Laying on of Hands
Sometimes asking for healing is… hard. Or in this case, not hard. Which is kind of the problem. In Scripture, the laying on of hands was used to bless, appoint, and heal (see Acts 9:17 and Mark 16:18). It was a sacred act, a visible sign of divine power at work.
We’re not saying laying on of hands should be prescribed for E.D., but if it worked for blindness and leprosy, it’s fair to wonder if it can handle what pharmaceutical ads call “a condition affecting millions of men.”
Questions for the week?
1# Do you believe God can raise the dead but not… other things?
2# Where do you feel pressure to “perform” instead of asking God for help or healing?
3# If God already knows everything… what are you still pretending isn’t on your list?
Kid Buffet
Read 2 Kings 2:23–25
It’s not your typical Sunday school lesson unless your Sunday school meets in a log cabin and serves hot fear for breakfast.
In 2 Kings, a pack of kids made fun of Elisha for being bald. He didn’t turn the other cheek. He didn’t issue a gentle correction. He called down a curse, and two bears came out of the woods wearing their business socks.
Maybe the point isn’t that God has anger issues or a soft spot for bears. Maybe it’s that when God assigns someone a job, He also hires security. And in this case, the bouncers had claws and didn’t check IDs.
Questions for the week?
1# Are you raising respectful children or training future bear snacks?
2# Are you teaching reverence or just hoping fear will do the job?
Line Dancin’ or Just Trippin’
In this final part of A Good Offense Wins Championships, we explore what happens when offense isn’t performative—but real. Where’s the line between freedom and stumbling blocks? Between humor and harm? From Paul’s advice on weaker brothers to Jesus crossing cultural lines, we wrestle with comedy, conscience, and what it means to truly walk in freedom with Christ—without losing the punchline.
Smells like Teen Spirit…ual Decay
In Part 3 of A Good Offense Wins Championships, we sniff out the difference between cultural conformity and spiritual superiority. From marshmallows to mouse corpses (Poor Sudsy), we explore how some Christians weaponize offense to fit in with the world—while others mask it in moral indignation. Spoiler alert: neither smells like grace. Whether you're Team Ally or Team Aura Farming, Jesus shows a better way. Bring your nose—and maybe some Febreze.
Cultural Kool-Aid
In our PC-on-crack culture, outrage isn’t just accepted - it’s expected. Whether we’re trying to fit in or float above the fray on a cloud of moral superiority, Christians have started speaking fluent offense. But is the real problem “out there”? Or is something subtler - and more spiritual - stirring in here?
Memes, Micro-aggs, Marshmallows
With every creative endeavor comes the real possibility of offending someone. In today's culture—including the church—offense is practically a love language. But when Christians adopt the world’s dialect of outrage to stay “relevant,” something gets lost: grace. In Part 1 of A Good Offense Wins Championships, we roast marshmallows, dodge memes, and examine why offense might be costing us far more than we think.
