More Than This

David talks with guest Brooke Christensen about recognizing and processing the losses that the novel coronavirus has brought. They talk about the idea of lamenting, a practice with deep roots but one that has fallen out of vogue. It's time to rediscover it.

This episode is all about one of Christianity's central concepts - grace. It was harder to talk about on a personal level than we thought it would be, but we're pretty sure we all need grace now more than ever.

This week features an interview with Bill Christensen, a pastor who oversees international ministry in an ethnically diverse church. We discuss how to connect with international folks in our communities. 

This week we talk about the different ways people go about understanding who they are. The episode is called Too Unique for my Own Good. This one gets a bit deep.

Did you grow up afraid of the dark? On this episode, author Barbara Brown Taylor joins us to talk about what the dark can teach us as we discuss her book Learning to Walk in the Dark. You’ll find this discussion of darkness illuminating.

Dave and Kate talk about the role of doubt as a necessary part of faith. 

This episode we are joined by author and biblical scholar, Pete Enns. We talk with Pete about his latest book, How the Bible Actually Works. In the book, Pete talks about how biblical authors reimagine God across the text, and we talk about what this means for us today.

Today we talk about what to do when life feels like it's too much. Specifically, we respond to a common refrain church people often say - "God will never give you more than you can handle." We talk about what that can possibly mean (and what it should not mean).

Kate and Dave talk about some widespread sayings from their evangelical past. Do they actual mean anything useful?
