    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.</description>

  <itunes:subtitle>Is a visor considered a head covering? Asking for a friend...</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Paul tells the men they should not wear a head covering while telling the women to wear one. Then he says the women have long hair for a covering and men should not have long hair. Is this even an issue in the church for today? Is this a “culture” thing? We like to say it is because in our western church culture in 2026, this is not an issue. Very few women wear a head covering and when they do, it’s a hat. With men, some wear hats during services, including preachers and worship leaders, and some men have long hair which goes totally against what Paul says! So, what is the deal? And how can we pick and choose what is cultural and what is not? For example, Paul says a woman is not permitted to speak yet even in this chapter he is talking about women praying! We discuss it all in this episode...&lt;/p&gt;

  <description>&lt;p&gt;What is the purpose of the law? What was the purpose of the prophets? Paul tells us in a couple of places the law was given so we would know what sin is. What is sin? Anything that goes against the will of God. The main purpose of the law and the prophets were to reveal the fact that we need a Savior...we need Jesus. As Jesus begins to teach his disciples about living a life pleasing to God he tells them that if their righteousness doesn't exceed that of the religious leaders and the Pharisees, they will not enter heaven! These are people who knew the law like the back of their hand. They looked the part, played the part, and people respected them greatly, but not Jesus. He saw their true nature, he saw their hearts. They may have been fooling the people around them but they didn't fool Jesus and he called them out, "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far fro me." They head knowledge about the scriptures but their heart was far from God! What would Jesus say about us?  &lt;/p&gt;
