  • Q&A: Matt 6:1-18 & 5-13 - fasting, pure motives, contemplative prayer, repeating v. persisting, repentance denied!, & 'my personal relationship with God'

    The Q&A pod provides deeper insight into the Sunday teaching at Fellow Citizens by answering questions from the congregation and discussing parts of the text that weren't covered in the sermon.


    ⁠⁠Listen to the sermon on Matt 6:1-18

    and the sermon on Matt 6:5-13 here.


    It's a double pod! Ruth and Michael go for almost an entire hour (get your 2x ready folks!) and talk about a range of topics including: what happened to fasting?, Michael's love of attention, the difference between contemplative prayer and empty phrases, why persistence and repetition are 2 different concepts, Paul's thorn, comparing God to Amazon, lefties in our family, the relationship between extending and receiving forgiveness, and how having a "personal relationship with God" is not written in the Bible. Plus a little bonus conversation around Catholic v Orthodox v Protestant ways of relating to God and how the 5 solas of the Reformation form the foundation of our individual spiritual lives.


    It's a big one! Enjoy.

    The Q&A podcast provides deeper insight into the Sunday teaching at Fellow Citizens by answering questions from the congregation and discussing parts of the text that weren't covered in the sermon.


    ⁠Listen to the sermon on Matt 5:38-48 being discussed here⁠.


    In this episode, we open with another Arrested Development reference(!), and discuss the meaning of rewards in the sermon on the mount, the difference between seeking justice and getting revenge, a few extreme examples of grace such as in the Larry Nassar and Nashville shooting trials, the meaning of "be perfect" and how Bible headings are not actually *in* the Bible.

  • Q&A: Matt 5:33-37 - Presbyterians, oaths, saying "maybe," trust, & non-committal Denver

    It's our first episode! The Q&A podcast provides deeper insight into the Sunday teaching at Fellow Citizens by answering questions from the congregation and discussing parts of the text that weren't covered in the sermon.


    Listen to the sermon on Matt 5:33-37 being discussed here.


    In this episode we overview the Reformed, Puritan, and Presbyterian roots of this new podcast (and how Michael strangely identifies as a Charismatic Presbyterian). Then we discuss Jesus' teaching on oaths in the sermon on the mount. We talk about if Jesus prohibits taking any and all kinds of oaths, the proper use of the word 'maybe' (cousin Maeby?), what to do when someone violates your trust, and why saying anything other than 'yes' or 'no' is evil (or from the evil one).
