Walking Points Podcast: Episode 24
"That's true you, but not for me." Ever hear anyone say that? Instead of comparing and contrasting competing truth-claims, it seems today the topics of religions, worldviews, and life-philosophies more resemble a buffet table from which you get to choose the things you like and leave the things you don't. Today Ian and I discuss not only what it means to say something is true, (like, Jesus is the Way the Truth, and the Life), but we also talk about the practical implications that should show up in a changed life. Enjoy today's podcast, Dale

Walking Points Podcast: Issue 23
Why do some people become Christians and others don't? Why does Christianity seem to be relevant for some folks and not for others? Is Christianity relevant to everyone, or just a few? Should Christianity be only a private belief or should it also have public consequences? These are a few of the things Ian and I discuss in today's podcast. During the podcast, I also ask these questions: 1. Where did we come from? 2.) Who are we? 3.) What's gone wrong with the world? 4.) What can we do to fix it? 5.) Where are we going? Walking Points Questions for Reflection Before our next podcast, begin to ask yourself those questions and formulate your answers. If you're a Christian, how would you answer those questions asked by someone who was not a Christian? If you're not a Christian, how would you answer those questions asked by someone of another faith? Walking Points Podcast, Episode 21
This week's podcast is on a tough subject: forgiving ourselves. Ian and I discuss the book, How to Forgive Ourselves Totally, by R.T. Kendall. What makes letting go of guilt from the past so tough? Why do some find it easier to forgive others but not themselves? These are a few of the questions Ian and I wrestle with this week. Walking Points Podcast: Episode 20
How well and/or often do you practice the spiritual discipline of fasting? While recently studying the Sermon on the Mount, some of the men in our small group were surprised to read the words of Jesus, "when you fast..." His teaching on the subject carried with it the expectation that his followers would be practicing it. And yet, as small as the amount of Christians who regularly pray is, those who regularly fast is even smaller. Yikes! On this week's episode, Ian and I interact with Donald Whitney's great chapter on fasting from his book, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life. I think it's fair to say Ian and I were both convicted to more faithfully pursue this spiritual discipline in our lives. Whitney provides some wonderful guidance toward that end. You can order Whitney's book by clicking here. It really is a very fine book. I've used it twice with my church's men's groups. Enjoy this week's podcast, Dale Walking Points Podcast: Episode 16
This week Ian and I compare our physical health and fitness with our spiritual health and fitness. In particular, we discuss eight areas that are good to have a handle on at the beginning of the journey. And, in the event we didn't learn those things at the beginning of our walk with Christ, it's good to learn them now. The article I refer to in the podcast can be found here. Enjoy the podcast.
