  • Interview with a teacher #1

    In this episode I sit down with a good friend Mat, who is a really awesome Teacher and great advocate for history and the importance it plays in our lives as citizens of the world, but as Christians. As Mat is an American educator living in the Midwest, we mostly focus on history around America, but we do venture into some wider contexts. We break all the rules for conversations though, we talk about religion, and politics at a couple points. So come along and let me know what you think.

  • Pondering the phrase, "back in my day!" and other idealized concepts

    In this episode, I am pondering and sharing some raw thoughts around the idea and phraseology of, "Back in my day!" Often Christians will look at ministry, outreach, mission and the like, through the lens of how we've done it before. While this can be a useful tool, it can often get bogged down in idealizing the past, and that can do harm to our discipleship and development as humans, Christians and churches. 

    Listen along and let me know what you think!

  • Even the dead won't convince them?

    In this episode we examine a parable Jesus shared in Luke 16 and ask the question, what will convince us to follow the scriptures, to follow the example of the living Word, that is Jesus Christ as laid out in the Written Word?

    Scriptural references: Luke 16:19-31, Acts 4:32-36, Matthew 25 & 28
