Cabin Conversations episodes

  • 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!

  • 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...

  • 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!

  • It's Easy to Destroy Stevie's Legos!

    Where Dave, Whitney and Barry sit down to talk about breaking legos, morning routines, and being transparent at church. What does it really mean to be authentic in a big church, with lots of people? Is there are time it's ok to be fake - what does that even mean? The takeaway challenge asks, "What's one way you can personally step towards deeper authenticity in church?" How can we slow down, make margin, and value people? How can we avoid throwaway phrases with others?

  • A New Season in Cabin Conversations!
    Where Jon, Whitney and Dave sit down and talk about Jon's beautiful morning routines, and redeeming breakfast time with kids. They discuss the relatability of Peter, and the fact that faith is something that we practice, not necessarily have. In life with Jesus, scary does not mean dangerous! And failure and disobedience, while walking with the Spirit, can result in growth. If this is true, how do we invite people into life together and do community with others?

  • A Place of Creation Goodness
    Where Dave, Whitney and Doug sit down and talk about vacations and birds - and they talk a lot about birds - and then God's Kingdom as a place of creation goodness. They discuss God's intentional purpose is for our goodness. Doug asks "What's so enticing about evil - it runs off the cliff towards destruction?" And they talk about the sinful human drive for significance - and how in heaven, we'll have perfect relational freedom, because their significance won't diminish ours.

  • Jesus is Fully Human (and so are we!)

    Where Whitney, Dave and Jed spend time talking about Jesus' humanity in the book of Mark. In his humanity, Jesus is ordinary - there's not even a physical description of Jesus in the Bible! And yet he's extraordinary too - how do we wrestle with this?

    Jed tells the podcast that preparing for last week's sermon helped increase his intimacy with Jesus: it's always worth it to spend time with Jesus! Time with Jesus will transform you - just like spending time with your spouse. Afterall, you study your spouse - not to earn their love but to get to know them more; studying Jesus will help you spend time with Him. Books Referenced:

  • Digging into Mark 1:1

Then, they take a dive into Mark 1:1, looking at Greek words, study skills, manuscript evidence, and wrestling with how to find confidence to teach a text. It's a ride!
