On Being Christian

We are redefining (or more accurately stated - we are correctly defining), what being a Christian means. Too often who we claim to be has become nothing more than a matter of who we say we are, but who we really are has much more to do with what we do and how we live. The “On Being Christian” Podcast aims at removing the title “Christian” from being nothing more than a NOUN people use to define themselves and placing it back in the VERB category. Meaning it is an action that people practice to

099 | What God Gives His Man

On Being Christian ·

2025/11/15

The calling to speak for the Lord is not a small thing. Nor is it (as we have attempted to make it) a definable thing within the perimeters of any specific religion. Speaking for God can only be done when speaking from the Word of God and by the power of God. The duty is ours, the method and results are His.

098 | His Help = My Health | Deep Calls to Deep

On Being Christian ·

2025/11/08

I have a very close friend who once said - “the reason Christians are having an identity crisis, is because they were never meant to have one (an identity outside of Christ, that is).” This episode is about that the fact that the help of His countenance (Ps.42:5) is the health of my countenance (Ps.42:11). Might is be that we are not healthy Christians, because we are not accepting the help of Christ?The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City,

097 | Slow to Hear. Swift to Speak.

On Being Christian ·

2025/10/21

In many situations, we find ourselves acting much too quickly on things we should be taking our time on, and procrastinating or taking way too much time on things we should be moving swiftly on. The Bible does have a little bit to say about what proper behavior should look like concerning swift and slow action.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

096 | Calling Down Fire Again

On Being Christian ·

2025/10/14

I'm sure you've heard a version of the phrase- Hard Men make Good Times, Good Times make Soft Men, Soft Men make Bad Times, Bad Times make Hard Men... and so the cycle continues. What may not be realized, is that this same cycle can play itself out in the course of one man's life. You can succeed and you can fail, but you can find grace and succeed again. Which is what episode #96 is all about.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City,

095 | A Crisis of Comfort

On Being Christian ·

2025/09/30

Many times, in trying situations, we tend to seek the comfort which we've been conditioned by society to think will be helpful to us. However, many times the "comfort" we seek in all reality just introduces a different form of crisis. The worth is in the work, not the reward, and that's what this episode is all about - the value of having purpose over comfort.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G

094 | Lessons from Disorder

On Being Christian ·

2025/09/24

Many times in the process of gathering information to make good decisions, we analyze what works and try to recreate it. However in many instances, if we took the time to learn what not to do from situations that went sideways, we might learn more quickly and throughly how to have a more effective outcome.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

093 | Is God Fair?

On Being Christian ·

2025/09/09

The question of whether or not God is a fair God is often one of the most asked questions that I encounter when talking with people who are considering Christianity. In this episode, my desire is to first show the Biblical Doctrine that God is absolutely fair, but then perhaps more importantly, to show from the Bible WHY He is fair. I hope you enjoy episode #93!The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G

092 | What is A Good Man? No.2

On Being Christian ·

2025/08/13

At times if we're not careful, we tend to use Biblical phrases for secular purposes. The term "a good man", is objectively defined by the Word of God, but we may have swapped out that definition for a more subjective one in keeping with our own opinions. This episode is about what it means to be a good man, specifically from the objective doctrine of God's Word.

090 | Trouble

On Being Christian ·

2025/07/30

The idea of trouble, as we experience it ourselves and/or see others experiencing times of trouble, is interesting because it's never as hard to understand that you're in trouble as perhaps it is to understand how you got into trouble, or more importantly, how to get out of it. Knowing that there is a problem is not nearly as valuable as understanding how to resolve the problem. Which is what we're going to look at today - resolving problems or getting out of trouble. I pray this is helpful to

089 | Significance

On Being Christian ·

2025/07/09

I think it's safe to assume that most of us would like to have "significant" lives and make "meaningful" contributions, to know that who we are and what we do matters. However, many times we do this by comparing what we can see, understand, and accept as valuable to what we define as invaluable, again based off what we can see, understand, and accept. If our definition of value/significance changed to be more in keeping with the doctrine of God's Word, do you think we the things we pursue from the

088 | The Christ of God

On Being Christian ·

2025/06/16

Across "religious" beliefs there is a general acceptance as to who God is, however there is widespread debate and confusion as to who Jesus Christ is. This episode makes very clear, from the perspective of Biblical Doctrine, exactly who the Christ of God is.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

087 | Misplaced Fear

On Being Christian ·

2025/05/27

Fear is a powerful emotion. When fear manifests itself as reverence (fear) towards God, it becomes very appropriate and useful in the Christian life. However when fear is misplaced, it becomes a disease. Fear, as a disease, causes us to make inappropriate and unhelpful decisions with respect to being a Christian. This episode is about what not to fear.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G. Ruby.If

086 | Pure Religion

On Being Christian ·

2025/05/20

The word religion has become a term we use to define almost any position that anyone might take on any issue. Pure Religion however, is actually definable by the Doctrine of the Word of God. The Bible says that Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith, so I'm not sure when we decided that we could change definitions defined in His Word. This episode is about the simplicity of definable Pure Religion (Spoiler Alert - it's very different from Denomination).The On Being Christian Podcast is a

085 | Why Obedience Can Be So Hard

On Being Christian ·

2025/05/05

Somehow being a Christian has been allowed to become about culture, status and experience, when in reality being a Christian is really just about being obedient to the Word of God. In fact, culture, status and experience can get in the way of being just simply obedient. This episode is about the human qualities that make obedience needlessly difficult.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of Wasatch Front Baptist Church in Salt Lake City, Utah.Authored and hosted by Pastor Nolan G.

084 | Our Problems vs God’s Power

On Being Christian ·

2025/04/30

At times we face significant challenges/problems in this life, some of which have the power to change the course of our life. Some of these challenges and problems are just part of the human experience, and some, as powerful as they are, can be the result of our own foolish decisions. Whichever may be the case, sometimes our problems linger, not because they can't be solved or overcome, but rather because we refuse to accept the solution. The solution being the truth and power of God's Word. My

083 | Look Up

On Being Christian ·

2025/04/16

Our society is becoming increasingly more filled with chaos and anarchy; we’ve never had access to more information, while at the same time we’ve never been more inept at utilizing the information. We have all the “smarts” in the world and yet we seem to have zero wisdom, this causes anxiety and depression and fear. Jesus Christ in the Gospel of Luke chapter 21, gives us 5 things to consider as a way to combat this anxiety, depression and fear. Hope Episode #83 is a blessing to you!The On Being

082 | Christian Standard Operational Procedures No.2

On Being Christian ·

2025/04/10

In the Military, we had an acronym we called SOPs, which stands for Standard Operational Procedures. SOPs served as a selection of known, unchanging responsibilities, so that even if the plan fell apart, we knew the fundamentals to fall back on. In the Bible, we find some Christian SOPs, and if you apply this doctrine, regardless of what life may throw at you, you’ll have the proper fundamentals in which to guide your behavior and actions as a Christian. Episode #82 is Part 2 of 2.The On Being

On Being Christian ·

2025/04/01

In many ways we tend to look for reasons to make things more difficult than they really are, it’s one of the ways we attempt to make ourselves feel better about not taking immediate action (we say we’re “deliberating” or “thinking about it”). This episode attempts to put all of that nonsense aside. Here’s the simple reality from the Word of God when it comes to obedience - either you are obedient, or you’re not. There is no grey area… choose wisely.The On Being Christian Podcast is a ministry of
