   You Don’t Need More Christian Content

   Most Christians don’t have an information problem. We have an application problem. We have access to more sermons, podcasts, devotionals, Bible studies, books, and Christian content than almost any generation before us. But knowing what Jesus taught and actually following Jesus are two very different things. In this episode of Applied Faith, we look at James 1:22 and Matthew 7:24–27 and ask a harder question: What has God already shown us that we still aren’t doing? We talk about the difference between information and transformation, why consuming Christian content can sometimes feel like spiritual progress, and why most obedience happens through small everyday decisions. Then we put it into practice. THIS WEEK’S APPLIED FAITH CHALLENGE: Bible Before Phone. For the next 7 days, before social media, email, YouTube, news, or entertainment: Read Scripture. Pray. Then pick up your phone. Give God your first attention instead of your leftover attention. If you’re doing the challenge with me, comment: I’M IN. Then come back and tell me what you notice. Applied Faith exists to help Christians close the gap between believing in Jesus and actually living like Jesus. Faith isn’t meant to stay in our heads. It’s meant to be applied. Subscribe and join us as we put faith into practice one decision, one habit, and one act of obedience at a time. #AppliedFaith #ChristianLiving #FollowJesus

   When Rejection and Doubt Make Your Faith Stronger

   I was afraid that asking the hardest questions about Christianity might destroy the faith I had built my life on. Instead, pursuing the truth made it stronger. This is what happened when rejection, doubt, and pain forced me to investigate the Bible, the resurrection, morality, suffering, science, history, and the evidence for Christianity. Someone I loved began questioning Christianity, walked away from God, and eventually left our family. Their questions exposed gaps in my own understanding—and I was terrified that investigating them might collapse the foundation of my life. But after the relationship broke, I made a decision: if Christianity was true, it could withstand scrutiny. If it wasn’t, I needed to know. The deeper I investigated, the stronger my faith became. In this episode of the Applied Faith Podcast, we examine what Romans 8:28 actually promises. It does not say that everything that happens is good. It says God is powerful enough to work through even the things that are painful, unjust, and seemingly impossible to redeem. We also discuss Joseph’s declaration in Genesis 50:20, the crucifixion of Jesus, Christian deconstruction, church hurt, compassion toward doubters, and the danger of becoming prideful when defending the faith. You’ll leave with five practical lessons: Tell the truth about your pain. Ask what God is forming in you. Refuse to let pain define you. Use what you learn to serve others. Trust God with what you cannot yet see. If you’ve ever been afraid to question your faith, this episode is for you.

   5 Daily Habits That Make You More Like Jesus

   Stop trying to become a better version of yourself. The goal of the Christian life is not simply self-improvement—it is becoming more like Christ. I recently changed one major thing in my life. Instead of asking, “How can I become 1% better today?” I started asking, “How can I become 1% more like Christ today?” That question is changing how I define growth, success, discipline, obedience, relationships, and spiritual maturity. In this episode of Applied Faith, we examine the biblical difference between improving yourself and being transformed into the image of Jesus. I also share five practical habits you can begin using every day: Surrender your day before trying to control it. Study Jesus before studying everyone else. Choose a Christlike response when pressure hits. Remove what is forming you away from Christ. Love someone in a costly and unseen way. This is not about earning salvation through better behavior. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. This is about sanctification—allowing the Holy Spirit to transform how we think, speak, serve, forgive, respond, and live. Join me in taking the 30-day challenge: Stop asking only, “How can I become better?” Start asking, “How can I become more like Christ today?” CHAPTERS 00:00 A Better Version of Yourself Isn’t the Goal 01:33 The Question That Changed My Life 04:15 Self-Improvement vs. Christlikeness 07:18 1.
