Rocks Piles and Your Depression (Part 2) | Embracing Grace
Knowing why we're depressed doesn't immediately remove the pain of depression. For many, depression can linger far longer than we expect it to, and certainly much longer than we'd prefer. So as we're putting off the sin that has led to things like hopelessness, despair, or fear... what do we do about those very real feelings that may linger?This episode begins a short "mini series" that will discuss a few ways we can respond to our depression in a way that is biblically faithful, true, and Christ-oriented. For starters... let's discuss how looking at rocks can help.

Depression, Suicide, and Suffering (Part 1) | Embracing Grace #7
It's not surprising that those suffering from chronic pain are more likely to experience depression and thoughts of suicide. As Christians, how are we supposed to think about these things? Should we understand depression differently than the world does? Does the Bible offer any hope, or are we merely victims of biology?  This episode is an honest, even painful, look at how I've walked through depression and suicidal thoughts in my life, and how God's word can guide us into not only understanding why we experience these things, but what we can do about them.

Why Pray If God Is Sovereign? | Embracing Grace #5
About This EpisodeWhy does a sovereign God tell us to pray? He knows what we need, does what He pleases, and can't be changed by human manipulation. If we're honest, sometimes it can seem like prayer is pointless, and that makes it even more difficult to "pray without ceasing." In this episode, I explore why prayer isn't our way of changing God's will, but His way of changing ours.  Timestamps:00:00 Intro and the "problem" of prayer7:25 Understanding whom we pray to10:22 3 things prayer accomplishes in Christians11:03 #1 Prayer acknowledges that God is God12:33 #2 Prayer demonstrates our trust in God being God20:11 #3 Prayer asks God to act as God54:19 Reminder why my content isn't short!54:48 Summarizing this discussion Book mentioned:"Sovereignty of God" by AW Pink Scripture Used:Matthew 6:8bPsalm 115:31 John 5:14-15James 4:1-32 Corinthians 12:8-9Psalm 50:12-15Jeremiah 29:11-14Romans 8:28-291 Thessalonians 4:3 Support My Work • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links): • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags#Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

Satan the... Synecdoche? | Understanding Satan #7
If Satan's very nature makes him incapable of things like whispering lies into our minds or personally attacking thousands of people at once, what do we make of the verses that imply we need to watch out for his attacks? This episode digs in to a part of language we use every day that can help us better distinguish between the being known as Satan and the world system he's responsible for. Scripture Used: Matthew 4:13-16; Isaiah 9:1-7; Matthew 27:46; Psalm 22; Matthew 12:22-26; 1 Thessalonians 2:18; Acts 7:1-9; 1 Corinthians 7:5; James 4:1-10; James 1:13-14; James 3:14-16 Satan Series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL5oAvNLE5030_XWDG9oWCKfB4aMbXMUbh  Song of Songs for Singles: https://a.co/d/cF5K9Jf Theology with Chris Lenoir: https://youtube.com/@theologywithchrislenoir?si=s2uMfl4BpLB2cA-O Thinklings Podcast: https://thinklingspodcast.com/category/podcast/ Timestamps:00:00 Intro6:47 Modern synecdoches9:26 Biblical synecdoches25:38 Satan as a synecdoche Support My Work • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links): • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags#Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

Bible Reading While Suffering | Embracing Grace #4
When suffering, sometimes we go into "survival mode" and set aside may important things in our lives. Sometimes, we wonder if we should bother reading the Bible when it's too difficult. This episode helps you think through how we should understand the effects of suffering on our Bible reading, how to be on guard against the deceptiveness of our flesh, and how to rejoice in giving God everything we have in our daily devotions (especially when we don't have much to give).  Scripture Used: Psalm 34 Conscience book: https://a.co/d/bGNjmOB Support My Work • Monthly Support: https://www.Patreon.com/OnwardintheFaith • One-Time Donations: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/OnwardintheFaith | https://account.venmo.com/u/Ray-Burns-6 Check Out My Devotionals on Amazon (affiliate links): • 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://amzn.to/4kGDDgE • 25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://amzn.to/41GuqfK Hashtags#Christianity #Theology #Faith #Pain #Suffering #ChronicPain Music Credits • YouTube Outro Music by UNIVERSFIELD from Pixabay • Podcast Outro Music by LesFM from Pixabay

Is It Wrong to Want Healing? | Embracing Grace #3
If we believe in a good and sovereign God, are we wrong to want Him to heal us? Can we over-emphasize our desire to be healed? How can we find a good balance?

God Commands Holiness, Not Healthiness | Embracing Grace #2
You'll often hear me say "God doesn't call us to be healthy, but He does call us to be holy." I know this will bother some people, especially those who have been exposed to the Prosperity Gospel. This episode focuses on what I've learned from God's word that makes me want sufferers to understand and embrace this important truth so that they can more fully glorify God, even in their pain.

How We Reacted to the Divine Council Worldview
The Divine Council Worldview doesn't just affect how we read the Bible; it changes our lives. So why do so many people (including me!) react so poorly when we first encounter it? And does it really matter if we embrace it?

About This Video How do we read and study the Bible? What's the difference between the two? Are there things we should avoid when reading the Bible? This episode takes a first step in exploring Systematic Theology. If we want to have a biblical worldview, we must know what the Bible says and means. That means we must read the Bible for what it is: a divinely inspired historical document.

This will walk you through how I study, showing you the questions I ask and the answers I arrive at. I hope this study makes you delight in God's word and encourages you to dig deeper in your own Bible study time!   In these early verses, we get familiar with the setting, writer, and audience before spending a lot of time focusing on a term that is central to everything Peter is about to say - what it means to their identity, obedience, and life as God's "chosen."   Full image of this study + map: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1voBM-aQfv78UWHp3ZyyIFuwK3I8lTzSU?usp=sharing How to Study Theology for Yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qpgSFSigBc How to Study Theology in Community: https://youtu.be/j-r5VCDsGs4?si=Y1f_WeIq78UtXLmv   00:00 Introducing the series 6:15 Today's passage 8:28 "Peter" 12:25 "Apostle" 15:30 "Exiles" 17:20 A Jewish audience? 22:36 A Gentile audience? 25:44 Comfort for the exiles 29:10 "Those" 30:48 "Chosen" - Grammar and the Trinity's work 41:11 "to the obedience of Jesus Christ" 43:07 "to the obedience of the sprinkling of His blood" 51:39 "Chosen" the foundation of this letter 59:10 Trinitarian work of salvation 1:00:38 "Grace and peace" 1:01:55 Study for the full meaning 1:10:44 Closing thoughts on the text 1:15:52 Wrap up   Get my books from Amazon! 40 Moments From Christ's Final Days: https://a.co/2N9hWtH25 Days of Christ in the Old Testament: https://a.co/0zoq8IH   Outro music by LesFM from Pixabay
