What type of rock do you feel that you are?
If you had to decipher what parts of your faith are the different types of rock igneous metamorphic or sedimentary what would you say? #faithandscipodcastI look forward to all of your feedback,Tyler BublitzMusicMarch On by Silent PartnerPorches and Universes by Puddle of InfinitySocial MediaTwitter: @FaithandSciPod  References:

Take an honest look at yourself, and pause for a moment. Where are you blind in your life?

8-9-2020 - The Need for Doubt in Science and Faith!

The readings for this week are 1 Kings 19:9-18, ( or Genesis 37:1-4, 12-28) Psalm 85:8-13, Romans 10:5-15, and Matthew 14:22-33. This week we look at how we need faith like Peter to step out of the boat, but we easily become distracted and need a savior.  This isn't that much different than being caught up in the data in an experiment and needing someone to come and show how we have overlooked things in a study.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:
Have you thought about the need for healthy doubt?
Are you keeping your eyes fixated on Jesus? #faithandscipodcast

Trusting By Gerhard Frost:Our five birth trees are locked in icy embrace,their branches bent almost to the ground.I wonder, will they ever raiseagain their weighted arms?There are such winter momentsin a lifetime of faithwhen no bird sings, heavy momentsof menacing despair.But the birches will rise againbecause they are birches.So faith bends too but doesn't break,for trusting One who is trustworthykeeps faith from falteringwhen no one can explain.

The readings for this week are Isaiah 44:6-8, ( or Genesis 28:10-19a) Psalm 86:11-17, Romans 8:12-25, and Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43. This week we look at how bad we are at knowing what is weeds and wheat in our own lives.  Thankfully, we are not called to that job; instead we are called to Love!  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:
Where have you found God that you didn't expect to see him over the past few months and how has that changed you in loving others? Also, find ways to love people in ways you haven't before! #faithandscipodcast

7-12-20 - Are we being ”Good Soil”?

The readings for this week are Isaiah 55:10-13, ( or Genesis 25:19-34) Psalm 65:[1-8] 9-13, Romans 8:1-11, and Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23. This week we look at being observant to ourselves and others.  In order to grow our faith, we need good soil and to be good soil for others.  This means being aware of the nutrients we are absorbing and checking to make sure we are not lacking any we need to grow. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:
How well are you checking the soil below you?

7-5-20 - The Balance of Action and Patience in Faith

The readings for this week are Zechariah 9:9-12, ( or Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67) Psalm 145:8-14, Romans 7:15-25a, and Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30. This week we look at balancing patience and action.  It is this balance that inspires us to continue to do God's work, while also learning more about how we are not God and we have to let God do God's work. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

6-28-20 - The Power of Welcoming Others In!

The readings for this week are Jeremiah 28:5-9, ( or Genesis 22:1-14) Psalm 89:1-4, 15-18, Romans 6:12-23, and Matthew 10:40-42. This week we look at the power of a welcome.  It is through that welcome that we are the hands and feet of Christ, and are welcoming others into joining us, in a holy moment with God. Nature has examples of this, but how well are we doing this? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:
When has welcoming someone, benefited not only them, but you in your life? #faithandscipodcast

6-21-20 - Persecution is Part of Our Christian Character

The readings for this week are Jeremiah 20:7-13, ( or Genesis 21:8-21) Psalm 69:7-10, [11-15], 16-18, Romans 6:1b-11, and Matthew 10:24-39. This week look at persecution. There have been many people of faith and in science who have been persecuted against for their ideas only later to be found out they were correct.  Being a Christian, doesn't mean that things are going to be easy, but that doesn't mean they are not worth doing. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
