In this episode we recap our Thanksgiving and start dissecting a message forwarded to us by a listener. Thanks for tuning in!

The gravitational pull of life is towards self-centeredness, to look out for my interests and/or the interests of my tribe over the interests of others. While this is natural, its also disastrous. The Apostle Paul points us to a better way. Have the same mindset as Jesus. Be a servant.

Paul's back! We chat about our week and have some encouraging conversation about the state of the global church.

Our culture is increasingly divided. Is there any hope for unity? The church is uniquely positioned to be a a unifying voice and example in the world, but the church must first be unified. A divided world needs a unified church.

Is God pulling the strings of everything? Do humans have free will? Some candid conversation.

Anger seems to permeate our cultural discourse, but does it lead anywhere constructive? Proverbs tells us that "fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end." Let's be wise.

The 2020 presidential election is behind us. We talk about that, both political parties trying to create their version of utopia, and some crazy preachers take on the election too.

The election is over and there's a lot of fear going around and the solution isn't faith, its love.

Its fine to remember, reflect on, and learn from the past, but we can't live there. There is more ahead. If we are pursuing Jesus the best is yet to come.

Remember the past. Look to the future. Eyes on Jesus.

Jesus made a habit of saying yes to those who had said no to faith or who had been told no by the religious people of their day. As a church we are here to say YES to those who have said no to church, or feel like the church has said no to them.
