I am around a lot of people, both in person and online, who wear the label: "Christian."  What I can tell you is that although a person may quack like a duck and look like a duck...that doesn't make them a good Christian or representative of Christ.  Today, we look at Luke 10:1-11, 16-20.  This "ordaining" of sort was a proclamation of mission.  Jesus was sending folks out to represent Him.  So...I have to ask: Do we look and operate like what he wanted then...and now?

Come along with me as I share my thoughts on this Gospel passage.  Grab that coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat on this episode of "Coffee with Keith."

This is a fabulous chat with Spiritual Mystic Coach, Ellen Mennell.  You will hear her story of growing up in a legalistic adoptive home of Evangelical Parents.  You will probably relate to her abuse and trauma at the hands of the church and you might even be able to relate to her admission of innocently "playing the game" to keep her relationship with the church.  You will hear an honest talk filled with laughter, past hurts, but now...joyful celebration of life and connection with God. 

Hear these words from Ellen:
My own journey through life's hardship has been the catalyst for the work that I'm currently doing. For years I experienced events of physical, mental, emotional, sexual and spiritual trauma. This left me devastated as I battled dark nights of the soul around mental health (depression) sexuality, grief, loss, attachment/abandonment disorders, codependency, shame, fear, rejection, addiction, and eating disorders. 

 Through a spiritual awakening my life began to drastically change. I encountered a penetrating love that fostered inner hope and spread throughout my being. I knew my life was about to change for the better. I began to understand I didn't need to live with deep pain and trauma. Thus started years of intense shadow work to overcome my past. I chose to find freedom from the religious garbage in which I was taught, pursued a personal relationship with God in the manner that worked for me rather than through the dictates of oth

Any LGBTQ+ Christian will know about the text today for it is often used to banish us to hell.  But today, I want to share a few of my personal thoughts on Galatians 5:1, 13-25.  I am not going to dive deeply into the Greek as others have shared and I have done on a personal study basis; but rather, I am going to talk about what I think are the purposes of the text which to me, is the main goal. 

So, I invite you to grab a coffee, have a seat at my table, and let's chat about this on Coffee with Keith.

On this week's Table Talks episode of the Coffee with Keith podcast, I am talking to author Kellie Woolf.  Kellie's debut novel, Mount Hope launches June 21, 2022 and is set in her hometown of Topeka, Kansas.  As a fierce supporter and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, Kellie is a s strong advocate for all, including her transgender daughter.  She believes three things are designed innately for everyone, faith, hope and love.  Mount Hope is a story that incorporates these human experiences along with the message that you don't have to choose between a relationship with Jesus or one in being true to yourself.  You can have both.

The book will be available at Amazon on the 21st!

One of the most confusing Theological concepts that is a pillar of the traditional faith is-Trinity.  What is it?  What does it mean?  Where in the Bible is it taught?  How do I understand it?  All legitimate questions when we are trying to discuss the concept of the Trinity.  In this Bible Talks episode, I am going to read and share a few thoughts from John 16:12-15.  Now please understand, this podcast episode in now way claims to explain and expound on the multiplicity of concepts and teaching around this idea.  However, I do want to share a few thoughts on the subject and more importantly, what difference it can make in our lives. 

So, grab a coffee and join me on this episode of Coffee with Keith.

I am so excited to welcome Pastor Danny Lybarger on to the podcast today.  Danny is the planting pastor of The Well, a United Methodist Church plant that meets at a Brewery in Defiance, MO. His vision for our church began years ago with a simple passion - to create compelling spaces that engaged those who feel far from God. The Well's vision is to spark a God-sized movement through which we see 100% of our region move into a transformative relationship with Jesus. A major part of accomplishing that vision is creating compelling and inclusive spaces for ALL people. Danny and his wife, Annie have three kiddos (Knox, JoJo & Gracie) who you can regularly find eating pizza, playing sports, and embracing life to the fullest.

Danny has a heart for including ALL within the faith  and you will hear the heart on this young pastor and hear his vision for his church.  Come and give this one a listen as we chat on the Coffee with Keith podcast.

Unity...what a concept.   Jesus expect the church to be one?   I would suggest that the universal church today is anything but unified and sadly, I think breaks the heart of Jesus.  He prayed for oneness.  He prayed it for his disciples and I dare say; subsequently, he prayed it for us.

In this devotion I share three thoughts using an acrostic of ONE.  Come give it a listen on this week's Bible Talks edition of Coffee with Keith.

Join me on this chat about John 17:20-26.

I have a fantastic Table Talks edition of the podcast for you today.  My guest is Mike Maeshiro, founder and CEO of Numa, a spiritual intelligence organization that equips people in theology, spirituality, and faith. Mike is gay, an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, and a queer theology enthusiast. He is the author of the book #themikeboard and also travels the world teaching on spiritual intelligence, supernatural discernment, queer theology, emotional health, and redemptive deconstruction.

In this episode, Mike shares about his journey from teaching in a conservative, charismatic school and speaking in conservative churches to coming out just 3 months ago, publicly.  You are going to really enjoy his story and the enthusiasm he brings to the episode.  What's more, Mike shares some good practical advice to any hurting or searching queer Christian. 

So, grab your coffee, have a seat at the table...and let's chat, on this edition of "Coffee with Keith."

Have you ever seen someone who is about to die gift a word or item to someone they love?  I sure have, both personally and professionally.  Well, the same thing happens in John 14:23-29 when Jesus us, giving his farewell discord in light of his upcoming crucifixion, gives his disciples (and subsequently us, I believe) two wonderful gifts.  They are Comfort and Companionship.  Join me in this Bible Talks episode as we chat about this.

This is Coffee with Keith.
