Cards on the Table

In 2020, we have attempted a few "tight-wire" topics. Well, here goes another one. Listen as Steven, your "Slightly Annoying Host", and Casey begin to talk about POLITICS. Hey, don't swipe or click away! It's really is a good conversation. Call it Part One...we found we had a lot to consider!

Author, Teacher, and Small Group Leader - BARBARA MOON shares her experiences and revelations around brain science + relationship with Jesus. Some call it Nuero-Theology. Others would call it living the way He intends us to live...in relationships

When life ruptures, how quickly does it take to repair? How soon do you RETURN TO JOY?

Listen as Steven and Casey learn from Barbara things which most of us have never even heard.

Steven and Casey talk about something that gets largely overlooked in our relationships with Christ. We talk a lot about our need to love the LORD with all that we are and loving our neighbor as ourselves. However, what about receiving God's love for us? To whom have we really attached ourselves? God is the most secure bond and/or attachment we can ever have. He is the only certainty. And...He loves us perfectly. That's something to get excited about!

My friend, Darrell Jones is a "heart level" man in my life. He has been for 15 years. He is one of a few black friends in my life. We can talk about anything, and we have. I have learned a bunch about Jesus and life from my time with Darrell.

We recorded this Podcast Episode today, and then I got this from my friend. Thanks again, Darrell.

Darrell's Corner

With all that is going on in the world today, we need to take time to focus on our faith and we need a STRONG GOD. I listen to music and find that it often speaks to me. The song Strong God reminded me that we are currently in a "MAYDAY, MAYDAY". From COVID-19 to the unrest due to race relations we have a lot to ask God. In asking we must take time and listen for his response. We should be prepared when the response takes us out of our comfort zone, because the first step is the hardest. But the strength of our faith in God helps to push us forward. The strength of our faith keeps us from focusing on the ills of this current world and keeps our heads lifted to the sky in hope for and working towards a brighter future. By keeping our focus on God we can find the common ground and LOVE for each other that will lead to understanding and us being able to see each other. Through the devotion of our faith in God and appreciation for our fellow humans, most especially the children, to have a better world - we have our work cut out.

Ten years ago, Todd Miechiels began a full time work to harvest stories of God's redemption in the lives of Christ followers. The end product is a person's five minute story expressed in a well thought out manner captured on video. Once produced, the object of the game to export the video file to all who know you and many who don't. We all have a story. Todd's journey into this undeniable passion has been surprising, fulfilling, and full of new learnings. Listen as Todd shares his heart for others!

Join Steven & Casey as we interview Singer/Song Writer, ROBBIE TRICE. Among many other accolades, Robbie wrote "Alpha and Omega", which the Gaither Vocal Band has recorded and performed all over the world. At https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjrivXWczGU

you can see one of these performances which has over 12 million hits on youtube. Robbie explains the way God has historically put him in situations where he has been seemingly unprepared but forced into total dependence on the Father.

Kevin, Steven, and Casey think out loud together with no plan of where the show is going. Now, there's a shocker! Where we land - is the impact of the Pandemic with all of its challenges - in our own lives. Isolation, uncertain economics, self reflection with fewer distractions, and many more impacts might give us some unique opportunities. What are they?

In January of 2019, we set out to begin our Podcast journey via the launch of CARDS ON THE TABLE. We had no clue on where to start. By God's grace, Steven Julian had worked as a co-host on other Podcasts, knew Jodey Smith. Jodey, according to us and others, knows everything about this very unique world of Podcasting. Jodey came to our rescue. So, we decided to interview him on this episode! Thanks Jodey!

The question, "What is truth?" has been asked many times. Although the answer is precise, as is Truth, the various answers are many. Rob Marbury, an Atlanta Advertising Agency Executive talks with Steven and Casey about the origin of this wave of us believing that truth is really what we perceive it to be. Is Truth absolute? What are the down sides, if any, should that be True about Truth itself?
