God said what?








Listen on Spotify

Wouldn't it be weird if our ears moved when we listened to something? Maybe that'd help us listen better. This week, we talk about what it means to listen to God (and maybe even to others).

Sermons, scares & scripture


 Listen on Spotify





In this episode, we dive into liberation theology, explore how sermons should resonate (and for how long!), check out a new Bible for kids with dyslexia, and tackle the question: should Christians watch horror movies? From scares to Scripture, it’s a packed episode of thoughtful—and sometimes spooky—conversation! E128

Wrong way, right reasons?


Listen on Spotify


This week, we dive into one of the wildest ethical dilemmas yet: What happens when someone does the wrong thing for the “right” reasons? Inspired by the real-life story of a man who stole a car just to make it to his court hearing (for—you guessed it—car theft), we explore the complexities of making ethical decisions as Christians. How do we navigate those gray areas where right and wrong seem to blur? And how should our faith guide us when we’re faced with tricky moral choices?

Whoops to Wisdom


Listen on Spotify
 

 Tom, Joseph, and John share the missteps, and "oops" moments from our ministries that have shaped us, humbled us, and even made us better leaders. We’re reflecting on the lessons learned through our failures and how God’s grace shines brightest in our imperfections.

 

He Got Caught Reading


Listen on Anchor.fm




We settle the question of whether listening to an audio book is reading. Is reading the point of reading? And how is reading connected to faith in Jesus? E122



 

Just do one thing this year


 


There's a better way to change! Instead of bombarding yourself with so many life goals and resolutions, be like Marathon Man and pick one thing. Tom and John sit down for the year's first episode.

What is the will of God?


How do you know what God's will is and if you're following it? It can be a tough discerning process. So, where do we start? What about marrying the Holy Spirit? Is that God's will? E37

What do you care about?


Marvin Gaye's album "What's Going On?" turns 50 this week. You'll be grateful none of us sing, but we do reflect on how Gaye's question can help the church figure out where God is leading us now. And some how we squeeze in some baseball and Lego talk. E36

Chasing happiness


What does it mean to be happy? How do you get happiness? Is happiness even worth the effort? Tina joins Tom, John and Wade to talk about the pursuit of happiness for Christians. E33

Should "Christian" mean "Family Friendly"?


"Safe for the whole family" is something a lot of us can appreciate. In this week's episode, the guys talk about why "safe" and "Christian" movies, music and even sermons may not be all that helpful. They may keep us from telling the whole truth about life and faith and just how powerful the grace of God is. E29

The Next Right Thing




 Are we in the apocalypse? Maybe. Probably. If we are, what's the next right thing to do?
