On This Week’s Episode:

Phil Snyder and Kelsey Reed discuss how our beliefs on economic policy shape our discipleship to Jesus. Economic policy might seem dull at first glance, but it reveals our heart’s desires and our commitment to following Jesus internally and externally. Welcome our new co-host, Kelsey Reed, as she brings fresh insights into how we’re formed by our views on economic systems like capitalism and socialism, and how these views affect our faith and community.

On This Week’s Episode:

Welcome to The Living Room Disciple podcast! As the presidential election approaches in the United States, we’re bombarded with politics. Every political ad, debate, and Facebook argument seeks to shape our beliefs. Unlike other Christian podcasts telling you who to vote for, we’re asking: How are we being formed by our politics? Today, we discuss how we’re shaped within our political environment and as citizens of a constitutional democratic republic. Let’s dive into this episode where discipleship finds a home.

Welcome into the Living Room Disciple Podcast where today we are joined by author and artist Jenai Auman to talk about her new book Othered. Today we’re having a conversation about spiritual abuse and othering by people in places that claim the name of Jesus. So if you are carrying wounds from a Christian space, I pray that this episode is healing for you and that it’s a reminder that you are worthy, that you are loved, and that Jesus is good, even when people have harmed you while claiming his name. And if you’re just a person who wants to see the church faithfully carry the light of Jesus, Jenai has so much wisdom for you as well. Our heart is to learn to love more like Jesus, even when it’s difficult.

Welcome into The Living Room Disciple Podcast. We are so glad you’re with us today for a fun episode as we talk about the way we have been formed by media, specifically children’s movies. We are who we are, in part because of the media we consumed when our minds were so impressionable as young children. So are there messages we received that we need to unlearn today? And is there a better way forward for our kids? All that plus some nostalgia on this episode of The Living Room Disciple Podcast where discipleship finds a home.

Welcome to The Living Room Disciple Podcast. We are so glad that you have joined us today as Phil and Nick have a conversation about some common scriptures that are often misread because they are taken out of context. They will break down a few verses: Jeremiah 29:11, Philippians 4:13, and 2 Thessalonians 3:10. The goal is not just to understand these verses, but also to understand how we are formed by plucking verses out of their context and reading them as if they are just written to us.

Welcome to The Living Room Disciple Podcast. We can't wait for you to check out our conversation with Pastor Jay Kim. He's a friend of the podcast, and he's back to discuss his new book, Listen Listen Speak: Hearing God and Being Heard in a Noisy World. In this book, Jay aims to demystify the concept of hearing from God, and we believe he truly accomplishes this goal. We’re excited for you to listen to our conversation and, even more importantly, to pick up his book and read it for yourself.

You may remember Jay from Episode 23: Artificial Intelligence and Tech, where we had a fascinating discussion about technology, AI, and how our interactions with these innovations shape us spiritually. If you missed that episode, be sure to check it out for more insightful perspectives from Jay.

Welcome to The Living Room Disciple Podcast. Today, Phil and Nick are discussing marriage. But this isn’t your typical Christian marriage podcast—we’re not here to offer tips and tricks. Instead, we’re starting a conversation about how Christians can be formed and discipled through relationships and marriage. In this episode, we’ll explore the male perspective, discussing Christian formation within the context of marriage.

Thanks to Anna D. for sending in our discussion topic for this week. Seriously, thank you! 

So what is this week about? We’re discussing the article “Is ‘Gentle Parenting’ Biblical?” from The Gospel Coalition, written by Bernard N. Howard. You can find the original article here: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/gentle-parenting-biblical/

And as we dug into this, it’s a very valid discussion full of intricacies leading to another question. Is this even the right question we should be asking? Don’t be fooled. This idea may be trending on TikTok and social media but this question may be missing the mark. Dive in with us as we discuss “Gentle Parenting” and how our approach to parenting can form us (and our kids) more or less like Christ. 

BY THE WAY: You can suggest a topic too! Visit our website or tag us on social media if there’s ever something you’d like for us to dive into. We read every note and are so encouraged when you reach out.
