Continuing the Conversation

We discuss Romans 12 and what the Bible calls sanctification. The Lord is after our heart and sharpens us to look more like Christ. 

We are back at it again in answering the question: how do I suffer well? This question comes out of Romans 5 and is part of what we have been reading in our community groups the last few weeks! 

Josh interviews Cam to hear his story about how he came to Christ. Cam also graciously shares with us  what he has seen the Lord do in his life from high school through this past year.

Josh interviews Jim Lee who is a servant at heart and a group leader in Gather! Jim loves Jesus and shares great insight on a few different questions on dating.  

We had a Q & A panel a few weeks ago where our people asked great questions on dating. These questions today are ones that were asked but we didn't get to the night of the panel. If you didn't come to hear everything that night, you missed it. Our panel of married couples knocked it out of the park, but...this is just a little taste of what you missed. We will have more questions next episode!

Josh talks with Anna about her story and how through struggle she began to see God's Word as vital to life. We all struggle and have fears, but the Bible routinely tells us to "fear not" because there is a Savior who has "overcome the world" (John 16:33). God's Word brings peace and comfort despite the circumstances or situations we may find ourselves in.

In this episode, Maddy joins Josh and Mark to talk about how we should view work, how our culture views work, and how the Bible teaches us about work. While talking about work, they also talk about when to rest. We need to rest for work, instead of resting from work! 

We discuss the importance of living a life that reflects Jesus Christ. How we  measure if we are reflecting Christ well is by looking at how Jesus lived.  He went up on the mountain to pray, spent time with his disciples, and ate with tax collectors and sinners. This triangle is a tool to help us assess how we are living in relationship with God. 

We discuss the Learning circle (Kairos circle) and how it is a helpful tool to use after big impactful moments. We often ask two questions in these kinds of heavier moments in our lives: what is God saying and what am I going to do about it? We need help in processing both of these BIG questions. The goal of going through the Kairos circle is to learn from the moment and move forward. The Church helps us process in light of past experiences, what is the next right decision to make? We cannot observe or reflect fully without using God's Word to guide us. 

We interview Anika to hear about what Christ has done in her life! We long to hear what God has done and is doing in people's lives.
