Common Grace

On today’s episode of common grace we speak with Paul Stevens about work and how it fits into our daily lives as Christians. In our conversation we go beyond the church as a Sunday gathering place we discuss how Monday through Saturday work is a part of our spiritual life and a calling of ministry.  Join us as we explore what it means to be the scattered church.  

As Juneteenth is celebrated this month we had conversations around a Jesus centered approach to racial reconciliation and righteousness with David Swanson, and Rici and Phil Skei. David shares with us theological and ethical frameworks around issues of discipleship around race. Rici and Phil share stories from their own experience. If you haven't listened to our episode with Dominique Guilliard we strongly encourage you to go back and listen. Today we will be discussing how this topic effects us as people, as Christians. and how we deal with racial tensions within the church.

She touches on Holistic counseling, its place in the church, and why we so desperately need to get involved in the conversation.

Is being right more important than being trustworthy? Is it more important than being loving? This week we talk with Greg Boyd about his Book “Letters From a Skeptic” and how as Christians we can take a posture of intellectual humility, and tolerance. Greg shares that we should always be open to dialogue and ready to learn to avoid an idolatry of intellectual superiority.
