ReStoried

John, Jesus, tweens, Pharisees, and... Karate Kid? Crossing into the New Testament gives us a new challenge trying to pull together the threads of this conversation. Find Missy's idea map here (but not until you make your own!) and send comments our way through the feedback form here.

Is this really a sin theme series, or is it a theme series on our hearts? A conversation about the words of the prophets to the people of God before exile, during exile, and even after exile raises lots of questions. Send your own comments and questions our way here!

Our next stop in the biblical story is the era of the kings. What does this part of the story reveal about sin? Two things stand out, but we have more questions than answers. Join our curiosity (and sometimes frustration) as we keep going! Send comments and questions our way at this link!

From Genesis 4 through the end of Exodus, we keep following the trail of sin (and God's response to it) through the story of Scripture. We revisit a question raised earlier about the relationship between human sin and God's presence. Join us, and let us know your thoughts using this link!

Join us as we hash out some differences and big feelings during our first conversation about sin (and God's response to it) in the story of Scripture! Send any comments or questions our way at this link. Thanks for listening to this new series!

When we look at the future-facing story of Scripture, what do we see about rest? In the last conversation for this theme series, we explore some big questions and we don't always land on answers, but the invitations are rather compelling. Send comments and questions our way at this link. Thanks for joining us for the series on rest!

Turns out, it's taking us longer to get through a biblical theology of rest than we thought! Whether this is "part 3, part 2" or "part 4" of this conversation, we get a little further into what Jesus says about rest and what Jesus means for our understanding of true rest. Join us! Send any comments or questions our way at this link.

We get into the New Testament, and specifically what Jesus says about rest. We'll be honest: this conversation went longer than we expected, so we chopped it in half and will release the rest of it next time! Stay tuned for a "part 3, 2.0" soon! Send any comments and questions our way at this link.

"Rest" isn't just about the rhythm that Yahweh intended for humanity, it's about resistance, presence, and right relationships. How did that look for God's ancient people? How does that look like for us? Send any comments or questions our way at this link!

Join us for the first conversation of this summer's miniseries! In this episode, we think about the ways we see rest in our American and European cultures, then jump headfirst into a biblical theology of rest. Why does God (who doesn't need to rest) rest after creation? Why does God expect his people to live in a rhythm of work-and-rest? How do these ideas shape our decisions and thinking now?
