On Being Christian: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Pastor Nolan G Ruby
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 define themselves. This Podcast won’t be what you think it is, but you might find it is exactly what you need it to be.

114 | The Dangerous Mentality of Experts
I've noticed a trend in which we are increasingly being told that we need to surrender what we think to the will of those who have more "expertise" than we do. Except when it comes to serving the Lord and living in accordance to the Doctrine of the Bible, we are commanded to walk by faith and not by sight; we are commanded to accept what the Lord says, even if the "experts" don't agree with the Lord.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.

113 | As the Hour Approaches
Each one of us will have a final hour. Our final hour is inevitable, but where we will be after that, by God’s grace, is changeable now. Those who wait to deal with their final hour until it comes, will find that they waited too long. Whereas those who allow the sacrifice of Jesus Christ to deal with their final hour now, can begin their life in Christ now and look forward to their final hour.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.

112 | The Established Heart
My Grandfather used to tell me, "the world is full of things that men have started, however it's not so full of things that men have finished." As a Christian, to run your course with confidence, requires an established life; to have an established life, you must possess an established heart, and an established heart is the product of humility and mentorship, which is what this episode is all about. God Bless.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.

111 | Exploiting Vulnerability
There are a lot of concepts within ministerial leadership in today’s culture that are implemented with the justification that the vulnerable are being helped. However, what you’ll find from the Word of God is that when you attempt to do the work of the Lord differently than how the Word of God instructs, the resulting affect can be more of a curse to the vulnerable than a blessing.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.

110 | The God of the Living
This episode is about the God of the living, and how He can only be understood by faith. We tend to attempt to place God into categories, which we then attempt to control. But understanding God has always had more to do with accepting what He says than it has had to do with logically attempting to control what He says. He is the God of the living, and we are dead without Him.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.

109 | We Will Not Forsake
Many times we like to think ourselves capable of accomplishing the things we intend to do, without actually making any plans to do them. In the same way, we tend to think declaring ourselves to be Christian is all it takes to “live” as a Christian, when in reality, there are some procedural steps that are needed. This episode is all about those procedural steps you need to take to stay faithful to the house of God.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.

108 | On Relationships
There are very few things in life that can affect you for the better or for the worse, like relationships. There are beneficial relationships and there are destructive relationships; there are very few relationships that don’t lean towards one of these two extremes. This episode is about the Biblical doctrine of being able to differentiate between the two.

107 | God’s Desire for His People
So much of cultural Christianity today revolves around the question of “what can God do for me?”, or “what can church do for me?”. What if being a Christian had less to do with what our desire from God is, and more to do what God’s desire from us is? This episode attempts to answer from God’s Word what God’s desire is for His people.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.
