Resonate Sessions

In this week’s episode Host Brian Frye (Twitter: @brifrye) speaks with Jacob Dahl about this season of Wilderness, what it exposes in each of us, and how we can press into calling in this time. In their discussion they discuss calling, and Jacob shares how his calling came out of crisis and failure. This week's discussion touches on some of the cultural coping trends that have surfaced from social-distancing and quarantining. These include pornography use trends, marijuana sales and gun sales. What does crisis reveal about our calling? What does crisis reveal about our coping? What do we do if we have been coping poorly?

This session explores difficult questions like, how can God be good if He allows things like COVID-19 to happen?

In this week’s session Host Brian Frye (Twitter: @brifrye) and Lead Pastor Keith Wieser sit down to discuss the implications of SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19), and how the current pandemic is shaping culture, the church, and Resonate Church Network. They discuss what it means to be a church community in a season in which people are scattered, historical and social “ruts,” how we are adapting as a church community, and what the church ultimately is.
