Aaron and Bryce discuss evangelism; the what, why, how, and who.  Give it a listen! 

A few weeks back, Trevor and Josh sat down to discuss the pandemic, the Christian discussion around masks, and how we MUST navigate differing convictions in these contentious times.

Trevor and Aaron discuss the difference between God's rest and ours, and the presence of God we experience now and what we'll experience in the New Jerusalem.

Trevor and Aaron discuss a few recently questions. 

What is the purpose of The Big Questions forum? Why are we choosing to do it at this time?

What does help from God actually look like? I can't see him. If the church is Jesus' body, how do I distinguish between looking for encouragement from him through his body vs. merely relying on other humans? How do I know that help from the church is actually help from God and not just some nice people?

Trevor and Aaron discuss a few recently questions. With a guest appearance from Trevor's kids.

Once again pastoral resident, Jonathan Franklin, talks with our church planter, Bryce Harrison, and one of our members, Reagan Koschel, on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic, The Lord of the Rings, and how they help us love Jesus.

How ought we think of hell? And specifically annihilationism?

What about the death penalty? Can broken people in a broken system deliver true justice?

Trevor, Aaron, & Bryce spend some time discussing these two questions via Zoom. Thanks, Zoom!

The questions Trevor and Aaron tackle:

Schools are closed for the foreseeable future due to Covid-19. That means there are lots of parents in our body who now have to figure out what it looks like to homeschool.  Trevor thought it’d be helpful to recruit a few of our homeschooling mothers to give some advice to those of us newly-minted homeschooling parents.  What do we need to know? Recognizing that some of us have been thrown into the fire with no experience or preparation, what are some helpful things to remember and a few best practices? And what are a few heart-level encouragements for us in this season? Listen to Trevor's chat with Sarah Gilliam, one our pastor's wives, with some additional help from two members of TCGS, Lauren Riddle and Leah Weisbecker.
