Conquering Mount Kataphroneo

Presented by Clyde Kilough - November 20, 2020

Most young adults in the Church have a sense—perhaps consciously, but often unconsciously—that they must conquer a big obstacle at that stage of their lives. Let’s call it Mount Kataphroneo (for reasons that will be explained). In this edition of Friday Night Live we will tackle this issue in an uncharacteristic way—Clyde Kilough will introduce the subject then moderate a discussion with several young adults about their experiences in meeting this challenge.

In the past, being labeled the “goat” was a bad thing. In sports it was a title given to the player who committed a terrible mistake and was the reason his team lost the game. But today G.O.A.T. is an acronym for something very different. Learn who should be your goat and why. Join Dave Myers for Friday Night Live on Friday, Oct. 16.

Self-Reliant or Selfish?

Presented by Daniel Harper - May 15, 2020

An article by New York Times columnist Ross Douthat begins with these words: “In the future, it seems, there will be only one ‘ism’—Individualism—and its rule will never end. As for religion, it shall decline; as for marriage, it shall be postponed; as for ideologies, they shall be rejected; as for patriotism, it shall be abandoned; as for strangers, they shall be distrusted. … That’s the implication, at least, of what the polling industry keeps telling us about the rising American generation, the so-called millennials.” What can we do to help protect the Church of God from the effects of this growing societal trend toward a warped and selfish individualism?

Any Questions?

Presented by Zach Smith - March 20, 2020

Sometimes young people in the Church have questions about God, the Bible, or beliefs and teachings of the Church that are left unasked. Perhaps they don’t want to look stupid for asking a simple question or don’t want to be misunderstood as challenging the teachings of the Church. On other occasions, maybe they just don’t want the answer because they like the one they’ve developed! Asking questions can be hard, but it’s vital for our growth. Answerable questions left unasked are missed opportunities for growth.

Time Warp – The Church You Never Knew

Presented by Dave Myers - February 21, 2020

A time warp is defined as “an imaginary distortion of space in relation to time whereby people or objects of one period can be moved to another.” Another definition reads, “An imaginary situation in which the past or future becomes the present.” In this Bible study for young adults we are going to transport a Church of God young adult from 1975 to see what he has to say about the Church of God today. Join Dave Myers for Friday Night Live on Friday, Feb. 21, to see what the past can tell us about our future.
