The goal of this podcast is to cover spiritual topics in an informal setting. These are conversations to help others gain confidence in their personal studies.

Lord, teach us to be like you. 11/02/2020

Lord, teach us to be like you. Three friends bring this season to a close by talking about how to be more like Jesus. Ultimately to be more like Jesus, one has to become a servant. As the “Servant Song” so beautifully states, “Make me a servant, Just like Your Son. For He was a servant, Please make me one. Make me a servant, Do what You must do. To make me a servant, Make me like You.” Thank you for listening, and God bless! /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/16631876

Potato Clips: You Can Have Peace. 10/26/2020

Potato Clips: You Can Have Peace. Jesus tells His disciples that they can have joy and real peace because of Him. He says this when He’s telling them He will be taken and killed. Where is the peace if He won’t be around anymore? The resurrection and Jesus victory is our peace. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/16543838

Potato Clips: Digging Deep 10/19/2020

Potato Clips: Digging Deep What do you think it means to dig deep as a Christian? It might not sound glamorous, but Jesus gives two things He wants people to do: hear Him and do what He says. That’s digging deep to build on the right foundation. Let’s dig deep and follow Jesus.

Lord, teach us to be fruitful. 10/12/2020

Lord, teach us to be fruitful. Luke 6 speaks of a tree and it's fruit. It appears one’s heart and the type of fruit one bears are connected. In this episode Joshua Lewis explains the two, and challenges us all to focus on what type of fruit we are producing.

Potato Clips: God Watches Over You 10/05/2020

Potato Clips: God Watches Over You God watches over us. If you believe in God, you know that is true, but how does that make you feel? There is comfort and peace and guidance with God watching over us. Let’s see what Proverbs tells us we should do so God guides us and watches over us.

Lord, teach us to not doubt. 09/28/2020

Lord, teach us to not doubt. If we are honest with ourselves many of us battle doubt. It’s comforting to know even the ones closest to our Lord battled doubt, and that they were able to overcome it. In this episode Phillip Martin walks us through Matthew 14, where Jesus walks on the water. So many rich lessons are found in the text.

Potato Clips: Serving by Forgiving 09/21/2020

Potato Clips: Serving by Forgiving One way we can serve that we might not think of as serving is forgiveness. In 2 Corinthians 2, Paul tells the Christians to forgive, comfort and make their love known for someone that has repented. How willing are you to forgive a friend or enemy? How can you actively show your love for them when they seek forgiveness? /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/16087502

Lord, teach us to serve one another. 09/14/2020

Lord, teach us to serve one another. Our Lord served regardless of challenges. He served with humility and grace. There are so many beautiful examples of that. One of those examples is found in the gospel of John where Jesus washed the disciples feet. In this episode Reagan McClenny breaks down the first seventeen verses of John 13. Our prayer is this episode prompts action in service to one another. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15997235

Potato Clips: Finding Comfort in the Same God. 09/07/2020

Potato Clips: Finding Comfort in the Same God. Before God calls Moses to return to Egypt and lead His people out of slavery and into the promised land, there’s some special things Exodus 2 says. God hears their prayers, remembers His covenant, sees them and knows them. When we go through hardship, we should know and remember that our God is the same God from Exodus. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15909773

Lord, teach us to not be comfortable. 08/31/2020

Lord, teach us to not be comfortable. Being comfortable can be a wonderful thing. Being spiritually comfortable, however, should scare us. It was once said that Jesus came to this earth to, “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” This week’s episode is challenging, but our hope is it becomes empowering. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15813941

Potato Clips: Being a good soldier. 08/24/2020

Potato Clips: Being a good soldier. The idea of being a soldier of Christ might be familiar to most Christians because of songs we know or scriptures like Ephesians 6 and the armor of God. In 2 Timothy 2:3-4, Paul tells Timothy to be a good soldier and not let “civilian pursuits” distract him as a soldier. There are so many “civilian pursuits” that can distract us, but let’s be good soldiers, support our fellow soldiers in battle and not let these earthly things take attention away from our service to God. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15726839

Lord, teach us to not be divided. 08/17/2020

Lord, teach us to not be divided. If we are not careful, the same topics that cause discouragement (that were discussed in episode 9) can cause us to be divided. On this episode, Jordan Shouse breaks down Mark 9, and points out how to beat a divisive mindset. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15634808

Potato Clips: Just a cup of cold water. 08/10/2020

Potato Clips: Just a cup of cold water. In Matthew 10 Jesus tells His disciples they should provide “even a cup of cold water” to other disciples. We live in a time where many, if not most, are struggling or discouraged in ways we can’t even understand. Serving each other in big ways and small ways is so important. Even if it’s as simple as a cup of cold water. We can do that by serving in kindness and by showing love to each other. Just like Jesus says and did. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15546596

Lord, teach us to not be discouraged. 08/03/2020

Lord, teach us to not be discouraged. Discouragement. One emotion we have gotten accustomed to lately. So many events have prompted this emotion. COVID-19. Politics. Racism. Pandemic. All of which are disheartening.It can be helpful to remember even our heroes of faith felt this type of emotion. In this episode Jeremy Dehut walks us through Matthew 11 where Jesus ultimately encourages a discouraged John the Baptist. Jeremy also gives tools that are helpful in overcoming discouragement. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15452069

Potato Clips: Giving all for the kingdom. 07/27/2020

Potato Clips: Giving all for the kingdom. Jesus describes our response to finding the kingdom in an extreme way. We aren’t just trading in some good things for a great thing. We’re supposed to sell it all to gain the kingdom. Sell it, give it up and leave it behind all for the kingdom. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15362237

Lord, tell us a parable. 07/20/2020

Lord, tell us a parable. One of our Lord’s favorite ways to teach was to do so through sharing parables. In Matthew 13 Jesus is doing just that. Phil Robertson helps break down parables and how applicable chapter 13 is for us. Subscribe, Rate, and Review to support this podcast. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15276482

Potato Clips: Tell people what you know. 07/13/2020

Potato Clips: Tell people what you know. If you are going to talk to someone about Jesus—where would you start? For some of us deciding where to “start” is difficult. In the gospel of Mark Jesus heals a demon possessed man. Jesus's instructions to the man is the answer to our initial question. Mark 5:19 “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” You may not be a bible scholar or a preacher, but you can tell everyone you know how much the Lord has done for you. So start the /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15181502

Lord, teach us to build relationships. 07/06/2020

Lord, teach us to build relationships. There are so many examples of beautiful relationships within the Bible. Relationships are important. In general, building relationships can be challenging, but can also be rewarding. Josh interviews David Bunting on how to build relationships with others. David shares not only how to build a relationship with someone, but how to share Jesus with them along the way. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15095783

Potato Clips: Taking someone by the hand. 06/29/2020

Potato Clips: Taking someone by the hand. Jesus takes a blind man by the hand to heal him in Mark 8. Who do you know that needs some kind of “healing” that only Jesus provides? Will you take them by the hand and lead them? /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/15002411

Lord, teach us to see. 06/22/2020

Lord, teach us to see. Wilson Adams points us to the Gospel of Mark where Jesus heals a blind man. Restoring one man’s vision opened the eyes of many others. Oh to see the way Jesus would have us to. Our prayer is this discussion helps you see more clearly. God Bless! /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/14910578

Potato Clips: Friends of Jesus 06/15/2020

Potato Clips: Friends of Jesus In our first Potato Clip, Blake Edwards takes a quick look at John 15:15. Jesus calls the disciples friends here. It looks like He has called them servants previously. How did they become more than a servant? Find that out by listening to this week’s Potato Clip of the week. /episode/index/show/stopbeingapewpotato/id/14821244

Heaven 04/22/2019

Heaven With the help of Bill Sanchez we are discussing what the Bible says about heaven. While there is a lot about the details of heaven we have questions about, we can know the things that truly matter. Namely, that it is a place where we will have eternal purpose in serving our God on his throne. And those who find that thought appealing are the ones who will start serving him on earth while we wait for heaven.
