Mountains and Mustard Seeds

Back from my unintentional hiatus with some life updates, new direction for the podcast and a brief glimpse of what I have been learning.

My dear friend Matt joins me in this episode as we discuss the Crappy Christian Phrase "I just want you to show up, God". Whether it's doubting God's presence, questioning what He wants us to do next, or wondering where God is in the midst of suffering, this episode covers all the bases.

Continuing our series "Crappy Christian Catch Phrases", special guest Henry discusses why the "name it and claim it" theology is dangerous, and helpful ways we can view God based on what scripture really tells us.

This is the first episode in our new series "Crappy Christian Catch Phrases: Debunking the weird things Christians say that the Bible never did". Give a listen to hear why we hate this phrase, why it's Biblical wrong, and what we think is an accurate alternative perspective.

I don't have any answers, any "right" way to think or feel or do during this time of quarantine from COVID-19. But hopefully my musings and "in-process" state is comforting in solidarity for your life and your faith.

What is a "quiet time" and how do I do that? And what is this fellowship thing? Why do either one of them matter as a Christian?

What am I giving up and how am I supposed to do that? Is this really something I can do in my life or just a pithy cliche?

Did God call them and not me? How do I know if I am called? And what exactly does it mean to be called? In this episode we unpack more of what our primary calling is as Christians and how we can figure out our specific secondary calling.

What do we have freedom from exactly? And how does that impact my life as a Christian?

Is it a noun? A verb? Some people say it as advice, others use it as a catch-all phrase for individual Christian faith. What does it really mean and how do we do it?
