The Faith and Science Podcast

2-24-19 - Trusting Enough to be Humble

The readings for this week on the podcast are Genesis 45:3-11, 15, Psalm 37:1-11, 39-40, 1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 42-50, and Luke 6:27-38.  Trusting and humbling yourself are sometimes some of the hardest things we are asked to do as Christians.  These readings look at the possibility and challenge us to admit that we are poor at 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:
Where are you seeing places within the world/church/every day life, that people need to humble themselves and trust? #faithandscipodcast
 
I look forward to all of your feedback,
Tyler Bublitz

2-17-19 - Are You being Flexible Enough?

The readings for this week on the podcast are Jeremiah 17:5-10, Psalm 1, 1 Corinthians 15:12-20, and Luke 6:17-26.  This week we discuss how we have to be flexible with our lives otherwise we will crumble.  Are you being flexible enough?  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Are you being flexible enough for God to work? #faithandscipodcast

2-10-19 - Is it Time to ”Go”?

The readings for this week on the podcast are Isaiah 6:1-8, (9-13), Psalm 138, 1 Corinthians 15:1-11, and Luke 5:1-11.  This week we find that God often tells us "Go", but we are reluctant to answer and do what we are called to do.  Are you in that situation currently?  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:
What situation has God put you in, that he has said "Go" and is expecting a willing heart saying "Here I am Lord send me and I'll do it?" #faithandscipodcast

2-3-19 - Correlation does not mean Causation

The readings for this week on the podcast are Jeremiah 1:4-10, Psalm 71:1-6, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, and Luke 4:21-30.  We find that the love that Jesus show is different than what we expect.  This is similar to how we have found in science that correlation does not equal causation.  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:
Are there places that you have put correlation and causation together when they shouldn't be? #faithandscipodcast

1-27-19 - Nature vs. Nurture

The readings for this week on the podcast are Nehemiah 8:1-3, 5-6, 8-10, Psalm 19, 1 Corinthians 12:12-31a, and Luke 4:14-21.  This week we cover expectations, and how encouragement goes a long way.  Are you being the person you were called to be?  Are you helping others find that out about themselves?  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:
Are we doing a body self-check or self-diagnostic and if so what does it say? #faithandscipodcast

1-20-19 - Expectations and Encouragement

The readings for this week on the podcast are Isaiah 62:1-5, Psalm 36:5-10, 1 Corinthians 12:1-11, and John 2:1-11.  This week we cover expectations, and how encouragement goes a long way.  Are you being the person you were called to be?  Are you helping others find that out about themselves?  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:
Are we pulling the talents of the people around us out? Are we ourselves being the instrument God called us to be? #faithandscipodcast

1-13-19 - Medication vs. Plants

The readings for this week on the podcast are Isaiah 43:1-7, Psalm 29, Acts 8:14-17, and Luke 3:15-17, 21-22.  We find people like making issues black and white and expect things to be such, and sometimes we find that the presence of the doesn't quite fit within these expectations.  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:
What places can you give a plant and give a prayer instead of casting judgement? #faithandscipodcast

1-6-19 - Time for a Change?

The readings for this week on the podcast are Isaiah 60:1-6, Psalm 72:1-7, 10-14, Ephesians 3:1-12, and Matthew 2:1-12.  We find that we can hold onto things too long and that at times we are called to make a change to help with further understanding of someone who has been studied for over 2,000 years. 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:
What changes are you willing to make for Christ? #faithandscipodcast

12-30-18 - Where would we find You?

The readings for this week on the podcast are 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26, Psalm 148, Colossians 3:12-17, and Luke 2:41-52.  The story where we get to hear a young Jesus talk about where did you expect to find me.  This raises the question for us along with what does that do in science when we run across similar questions.  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.

Are you giving God/Jesus the time that they needs? #faithandscipodcast

12-23-18 - A Leap of Joy makes All the Difference

The readings for this week on the podcast are Micah 5:2-5a, Psalm 80:1-7 (or Luke 1:46-55), Hebrews 10:5-10, and Luke 1:39-45, (46-55).  The leap of joy in Elizabeth's womb is an interesting fact for Luke to insert into his gospel.  What can this detail tell us about the presence of God and your emotions?  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:
Are you willing and able to let Christ in, in the season, and do whatever he is telling you to do? #faithandscipodcast
