Dare to dream big. Chase your dreams. This is a dream I've had since lunch (for you Office fans). There's no shortage of platitudes about the importance of following your dreams. But is it all helpful advice? What does Scripture have to say about the significance of the future when it comes to raising kids? Dr. Alan Posey joins Whitney Capps and Russ Greer to help you think about your kids' hopes and dreams (or even your own) and how you can help make them a reality. We'd love to hear from yo...

Righteous Indignation
What does holy anger look like? What does it feel like? Is it even possible for anyone who isn't God? The answer isn't short. And it's not simple. But it's important for every believer who wants to be spiritually mature. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer attempt to process this often misunderstood idea of Christian maturity.

Changing the White Noise (w/Dr. Evan Posey)
Influencers are a dime a dozen. And much of the time, the products or ideas they peddle are not particularly significant. But with the recent death of Charlie Kirk, it's reasonable to presume that most Americans have given thought to what it means to stand up for an idea, regardless of the cost. Dr. Evan Posey joins Whitney Capps and Russ Greer to discuss the role of Christ followers as they live in and speak to an increasingly post-Christian culture.

Would You Rather?
If you've never played a rousing round of "Would You Rather," have you even been in a youth group? Do these questions matter in the greater scope of life? Not even a little. Should we ponder them anyway? Indeed. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer waste twenty-five minutes of your time debating scenarios that will *probably* never actually happen. Enjoy!

Misunderstood: Jeremiah 29:11
It's easy to quote Scripture. But it's not always easy to quote it in context and with the correct meaning. If you've ever made the mistake of leveraging a verse in the wrong way, you're not alone. It happens all the time. But just because it's common doesn't mean it's okay. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer unpack the truth behind this often-though-incorrectly-cited passage from the prophet Jeremiah. We'd love to hear from you!

It's a Gen Z World (and We Just Live in It)
If you're confused by the slang you hear out of the mouths of today's youths, you're not alone. And it's really hard to keep up. As soon as you internalize the meaning of one term, a new and different (or maybe not so different) one pops up. It's a revolving door. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer attempt to make sense out of the nonsensical. Maybe it will help. Maybe not. Hard to say. SHOW NOTES For more info on Ministry Leader Live, email Russ Greer. We'd love to have you at our next gathering! ...

Jesus Never Said That
Jesus said a lot while he walked the earth. Lots of good stuff, too. And while he deserves all the credit for those truths that he taught, he also gets some credit for things he didn't say. You've probably heard some of these nuggets of advice from a well-meaning friend (in real life or on social media). Whitney Capps and Russ Greer address some of the most popular worldly wisdom from a biblical perspective. We'd love to hear from you! Send us your thoughts or show ideas via text message. Sup...

At the Movies: The Best Movie Candies (...in our humble but accurate opinions)
Going to the movies is a favorite pastime of SO many. And a huge part of that experience is connected to the foods that accompany a good, old-fashioned picture show. But not all candies are created equal. In fact, some candies should never have been created at all! Whitney Capps and Russ Greer discuss their favorites in the candy space—a discussion that doesn't matter at all (but was super fun to record). We'd love to hear from you!

Alcohol: A Discussion about Christian Liberty
To drink or not to drink. That is the question. It's not the most important question, but it is one that gets asked quite a bit in Christian circles. Regardless of where you land on the issue, it's important to consider what Scripture says—and doesn't say–about alcohol. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer think out loud through what it looks like to think biblically about this hot-button topic. We'd love to hear from you!

Rebellious Denial: A Cancer Update from Whit

Quiet Time vs. Bible Study (w/Erin Warren)
There's a general understanding that those who have a daily "quiet time" are doing it right. And that's not all wrong. But is it best? Is there more for believers in the pages of Scripture than what can be covered in a 15-minute span? Special guest Erin Warren joins Whitney Capps and Russ Greer to talk about the difference between a quiet time or devotional approach to the Bible and truly digging in to God's word.

Christianese 101: Just Say the Thing
Have you ever uttered a Christian cliche only to realize you're not even sure what it means? Or maybe someone has used Christianese on you in a most non-sensical way. Perhaps you don't even realize you use these catch phrases. Whatever the case, there are some well-meaning words that simply don't square up theologically. Whitney Capps and Russ Greer take some of these classics to task to figure out what exactly is being communicated. We'd love to hear from you! Send us your thoughts or ...
