Deeper

Our human anger will never be able to bring about God's Justice. That doesn't mean there's nothing that should make us angry, but it DOES mean that we have to be mindful how we let it motivate and guide us. Dan and Austin also spend some time today examining the relationship between our callings to care both about personal holiness and social responsibility. 

In this incredibly timely episode, Pastor Dan and Austin explore what to do when people's speech and actions fall short of the faith they profess. What is our responsibility when someone who shares our faith acts differently than they should? How do we make sure we are receptive to correction ourselves, and what does it mean to go through trials with hope? 

In our first ever video recording of the Deeper Podcast, Austin and Dan talk about the future of the podcast and practical ways to live out our FRIEND acronym.

We've officially wrapped up our series on being Clothed. How do we find encouragement with the vision of the future given to us in Revelation while still being in the thick of struggles

Love is far more than just the emotion we think of so often, it's a call to action. Though the ways we "do" love can different, the calling of "who" and "what" are very clear. Dan and Austin look at our calling to love, and specifically what it can mean to Love with our finances. 

We are back from summer vacation, and ready to dive back into things! Today, Dan and Austin talk about the ways we may find ourselves in the role of the Crowds that surround Jesus, instead of being the "main characters" that we often think of ourselves as. They also discuss the similarities of this story with the stories both preceding and following in Mark 5. 

Dan is on vacation this week, so we will be hearing instead from Skye Jethani- an author, pastor and commentator on themes we've discussed here in the Deeper podcast. Skye breaks down ways that we as Christians are tempted to take worldly tools to accomplish God's goals, how that's not biblical, and what our calling is instead. 

We will be back with new episodes of Deeper on August 6th! Enjoy your summer break, and we will see you next month!

As we roll into our summer series, Dan and Austin talk about what we do about inserting ourselves into God's plan- When do we act? When do we trust and obey? And how do we know if we've put our plans in the position God's plans should be? 

Our view on diversity is broken. The "Babel" mindset that we have as sinful humans is so persistent, but we are called to live with a more "Pentecost" perspective. Dan and Austin discuss diversity and how being made in the Image of God changes our attitude towards different people. 

The word "Blessing" is a fairly common one we hear in church circles. But what does it actually mean to be a blessing, or to receive one?
