Cabin Conversations episodes

  • Guarding our Hearts
    Where Dave, Whitney and Keelea settle back into regular podcasting life, and talk about reading, not finishing, and skimming leadership books. In talking about 2 John, they process walking in truth and love. They talk about walking in love as bearing with a person through the muck and junk of life. They love Pastor Jon's quote, "Following God's commands isn't legalism, it's wisdom." And then they wrestle with the question, "What does it mean to teach sound, biblical truth?" How do we know when someone has gone off the rails? How do we guard against untruth? And how do we disagree in love? Get a Cabin Conversations mug: https://thechurch.shop/shop/woodlands-church/

  • God Came Down

    Where Dave, Whitney and Jon sit down to talk middle names and reeding habits. They talk about the incarnation, and God's desire to have a relationship with mankind, so much so that He chose to do it himself - come as a vulnerable baby. As befits the sermon, they wrestle with songs and the lyrics of Christmas tunes. And talk State fair food.

  • Regular 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:

  • Reading 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:

  • 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.

    46 min
  • The 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?"

    Books:

    • The Praying Church - Paul Miller
    43 min
  • Being 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.

    Books:
    • Living Like Monks, Praying Like Fools - Tyler Stanton
    45 min
  • 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.

    Books:

    Abiding in Christ - Andrew Murry
    40 min
  • Quickly 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:
