Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Have you ever heard the term cultural competence? Many Christians, I'm afraid, haven't, yet we need to understand it to effectively reach out to our communities and our world. It is all about understanding the culture and background of people so that you can relate to them and share the gospel. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
In this episode, Nick and Liz are back again and discussing the idea of the still and quiet moments to hear God. They discuss how prayer is a two-way conversation and how we need to remove distractions and listen to what God is trying to tell us. So the question is, are YOU quiet enough to hear God? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
In this episode, Nick discusses the problem with Christians who fall into complacency and settle for being average. Christians are not called to be average or to stop learning and growing. Paul addresses the Roman church and gives them an outline for what a true Christian is. Nick uses those verses to explain what a Christian should be doing and how average Christianity is a sad place to be. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…

In this episode Nick is solo again for this week but discusses his thoughts and recommendations on where to start reading the Bible. It is easy to overcomplicate where to start, what to read, how to study. Nick wants to address very simply books of the Bible our listeners can start with in their Bible study journey. You don't need a devotional, guide, workbook, or any of that. You simply need to open the Book and start reading! Look for more podcast episodes around Bible study and Bible study methods in the future! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
In this episode of the podcast, Nick and Liz talk about the growing problem of Christian burnout. They discuss what burnout is, why it's happening to so many Christians, and how to prevent it. They also talk about how burnout is not just a business problem, but a church problem too. They share stories of how burnout has affected people in their own lives and in the lives of people they know. They offer hope and practical advice for how to prevent burnout and how to recover from it if you're already experiencing it. Burnout is not just a business problem Burnout is a state of chronic stress that can lead to physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. It can happen to anyone, but it's becoming increasingly common in the Christian community. There are a number of reasons why burnout is happening to so many Christians. One reason is that we're often putting too much pressure on ourselves to be perfect. We feel like we have to be everything to everyone, and we don't know how to say no. Another reason is that we're often not taking enough time for ourselves. We're so busy serving others that we forget to take care of ourselves. Burnout is not just a personal problem. It's also a church problem. When Christians are burned out, they're not able to serve the church effectively. They're not able to be the people God created them to be. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…

Revival has taken on many terms in our modern society. Revival can be an outpouring of the Holy Spirit, it can be a set weeklong meeting, it can be worship filled services that go beyond a single day, or it can be something that an individual experiences personally! So many things. Nick's initial reaction on Asbury was to wait and see. If lives were changed, people came to Christ, and there was legitimate long-term implications; then Nick believes this was a true revival. While there are other signs and indications of revival taking place, the term is thrown around in so many instances it becomes confusing. In this episode, Nick focuses primarily on the personal experience of revival! What does it mean for a person and is what happened in Asbury true revival in that perspective?

Are you willing to be a "one"? The Bible is full of people who stand up and speak out for what is right even if they are greatly opposed. An example of this is Joshua and Caleb in Numbers 13-14. In this episode, Nick discusses this story and why it is impactful for us as Christians to be a "one". Joshua and Caleb were among 12 spied sent into the promised land, the land of Canaan. When the twelve returned, they told all of the beauty and splendor of the land God had promised. 10 of the 12 said there were giants and great people in the land they could not overcome and that the entire nation of people should just give up on the hopes of taking the land. Only Joshua and Caleb, the remaining two spies, spoke up saying the people could take it and God would help them! God makes promises, He will provide and take care of us as His children. How often do we get discouraged and give up on what God has promised? Sadly it happens too often. Will you be a "one" like Joshua and Caleb to stand and call out to everyone who is negative and stand for God, His truth, and His promises? The world needs more Joshua and Calebs in our Modern World.

Have you heard of Stoicism? It's mentioned in the book of Acts and Paul had to debate with philosophers that followed this teaching. Nick believes it is once again coming into popularity and is entering the church. Why should we be concerned? Because it makes Christian's passive and not intent on taking things to God in prayer! Being a Stoic is the idea of not being effected by things outside of your control. Experiencing pain, suffering, or disappointment? Just brush it off and remain positive! As you can see, that is clearly not what the Bible teaches. While yes, God is sovereign and we must trust His will; nowhere in scripture are we taught to become aloof to our difficulties or concerns and not to take them to God in prayer. The doctrine of God being fully sovereign and Christians just sit back, and whatever happens just happens is a horrible idea. It neglects the relationship of man towards God. We rely on Him in pain, hurt, disappointment. Calvinistic teaching taken to an extreme of God being in control and man having no role or impact whatsoever diminishes the relationship that God established through Christ. Do you agree? Is Stoicism a problem for the church? Is it perfectly acceptable to be a Stoic? #Stocism #ModernChristian #ChristianPodcast #ChristianStoic --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
In this episode, Nick discusses several things that he believes are important for modern Christians and the modern church. While this is not an exhaustive list, these are just five important things that the church should be doing for its church members. Do you have any ideas about what they are? 1. Equipping - the training/teaching of the believers. How do we evangelize? How do we share our testimony/story with others? How do we disciple someone? How do we get involved and participate in specific ministries? All of this goes into the category of equipping. 2. Discipleship - while Nick has discussed this in detail in two prior episodes, he reiterates the importance of teaching other believers and growing together as fellow disciples of God. Discipleship is closely related to equipping and should be an important element to the modern church. 3. Encouragement - Ever had a bad day? We all have. Encouragement of the believers is important. We all need to be encouraged and likewise all need to be encouraging one another. Christians are not in a rivalry or at odds against each other, we are fellow believers and a support system for one another. 4. Accountability - This one is something none of us want to do, we don't like to be accountable. However, it strengthens us, helps us grow and be more for Christ! We need to find those we can be accountable to and with to grow and heal from past struggles. 5. Empathy - In our technological age we are very cold and desensitized to the needs and feelings of others. Brining empathy back into the church among believers is important. We must all be in this life, world, and faith journey together. Hurt with each other, celebrate with each other, and support one another. Tune in to this week's episode to hear Nick discuss these 5 elements that a modern church needs to strengthen it's congregation. #accountability #discipleship #christianpodcast #modernchristians --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
Do you know what the most important thing a Christian has is? It isn't money, possessions, a house, the church building, or anything like that. While our personal relationship with Christ is the most important thing we have, Nick discusses the most important resource in the Christian's life. Time. Nick, in this episode, discusses how time is finite, we only have so much, and we must be good stewards of that time that God has given to us! We need time to work, spend time with family, pray, attend church, read our Bible, and do anything else. It all costs us time. Do you spend your time wisely? Most of us fall short in that area, and Nick admits he is guilty of the same. Check out this episode of the Modern Age Christian Podcast to hear Nick discuss time management as a Christian and why time is our most precious resource. #timemanagement #christianpodcast #timewasters --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
Searching for the right person to marry? Maybe you've already found them... In this episode, Nick discusses 5 things to look for in the right person you should marry. Finding a potential spouse is a daunting task. It is full of ups and downs, fears, doubts, worry, and sometimes questioning "God, is there even anyone out there for me?". If you are praying and searching, keep trusting that God has someone for you and look for the things Nick discusses that will tie your hearts together. God needs to be and should always be first in any couple's relationship. If that is first, spiritual health and communication are all keys to a successful relationship. Dating, marriage, or having your partner in life is more than just finding someone to live with and feeling something emotional. It is two people, joined together in a way that is honoring to God. Making sure both of these people have their hearts and minds set on the right thinking will prove vital to their relationship's success. #marriage #Christiandating #ChristianPodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…
What is Discipleship really? It has turned into a Christian buzzword. Every church is saying we need to train people in discipleship and it is the greatest need of the modern Church, but what is it? What did Jesus say about it? How do we become disciples and grow our relationship with Christ? Nick addresses the concern with using this term as just a buzzword like a hashtag on social media. It has become trendy and commonplace to throw the term discipleship around without really a good explanation or description of what the term means. Spoiler alert! It is much deeper than the dictionary definition! Tune in to Part 1 of What Is Discipleship to learn more about this term and what it is. Part 2 coming 2/21 will address in more detail how this is impactful to our modern society and why it is important to use and disciple others.

In this episode, Nick discusses common struggles facing Christians in today's modern society. The world has changed and is ever-evolving, so are the struggles that Christians face. The struggles and challenges of a technology-infused world are drastically different from the world decades ago. The struggles also bring the need for encouraging and lifting up those who are believers. How should we as Christians encourage our fellow believers? Nick will discuss ways to encourage believers at the end of the episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/modernagechristian/support…

For episode 1 of the Modern Age Christian, Nick discusses choosing a word to set the stage for your entire year. He also shares what his word is and why it is important. Do you have a word? Will you join Nick in choosing a word for 2022? The idea of choosing a word to define your year comes from leadership and personal development. Picking a word to focus on and to be an important part of your year. For 2022, after the last 2 years of the pandemic, focus and the pursuit of improvement is more important than ever.
