Travis learned about the newest social media app on Saturday Night Live this last weekend. After 53 million people installed the app, the guys decided to ask some deeper questions about the itch that the company BeReal is attempting to scratch with its slogan, "Not another social network." 

Further questions to be answered: How old is Matt really? If there is no camera to catch Travis on his phone, is he still on his phone? Does anyone read podcast episode descriptions?

The 5-year anniversary of The District Church's planting is October 15th. To celebrate we got the original planters (Travis, Nichole, Brady and Nicole Roberts) in a room to tell some stories and reflect upon the last 5 years. 

What happens when Matt and Travis try to operate technology? A conversation comes to a screeching halt midway through a thought. In this short BONUS EPISODE we get a quick look into the cutting room floor of the most recent sermon from the Live No Lies series, The Slavery of Freedom, and we learn what is in Travis's Starbucks cup. Hint, it is kind of coffee. 

Here is the description from this week's sermon:

"To follow Jesus is to resist the desires of the flesh and live in the new desires of the Holy Spirit. Our habits formed around the flesh will bring slavery while our habits created by the Holy Spirit will bring freedom. "

The second week of the Live No Lies sermon series brings more discussion from the cutting floor. If you haven't heard the sermon, check out The Truth About Lies pt. II. 

Here is the description from the sermon: 

"There is a devil, and he uses lies to destroy everything. It’s done with deceptive ideas that play to disordered hearts that are normalized in a sinful society. In our second message of Live No Lies, we’re going to look at that first conversation: where Adam and Eve talk with a certain serpent. Tons for us to learn here. We’re going to talk about how we are transformed by the Spirit and truth, and destroyed by isolation and lies."

This episode of The District Church Podcast is zeroing in on the sermon series "Live No Lies." The guys dig deeper into the foundations of this series and the frameworks discussed in the first sermon, The Truth About Lies pt. I. 

Here is a description from the first sermon: 

"The lies we believe are dangerous. But the lies we live are deadly. It may be time to admit we’re in a spiritual war. So how do we move forward? In this series we’ll learn how to recognize the lies you not only believe, but might be living. And resist the forces that seek to steal your joy, wholeness, holiness and peace in Christ."
