The Ascending Word
We are a group of friends who have decided to share our stories of our journey in following Christ. While we may come into contact with times that bring us down, or cause us to stumble on our travels, all of our thoughts will be ascending. Join Alex and Russ as they bring you a weekly recap of the articles and features of the Ascending Thoughts Blog. The Ascending Word is a place to discuss deeply and add context to the ideas that we share and broaden a little bit of the perspective of our walks with Christ. We love to have people send questions and comments that we can address live on the air! Have you heard the Ascending Word?

Episode 18
This week on the podcast Russ and Alex, talk about being satisfied in the Lord, why we need to do it, and what that looks like practically. They talk about the ironies of Christianity and how they are the beautiful features of the Bible. The fellows also discuss a recent issue regarding the National Anthem and arguments regarding whether or not it can become an idol. It is a contentious issue, but the goal is to bring some Christ-like interpretation to proper place of patriotism in our lives.
Here’s the rundown
