This is a continuation of Episode 160 as we discuss Faith vs Reality. In this episode we discuss: - How do we practically live by faith in the face of contesting realities - Does faith mean the answer is always yes? what If God doesn’t heal or give the response that we expected, is it always because of a lack of faith - Jesus says in Jon 14:14 You may Ask for anything in my name and I will do it? What role does the sovereignty of God play in the things we believe and ask God for? Have a listen and join the conversation Radiant Culture

At times as Christians we often struggle to believe or hold on to what the word of God says when the reality on the ground seems to be other wise. How do you apply faith in difficult situations? It seems like sometimes as Christians we are often acceptors of reality rather than changers of reality through our faith. Peter when Jesus was walking on water towards the boat he asked Jesus , if it was him to call him so he can walk on water too, and Jesus called him to come and he walked briefly on water until he faced the reality of the wind and the storm and he doubted and began to sink. Jesus attributes his sinking to a lack of faith. How do we build our faith such that we are those who walk by faith and not by sight in a world that throws everything at us? It’s easier said than done, but still possible because we are called to be those who live by faith. Have a listen and join the conversation... Radiant Culture

When we first become believers and followers of Jesus we have such a passion for the the things of God and a hunger to grow spiritually. However when we reach a certain level of spiritual maturity we tend to get complacent and become less hungry to grow in our faith, at times our faith even diminishes. In the New Testament there’s a consistent call to believers for spiritual maturity and growth especially in Hebrews. That means consistently seeking to grow in our Faith moving from milk (elementary principles of faith) to meat (Substance and spiritual maturity). How do we get going again and rekindle a passion to continue to grow in the things of God? Radiant Culture

We live in an age where people are increasingly rejecting objective truth& God’s truth for their own personal truths. In this episode we discuss what is the danger in this new movement? What ways does it contribute to creating a more selfish society? How does it affect how people engage with God’s Word? If it’s all about “my truth” could we not ultimately end up doing away with God’s word completely? How can Christian’s walk in wisdom concerning this and ensure they don’t get caught up in this movement? Radiant Culture

There is a  movement currently trending in society called “Cancel Culture” which sees individuals  being “cancelled” by society for things they have either said or done.

Recently, American preacher, Creflo Dollar preached a sermon titled “The Great Misunderstanding” in which he claimed that tithing is part of the Old Testament and is not necessary for Christians under the New Covenant. He then went on to urge his congregants to destroy his teachings on the topic. What did he mean by this? Is tithing really an “Old Testament thing” that we are to abandon completely? And what effect does it have on followers of Christ when ministers revoke their teaching like this? Have a listen and join the conversation. Radiant Culture

In this episode we are joined by Pastor Craig Ndoro as we discuss rekindling the fire from when we got saved.
