What is Hell and Why Did God Make It?
“How could a loving God ever send anyone to Hell?” Chances are, you’ve heard someone ask that question when sharing the bad news part of The Gospel. The reality is, God doesn’t send anyone there. In today’s edition of the Broad and Narrow Podcast, Pastor Tom talks about the purpose of Hell, why God created it, and why souls end up there.

What is Judgement?
Fair is fair, right? Well, that would depend on who’s setting the standard, and fair doesn’t always mean a desirable outcome, especially when it comes to justice. In today’s discussion, Pastor Tom will help us better understand judgment from a biblical perspective and why God has to judge in the first place.

Why Are Young People Leaving the Evangelical Church for Orthodoxy?
Many of us fall into the trap of measuring someone’s or something’s success at face value.

What is Church Hurt and How is it Caused?
No matter how much we might try to avoid confrontation, disagreement, or hurt in life, they’re unfortunately guaranteed. While many of them are easy to get over and move on, some of them can put us into a rather unhealthy state of mind. In today’s discussion, Pastor Tom reflects on the importance of leaning on the Lord during trying times and asking the Spirit to guide you on how to grow from them.

What is the church and its purpose?
One of the interesting things about humanity is just how different each society can be. In fact, it’s probably because of such differences that we have so many different denominations of the Church. That being said, it’s important that the true purpose of the Church isn’t lost on us. In today’s discussion, Pastor Tom will reflect on the Church, what its purpose is, and how we can live it out as believers in Christ.

What Does it Mean to Seek First the Kingdom of God? Part 2
Chances are you’ve seen your fair share of “NOTW” bumper stickers in traffic when commuting to and fro.

What Does it Mean to Seek First the Kingdom of God? Part 1
While it’s perfectly normal, as well as healthy, to have concerns, it’s important that we don’t let them devolve into worry. In fact, the Bible actually tells us repeatedly, “do not worry” and “do not fear.” What is it that you find yourself worrying about? In today’s discussion, Pastor Tom will emphasize the importance of seeking God’s Kingdom above all else, which is a tried-and-true way to put your worries at ease!

Replacement Theology Why or Why Not?
Anyone who is even remotely familiar with geopolitics would be hard-pressed to make an argument against the relevance of modern-day Israel; in fact, any attempt to make such an argument simply cannot withstand the scrutiny of Scripture. In today’s discussion, Pastor Pete will emphasize how important it is that we, as believers, recognize God’s work in the nation of Israel and be wary of false doctrines.

What does it mean to be a Christian?
Many of us are all too familiar with the verse from the Epistle of James, “even the demons believe-and tremble.” This, of course, is in the context of simple belief, versus actual faith in The Son of God. As believers in Christ, it’s important that we reflect on whether or not we’re simply believing or living out a tried and true faith. In today’s discussion, Pastor Pete reflects on what it means to be a Christian and what that looks like in everyday life.

What is Mercy?
You can’t have a positive without a negative, just as you can’t have a negative without a positive. When it comes to the Gospel, we must understand the negative before we are truly capable of understanding the positive. In today’s edition of the Broad and Narrow podcast, Pastor Tom discusses the harmonious nature of mercy, grace, and judgment. After listening to this discussion, you’ll be sure to have a better understanding of God’s mercy.

What is Grace?
What a powerful example of what grace actually is. To think of grace as something as simple as a second chance completely undermines just how good and gracious God truly is. While we might give second chances to those around us, God is constantly being gracious towards us with every failure, big and small. In today’s episode, Pastor Tom gives us a better understanding of the grace we receive from God on a moment-by-moment basis.

How do we find this Narrow Road?
Many of us are all too familiar with the narrow perspective that Christianity is simply a list of do’s and don’t’s. Unfortunately, we as believers can adopt this mindset ourselves and end up falling into the trap of legalism if we’re not careful. In today’s discussion, Pastor Tom reflects on what it means to find and follow the narrow road mentioned by Jesus. In today’s episode, you’ll gain a better understanding of the tension we face as believers who have free will, but are also called to deny ourselves.

What Does This Title Mean?
What an interesting way to look at day-to-day life as a believer! In today’s hustle and bustle nature of life, it can be all too easy to approach it with narrow blinders, so to speak. In fact, many of us take each day on an hour-by-hour basis, which doesn’t leave much room for eternity at all. In today’s episode of The Broad and Narrow Podcast, Pastor Tom will discuss the shift from the temporal to an eternal mindset when becoming a believer. He’ll also be reflecting on what it means and looks like to be a disciple of Jesus in our modern world.
