Foothills Studio Conversations

Drew Berryessa is a very unique voice in the conversation on biblical sexuality as it pertains to homosexuality and the churches response to it. How should the church react to homosexuality? Does the Gospel truly transform lives? Many Christians feel like they have a good foundation for these questions but when applied to sexual identity and homosexuality we have questions and doubts. Bryce & Mark pick Drew’s brain on this and much more.

All things are permissible, but not all things are beneficial. We live in a time when it seems like many people want to restrict speech all around the world. What do we think of free speech? What is a Christians role in culture in how they interact with the calling to be peacemakers and glorify God in with their lives? Mark and Bryce discuss.

As social media has grown the amount of information we share has expanded.  This has caused many people to close up and reject any kind of openness with others.  Others have gone the other way oversharing things usually reserved for close family and friends.  Bryce and Mark talk about the idea of transparency in relationships and transparency with God.  What are the dangers, fears and freedoms that come from being transparent about who you are?  How do we know when it’s safe to share?  Let us know your thoughts @foothillscp on twitter or instagram.

The topic of abortion is a divisive one. But, it’s one the church must engage in to be a light in our culture. Is this a political issue or a spiritual one? How do we bring grace, compassion and truth into this topic? How do we offer a soft landing to women embroiled in this battle? How can men step in and be a positive force of grace and truth? Bryce sits down with Tanelle Forgy of Pregnancy Counseling Services and OBGYN Dr. Alli Tobin-WIlliams and have a discussion about this and much much more.

People love their personality tests.  Why do we do the things we do?  Why do the people we love do the things they do?  What motivates us?  What defines us?  These tests are beneficial for a lot of reasons.  There are also a lot of potential pitfalls if we are not careful.  In this episode, Mark, Linnea, and Bryce talk about the utility of these tests in the life of a Christian.

Do we choose burnout or is it inevitable.  It seems in this highly busy culture we live that we’re often teetering on the brink of burning out.  What does that look like?  How does that effect us and how can we handle it and even overcome.  Bryce gets together with Mark and Debbie to discuss the dangers and methods of overcoming burnout.

Bryce and Mark talk about this strange lockdown we find ourselves in. We discuss how we processed the news as things started to change rapidly, how we're feeling now, what we're learning and what Foothills Church is doing.

With all this anxiety around Pastor Phil talks about why he is not worried right now. Not that he's naive, but trusting. Check out his conversation and share your thoughts below. This was filmed before the April 30th extension announced on March 29th.

Our culture is in distress. You turn on the news and it seems as if racial relations have never been worse. How do we as Christians respond to this? How do we celebrate our cultural, political and ideological differences and remain unified under our mission of serving Christ. Bryce sits down with Xavier Williams and Pamela Poff to discuss this issue as it pertains to daily life and life at Foothills Church.

Sometimes it seems like Jesus gets sidelined in our weeks. How often do we take the time to discuss the small and large interventions that God has brought into our lives with family and friends? Why do we openly discuss our profession and not our faith? Mark and Sam discuss.
