Grow Together

This conversation with Jeremy about his book Love Anyway is a snapshot of the lessons learned by choosing to love first and ask questions later, specifically over the last 20 years in Turkey, Iraq and Syria. Jeremy’s journey has been absolutely amazing to witness and has been life changing for me.

This conversation with Glenn about his book Blessed, Broken, Given is a wonderful meandering through the three things that Jesus does with the bread–blesses, breaks, and gives it and how these three movements play out in our own lives.

This conversation with Kim and Alison about their book Boundaries for the Soul will help you understand and give grace to yourself. We grow up with some pretty complicated things going on inside of us and understanding the way that God made us through metaphor and science is an amazing treat.

Scott Sauls has an interesting premise represented in the title of his book Irresistible Faith. Sometimes faith seems resistible and even repulsive. But if there is an element to our faith that would make it irresistible to us and to those around us, what can we do to see that happen here and now. This conversation with Pastor Scott Sauls is a very helpful perspective.

In her new book, Taste and See, Margaret explores different stories from the scriptures that have to do with meals and finds God in unexpected places in these stories. She goes on an expedition to interview people that add to her insights and help ignite imagination in her readers. She is an inspiration in reading with an open mind and soft eyes.

This conversation with Pastor Rick McKinley about Faith For This Moment is extremely appropriate for this moment. The first part of the book helps us understand the importance of exile in living as Christians specifically in America. If we will lean on the leading of God for those in exile it will help us tremendously. Then, in the second part of the book he lays out five spiritual disciplines that will help us not fit into the culture without even thinking about it. Some of the stuff that his church at Imago Dei in Portland, Oregon are doing to be salt and light is an inspiration.

Love, Skip, Jump has been a constant conversation starter since we read it. Of all of the books that we have read to date, it has created the most interesting and life giving discussions. We had to record this interview over the phone and the software cut the interview short by about 10 minutes, but we were still able to capture the amazing energy that Shelene brings to her faith.
