People are so worried that their Christian life is Mediocre that they'll do anything to improve it. So Christian Self Help books are all the rage, iPods and iPhones are filled to the last bit of ram with Sermons and teaching Mp3s, and everyone goes here and there searching for that magic ingredient that will make the Christian life really take off.

Bill Marallo of Adoptions Services joins us to talk about "re-parenting", and we of course talk about in terms of God re-parenting us. A lot of people think of "sanctification" in a lot of weird ways, but try listening to this program for a better perspective.

So the person you're witnessing to doesn't believe in God or Hell. What do you do? You could try to make him feel guilty under the law, but he doesn't believe in any of that. Now what? On Radical Grace Radio we talk about what you could do besides just give up.

The most common way of evangelizing these days is to ask this question of people: If you were to die tonight, where would spend eternity. In this show we submit to you that this is categorically the wrong method of persuasion. In fact, I personally think that the approach of asking "where will you spend eternity" does nothing but appeal to our narcisim. But this is exactly the problem. We've been trained by the world to think of things in terms of how it benefits us, how it impacts our lives, so much so that any other way of thinking is deemed as backwards and irrelevant. But how do you begin to offer a corrective to this viewpoint?

Do those words bore you? "He is Risen!" I was reading an article that was Newsweek Magazine and in the Huffington Post where the Author (More about him next week) keeps referring to Jesus as though he's not around anymore. "He was" and "If he were here"... even though this guy swears he believes in Jesus' divinity and the Resurrection he keeps talking about Jesus as though he were dead. |

Jeffrey Dahmer died in Christ. A good portion of the church does not believe this. And that's sad. But God's grace is that disturbing. Really, truly disturbing. God's grace is for the wicked. You. Me. Jeffrey Dahmer. And Pastor Roy Ratcliff, who heard Dahmer's confession and baptised him into Christ. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Ratcliff Visit Matthew Pancake's Facebook http://www.facebook.com/matthew.pancake Visit Pastor Gary Held's Facebook http://www.facebook.com/garyheld Visit our Website

Each and everyone one of us is guaranteed to experience the death of someone we love in our lifetimes. You'd have to be a literal Scrooge who hated everyone to not be moved at the news of the death of a parent, a child, a friend... In this edition of Radical Grace Radio we offer comfort from a surprising place in the Bible: The Parable of the Wedding Banquet in Matthew's Gospel.

On this edition of Radical Grace Radio we start off with, and never really get off of, the topic of the recent tornado touchdowns and the lives that have been touched by the devastation. What are Christians to think about all of this? Is God angry at us and punishing us? Again?
