Good morning and welcome to another episode of Thinking Out Loud with Pastor-D! Please join us as we discuss the Sunday sermon at Coast Life Church.

We'll begin the podcast discussing Pastor-D's sticky handshakes and beard-smelling technique. Then we'll hear about the grand conspiracy that trapped GrandPastor-D in the rehabilitation unit out at the VA so he couldn't come to Church. We'll also touch on the death of Scott Adams and remind everyone about the dangers of taking a pragmatic approach to our faith.

We'll then discuss truth, what it is and why it is required in order to receive God's grace in our lives. Pastor-D will also tell us about the dangers of overemphasizing grace and risking the avoidance of recognizing the sin involved with experiencing that grace. Additionally, he'll tell us how to let go of guilt when we've been fortunate enough to experience grace.

We'll talk about the woman who committed adultery and how, sometimes, we should consider the perspective of the woman rather than the crowd. Pastor-D will also tell us how he believes that Jesus may have been set up in that situation.

Finally, we'll discuss anger and rage. We'll talk about how quick we are to experience anger and rage and how to slow our emotional response so that our anger doesn't jump out in front of everything.

Hi and welcome to Thinking Out Loud with Pastor-D! Please join us as we discuss this week's sermon at Coast Life Church...and other things.

We'll open this week with an update on GrandPastor-D and his progress through his hip surgery. He's actually expected to make an appearance at Church this week!

We'll then get deep in the woods with some listener questions. First, we'll address the role of our spirituality in helping us to recover from mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression. Then we'll address the question of whether belief in God as a pragmatic approach to the afterlife is something that will get us into Heaven. Finally, we'll discuss the political violence around the US, why it's occurring and what Jesus would do in these situations.

Our sermon this week was about being like Jesus. We'll investigate how to be like Jesus not only in how we behave, but how we go about our daily lives. We'll also discuss the "rules" that Jesus left for us and why some people have such a hard time believing that they can follow them.

We'll then ask Pastor-D about why he thought Jesus was "hangry" and how we should interpret his actions in cursing the fig tree.

Finally, we'll talk about how lonely it must have been for Jesus when he lost connection with God and was bearing the burden of our sins at the same time. Pastor-D will tell us what the most important example that Jesus left for us and how we should use that example in our own lives.

Hello and welcome to another episode of Thinking Out Loud with Pastor-D! Please join us as we delve into a new sermon series entitled: Build Your Life.

We begin this week with an update on GrandPastor-D and his recovery from surgery. Then we'll compare a kingdom to a democratic republic and try to decide what Jesus would say to us when we go to vote.

We will then go into a couple of listener questions about Jesus' love for those who are NOT saved and whether telling the truth is more important than maintaining harmony. Also, we'll discuss where the line is between preserving harmony and being righteous.

Pastor-D will then contrast the differences in "trying harder" and "enjoying more," and show us how these two things are not the opposite of each other. He'll also tell us how to ensure that we are not trying harder at the wrong things.

Finally, we'll discuss how significant the presence of God is in Heaven with us. We'll discuss how to relate that to those who may not be saved and how to NOT measure God's love for us in terms of what we have or what we get in this life.
