Use Your Words

Here at Use Your Words - we are two friends that decided to create a podcast for Bible believing Christians that care about news and culture. While not every week will focus on current news and/or culture - we will continually focus on the single thread through everything - our faith in Christ. We each have different passions and bring those passions to the forefront - music, faith, mental health, politics, news, worldview, and how all these things tie together. Join us as we learn, grow, and continue to become better each week. Interact with us on our social media accounts or email (uywords@gmail.com). Disagree - but be polite and Use Your Words. read less

A Personal Conversation: Part 1
In this episode of Use Your Words, we're having an open and honest conversation about what it means to be a Christian that is committed to living by what the Bible says, but also happens to be attracted to others of the same sex/gender. Aaron leads the conversation and asks the questions that he's always wanted to ask of Paul. We know this can be a sensitive topic, so we recommend listening to it first without children around on your own before deciding if it's appropriate to listen to it around children. We're keeping it real and honest, and we hope this conversation will help those who are struggling with this issue. So, tune in to Use Your Words now and join us for this important conversation!Use Your Words podcast is passion project of two people from Southeastern Wisconsin.

He was attracted to other boys. As he grew into adulthood, his mother, Angela, hoped to control the situation. Instead, she found that her son and her life were spiraling out of control—and her own personal demons were determined to defeat her. Years of heartbreak, confusion, and prayer followed before the Yuans found a place of complete surrender, which is God’s desire for all families. Their amazing story, told from the perspectives of both mother and son, offers hope for anyone affected by homosexuality. God calls all who are lost to come home to him. Casting a compelling vision for holy sexuality, Out of a Far Country speaks to prodigals, parents of prodigals, and those wanting to minister to the gay community. "But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him." - Luke 15:20 Includes a discussion guide for personal reflection and group use.Holy Sexuality and the Gospel | Christopher Yuan - From the author of Out of a Far Country, which details his dramatic conversion from an agnostic gay man who put his identity in his sexuality to a Bible professor at Moody Bible Institute who puts his identity in Christ alone, comes a thoroughly gospel-centered examination of sex, desire, and relationships.Christopher Yuan Website - Christopher has an amazing testimony on how God rescued him.

Chris Rock Netflix Special: Selective Outrage
Welcome to Season 3 of Use Your Words. This week we start out things by looking at our Chris Rock's Netflix special "Selective Outrage" (This is rated MA for sure - it is not recommended for anyone - let alone under 18). Why are we talking and analyzing it? Because it is something that is in the current culture - it is something that people are talking about around the water cooler as well as the fact that it continues on the social media blaze about the slap heard round the world (aka Will Smith slapping Chris Rock). Things covered in this special include Chris's thoughts on dating younger women, words that white men can't say, and the slap. The slap. Join us as we talk about this and take our first venture into video.Use Your Words podcast is passion project of two people from Southeastern Wisconsin.

Social Media Is Harming Us All - Especially Our Children

Social Media Is Harming Us All - Especially Our Children
It's the last episode of Season 2 of Use Your Words and we have one final thing to talk about. Social Media. Social Media is harming people left and right, and yet we let children use it without a second thought. Multiple studies have shown the detrimental impact it has had on teens and young adults - so is it maybe time we put social media behind an age restricted wall on the internet - and regulate it just as much as we do other things that are considered adult such as pornography, alcohol, cigarettes, and voting?Effects Of Social Media On TeenagersSocial media and teen mental health: 10 things to know : NPRHow Social Media Affects Teenagers.The Pros and Cons of Social Media for Youth | Psychology TodayEffects of Social Media on Children – Cleveland ClinicTeens and social media use: What's the impact? - Mayo ClinicTeens who cut their social media use in half see improvements in body image in just a MONTH | Daily Mail OnlineUse Your Words podcast is passion project of two people from Southeastern Wisconsin.
