Red Couch Theology

What happens when you believe God loves you, but struggle to actually experience that love? This week, Pastors Alex and Aaron continue Sunday's conversation about Ephesians 3 and Paul's prayer that we would know a love that surpasses knowledge.They share personal stories about the ways they've encountered God's love through music, prayer, and stillness. They also talk about shame, the fear of being unlovable, and what it looks like to try new spiritual practices when familiar ones no longer seem to connect.Send in your questions: https://redcouchtheology.com/

This week, Pastors Alex and Aaron wrestle with some difficult passages in Scripture, exploring how God's compassion, grace, and judgment fit together and why Jesus is the clearest picture of God's character.They also tackle listener questions about singleness and marriage, baptism and salvation, and how to approach Bible passages that seem to contradict each other. Along the way, they discuss why wrestling with Scripture can actually be an important part of growing in faith.Send in your questions: https://redcouchtheology.com/Pastors Alex & AaronSouth Fellowship ChurchBased in Littleton, CO

Is there a limit to grace? And if there’s always more grace, what keeps grace from becoming permission to do whatever we want? Alex and Aaron are joined by Nathan Holmes to continue the conversation around Ephesians 2:1–10, exploring “grace period, not grace plus,” the things we’re tempted to add to the gospel, and the moments when grace became more than an idea in their own lives.

What does it look like to move from knowing about God to truly experiencing him? This week, Alex and Aaron explore Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1 and the relationship between our minds, emotions, worship, and prayer. They share personal stories about encountering God's love, discuss why music and physical expression matter in worship, and consider what happens when we surrender our need to understand everything and begin trusting in the power of prayer.

What can we hold onto when so much in life can change, disappoint, or disappear? This week on Red Couch Theology, the conversation turns to grace, the gift we don’t earn and the one thing the world can’t take away from us. Together, we explore what it looks like to receive that grace for ourselves and allow it to shape the way we live, love, and extend grace to others.Send in your questions: https://redcouchtheology.com/

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week I have Sean Switzer on the show because he preached a message on this famous proverb, as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. But today we talk about how easy and how smoothly that phrase rolls off your tongue, but how much more difficult it is to apply. Like, what does it mean? Like how do I, do I pursue being sharpened, am I supposed to run around and try and sharpen other people? And if so, how? Because let's be honest, sometimes iron, when used incorrectly, can make someone duller. So we talk about all of the nuances that this text actually has in it. Let's dive right in.Send in your questions: https://redcouchtheology.com/

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're talking about the complicated and emotionally charged topic of parenting. Train up a child on the way they should go and then when they grow old, they will not depart from it. Today we talk a little bit about the nuances of that statement, what it's saying and what it actually isn't saying, and then we get into some practical advice about how we actually approach this complicated topic of parenting with the heart of Jesus. Let's dive right in.

Hello, hello and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast.

Hey, this week we have Nathan Holmes on the show because he brought the message on Sunday about pride. And we talk about how pride might actually show up in some ways that we don't normally think about.

Obviously, we can think too highly of ourselves, but can we also think too lowly of ourselves? Can self-deprecation actually be a form of pride? And if both of those things keep us at the center of the story, what does it look like to actually see ourselves accurately?

We talk about some of the signs that we might be leaning too far in either direction and how we can learn to think about ourselves in a healthier way.

So let's dive right in.
