This “problem of evil” plagues a lot of people’s minds if they’ve never taken the time to consider it. Whether you have a friend asking this question of you, or whether you’ve experienced something deeply painful that has you doubting God, it’s an understandable and pertinent question.

In this episode, we talk about Christian gifts, and the egos that often trail behind. Within Christian culture, people are gifted with such a variety of things. Whether we’re gifted with something more public, like speaking, teaching or leading worship. Or, whether we’re gifted with more behind-the-scenes skills like prophetic prayer, pastoral care, catalytic vision, feeding a group of 50, or setting up lights in the production booth. In church, it can feel like you have to have something to offer. It’s easy to build your worth and pride around what you’re bringing to the table. How do we balance the need to humbly offer our talents with the egos that often creep in and take hold? Or, even worse, the jealousy of someone else’s talent and recognition?…

For most of us, legalism has an icky, loveless, judgemental undertone. We think of legalism as the opposite of freedom and the opposite of the grace and mercy Jesus embodies. But, most people wouldn’t call themselves legalistic. Even among Christians, everyone has different boundaries and lines they draw around their habits, life values, and mode of operating. So, how do we define legalism so that we don’t become modern-day Pharisees?

Depression. So many of us struggle with different levels of depression. Silently, we walk around dealing with the shame, guilt, and isolation that come with depression’s stigma. Despite the fact that it affects millions of people, many of those within the Christian church, we act like there’s a lack of faith or depth in someone’s relationships with God if they’re struggling with the deep sadness that comes with this kind of condition.
