Let's Talk: Faith in a Modern World

About Let's Talk: Faith in a Modern World

This is a down-to-earth conversation between two Christian men: one older, one younger. Neither of us are pastors. One’s a longtime believer and Bible study leader; the other is a new Christian learning to walk with Christ. Together, we wrestle with the daily challenges of Christian living—struggles, doubts, growth, and grace. From different seasons of life but united in faith, we’re learning what it really means to follow Jesus in a world that often feels broken and chaotic. If you're trying to live out your faith with honesty, courage, and hope—welcome. You are not alone!

   Can Christians Fight Back?

   What if loving your enemies meant putting yourself at risk? What if Jesus’ command to “turn the other cheek” collided with your instinct to protect yourself—or your family? In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with the deep tension between loving those who’ve wronged us and the desire—or even the need—to defend ourselves. Is self-defense biblical? Is pacifism the only “Christian” response? And how far does mercy really go? If you’ve ever wondered, “Do I really have to care for someone who hates me?”—you’re not alone.

    Let's Talk: Faith in a Modern World - When Hate Feels Holy: Can I Be Angry and Still Love Like Jesus?

    What if loving your enemies isn’t just a command… but a path to freedom? In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with one of the hardest teachings of Jesus—loving those who have hurt us. Why does forgiveness feel so unfair? What’s the difference between God's justice and our desire for revenge? Is it enough to resist physical retaliation, or does God care about our thoughts too? And how can we love people who still seem set on doing harm?

    Why Bad Things Happen to Good People - Part 2

    In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we continue our honest conversation about suffering, evil, and the goodness of God. Why does God allow generational suffering, or pain in the lives of those who faithfully follow Him? Is persecution a blessing? Is suffering a test—or a tool for spiritual growth? And why does it seem so unfairly distributed? We explore the lives of Jeremiah, Elijah, Joseph, and Jesus—the only truly good person—who suffered willingly for our sake. We ask tough questions like: Why don’t our prayers for deliverance always get answered? Why doesn’t God punish evildoers right away? Will all suffering be addressed in eternity? Can we question God and still trust Him? 🟡 If you’ve ever struggled with these questions, you’re not alone.

    Let's Talk: Why Bad Things Happen to Good People

    Why Does God Allow Evil and Suffering? In this episode of Let’s Talk: Faith in a Modern World, we wrestle with one of the hardest questions believers and skeptics alike ask: If God is good and all-powerful, why does He allow evil, suffering, and tragedy? We explore the deep questions behind human choice, the Fall, and why love requires freedom. Why would a good God create a world where He knew pain would exist? Couldn’t He have created a perfect, pain-free world? And if He’s holy, why not just wipe us out and start over? Through real biblical examples—Joseph, Habakkuk, Nebuchadnezzar, the man born blind (John 9:1-3)—we discuss how God brings meaning out of suffering and how even evil choices can be used for good (Genesis 50:20). Is God punishing you—or is He inviting you into something deeper? 🟡 Don’t miss this heartfelt, honest conversation about pain, purpose, and hope. 📅 And be sure to join us next Wednesday as we continue our series: Why Does God Allow Bad Things to Happen to Good People? 👉 Like, Share, and Subscribe to help others navigate faith in a messy world. 📺 Check out our full channel for studies, and more videos like this—one’s on screen right now! 🌐 Visit our website for more: https://oneshepherd.org (https://oneshepherd.org/) Recommended Resources (One Shepherd Ministries receives a commission from some of the items below) 📔 Looking for a good Study Bible, check out the Thomas Nelson NKJV Study Bible: https://amzn.to/3RtXNNj⛓️ A great reference Bible for doing research: https://amzn.to/3DJdrBz🛠️ Fantastic Research & Study Tool (allowing access to a concordance of the original Hebrew & Greek along with many other tools...LOGOS: https://logos.sjv.io/o40oQE 📚 #WhyDoesGodAllowSuffering, #ChristianPodcast, #FaithInSuffering, #GodAndEvil, #ChristianFaith, #Apologetics, #PainAndPurpose, #FreeWill, #BibleTruth, #GodIsGood, #SufferingAndFaith, #JesusSaves, #TrustGod, #ChristianAnswers, #OneShepherdMinistries, #ChristianEncouragement, #SpiritualGrowth, #BibleStudy, #ChristianLife, #Genesis5020, #John9, #Habakkuk, #JosephInEgypt, #GodsPlan, #HopeInJesus, #FaithOverFear, #ChristianLiving, #GospelTruth, #PodcastForChristians, #FindingHope
