do when it doesn't feel that way. This episode Andrew and Josh take on the characteristics of God that He is Just, the definition of Love, and Merciful. How do you rectify God being good and the evil in this world? How does it affect our relationship with Jesus?

Control is a scary word in our world today, but our view of God's Throne Characteristics: Sovereign, Holy, Absolute Truth, Righteous, gives us confidence and security in this life and relationship with Him. In this episode, we try to break down these characteristics and their impact on our lives and relationship with Jesus.

Having a big view of God can be the difference between having hope or not having hope. We continue our series of helping us have proper views of God. This week we unpack God's characteristics of being All-Powerful, All-Knowing, and All-Present and what they mean in our day to day view of God.

If you've spent any time as a Christian, you know that the Jesus Life can be full of mountain top highs and deep valley lows. The swing can be exhausting and discouraging. Join in our conversation this week as we talk about how to manage these swings and have much more mountain top highs.

We weren't made to go through life alone! In this discussion, we focus on the current state of the community, overreaching expectations, and Jesus-centered ways to pursue building a healthy genuine community in a simple way.  We hope it helps you build deeper community, or take your first crack at it!

Spending time with Jesus daily isn't the easiest thing, but is one of the most important Jesus habits you can build.  This week we talk through what that looks like for us and how you might start.  We just want you to give it a shot!

This week we focus on three keys to living out a meaningful relationship with Jesus: Silence, Prayer, and Confession.  The key to all this is that you shouldn’t expect God to do crazy stuff in your life unless you’re doing some of these regular Jesus habits in an honest way!

Let's talk about the habits Jesus practiced during his time on earth and how we can replicate these practices in our life to grow in our dependence and relationship with Jesus. We want to help you have time with Jesus that feels like a close friend. This week we talk about those Jesus Concerts, taking naps, and hunger strikes.

As followers of Jesus, we want to live in the freedom that Jesus has provided us. We decided to take on the topic of the Old and New Covenant and how they apply to our lives as Christians. It may not what you expected or maybe you completely agree. Let us dive into this topic that all of a sudden has become controversial. 

Have you ever smoked, chewed, or hung with those who do? Let's talk about how to practically think about these things. We cover everything from addiction, to support, to loving your brother/sister well when they mess up. Enjoy!

Shame sucks and most people have it and live in it, but you don't have to. As a follower of Jesus you have access to freedom. Join Andrew and Josh as they talk about shame, grace, and finding freedom. Be sure to listen to the very end of this one (or just skip ahead), it is pure gold and very helpful.

Too spiritual? Not spiritual enough to hear the voice of God? This week we dive into a conversation about hearing the voice of God. Depending on your background, hearing God's voice may seem like a normal place or way out of the left field. Either way, Andrew and Josh talk about experiences when they heard God's voice and how they discerned it was God, Himself.

And it begins. We started a podcast to help people find hope. As just two normal dudes that love and follow Jesus, we hope to help you do the same. We start this podcast by introducing ourselves and talking through what we hope to accomplish with this podcast. We on the watch for more episodes coming really soon.
