moving the podcast – interview from June 17, 2014

Episode 29. Matt Mikalatos joins us again, this time to talk about demons and possession, and what the Bible says about both.

“What I’m trying to do is to not be skeptical, or not be naive, or just accepting, but to be discerning. Is this in the realm of what could happen? Is it likely that it did happen? … And regardless of what the situation is, it never hurts to pray with someone.”

Alaina and Peyton: The Suicide Awareness Project

moving the podcast – interview from June 10, 2014

~~~

Episode 28. Alaina and Peyton are working on a school project about suicide awareness, a subject which, in Alaina’s words, “a lot of people don’t like to talk about because it’s a harsh topic. So we figured, why not us?” Listen in as they talk about their project, what it means to them and why they care so much.

“How much can a school do to prevent cancer? But there’s still support and awareness about it. You can’t prevent it. You can’t prevent cancer. You can’t prevent somebody from committing suicide. But you can raise awareness.”

0:00 ~ we never hear about it
11:05 ~ What should the school do?
13:25 ~ “those who suffer”
16:15 ~ the deep effects of suicide
