In this episode, Tim and Matt talk about the importance of biblical decision making and why being risk averse is not what the Bible prescribes when making big decisions. The goal is obedience, and sometimes that obedience comes with a risk. God is faithful, so we must be faithful to follow His guidance.

In this episode, Tim and Matt talk about the real possibility that kids are being raised in an equally hostile culture like Babylon's. Parents should decide in their hearts to swim against the current of culture and look for others doing the same with the intent to pass this lesson on to their kids. It will get awkward at times, but believers must obey God rather than man.

The Bible is clear: there is one way to God. There is no work we can do to earn our way to Heaven, so God made that way possible through Jesus. In this episode, Matt and Tim talk about how there are many things that will try and take believers' eyes away from God, but those evil works are evident. Taking the narrow path of life is difficult, it goes against what most people do, and it does not always seem like the best way. However, when we follow Jesus with all of our hearts, He gives peace and life everlasting.

What does it mean to ask God for things? A lot of people think it is focused on improving yourself or gaining certain things, but Matt and Tim want to bring a different perspective. God blesses believers so that they may be a blessing to others. In fact, when we treat others the way we want to be treated, Jesus said that this is the main focus of the Law and the Prophets! Listen to how God's blessings are not meant for us to hold on to but pass along for His glory and the good of others.
