Cabin Conversations episodes:

December 13, 2023Regular Formation
Where Dave, Whitney and Gabby sit down to talk about life, reading, and letting your light shine. They discuss that we have a liturgy whether you're intentional about it or not, and your affections follow your liturgies. Letting your light shine - is that a passive thing or an active thing? Community does not equal small groups. Proximity is so important for letting your light shine. Letting your light shine in situations with unbelievers. Books/Content:

December 06, 2023Reading Together
Where Dave, Whitney and Jed sit down and talk puppies and dogs, reading patterns and habits. How much content do you consume - and how and when do you read, listen or process that content? They then turn their attention to "turning on the lights" when we're facing tough situations - which is reading the Bible. But how and when do we read the Bible - especially if it's something we've struggled with before? They talk about the value of corporate Bible reading. Book List:

November 22, 2023 Thankfully Thanksgiving
Where Dave, Whitney, and David process a gratitude journal, and the joys of raising Ebenezer's in the midst of walking through the hard stuff of life. There's a realization that in cultivating gratitude, it allows you to say that you can see God's movement in the course of your life. As they process the sermon, they ask, "Where is your place to process?" You can't microwave community.

November 15, 2023The Long Game
Where Dave, Whitney and Doug sit down and discuss seasons in life and how they affect our morning routines. They talk about Scripture - it's both convicting and affirming as we walk through life! And they wrestle with prayer: how often do we pray , only to have God answer it in a way we didn't expect - different but better than we could have expected? Sometimes answers to prayers take decades and years. Doug states, "If not for a view of eternity, how could we be faithful?"

November 08, 2023Being Courageously Authentic
Where Dave, Whitney and Colton sit down and talk about listening to the podcast, and being embedded in a local church. They wrestle with what community looks like, and how we can let down our guards and let other people into our messy and authentic selves. What does Christ-centered, local church embodying hospitality look like? They wrestle with the nature of courage, and the fact that courage comes from the Holy Spirit. But how do we discern if we're being Spirit-led courageous, or just brash? Ultimately, if we're defined by a love of Jesus, we need to be shaped by a loving of Jesus and what he does.

November 01, 2023 Following God's Leading
Where Whitney, Dave and Jaime sit down and talk about morning simplicities, the New York Times game Connections, and using your phone in the morning. They wrestle with the big questions of how God works - in the simple, unknowable ways and in the complex, obvious ones. And they discuss Sunday's sermons, and the heartbeat that ministry is a posture, not a program. It's part of who we are and flows into what we do.

October 18, 2023Quickly Slowing Down
Where Dave, Whitney and Justin talk (slowly) about the speed of podcasts and the medium of content consumption. Please, email us at [email protected] and let us know how quickly you listen! They talk about going through the fruit of the spirit and allowing it to move to confession and aspiration. And, they process preaching, preaching prep, and the participatory nature on Sunday mornings. It's a lot of fun! Books Referenced:

October 11, 2023 Be More Awkward!
Where Whitney, Dave, and Jed talk about morning coffee and speaking in tongues (two things that probably shouldn't happen together!). They continue to talk about Sunday morning authenticity, and slowing down and quieting down. Jed comments that, "The best ministry happens in the margins," and encouraged people to be more awkward!

October 04, 2023 Trusting and Seeking our Gracious God
Where Dave, Whitney, and Keelea talk through seeing God in creation, and the beauty of special revelation and general revelation. Dave goes on a few tangents and tells stories, and then the three process how God leads His church - how are we supposed to understand this, especially when people mess up? They wrestle with the reality that what's best for "the body" might not be best for "me." We need to die to self...

September 27, 2023 Intentionality in prayer and witnessing
Where Dave, Whitney, and Gabby sit down and talk about international travel, God's faithfulness in the midst of transitions, and the difference in churches between Europe and America. They process a wonderful morning routine that Gabby shares, and then dive into talking about the sermon, witnesses, and the value of humility. A great reminder: when we're talking with others, we're not witnessing to our own perfection - we're witnessing to Jesus' perfection.`` Join us!
