Have you ever wondered if God's will is something you can discover? Paul prayed that the Colossians would be "filled with the knowledge of His will." So, we must be able to know it if that's what Paul was praying. But how? How can we confidently discern what God wants and has planned for us? Jeff unpacks this mystery in this week's episode.

Paul was a first-century Christian "celebrity." And yet, that's not how he viewed himself at all. Instead, he saw himself and other ministers, missionaries as "bond-servants."  But what does that look like in our culture? And how does it relate to seeking God in our everyday life? Jeff explains in this week's podcast.

Are we to follow the dictates of our subconscious mind? Are dreams "revelatory?" Should they be shared with the rest of the body of Christ? Jeff continues to examine the scriptural and theological implications of listening to those "night visions," and precisely how this leads us away from truth and into error.

Do dreams matter? Are they from God, self, or somewhere else?> Does God speak to us in our dreams? Or should we be skeptical of them? And what does the Bible say? Are there any biblical principles to guide us as we think about a particular dream? Jeff takes a Scripture-based look at this mystical, subjective, and often misunderstood topic.

"Just have faith." We hear that a lot in the Christian world, but what does it actually mean? How do we do it? What is it that enables us to grow in the exercise of our faith on a daily basis? And what does this "shield of faith" refer to? How are we supposed to use it? Jeff explains in today's episode.

In battle, it was critical that a Roman soldier have sure footing to give him stability and confidence, both in travel as well as in hand-to-hand combat. Paul draws on this principle of stability to teach us something about the gospel, and the peace God provides through it. In this episode, Jeff explains more about the armor of God, and how important it is for us to have the right kind of "footwear."

Why is the breastplate so vital? And how exactly do we "live righteously?" Is there a secret to it? And what's the difference between ive and active righteousness?
