On the newest episode of the pod, I am honored to talk with my friend, Maurice Woods, Field Director for Prison Fellowship in Southern California. This is Maurice’s story. But it’s so much more than that, as Maurice would say. This is Jesus’ story. Let’s pod!

Recently, we have begun to experience the cultural and ecclesial reckoning of a certain kind of masculinity and the fallout of a spiritually fatherless generation. A fatherless generation is many things at once: hurt, needy, suspicious of authority, desperate for approval from authority, passive, aggressive, given to all manner of extremes. On the podcast today, I am joined by Pastor Tim Parlier for a conversation about humility, masculinity, and the type of leadership Christian men are called to pursue. Let's pod!

Ex-vangelicals. Nones. So much press has been given to the droves of people who have left or are leaving the Christian church in America. Numbers are down in every demographic, and dramatically so among the younger generations. Some few are remaining, though, working through the challenges of life, and growing with Jesus, in season and out. Those that keep the faith in this post-Christian moment are necessarily resilient disciples. And we need to hear more of their stories.  I am pleased to bring you one of those stories on today's podcast, the story of my best friend, Jess Carlucci. Let's pod!

On this episode we conclude our four-part series on C.S. Lewis's The Four Loves with a discussion of agape, the love that moves the sun and other stars. Agape is the goal of all human love, but it is also a love demands our complete vulnerability and surrender to experience it. I hope you'll join Rev. Hayden Butler and I for this important conversation. Let's pod!

Millions of Christians in America are living in alternate realities.  The church has been contaminated by tribalism and individualism.  How do we move forward in a moment like this without losing touch with what's real?  On this second to last podcast of our second season, Pastor John Hallowell offers us a four-fold approach to finding God and living a real life in a land of alternate realities.  Let's pod!
