Clarity Podcast

I’m this episode, Rich and Ruben conclude their series on freedom in Christ and tie their whole freedom discussion together as they show what freedom has to do with the sins we may still commit once we are free. Tune in as they share a refreshing picture of how Jesus sees us.

For too many of us, shame and doubt have been the starting point of our spiritual experience. In this episode Rich and Ruben discuss the role of confession in the lives of those who claim freedom in Christ.

Rich and Ruben have spent several episodes discussing concepts, but in this episode they invite you to join them as they focus on what receiving God’s reality ( actual reality) looks like in our thought life.

Is Faith a muscle? A creed? In this episode Rich and Ruben will discuss Faith as an acceptance of reality.

I’m this episode, Rich and Ruben build off our last episode, sharing examples of issues that they see differently now that they see salvation, God, and ourselves differently. Feel free to join us for the journey.

“ People don’t change.” Responding to that statement with “but Jesus can” is helpful, but not the whole story. In this episode we discuss the motivation and process that scripture shows us will lead to a new heart, and not just “better” performance.

The word “sin” has a lot of baggage. Join Rich and Ruben as they seek a biblically informed and relationally appropriate understanding of sin and forgiveness.

What is the goal of Christianity? Is it going to heaven, and not hell? Is it to stop sinning and start winning? In this episode we discuss how things changed for us when we gave God’s love and reunion with him a more central role in our faith motivations.

A lot has changed since the last episode of Clarity. Tune in as Rich and Ruben update you on what has been going on in their lives and an idea that has transformed them in the last year: freedom.

This week, Rich and Ruben define “anxiety”, discuss their emotional health journeys, and bust a myth or two about “being anxious” that they previously thought the Bible taught.

Bible prophecy can often come across as a point of interest for easily enthused tin-foil hat wearers. This week, Ruben and Rich discuss how that association has come to be, while sharing an interpretation of Jesus’ words in Matthew 24 that has given them hope in these end times.

Much of Christianity today fails to represent the character, way, and teaching of it’s namesake. This betrayal by a majority of the “faith” was predicted in Scripture. If you don’t like the result of this falling away, it’s not just you, Jesus agrees. Join us this week as we talk about how this idea has shaped how we think and live.

We’re back! After a long hiatus Rich and Ruben discuss nostalgia, change aversion, and more. This week, we realize that while we face changes that we have no choice in, we have the opportunity out to choose the change we have needed all along.

“Judgement.” Yikes! Not the kind of thing you likely look forward to, or y’all about over supper. Yet David begged God for Him to judge him?! Join Rich and Ruben and encounter a picture of God as judge that is worth believing in every way.

“God”. What did you picture or think of when you read that three letter word? A building where people worship Him? A single, old, white bearded man on an ornate throne all alone? Join Rich and Ruben as they share about the kind of God who made male and female in His image.

Our “Clear Truths” series kicks off as Ruben and Rich discuss the realization that everyone has a picture of God that’s shapes how they see things and a way of seeing things that shapes their picture of God.

In this follow up to their purpose episode, Rich and Ruben process what it means to have an individual meaning and life purpose. Here are the six questions they talk through in order to develop a personal calling statement, for your own personal reflection:  Take these question and use 30 minutes to discover what Jesus is calling you to do 1. What would you take a 50% salary cut and still do? OR What would you do for free?  2. What did you love to do as a child?[it can look more grown up now]  3. Think back in your life to the last time your day flew by and you lost track of time? 4. What breaks your heart the most? 5. What barriers are currently stopping you from living out your calling? [or getting in the way]  6. What changes do you have to make to use the gifts God has given you to their maximum impact?
