"What is happening in our world?" If you have ever asked this question, if you have ever wondered why you feel misunderstood, why people seem to be so divided and so antagonistic toward each other. Then this is an episode will help you understand. Check out this episode on Postmodernism why it is so important that we do not establish our own domain.

Areas of Discussion / Study:

What is postmodernity? How did postmodernity come to be? What are some untruths society adopts in a postmodern world? Why is truth “inconvenient” and what does it require of us in a world of convenience, entitlement, and relativism?

Do you constantly feel stress? Do you often procrastinate or act out in anger? Is an ideal weekend spent in a dark room binging netflix or at a coffee shop with a friend? Human beings are emotional and reactionary, so how can we better understand our body and brain? How may we form an emotionally aware & mature relationship with God and others? Let's discuss how we can make the best of our emotions before our emotions get the best of us.

For our Bible Engagement episode we are tackling a major question. How is it that Jesus is truly God and truly man? We have our resident smart guy, Randy Pistor to join us as we tackle this hard topic in order to help us engage our bibles more.

These are a special type of episode surrounding the concept of Spiritual Formation. This is an ancient practice of simply reading scripture (Lectio - Reading & Divina - Devin/Sacred; Thus Sacred Reading). This practice isn't any thing special other than merely listening, meditating and resting in a single passage. This is a great practice to center yourself around God's word for the day. We hope you enjoy these as they will be the first episode each month to place a focus on God's word, his world, and his will in our lives.
