Big Words: Grace, with Ian Schweitzer and Gordon Walls
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
God tells us from the very beginning that he is holy and he calls us to be holy. He also tells us sin leads to death. Here’s the predicament our sin puts us in with God: He loves us. He’s told us of the consequences of our sin. We’ve sinned. God loves us so much yet sin has to be paid for. God could simply punish us and He would be right if He did. God could turn and go back on what He said because he loves us, but then he wouldn’t be just. God’s attributes of love and justice seem to be at odds when it comes to our condition before Him. So God figures out a way to continue to be...

Share Good News: Your Workplace is Your Mission Field
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
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...

Share Good News: Gospel Conversations
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
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...

Share Good News: Called to Go, with Bart Stone
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
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,...

In the Fire: Forgiveness, with Gary Black
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. Join us in the conversation this week with returning guest Gary...

In the Fire: Lies, Wounds and Strongholds, with Allen Connor
Locker Room - A Southland Christian Church Podcast
“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...
info_outlineThe words we speak should reflect a heart transformed by God.
Grace and truth should drive us in our conversations, whether it be with our wives, our kids, our friends, people at church, people at work, people that don’t believe what we believe, and those who aren’t fans of Christianity at all. Grace and truth, in every conversation.
Our special guests this week are two of Southland’s elders, Rob Campbell and Rob Workman.
Join us as we dive into how to speak life with our words.
DISCUSSION GUIDE
What is something you learned from the guys as they talked about the ways other men have invested in them and how they’re investing in their marriages & their kids?
Scott mentions a number of times in the Bible where the words that are said have power. God speaks creation into existence. Jesus literally speaks life into Lazarus. Jesus speaks the words “Be still!” and a storm ceases. What do these passages say about the importance of words?
Read Matthew 12:36-37. What is Jesus saying about the impact our words have?
Has there been a moment when someone has spoken life into you?
Scott and the guys talked through 4 points of how we can be better at using our words to speak life. Below are some thoughts and questions to reflect on each of these points:
(1) Bring grace and truth into every conversation.
One of the best things we can do to gauge how we use our words is to ask someone close to us what they think of the language we use. Who can you ask this week? What do you imagine they would say?
(2) Using our words to talk to people about Jesus through telling your story.
Vulnerability and authenticity lead to curiosity. When we’re talking to people who don’t follow Jesus, two of the best ways to reflect the love of Jesus to them are to be vulnerable and authentic. Is it easy for you to do these two things? What can you do to be more vulnerable or more authentic in your relationships with people?
(3) Own it when you mess up.
Who do you need to have a conversation with to own a way that you’ve messed up? Is there someone at work? Your wife? One of your kids?
If you never apologize, you cannot expect other people to apologize to you. You need to own it and take the first step in order to set the culture.
(4) Express gratitude, appreciation, and encouragement.
Encouragement means to breathe courage into people. It is easy to forget what is true. Who is one person in your life you can encourage by telling them you are thankful for or proud of them? What can you tell your wife to remind her that you love her and want to serve her? What can you tell your kid to remind them that you are proud of them? What can you tell a friend to show them you’re thankful for them?
What else from the podcast spoke to you?
What did God/Holy Spirit speak/prompt/say to you? What’s God asking you to do? What does He want to give you? What does He want you to lay down?
