Beggar & Bread

In the second part of this deep, two-part series, Justin discusses the heavy question, “will believers who commit suicide go to heaven?” This is a personal, loaded question that often comes with emotions and strong feelings attached to it, but Justin looks at Biblical examples to try to best answer the question.

What does the Bible say about mental health? Is there anything that we can learn from therapy, or should we just rely on God alone? In part 1 of this two-part series, we discuss the question: can Jesus and therapy coexist? Can Christianity and antidepressants harmonize with each other?

Is it okay for Christians to drink alcohol? Many people use John 2:1-12 as an argument for this debate. This passage – the first of Jesus’ miracles – however, has much more significance than being used for this argument. Let’s walk through this sign together and wonder at the work of Christ.

On the foundation of Part One of this series, we discuss what it means to understand the Trinity practically. A right understanding of the Trinity affects many areas of the Christian everyday life, including creation, prayer, salvation, and love. 

Often considered the most confusing doctrine of God to understand, the Trinity has been neglected or misunderstood by many in the church. In the first of this two-part series, Justin will describe each person of the Trinity, discuss what the Trinity is NOT, and make the defense for the divinity of each person of the Trinity. 

Bethel Music, Hillsong Church, and Elevation Worship have this one thing in common. Justin discusses the pressing question, “should I sing songs with weak theology?”

WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW: Grace Community Church in California has stated that they will not be closing under the mandate of the state of California. They released an article giving their reasoning as well as John MacArthur being invited on Fox News for an interview. This forces the question: when is it okay to enact civil disobedience?

There are three words that make for one of the most profound statements in the Christian life: God is good. Justin Bower unpacks each word individually and then explains the sentence as a whole for better understanding and encouragement.●      Twitter●      Instagram●      Facebook

Roark Enters asks the question “Why do both David and Solomon take multiple wives, yet are still considered to be consecrated to God’s will while they do so?” In order to answer this question, we must set a Biblical foundation of what God says about marriage and what His covenant does to that.

This is the first installment of the “WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW” portion of the show. The goal of this series is to propose thoughts and answers concerning current events as they unfold. The first episode of this series comes in a time of division and panic; in a time of pandemic. I ask the pressing question that everyone seems to be talking about: should I wear a mask in public?

10 MINUTE TAKEAWAYS: A new series on the podcast!In this series, Justin Bower will conduct a short Bible Study on a specific portion of the Bible with the goal of bringing out practical applications for the Christian life.   Justin discusses:● Psalm 101:1-4 “I will sing of steadfast love and justice” and what that means to the believer of Jesus Christ.● Defining steadfast love, the justice of God, and how they correlate.● Verse-by-verse breakdown of the context, meaning, and message.● Simple applications/how to read and sing this Psalm with better understanding of its meaning.

Discussing a quote by Josh Bales that leads me to research in theology and Scripture. This is a question I never thought I would have to answer in a deep theological way, but one I have found necessary to answer.Find show notes and updates on our website! https://beggarandbreadpodc.wixsite.com/beggarandbread/beggarandbread/categories/show-notes
