Hello Valley Church! Enjoy this short devotional for Monday of Holy Week. May Christ be glorified!

This is the last episode of the season!! It has been a great learning project for us to put on FBN's first podcast season, and we truly hope it has been a meaningful tool for you as well! We close this season by addressing two very different topics, though there is some overlap. Tune in to hear Brett and Adam discuss these two topics via questions like: How do we process the reports of pastors who fail morally/sexually? Does their sin erase their ministry? How do we treat their voices now? What are the risks and rewards of social media? Should Christians use it or lose it? What does the Bible say about it? How do we engage with social media responsibly and hopefully?

Gender confusion is prominent in our day, filled with terms and sensitivities that seem beyond human ability to navigate at times. Despite the gravity of it all, the field is ripe for harvest as identity crisis reveals the human need for rescue, and there is hope in Christ. Join Adam, Brandon, and Matt as they have a conversation about reaching into this cultural arena with the hope of the Gospel while addressing questions like: What does the Bible say about it? Why is gender sacred? Are people born homosexual? What is the nature of sin? And of course, how do we respond to it all with the hope of Christ?

We live in a culture that worships sex, mistaking sexual flourishing as a result of sexual freedom. The reality - God's design provides the healthy and Godly boundaries for sexuality to flourish! Tune in to hear pastors Brett and Adam discuss the sex-crazed culture while addressing issues like: God's good design, pornography, the "m" word, how to respond if your child is involved with pornography, and how the church can respond with hope by practicing and teaching marital intimacy and joy that reflects Christ's love for His bride, the church.

Tune in to hear pastors Brett and Adam discuss the sensitive case of abortion; including question such as: What is the Christian/biblical view of all human life issues, such as capital punishment, euthanasia, as well as abortion? How do people justify abortion? What is the problem with Planned Parenthood? How do we step into this area with the hope of Christ?

Tune in to hear pastors Brett and Adam have a conversation about feminism as they address questions such as: What is complementarianism vs egalitarianism? What is the connection between feminism and pro-choice? What is the biblical view of modesty, power, and the value of women? Can women be pastors? And of course, how do we engage in this sensitive realm with the hope of the Gospel?

Tune in to hear pastors Brett, Adam, and Brandon discuss how racism is still alive in the culture and in the church. During the conversation questions will be answered such as: What is BLM and is it biblical? What is Critical Race Theory and is it biblical? How can Christians respond to oppression with grace and truth? And more...

The topic pastors Brett and Adam were the least excited for turned into one of their favorite conversations of the series. Tune in to hear your pastors address questions like: Is America really a Christian country? How does FBN balance standing for truth while not being apolitically charged ministry? What is the deal with hyper-patriotism? What are some concerning political trends among young people? How do we respond to it all with hope that leads people to Christ?

What is "cancel culture" and why does it exist? How has the church contributed to the problem, and how can the church respond better?

Is social justice a biblical concept? What is God's view and expectation of justice? How can the church be hopefully involved? How is social justice a great evangelistic tool?

Culture is filled with trends and issues that put many Christians on edge. Issues of human life, sexuality, gender and social justice are daily encounters. It begs the question, "How are Christians to respond to culture?" Is it OK for us to flare up in anger and frustration and feed the tension, or would Christ have something different, something more hopeful from His church?
