    <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>We are tackling one of the most difficult passages in the Bible that comes from 1 Timothy 2 about women keeping silent and not being able to teach a man. It has been a hot topic and debated for centuries! What does Paul say? What does he mean by what he says? Is there a contradiction here? Does Paul contradict his very own thoughts? We’re going to dissect it and give our input in this podcast. This is part 2.

  <itunes:subtitle>Jesus touches a blind man's eyes twice to heal him...Why?</itunes:subtitle>

  <description>Jesus does something he hasn't done up until this point: He heals the same man twice. He touches his eyes and the man sees trees; Jesus touches him again and he sees clearly. Why did Jesus do this healing this way? Did he fail the first time? Did he make a mistake? Absolutely not! He is teaching his disciples a lesson. These guys have seen him do many miracles including raising a dead girl back to life and yet they don't get it, they don't understand. It's as if they see trees but Jesus knows that in time, they will get it and they will see clearly which is why he asks them right after this, "Who do you say that I am?" What about you? Do you see trees? Or do you get it? Do you understand that Jesus wants you to be a part of his kingdom and he wants to work through you.

  <description>In chapter 5 the author continues with the theme of Jesus being our High Priest. After saying Jesus was chosen by God to be our High Priest, he goes on to tell his audience that God knows what they are dealing with and what they are experiencing in life, therefore they should not lose confidence in Jesus and keep the faith! He goes into detail how Jesus was human and was tempted and suffered persecution just as they are and he is here to help them if they would continue their walk with him. It’s so easy to draw back and get mad at God when difficulties come into our lives but that’s the very opposite that we should do. We should run TO God for help! And as we go through life’s struggles there are so many lessons we can learn and the author says Jesus himself learned obedience to God in his struggles. As we continue this study of the Book of Hebrews, it is clear to see the author is trying their best to get the readers of his letter to stay with Jesus and not give up the fight! It’s a great message for us today as we all face trials and storms in our lives!
