Barry introduces the new summer 2018 series called BYOB: Bring Your Own Bible. This week we focus on Matthew 5: 38-42 and Matthew 6: 19-34 (17:03). We talk about the 3 Worlds of Text (21:10), Biblical Literacy (24:00), Why We Read the Bible (30:07), Interpretation (and resources) (46:16), Reading the Bible Incorrectly? (56:15), Rhythms (59:38) and What Do We Do Now? (1:08:50). Thanks for listening!

This week the crew recaps their Memorial Day weekends. Tim Ayers takes everyone through 400 years of Jewish slavery in the Bible and talks about justice (19:20). Then the entire gang reflects on the most recent school shooting that happened to be right down the road from the church (43:00). Then they listen to some of Tim and Maron's favorite deep cuts in the first edition of "Songs Tyler has Never Heard Before" (1:07:00).

Barry saw Hamilton. Maron moved last week. Dave & Amy are here to talk about power and the mistreatment of women. The whole crew talks about the implications of the #metoo movement in the church - specifically at Grace. Heads up - we're rating this pod PG because of the sensitive nature of the discussion.

This week on Between Sundays, Dave Rod joins us again to talk about his weekend message on the patriarch Joseph (20:08).

This week on Between Sundays we have Amy Christie on to talk about her weekend message about persisting with God (23:16). We talk about real life examples of persisting in faith (29:57), how persistence and prayer work together (38:43), what happens when we stop persisting (44:43), and seasons of life when it’s easier or harder to persist in faith (47:44). Thanks for listening!

We’re getting back into the swing of things this week on Between Sundays! Dave Rod joins us to talk about his weekend message that kicked off our new sermon series called Moral of the Story about parables Jesus told (20:35). Dave talked about the Good Samaritan and how sacrificially serving our neighbors in need is the certification of faith (23:30). Our hosts talk about understanding your neighbor (29:46), paying attention (34:28) and what it means to practically serve people around you (42:33). Thanks for listening!

Between Sundays looks a little different this week. Our hosts are out of the office, so we’re sharing with you a never-before listened to episode with Grace’s Associate Pastor of Center for Church Leadership, Corinne Gunter. A few months ago, before we officially launched Between Sundays, Tyler and Maron talked with Corinne about her weekend message at Grace on the Tower of Babel. They talked about calling, identity, empathy and reconciliation across cultures. It was originally intended to be a practice episode, but it was an awesome conversation, so we wanted to share it with you! Next week we’ll be back to our regular shows, but for now, enjoy this special episode of Between Sundays! Thanks for listening!
