Kingdom Beta Podcast: Scaling Life's Peaks - Where Faith and Climbing Converge

In this Episode I am joined by Ryan Hoffman (from episode 13) to help dissect the age old phrase, "Progress not perfection". The world will tell you that you need to put forth a perfect version of yourself to build your self esteem and to be accepted by others. But this is an illusion and a false identity. The only perfection we could ever attain is the perfection granted to us by Jesus Christ who is perfect for us! Our job is just to follow Him and we will progress and grow with help by the Holy Spirit.

In this episode I'll be taking us through the top 5 world religions and going over their core beliefs. We'll see how futile of a worldview they present with the end goal always being met by good works. Then we'll take a look at the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus, which is the lynchpin of the Christian faith.

In this Episode we dive deep into what strength looks like in climbing and in our Christian walks. We will identify our strengths, our weaknesses, see the impact that training has on our bodies and souls, go through mental and emotional strength, as well as strength in intense persecution. We will also see how through testing we are strengthened, as well as see how we can encourage others to increase their strength. We'll take a look at how we find our strength in community verses when we are alone, as well as dive into the greatest source of strength, Christ. 

Thank you all for being a part of this journey with us so far. It's been a blessing to us both.

In this episode we discuss the differences between leading and following as a climber, the roles of each, and how we must set an example to spectators who will eventually progress into followers, and in turn leaders. The leaders must know the truth of what they are teaching, and should produce good, trustworthy followers that will then keep the circle going. This is the mission of the church. As we look to our leader, Christ, let us be imitators of Him and walk in His ways and seek His wisdom to go and make disciples.

In this episode we talk about what the "Route" is, how to identify it, the tools necessary to stay on it without wandering into a danger zone, and how to discern whether or not you're following the proper beta to maximize your victory on the route. We also talk about the importance of the guidebook to help recognize the route, and gain insight on some beta to help navigate the journey. With the start of the route being our salvation, the path through the bolt line being sanctification, and the anchors being glorification, we pray this conversation encourages you, along with many more to come.

In this Episode Jason and Brandon are accompanied by guest, Ryan Hoffman, to talk about what Christian charity and outreach looks like in his realm of the climbing world. Ryan's son was born with Autism, but climbing has allowed a stronger bond to be formed between them. From this blessing, Ryan has been given a passion to start a non-profit climbing wall to introduce other handicapped and marginalized children to the world of climbing. 

We also break this concept of charity and outreach down into smaller more tangible applications for some in their own local context of climbing. Enjoy this discussion and gain some ideas and encouragement as we see the heart of Christ come into the sending zone.

In this episode Jason and Brandon discuss the perspective of the belayer in projecting. The belayer has more on their plate than you think. Not only do they have physical tasks such as knowing how to take slack in certain situations, having to sit for long periods of time, giving solid beta when asked, or just giving the right kind of encouragement at the right time; but the belayer also has an emotional investment such as patience, encouraging, and empathizing.

In joy, in pain, in sin, and in victory, this brother or sister must come alongside the climber for the long haul. This connection between the two should be a bond that goes deep and has intentionality.
