Real Church Matters Podcast

It's the 28th episode! And it is a REAL real church matters discussion. We all hear about how we should be separate from the world and worldliness and secular things but what does that really mean? We discuss why Christians love the culture so much and how we are called to love the world but hate the system/ culture the world operates in. Other topics include the Matrix, Charlottesville, homosexuality, computer viruses, and the illuminati. Enjoy guys! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/real-church-matters/support

For this weeks episode we discuss “The Unknown.” The questions of where will I be in 5 years? Will I be successful? Will I be married? etc & the fear that comes along with US not knowing. We discuss Amelia Earhart, Noah, tithes, #lifegoals and #relationshipgoals. We also discuss how we are to embrace the unknown with OBEDIENCE because the unknown is known, just not to you. Tomorrow is none of your business. Today’s obedience is your only concern. Enjoy! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/real-church-matters/support

Episode 25 is live and it's all about obedience. Sometimes we can get so caught up in talking about what God said, we forget the importance of DOING what God said. We talk about being seeds, being tried in the fire, and being gold-plated instead of pure gold. Some are sinners, some are saints, but I'd rather be obedient.

This episode we talk about Christians getting comfortable...a little too comfortable. Do we really have that luxury? In a world full of round the clock darkness, can I choose when to be a light?

Episode 21 is here and it's one you'll need your thinking caps for. In a world full of fake news and opinions, even the church is in a crisis of truth.
