  • 064 - How the Enneagram Helps Us Love God
    DETAILS:
    So what is up with all this Enneagram talk? Is it worth your time or just another fad that will pass on by? - This week, we are talking about how the Enneagram can help you better love yourself, love others, and love God. We discuss what the Enneagram even is and how it can play a part in our lives and our faith. This is the first part to our series on the Enneagram. - The more we understand about ourselves and those around us, the more we are able to fulfill Jesus’ ultimate commandment: to love God and love others.

  • 063 - Denomination Domination
    DETAILS:
    What purpose do denominations serve? Do they help unite us? Do they divide us? Can they help us grow or do they lead to isolation? And what’s the deal with house churches!? - This week, we are talking about denominations and how they affect believers: from long time practitioners to those who just started their walk. We talk about the stigmas many denominations hold. We discuss the rise of non denominational churches and how though they might have more freedom, that freedom can also cause an imbalance. And we even discuss house churches and recent allegations claiming that they are “wound licking” clubs and against the bible.

  • 062 - People Need People
    DETAILS:
    No one can do it all alone. We are created with a desire for community just as Christ desired to commune with creation. This week, Cody is behind the mic talking about how people need people. We talk about forgiveness, boundaries, offering someone a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and giving people the space to grow. We also talk about how when we make right our convictions it prevents shame and condemnation from having room to grow.

  • 060 - God Doesn't Have a Plan For You
    DETAILS:
    God does not make your path straight, but He will direct your path. - This week we are talking about two commonly quoted scriptures designed to give us comfort but can in some instances actually cause us to feel alone and angry at God. So often we take scripture out of the context surrounding it or worse; at face value and miss the nuances of what God might be trying to tell us. We hope this episode shows you that God is not the cause of your hurt but He is there with you in it and desires for you to follow your God-given passion.

  • 059 - The Humanitarian Christ
    DETAILS:
    There is more to Christianity than preaching a loud message and more to good works than making someone comfortable. The sweet spot is in the relationships we build. This week, we are talking about humanitarian Christianity. We discuss how too often, faith circles become an echo-chamber focussed more on themselves than the needs of those around them, how we create social tiers in church, and how often times racism, sexism, and classism can dictate how we view others. We also talk about how to find a proper balance and how our love towards people is first seen, then felt, and lastly heard.
