Welcome to the Practicology Podcast

Putting Theology Into Practice

There’s enough disorder in life without disconnecting what you believe from how you live. To make an impact, your faith must be integrated. The Practicology Podcast is bridging the gap between Scripture and every day life because the Bible belongs not only beside the stack of commentaries but also next to the pile of dirty dishes.

We want to help you connect glorious truth about God to the stubborn realities of life — what could be more exciting?

Doubt, Gospel, Love

Just because you’re a Christian doesn’t mean you’re immune from doubting God’s love. And an insufficient grasp of God’s love for us can lead to a host of other problems in our walk with the Lord. Malachi 1:1-5 can help. There we discover God’s burden to reassure us of his love, and to do so by giving us a pair of gospel contact lenses. Will you put in your gospel contacts?

Scriptures Referenced:
Malachi 1:1-5; Eph 3:14-19; Romans 5:5-8

After the Lord Jesus was exalted to Heaven, he created something new and wonderful – the Church. And since Christ has torn down the wall of hostility between Jews & Gentiles, we should not be rebuilding walls based on racial and ethnic differences. Have you searched your own heart for this sin lately?
