The Uncommon Truth

As followers of Jesus, what should our lives look like? Here in the West, do our lives look any different from our friends and neighbors who don't know Jesus? In a time of radical upheaval surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, we discuss the radical change that knowing and following Jesus should bring to our lives and churches.

In the midst of COVID-19 social distancing measures, church members have been sorely missing their church families. At the same time, some who have walked away from traditional church communities have began to come back via online services and Zoom chats. It raises the question, what does Jesus say about being plugged into a community of believers?

In this weeks episode, we discuss how authentic connection to a group of believers can unlock the real freedom and abundant life people are searching for.

If you're like most Christians, you probably have an idea of how you want your faith to grow. Most of us can think of a few areas that we would like to have more success in, but we don't really know how to get there. We're taught by our culture to do life on our own, independent of others, but nothing seems to change.

Steve joins the show to talk about Jesus' plan for just such a scenario, and it involves some pretty uncommon (and uncomfortable) solutions. Allowing Jesus--and those he puts in our lives--to have authority in our everyday lives is tough. However, Steve's stories prove that submission and surrender to Jesus' rule are the key to a faith you can be proud of.

How many of us have grown comfortable or complacent when reading the words of Jesus? When you read a parable in which Jesus calls out the religious leaders of day, who do you identify with? If you're like most in the West, you're probably more likely to place yourself in Jesus' shoes than those of the Pharisees. 

What if we take a step back and assume He's talking directly to you and I? In this episode Max and Steve do just that as they dissect Jesus' well-known "Parable of the Sower." They ask, "Am I the good soil Jesus describes? Is the soil I find myself going to help me produce fruit?"

In the first segment, Father's House pastor Ryan Kelly talks about the upcoming Jesus Man Conference which he will be speaking at. Listen to figure out how you can get a discount on registration for the conference!

Nolan Zink went from a chronic addict and felon to a father, husband and pastor. He joins The Uncommon Truth to talk about how accountability saved his life.

Accountability is a topic that many Christians find awkward or intimidating. It is often completely misunderstood. Most of the time when we in the Church talk about accountability, we approach it like a car wash. If and when we sin, we return to the carwash on Sunday to receive forgiveness. Is this the  freedom and peace Jesus came to bring those who follow him?

Max is joined on the show by two guests this week: Nick Zeppi and Ildiko Zink. Nick is a pastor and assistant director for Life Recovery Ministries. He joins the show to preview the upcoming Jesus Man Conference which he will be speaking at.

In the main part of the show, Ildiko recounts her amazing story of growing up in post-Communist Hungary, and eventually Northern California. Going to Jesus for comfort was never something she really knew how to do, or even seem to want. As it is for many of us, independence and self-reliance were just easier, even after becoming a Christian. Yet, as she shares, that approach misses out on what a relationship with Jesus is really all about.

Derek Devine, men's pastor and former NFL quarterback, joins the show to talk about the state of manhood in light of the upcoming Jesus Man Conference. The conference will be in Oroville, CA on March 24-26, 2020.

In North America, our idea of what real manhood looks like has slowly been warped. These warped ideas of manhood have even begun to infiltrate Christian thought and culture. In these confusing times, how can the men of the Church become the servants, leaders, and defenders Jesus meant us to be? What standard does Jesus hold for men?
