What's the relationship between waiting and planning? What can we learn from the Bible about the value of waiting? How might we wait AND plan in this season of life with God?

Listen to this week's Q&A session with Hannah and Gay as they discuss questions submitted by people gathering and watching online.

This week Adam explores ideas from N.T. Wright's book titled "God and the Pandemic." 

If God is in charge, why doesn't he solve the problem? 

The gospel claims Jesus is in charge, the bigger question is what does that look like? 

What if God's way of being in charge looks like God's way of getting in charge? 

Adam explores these questions and more. 

This week Adam explores the idea that the Psalms can help us navigate our fears by examining the 5 books of the Psalms.

What if we use our fear to drive us to think about what it means to believe in the Kingship of God?

What if we use our fear to drive us to think about what it means to be the people of God?

This week Adam returns to the Creatures of Struggle series by talking about anger.

What if the Psalms can help us work through our anger? What are we supposed to do with all the anger and cries for vengeance in the Psalms? What if the Psalms show us how to bring our anger to God and trust His character with the outcome? 

This week Hannah explores how our thoughts, thought processes, beliefs, and attitudes influence our behaviors, interactions, and conversations with others and the world around us. 

This week we hear from Tommy Moore as he explores thoughts on the gospel and race. 

“The second great commandment is this: Love your neighbor in the same way you love yourself.” Mark 12v31


Questions to take with you after listening:

• How might these issues show up in Helena and its history?
• How can I stay responsibly aware of the national conversation while being committed to and invested in my local community?
• What are some situations in which I try to “justify” myself?
• To whom will I be a neighbor this week?

In the second week of the Creatures of Struggle series, Adam explores the idea that what if the book of Psalms has an editor and that editor is trying to tell a story about the shape of life, especially the life of faith?

This week we hear from Hannah Drga.

How do our differences, backgrounds, and identities influence our interactions with others and our experiences with the world?

What if the Psalms represent God's desire for us to speak to him? What if they represent God's desire for us to "take our turn"?

Adam spends some time in Matthew and the Psalms as he explores these ideas.
