Cabin Conversations episodes

  • Finding and Creating Practical Dependence

    Where David, Whintey and Jaime chat about Dawn Powerwash, Norwex dishrags, modern maps and mistaken islands. They chat through what it means to "enjoy God's people, God's Word, and God's World, especially in the snowy tundra of Wisconsin winter. And then do a deep dive into prayer - the need to cultivate and ground ourselves in prayerful dependence on God in every situation and circumstance. They process prayer cards and the importance of those cards, and the practicality of using prayer cards. The challenge? Habits don't accidentally show up in your life.

  • Building On Our Purpose in 2023

    Where Dave and Whitney and Jed process Sunday's sermon on the purpose of Woodlands. We're going to see a whimsical Jed in 2023, and how do we redeem our whitespace time?

  • Read the Bible!

    Where Whitney, Keelea and Dave process through last week's panel discussion on quiet times. "God's thoughts are not our thoughts," and that should motivate us to spend time in His word! They process how beautiful, and complicated, and complex God's word is, and cover resources, tools, and ways to grow biblical literacy. They also talk about hot peppers and worst enemies. It's ok to not have the answers!

  • The Most Wonderous Time of the Year
    Where Dave, Whitney, and Justin sit down to discuss what really is wet, make the argument that Christmas needs to be moved, and wonder what it looks like to do your homework for Jesus? Justin wrestles with the Shema, and describes it as the heart that loves God, "with everything you do, everything you are, and everything else." Whitney references Hannah Anderson's: The Turning of Days

  • Following the King!
    Where Dave, Whitney and Doug talk about how delicious brussel sprouts are supposed to be, and their inability to bring a gift fit for a king (but is drumming really the answer?). They talk about leading groups through sermon based discussions, and what it means to truly follow Jesus. And prayer! Today matters because eternity is real.
    47 min
  • Following the Spirit, and oh! Christmas
    Where Dave, Whitney, and Colton sit down to talk about surviving the Wisconsin winters and the weight of ants. How do we hand off ministry and empower others, and surrender to the Spirit (without being weird)? C.S. Lewis and the Wingfeather saga, (which you should totally check out!) Oh, and they talked about Christmas. Before Thanksgiving.

  • Focusing on the Right Stuff

    Where Dave, Whitney, and Hannah talk about crazy Olympic sports and activities, working through our identities - both in Christ and in ministry - and the incredible promise of a new life. Also, who can order all seven books of the Narnia series? And some of the most adult ways to spend $500.

    53 min
  • Do Thanksgiving Like Jesus
    Where Dave, Whitney and Barry sit down and talk decapitated sea slugs, freedom in Christ, and accountability. The conversation morphs towards the incredible graciousness of Jesus, and works to process what it would be like to have Jesus at our Thanksgiving dinner table.
    50 min
  • Freedom to be Loved

    Where Whitney, Dave, and Jed sit down and talk through homonyms (what even is a homonym??!), God's strengthening and enduring love for us, what voices you're listening to - and how they speak to you - and our incredible freedom to live that GOOD way God designed us. Jed references the Echo Prayer App - check it out in your Android or iOS app store!
