Journey NOW

What are the limits of personal freedom in a community of Christ followers? Should we voluntarily restrict ourselves when there's a chance our behavior might offend others? And, how do we even know what's offensive when we all have different ideas of what's right and wrong?

Sunday question-asker (also regular worship leader and Journey staffer) Layla Shahmohammedi joins NOW regulars Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon, and Suzie Lind to discuss how we reap what we bleep.

Special guest Will McCauley has questions and lots of digital notes as he asks Kevin Dixon, Sam Barnhart and Suzie Lind about last Sunday’s study on obscurity in an age of fame.

Regular listeners of this podcast are already familiar with disappointment.

This week, it's not just about the banter and the hosts, though. We're studying stories of disappointment in the Bible. What can we learn from those who felt let down by God? How do we keep faith in a God who doesn't seem to want to do good in our lives?

Layla Shahmohammedi and Rob Gonzalez join regulars Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind to share their own experiences of faith an disappointment.
