Today on the the podcast, we’re going to talk about how we can light up the darkness in a place where we spend at least 8 hours a day, 5-days a week: our work. Some of us are fortunate to work in a place where we can freely proclaim our faith. But for many of us listening, that may not be the case. You may have some other people you work with who are Christ-followers, but for the most part you know every day when you walk in, you’re walking into an environment resistant or hostile to Jesus. You’re playing an away game. Today’s conversation with our three guests—Matt Hall, Yancey...

Evangelism simply means to share good news. It’s the Greek word gospelize: to spread good news. It means to share, tell, proclaim and make known. Most of us are already good at it…we just don’t realize it. We share good news all the time without even thinking about it. We share stuff that we like, that has worked or something good that we’ve experienced all the time. We share news about sports, movies we’ve seen, books we’ve read or podcasts we’ve listened to. We just need to apply this to our own stories and share what Jesus has done for us with those around us. Today’s on the...

After the resurrection Jesus gives the disciples some daunting marching orders. It’s called the Great Commission—not the great suggestion!—Jesus commanded them and He’s commanding us to embody this mission. Men, if you’re walking with Jesus, you’ve got to know the Great Commission isn’t for someone else. It’s for you. God’s put a calling on your life. He’s calling you to light up the darkness and share the good news, the greatest news with those that God puts in your life. There's a lot of us who think the Great Commission is for the paid professionals, the church staff,...

Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast

Locker Room listeners: we truly believe God wants to help us in the middle of our pain.  Whatever it is you’ve experienced. He wants to draw close. The Holy Spirit wants to comfort, heal and restore whatever it is that has caused you so much pain. Jesus wants to give you the grace and  strength as you make the decision to forgive. In this episode, we want to make sure we unpack what forgiveness is, what it’s not, and what it looks like when we make that call—the difference between forgiveness and reconciliation.

“We truly live at the mercy of our ideas.” —Dallas Willard. The ideas we believe in our minds and then let into our lives give shape to the trajectory of our souls. They shape how we live and who we become. No one talks more to you than you do! Most men would never let another man talk to them the way that they talk to themselves. You wouldn’t be friends with them! You might even fight them! Men, we’ve got to stop all this brutal talk and inner dialogue. Shut that guy up! Our guest this week on the podcast is Christian counselor Allen Connor. Allen has been in ministry and counseling...

Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast

Purity is a battle for most every man. It’s a consistent battle. We are constantly at war against the enemy, our own flesh. We have to stay vigilant in guarding our eyes, mind and heart because the enemy is serious about taking men out. Purity is a big weapon that he uses to destroy the work of God in men, marriages and families. We’re praying this episode will be helpful not only for you, but also for your middle and high school students—even your daughters. You know your kids and their maturity level. Listen to it and then discern if they’re ready for it. DISCUSSION GUIDE Opening...

Sometimes when we bring our pain and circumstances before God—if we don’t see results or quick fixes to our lives instantaneously—we just give up. Or we forget that we’ve journeyed off the path for years or even decades and we think we can microwave it and just instantly be better, healed or whole.

Jesus isn’t looking for you to give him the one thing that’s keeping you up at night—He wants you. He wants everything. He wants your heart. He wants all of you. He wants to build our faith. He wants to build our relationship with Him.

This week on the podcast, Scott sits down with our guests Mike Allen and Neil Gregory to unpack a conversation Jesus had with a man at a pool, when he asked, “Do you want to get well?”
