No matter what spiritual or cultural issue you face, the answer is to always share the truth of God and apply it to your life. That is exactly what co-hosts Jordan Chamblee and Cedra Sartin seek to do every week on Share Truth Apply Scripture, as they discuss a wide range of topics that concern young believers in today’s world. Listen on American Family Radio or online through the podcast.
Cortney Sargent joins Wesley and Teddy to discuss how we can apply the truths of the gospel to the way we work, the way we interact with coworkers, even how it can apply to our schedules (other than being extremely grateful for wonderful tools such as Google calendar).
The trio also discuss Cortney's conference Up Together, which Engage will be sponsoring.
The gospel has implications for the believer and the unbeliever alike. For the unbeliever, the gospel is for salvation. For the Christian, it is for sanctification. Each of us are in as much need of the gospel today as the day we entered a relationship with Jesus.
Wesley and Teddy discuss this fact and how it applies to their everyday lives.
There is a reason most marriage vows include the phrase, "for better or for worse." Good times will come. Bad times will come. But in both times, and all the times in between, marriage is an illustration of the gospel.
But how does the love of God apply when one of the worst tragedies imaginable hits a marriage? How does a couple apply the gospel when their marriage is wrecked by a miscarriage? Engage writer Ashley Gillespie discusses the deep, hurtful, and hopeful truths in this episode.
From the time of creation, marriage has been one example of God's love for mankind. The covenant commitment, the two beings becoming one flesh, all the aspects of these relationship on earth point to an eternal reality: the gospel.
Wesley and Teddy draw truths from Scripture on how pursuing Jesus is the best way to pursue your spouse, and how much we all need the gospel to have a healthy marriage.
