We were live! Between Sundays first venture on to Facebook Live was a hit...the second time around. After Tyler remembered to hit the record button, the gang was off talking about everything that happened while Tyler was on the beach. They welcome Dave on to discuss last week's sermon about the Gospels (10:33) and then Harrison Borttoff joins to talk about his approach to reading Scripture and prayer (21:33). Finally, they all discuss this week's passage to read about the small man in the Sycamore tree - Luke 19:1-10 - and take a look at the worlds of the text together (33:14).

Catch us on Facebook Live every Monday at 3:30 p.m. at facebook.com/GraceChurchIN/

Tyler, Barry, & Maron are all time traveling to talk about Philippians 2:1-11 and the worlds of the text. What must it have been like to tell all these Caesar-loving Greeks what divinity truly meant. Also, the gang gets personal in discussing how reading these passages is impacting them in their own lives.
