The Next Step Podcast

We all know the most famous verse of Psalm 119: "Thy Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." But have you ever stopped to consider what that kind of light would have meant for the average person at the time of King David? Or what God might intend for us to mean by that prayer of faith?

Season 4, Episode 21 of the Next Step podcast continues Chapter 11, God's Word Propels Your Adventure from the book Delight! Discipleship as the Adventure of Loving and Being Loved by Justin Rossow. God's Word takes work to understand; but God's Word also take play to understand!

Based on passages in Psalm 119 and Isaiah 55, we take a playful look at God's incredible Word.

The Bible itself talks about itself in delightful terms: God's Word is a Delicious Delight that sustains us on our journey of faith.

This special episode of the Next Step Podcast captures a conversation between Rev. Richard Rossow, pastor emeritus, and Rev. Justin Rossow, the founder of Next Step Press.

The two Pastors Rossow discuss a blog about sermon series in an age of Covid and reflect on the role of "themes" in the life of a congregation and the preaching ministry of a pastor.

You will hear them talk about this video on themes to launch the conversation, and they will explore the effects of lower worship attendance in general, and Covid in particular, when it comes to shaping a sermon series over time.

The veteran preacher also responds to the idea that our current communication culture requires us to bring the Word to people in multiple communication streams. His suggestion honors the Body of Christ while still reaching people with different communication media: ask God to give you people who can use their gifts to expand the proclamation of the Word into different media environments.

This podcast is one example of hitting multiple communication streams with content that is thematically related. Read the whole blog series, beginning with: https://community.findmynextstep.org/sermon-series-in-the-age-of-covid-think-tinker-toys-not-jenga/. 

God delights in your complete dependence; and God delights in your complete engagement. God delights in your work, but also in your rest and your play!

Author Justin Rossow reads the rest of Chapter 10 of the book Delight! Discipleship As The Adventure Of Loving and Being Loved.
