This is a refreshing discussion with theologian, author and professor Brad Jersak that spans a myriad of subjects - from interactions with people of diverse viewpoints, love addiction vs. sex addiction, the purpose of confession and repentance, and what "the God of our understanding" and "progress not perfection" really mean. www.bradjersak.com

Have you ever made a promise to yourself to create a new habit but gave it up after only a few weeks? How are those new year's resolutions holding up after a month? Drew Dyck noticed this pattern in his own life and decided to do some study into both the scientific and biblical principles related to self-control. Nate and Aaron have a great discussion with Drew about partnering with God and your community even in the small areas of our life. You can find even more details in his book, Your Future Self Will Thank You. (drewdyck.com)
Also, Nate opens the mailbag and shares a few recent notes.

In part two of our series on domestic abuse, we talk with "Becky", an abuse survivor. Her story is one of pain, fear and redemption, but does point out how the Christian community can sometimes fall into the trap of excusing abusive behavior in the name of avoiding divorce. Can every marriage be saved? Should every marriage be saved? Abuse should never be tolerated in the name of statistics. The guys tackle this tough subject in light of the gospel in compassion, grace and love.

Before you immediately dismiss your need to listen to this episode, we'd challenge you to have an open mind. When we hear the words "domestic abuse", we often think of videos of athletes in elevators, but can we recognize more subtle forms of abuse? Use of Power to Control others through Fear or Intimidation is Abusive even if there are never any bruises or broken bones.
Join us as we begin a two-part series on this important topic. We talk today with Chris Moles (chrismoles.org), a pastor and Biblical counselor who helps churches and families confront the evil of domestic violence.
If this discussion sparked any questions in you, check out Chris's article - Am I Abusive?
We also get to hear a couple of songs from Aaron's new album, The End of the Fall. You can listen and download the entire album at https://soundcloud.com/aaron-porter-778791650/sets/the-end-of-the-fall.
