Why does it seem that faith and psychology are at odds? Do they have to be, or are there ways of integrating our relationship with God and clinical approaches to mental health? On Sunday, Kevin Dixon and psychologist Dave Verhaagen ⁠explored these questions⁠. On this week's NOW episode, Kevin continues the conversation with Suzie Lind, as they share their own experiences with mental health and as pastors.

On Sunday, we rethought the idea of "eternal life." Instead of the Old Testament idea of a messiah who ends the present age and introduces the age to come, Jesus brings his Kingdom into the midst of our messy present time. NOW roundtablers Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and special guest Seth Erre unpack the now-and-not-yet overlap between our evil age and the coming Kingdom age.

Plus: Suzie tries to save face, Mike loses the "Most Christ-like" competition, Kevin is practically pluperfect and Seth has left the building.

On Sunday, Mike Erre broke out his tech drawing tools to illustrate the difference between the Earth that perishes and an eternal life temple space. We're still trying to figure out what the hair on his globe means, but the discussion yielded questions on how people live in one space but still show behavior from the other one. Grant Opperman joins regulars Mike and Kevin Dixon to dig deeper.

Plus: Mike previews his upcoming drawings of time and the multiverse , Grant shouts out Mike's brother Brad Erre in the show notes and Kevin just wishes he had gone to Honduras or California this week with the rest of the Journey crew.

It turns out there's a difference between allegiance and personal commitment. As we learned this week, understanding the meaning of "pistis," the original Greek word for belief, makes all the difference. Rather than behavioral allegiance, it signifies active, committed loyalty to a person. So, how do we get it wrong when we say we believe in Jesus? The full NOW panel of Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons and Kevin Dixon returns this week to discuss, along with special guest Seth Erre,.

Plus: Suzie gets a sponsor, Seth uses two straws, Mike tries on his cranky pants, Tim shows how to hug with your eyes and Kevin picks up what the zoo animals leave behind.

This week, the Journey community recounted so many stories of Jesus' invitation extending those his "insider" followers didn't want to accept. Ethiopian eunuchs, Gentiles, unlicensed demon exterminators and more. All of which spurred listeners to ask: Where's the line? Isn't there any limit to who's eligible for the Kingdom? NOW rountablers Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Rob Gonzales consider the logic of drawing boundaries around Christian behavior.

On Sunday, Pastor Rob Gonzalez talked about fear and faith, challenging listeners to name their own fears. The responses we got were overwhelming. This week's roundtable panel—Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons, Nate Erre and special guest Seth Erre—explores their own experiences and understanding of how healthy faith and fear overlap.

Plus: It's SummerTim; Seth lives his best rock 'n' roll life and Mike and Suzie compete at graduation.

This week, hosts Kevin Dixon, Dave Verhaagen, and Sam Barnhart expore questions about questioning faith? Why does rethinking, questioning and being skeptical sometimes make us feel bad? Why are some people pre-disposed to deconstruct their understanding of God, while others remain comfortable? Is it just human to doubt, and how risky is it for our mental health?

The NOW podcast needs a bigger roundtable as Kaydee Carter, Betsy Raney, Nate Erre and Tim Stafford join regulars Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon, Tim Timmons and Mike Erre. Together, they explore how the truth is neither noun nor verb but actually a person. And, if you’re not confused enough by that idea, try living it.

Plus: Eyewitness accounts as Journey endures a swift storm, a special guest from the Red Era, Tim goes plural and Kevin yells at everyone to get off his lawn.
