Christians and Civic Engagement - Bret Hyder

Northwestern's aim is to develop Christian leaders in the home, church, community and world.  Jeremiah 24 tells us--as believers--to seek the prosperity of our communities.  This gives a biblical justification for civic engagement.  In this episode, Bret Hyder shares opportunities for Christians to engage on a more meaningful level.  

UNWavering Grace - Ep 9 - Chris Asmus

Pastor Chris speaks from Galatians 2 when Paul speaks out against Peter for being hypocritical about the Gospel that is so freely given through Justification.

UNWavering Grace - Ep 8 - Chris Asmus

Pastor Chris emboldens us to embrace these years of preparation.  Paul prepared 14 years---how much can we learn about Christ when we embrace where we're at!

AJ Swoboda is a nationally-renowned speaker, podcaster and author from Eugene, Oregon.  He claims that Jesus "ruined his life" (in a good way) by getting into all of the facets of his life.  "The sign that grace is working in your life is when you give permission to let Jesus talk to you about the hard stuff."
