Pick a few people and prompt them with a thought: “I want to get a better view of who I am by asking people around me and close to me. I’m wondering if you’d be willing to give me feedback about what you see in me that I might not see in myself”

Josh and Amy Martin in conversation with Host Brian Frye (Twitter @brifrye). They discuss their personal experience adopting their daughter, and the spiritual implications adoption has for the believer. Josh (Twitter: @joshmmartin) is the pastor of Resonate Pullman and author of the memoir, Saturday Nothing: The Words I Wrote While Waiting on Jesus. He was one of the original church-planters who started Resonate Church at its first location in Pullman Washington.

Josh and Amy adopted through CCAI, but would recommend several agencies and encourage listeners to look into their local foster care opportunities. For more information on adoption they recommend the following books and resources.

There is a season for everything under the sun. In this week's session, Host Brian Frye (Twitter: @brifrye), and Resonate’s Lead Pastor Keith Wieser (Twitter: @keithwieser) talk through the implications of different seasons, the emotional and mental health implications of difficult seasons, and the season we are all together in now. In their discussion they explore the intersection of worldview and difficulty, prosperity Christianity, and the differences between an owned and an inherited faith.

“Maybe I have been consuming Christianity, but my basic mindset has been the same as the rest of culture, I just have a different group of friends. When that happens, you cannot interpret the world around you very well. You can’t have a Christian worldview. There is just a Secular worldview you have put a Christian veneer over.” —Keith Wieser

Host Brian Frye (Twitter: @brifrye) in conversation with Resonate Monmouth’s site pastor Colin Luoma. After Easter, we are celebrating the reality that Jesus is alive. Brian and Colin explore what implications this reality has on the life of every believer, and how we can each discern the will of the living God in our lives.

Colin (Twitter: @colin_luoma) was a part of the initial church planting team to Ellensburg, Washington and Central Washington University. Later he moved as the site pastor to plant at Western Oregon University (WOU) in Monmouth, Oregon. Resonate Monmouth is now preparing to send out a church planting team to Southern Oregon University in Ashland, Oregon.
