Jesus In This Mess

Disappearing into the Sacred Place

The kingdom of God is a network. And luckily, you don't have to scheme to be in with God's in-crowd.

Be careful how you judge, for the manifestations of God are mysterious. But those who love the light will see past outward incongruities.

Finding a calling in life

And the tools for its creation -

This week we speak of these things.

And last of all the means of distribution.

These questions preoccupy the man or woman

Who believes that his or her life is more than 9 to 5.

But God is in charge.

He is the one, in the end, who gives us our vocation.

There are two types of faith that must work within the followers of Christ. And these two types of faith, on the surface, appear contradictory. When manifest in one person, they can be both frightening and offensive to those who are not strong in faith. In this week's episode, we examine both of these types of faith and share some examples of people who possessed both.

Sometimes a vacation is just what we need. In this episode, we discuss some of the less desirable but no less needful vacations we take.

In this week's episode, we discuss how to navigate difficult conversations.

When God plant's a song in your heart, how can you keep from singing? And yet, the mystery of God is difficult to express. We do so brokenly. This week we explore what it is to be called of God to speak.

In this week's episode, we discuss the bubbles we create for ourselves, tiny microcosms of tenuous peace. Our home, our community, our country, and even our thought structures are ways to shield ourselves from the chaos that lurks on the outside.

But what happens to those who fall in between? What can be done for broken souls who have lost the protective bubble of family, and community, and even sanity?

It's hard to know. There are programs designed to help. And we each can do our part as we feel prompted. But there are no really good answers except for one: Jesus Christ. In Him, we have a home. He is the ultimate protective bubble.

Often God intervenes at the last moment. And we can feel as if we are hanging by a thin thread. This week we explore this aspect of God's providence and share more stories from the road.
