We're continuing to study Ephesians, this week focusing on Paul's instructions to cast off old ways of living. That sounds great, but it's much easier to hear than to actually do. Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre answer listener questions about how to soften our hard hearts and what we do with anger about the ways our church communities have treated women and minorities.

It's another week with episode title suggestions from Mike Erre, so don't blame us. He's joined by fellow shiny domes Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons, as well as the hirsute Nate Erre. Together, they're talking about our latest learning from Ephesians: Can a job really be secular? Is everything spiritual? And, what keeps us from feeling prepared or adequate for our roles as ministers?

As we learn about unity, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons, Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon are asking when it’s okay to say enough is enough, break fellowship and walk away.

But first: Have you ever called someone you’ve known for years by the wrong name? Yeah, us neither. But apparently it’s a problem for Mike, who accidentally renamed our producer, Edwin Rivera III, and is still trying to splain it away.

What would it look like if we lived as if our identity in Christ were true? Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and Tim Timmons survey the distance between the understanding in their heads and the actions in their daily life. But, first: How do we talk about "understanding in their heads" with this crew?

A listener asks: Can you make a good and serious case for dominion theology—the idea that Christians should use the levers of culture to advance their religious views? If not, how is the Kingdom of God not like us? What makes it different from the religious agendas of Christian groups?

NOW's core four of Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons are back together, so this week's episode heads straight towards a certain destination without a hand basket. Eventually, though, they explore this week's teaching that the glory of God resides in His people and why that doesn't always look like our idea of a successful church.

In this special episode, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons share Journey's practice of praying with the community. Each week, the Journey staff, Elders and prayer team read people's written requests for prayer and agree with them before God, saying "Lord, hear our prayer."

This week, the NOW team brings that practice to the podcast and reflect on what it means to pray and to carry each others' burdens.

We’re back in Ephesians this week and still wrapping our minds around Jesus' great leveling. Paul explains how both Jews and Gentiles were dead in different ways but for God’s grace. Journey Students Pastor Tuyen Proctor joins Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind to explore the corrupting influence of group pride and how grace makes us all relate to each other on the same level.
