Episode 19 - Struggling with Sin and Fixing our Eyes on Jesus
Outside of Sunday
08/12/21 • 49 min
It's been too long Outsiders, but your girl is back and ready to go! This week we are talking about struggling with sin and fixing our eyes on Jesus.
I feel like I might have left you all on a bit of a cliffhanger in the last episode. So I’ve got some resolving to do.... One of the things I really dislike is when we Christians, have like this varnish on, where we don’t be real, we don’t talk about what’s really going on in our lives. It’s like, if we are having a hard time or a bad day, we can’t let anybody see that - as if that’s going to hurt the other persons faith or as if it means that I’m somehow doing a dis-service to Jesus. I feel like by doing that, and pretending that once you become a Christian from now on your life is just perfect, I think that is worse. Not only that, but it’s also not actually biblical. In Galatians 6 it talks about carrying each others burdens, but how can we do that if we pretend to be perfect?

In this episode, Sarah shares with us the next chapter of her incredible journey. We pick things up with the moment she turned away from the 'Universe', asking the one true God to heal her from endometriosis. Sarah experienced miraculous healing and deliverance one evening at Youth Group all at the same time as committing her life to Christ. Sarah shares about how she received the gift of tongues from the Holy Spirit and how her life changed dramatically after embracing her faith in Jesus Christ. Sarah compares her past in the New Age with her newfound Christianity, and we geek out together about how amazing Jesus is!
Sarah also opens up about her family's reaction to her conversion and offers a message to anyone currently involved in the New Age or drugs. We discuss Christian celibacy, the joy of healing, and the sense of belonging that comes with joining the Christian faith. Finally, Sarah answers a listener question about marijuana and pain relief, and shares how she's living out her faith outside of Sunday.

Episode 52 - Are Hot Cross Buns & Easter Eggs Pagan?
Outside of Sunday
03/26/24 • 20 min
Are hot cross buns, and chocolate easter eggs, a pagan distraction? Or - are they a harmless tradition and something that adds to our Christian, Easter festivities? We’ll find out on this episode of the OOSP.
For some reason, many of the traditions surrounding Christian holidays are labelled as being pagan in origin. Whether it’s Christmas trees at Christmas time (check out our Christmas series for a look at that one) or hot cross buns and easter eggs at Easter time - everything is slapped with the pagan label. Is there any substance or foundation for these claims?

In this week’s episode we are diving into the intricate dynamics of faith and marriage, with practical wisdom from Team and Personal Mentor Cora Dawson of Restoring Connections. We begin the episode with Cora reflecting on growing up in France and how her faith has evolved over nearly three decades, sharing the contrast between the passion of fresh belief and the endurance required for a long walk with Christ.
In the second half of the episode we get to sit in on what feels like a personal coaching session with Cora, as she draws from her expertise to guide us through how to approach sensitive topics—like pornography addiction—with grace and love. Her gift for communication shines through the whole episode as she shares practical, empowering advice to help listeners navigate tough conversations, while maintaining and building connection in our relationships.
