June 27, 2021 Waiting on the World to Change - Generous Living (Week 2)
Pathfinder Church | June 27, 2021 | Dion Garrett
Scarcity tells us there’s not enough for us, let alone enough to share. But God’s call on us is to see a world so abundant that we are glad to share whatever we have with others, knowing that the whole world becomes richer when we share.

June 20, 2021 Waiting on the World to Change - Spiritual Conversations (Week 1)
Pathfinder Church | June 20, 2021 | Doug Mauss
Longstanding advice says it’s impolite to bring up religion or politics in mixed company. While that’s hard to argue with, God calls us to have spiritual conversations everywhere we go! Being on a LIFEjourney with Jesus means becoming fluent in the kinds of conversations that call our attention to the most important things in life and even bring life to others.

June 13, 2021 The Good Book - Ancient Wisdom; Modern Problems–Why the Bible is Timeless (Week 5)
Pathfinder Church | June 13, 2021 | Dion Garrett
You’ve heard it said before, the Bible is a book written by dozens of human authors, who lived thousands of years ago, in languages that are now dead… how can it have any relevance to modern people living in times that no human author ever could’ve imagined? You’d be surprised.

June 06, 2021 The Good Book - The Answer Key—Understanding Christocentric Interpretation (Week 4)
athfinder Church | June 6, 2021 | Doug Mauss
People search the Scriptures for a lot of reasons, but there is one reason above all that is the key to understanding all of the Scriptures rightly, especially some of the most difficult passages. Many of our misunderstandings come from misunderstanding God’s primary intention in giving us the Scriptures.

May 30, 2021 The Good Book - Lost in Translation—The Problems with Language (Week 3)
Pathfinder Church | May 30, 2021 | Dion Garrett
Stating the obvious here: The Bible wasn’t written in English. Not only are translations across time tricky, but languages don’t always have equivalent words that easily convey meaning. Then you add translational philosophies into the mix (strict literal translations vs. more interpretative ones) and you end up with a lot of different versions of the same Bible. How do we resist the urge to shop for the translation that says what we like, and instead wrestle with what was actually being said?

May 23, 2021 The Good Book - Context is King–Why Context Matters (Week 2)
Pathfinder Church | May 23, 2021 | Doug Mauss
Most scriptural misunderstandings start in the same way: a verse is removed from its context. It shouldn’t surprise us that the practice creates problems, since it also creates problems in other parts of life. To get the clearest reading of Scripture we must also start looking not just at words or single verses, but looking at the greater context.

May 16, 2021 The Good Book - The Many Styles of Scripture—Understanding Genre (Week 1)
Pathfinder Church | May 16, 2021 | Dion Garrett
All of scripture is true and inspired, but it’s not all to be taken literally. That’s shocking to many of us, but that just means that we first have to understand what kind of literature we’re reading before we can rightly interpret it. To read metaphors as literal truth is nonsense. But to decide that you can set aside uncomfortable, direct teachings of scripture because you no longer find it fashionable isn’t okay either.

May 09, 2021 The Cost of 6ft - Efficiency at the Cost of Presence (Week 6)
Pathfinder Church | May 9, 2021 | Dion Garrett
Life has never been more demanding (and all the moms said “Amen!”) So, it makes sense that we look for short cuts to make it all fit. But as we grow to rely on efficient shortcuts, we all know deep down that what we’re cutting out are some of the least efficient but the richest parts of life.

May 02, 2021 The Cost of 6ft - Comfort at the Cost of Caretaking (Week 5)
Pathfinder Church | May 2, 2021 | Dion Garrett
Christians live with tensions… the world is passing away and yet, it’s not a throw-away. The same is true with our own bodies. In both cases, it’s in our best interests to care for the physical parts of creation, but they’re not very cooperative! No wonder we find ourselves in retreat, indoors, on our couches, looking at our screens. But ignoring the call of God to steward the physical world (including our physical selves) has consequences that will not be ignored.
