Tasha and Phil talk about the relationship between suffering and joy.  How does Jonah's time in the belly of the fish inform our understanding of discipleship and God's will?  Can we grow in our faith by dying to ourselves.  These topics and more this week.  Join us!

This week Phil and Tasha talk about Jonah 1: 4-16; Jonah's stormy mediterranean cruise.  We talk about what it means to be called by God, what God's call may be in our own lives, and what type of figure Jonah actually is.  Join us.

During August our podcast will echo our sermon series and focus on the Book of Jonah.  In episode one Tasha and Phil look at verses 1-3 of chapter 1 of Jonah.  We talk about the call of the prophet, what it means to heed or flee that call, and what Jonah's story has to do with our own.  Join us!  

Those of us who follow Jesus know we should be more disciplined in prayer, scripture reading and more.  But how do we do this?  What difference does it make?  Are we thinking too small with our understanding of practicing our faith?

In a brief episode, Phil and Rham talk about getting along at home when there are big differences in faith practices, values or politics.  There are no easy answers, but perhaps some basic principles can help folks bridge divides in their own household.
