Pastors Pregame

Lisa and guest Rafe Wright discuss 1 Corinthians 9 and how we can become all things to all people so that we might win some.

How patient are you? In this episode, Lisa and Bruce talk about James chapter 5 and how to be patient in hard times.

Lisa welcomes Chrissie Jones and Lu Mackey to the podcast to help us reflect on what it means to be a mom. We talk about our personal connection to the Old Testament figure, Hannah, and what we can learn from her about prayer. You don't have to be a mom to get something out of our conversation.

Bruce, Lisa, and Jaime talk about what is probably the most challenging passages in James. When James says, "Woe to you rich people," is he talking to us?

Bruce and Lisa continue our discussion of James. In chapter 4 James asks, "What causes fights and quarrels among you?" and in this episode, we discuss his answer.

Jaime and Lisa are joined by a special guest, Jon Ewton, to discuss God's wisdom as explained by James, chapter 3. We talk about how very different it looks from what most people think about being wise.

What does the book of James say is like a spark that can burn a whole forest? Or a rudder that can steer an entire ship? Our tongues. In this episode, Lisa and Bruce discuss James 3:1-12 and how we can be more careful with our words.

It's Easter week! Bruce, Jamie, and Lisa talk about Jesus' post-resurrection appearance on the Emmaus road and share their personal Holy Week reflections.

We're continuing our Reconstructing Christianity series by discussing James' controversial assertion that "faith without works is dead." Is James contradicting the apostle Paul? Bruce and Lisa discuss that and some practical applications for James 2:12-26.

On this episode, I'm joined by Thom Morris, Christ Fellowship's Care Pastor. The book of James challenges us to live out the Word of God, so Thom and I discuss how life change is possible, even when sin habits run deep.
