What are the threats we need to be most aware of so we can hold on to our faith instead of lose it, so we can protect it and we can spread it? To hold on to true Christianity, we have to embrace all of it and not add or subtract from it (Revelation 22:18). Some influences like education, traditions and evolution can effect our faith by questioning or changing what is written in the bible. Let God be God and pray for all Christians to be aware of these threats. Have you ever had questions you wanted to ask a pastor? Well, there's a podcast for that—and you're listening to it!

Phones can be so addicting; but can being a Christian help with that? Yes and no. Being a Christian does not stop the dopamine in our brain that comes from the unbelievably magnetic attraction of our phones. But, being a Christian can fill some of those holes in your heart that we try to fill with our phones. When our hearts itch and ache for love and acceptance, we can find a place to belong in the arms of Jesus. Have you ever had questions you wanted to ask a pastor?
