Our Resolute Hope Podcast

Life in the Body of Christ – Be Patient With One Another

Patience toward others is a burden that we must bear with love.  This is impossible unless we allow Christ to do it through us.  Only His life is sufficient to accomplish this with humility and gentleness.

Life in the Body of Christ – Stop Judging One Another

Judging others seems like our favorite pastime.  It builds walls between hurting people and blinds us to our own need.  Christ’s life in us doesn’t judge others but always leaves an open path for relationship with them.

Life in the Body of Christ – Accept One Another

Acceptance is our deepest need and the most freeing thing we can experience.  When we come to Jesus Christ, He accepts us completely and makes us fully His.  Christs’ life empowers us to accept others in this same way.

Life in the Body of Christ – Be Tender-Hearted to One Another

Compassion is a rare thing in this world.  It’s Christ’s love in action, leaving the safe sidelines and entering life’s trenches to share another’s suffering.  And it’s doing as Father empowers us to bring restoration and wholeness.

 

Life in the Body of Christ – Have Equal Concern for One Another

Christ’s life empowers us to have true concern for others, without regard for things that might separate us.  Partiality fuels division among Christ-ones and undermines our oneness in Him.

Life in the Body of Christ – Submit to One Another, Serve One Another

Christ’s life empowers us to submit to others, to align ourselves willingly and joyfully under them and to lift them up.  When we focus on submission and service, the roles that often divide us tend to disappear.

Life in the Body of Christ – Be Kind to One Another

Christ’s life empowers us not just to do kind things but to be kind.  Kindness is part of our identity as Christ-ones.  It’s a Spirit-led desire to invest time in others and to treat them better than they deserve.

Life in the Body of Christ – Prefer One Another, Greet One Another

Christ's life empowers us to value and cherish one another, accepting them fully and receiving them joyfully, making sure they know they're in a place where they belong, a place where everybody knows their name.

Life in the Body of Christ – Show Humility to One Another

Christ’s life empowers us, not just to act humbly but to be humble people.  To make determined, purposeful choices that we’ll consider others as more important and empty ourselves to serve one another.

The Lonely Path of Pain – Suicide. When the Pain FEELS Too Great

Pains of life can hurt so much that suicide can seem like the only way out.  In this first of two podcasts, Frank and John discuss motives for suicide, deceptions behind those motives, and the damage to survivors.
