In moments of national tragedy, we explore how Christians can respond faithfully when faced with evil and suffering in our broken world.

• Evil and suffering are realities in our fallen world since Genesis 3
• Our connectivity to news makes us more aware of tragedies happening everywhere
• Romans 3 reminds us that "no one is righteous, not even one"
• Jesus warned his disciples: "In this world you will have tribulation"
• Christians are called to love even those they disagree with politically
• What Satan intends for evil, God can use for good
• While we cannot police hearts, Jesus can transform them
• Our battle isn't against political opponents but against evil itself
• We should be voices of healing rather than adding to division

If you're struggling with recent events happening in our world or need someone to talk to, please call our church office. This podcast is meant to start a dialogue, not end it.

We explore the importance of celebrating milestones and honoring those who've paved the way in our faith journeys. We dive into this topic as we celebrate Dr. Ed Peary, Georgetown Baptist Church's newly named Pastor Emeritus.

• Dr. Ed Peary honored as Pastor Emeritus after decades of faithful ministry service
• The biblical basis for ceremonies and remembrances in church life
• Why ordination, baptism, communion, and other church ceremonies matter
• How celebrating milestones strengthens our faith and provides perspective
• The importance of honoring those who've gone before us while preparing the next generation
• Practical ways to acknowledge and celebrate growth in our families and personal lives
• Taking time to recognize our own spiritual growth rather than always rushing to the next thing

Remember to pause and celebrate what God has done in your life and the lives of those around you. Life moves too quickly - don't miss the opportunity to mark important moments.

In this episode, we dive into how you can have faith without being conformed to the world.

• Understanding secularism biblically as "the course of this world" described in Ephesians 2
• Christians don't need to fix the world but should focus on not conforming to it (Romans 12:1-2)
• The hardest part of living faithfully was accomplished by Jesus on the cross
• Surrounding yourself with believers who sharpen you spiritually is essential
• Biblical examples like Daniel and Joseph show how to thrive spiritually while excelling in secular environments
• Simple acts of service open doors for a relationship without requiring elaborate evangelism
• Don't hide your light—let Jesus shine naturally through you in every setting
• Remember God's sovereignty—nothing is impossible with Him
