Where Dave, Whitney, and Keelea go through the Marvel/Bible challenge, and quote Pastor Jed Haas: "Clarity leads to confidence and the courage to act."

"I can live my ordinary life in front of people who don't know Christ, and introduce them to Jesus." - Whitney Swenson. They talk about how to get on missionary newsletters and how to pray for them. "Don't be discouraged by the best we bring - but be encouraged to be with Jesus." - Keelea Chartrand Listen to the end, cause there's some !!

March 01, 2023 Giving and Accountability in the Church
Where Dave, Whitney and Tammi sit down to discuss gracious giving. We go through Marvel verses the Bible, and reflect on the powerful names of God. Seeing the size and majesty of God affects how we approach Him! As we talk about Woodlands' finances, we learn that all the money is handled by a clown! But don't worry, we talk through the specifics of the budget and how money is handled. There's a high level of accountability, and giving develops the incredible blessing of depending on God. It bears eternal fruit and blesses people.

February 21, 2023 Giving it our all
Where Dave, Whitney and David sit down to talk about Aaron Rodgers (we're probably over him), and where we talk about superheros and the Bible. They talk about the priorities of the church, and the wonderful way they're laid out. Faithfulness doesn't just happen; we don't drift towards faithfulness. How is your spiritual growth plan going?

February 16, 2023 The Power of Worship
Where Dave, Whitney and Justin talk through Sunday's sermon about gathering in large and small groups. They discuss the ongoing importance of small groups, but wrestle with the unique power of music to form how we think about God in large groups (and how that can be a bad thing!). They talk through controversial worship lyrics, and cookie dough comes up AGAIN. And, they introduce a brand new segment - 'Marvel or The Bible?'! Not surprisingly, Justin sets a high score (the previous high score was 0).

January 26, 2023Finding 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.
