Walking Points Podcast, Episode 28
This week Ian and I begin a discussion on what it means to be a peacemaker in the world in which we live. Conflict seems to be everywhere - at home, work, in politics, and even in the church. What is the peace week seek? What does it look like in our lives? From where does it come? And how can those who follow Christ serve as the peacemakers he says we are? Those are a few of the questions we begin to tackle in this week's episode of Walking Points.

Walking Points Podcast: Episode 27
"Love means never having to say you're sorry." Some of the worst movie advice ever. We can do much better than that. In fact... we have to if we're going to have healthy and godly relationships. This week Ian and I discuss the 7 A's of Confession. The "7 A's" we discuss come from Peace Maker Ministries and this blog post by Paul Tautges. Thanks for listening, Dale Walking Points Podcast: Episode 26
This week Ian and I conclude our discussion on raising sons. I think it's our best podcast to date. You can be judge of that. Also, we took our first stab at uploading the podcast so you could download it and listen to it later at your convenience, but our first attempt failed. We'll try to get it right for our next one. Here are the two articles I reference in the podcast... 1. 10 Things Dads Can Do to Fight Hard for Their Sons by Brooke McGlothlin at Crosswalk.com 2. How to Help Your Son Succeed in Life by Whitney Hopler at Crosswalk.com Walking Points Podcast: Episode 25
This week Ian and I begin a discussion on the who, what, when, where, why, and how of raising sons. 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.

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? No, I'm not really vacationing in paradise. But I am on vacation. Ian and I will be back on Thursday, August 18th for our next podcast. Until then, enjoy the archives below.
See you soon, Dale Walking Points Podcast: Episode 22
Where did I come from? Why am I here? What happens after I die? Why is there pain and suffering in the world? Does God exist? Those are deep and meaningful "worldview" questions that many people ask every day. Do you know how to help a person answer them? Others are more skeptical and even antagonistic toward your faith. Would you know how to respond to them when they start in with their cross examination of your faith? In this week's episode, Ian and I barely scratch the surface in introducing the topic of Christian Apologetics (which simply means, "defense" of the Christian faith). This is not a highbrow discussion about philosophical matters. Instead, this is a discussion for every Christian. In this episode I mention a post I wrote a while back which lists some of my favorite Apologetics Websites. Click the link to check it out. I have also posted about two people I mention in this podcast. Francis Schaeffer and C.S. Lewis. Click those links if you would like to learn more about them. Thanks for listening. If you have any questions or comments, please share them in the comments below. Blessings, Dale PS - I couldn't resist using the picture at the top of the post. 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 |
