The podcast invites listeners to join the journey. Hello and welcome to the Authentic Life Podcast. I'll be your host Joshua Heron and in this episode we're going to lay the foundation of what the podcast is really all about and what we will talk about from podcast to podcast. So what is this particular podcast for? To be perfectly honest with you, I was going to start off with some reason on how I help men and women walk through the Bible and deal with the reality of how to utilize that Bible to get through their life. However, if I am overwhelmingly honest, this podcast was truly started to help me and my son walk through the Word of God and apply it to our daily lives. We all struggle with life and don't always get it right. That is why we need the Word of God to help keep us on the correct path that eventually morphed into not just my son and I, but the audience and the guests as well. So we would have to begin with what is the Bible and how can people interact with it? I would have to say that is the main purpose of this podcast. Throughout our lives, sometimes we encounter real problems and oftentimes we isolate ourselves from where we should be. This was created to help people get through their day-to-day life and realize that you are not alone in the struggles. We all have problems to walk through and the evidence of that is our day-to-day life and how we interact with it. We are choosing to walk through life with the Bible open and our mind focused on Christ. However, we don't always make the right choices and sometimes we make the right choices for the wrong reasons. I would like to say with much enthusiasm that this is where the Bible comes in and that is the end of all the conversation. However, that is not what everyone thinks and that is why the podcast is truly created. The podcast really is two-fold. Firstly, it is to get people to realize the truth of the Bible and how God has intervened in the lives of man. Not only that, we are going to walk through the Word of God and how to apply it to our lives individually. We will be having conversations with numerous guests to see how we can interact with the Bible in our lives. The basis of the whole entire podcast is to focus on real people in real time with real problems trying to apply real solutions. Each podcast to come will be talking with various guests on occasion and will pinpoint the struggles of everyday life. This is not to replace the local church but is a supplication throughout the week to help you remember the Word that you focused on the previous Sunday. Sometimes our topics will be easy to walk through but there will be times in which we will be discussing extremely sensitive topics that might not be suitable for all audiences. Please do realize that this is not a place of criticism but of open-ended conversations in which we will navigate through the Word of God and see how to apply it to our lives. Your lives and the lives of our guests as well. Sometimes throughout the podcast you will hear my son to get a younger perspective of the world that we encounter and what the younger generation is having to fight through that the older generation may not have had to work through. What is the foundation of an authentic life? That truly depends on who you ask and the majority of answers will vary. So grab yourself a cup of coffee, some tea, or whatever you like to drink and let's begin the journey into this podcast.
