  • Episode 247: Proper Payback

    Jesus Doesn’t Make It Easy – ‘Proper Payback’   

    You punch me, so I punch you back. In the Bible, it’s called the lex talionis or the law of retaliation. Of course, one of the problems is that, if you punch me, I don’t want to just punch you back; I want to punch you back just a bit harder than you punched me. Rather than revenge, how do we move to reconciliation? Jesus' teaching about proper payback was meant to stretch us.

    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: When has someone gone the extra mile for you? How did that feel? 

    So, what about you? Who went the extra mile for you? How amazing did it feel and did it make you want to pass on that feeling to someone else?! Let us know by using one of the following:

  • Episode 246: Easy Adultery

    Jesus Doesn’t Make It Easy – ‘Easy Adultery’   

    Adultery has become part of our entertainment. Modern media has hardened us to the pain of adultery for all parties involved; however, we’ve not spent much time on heart adultery. What will it mean to guard our hearts and minds against objectifying and marginalizing others? Jesus’ imagery is pretty drastic when he says we’d be better off with our eye gouged out than for our eye to lead us down adulterous paths. How do we guide our thoughts to keep clear of easy adultery?

    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: What do you think about the four ways greedy sexual idolatry evidences itself- pornography, using sex selfishly, unable to be whole without it, expecting a fairytale to make you happy?’

    So, what about you? We would love to hear your thoughts about sexual idolatry and whether you agree/disagree, have a completely different idea on it! Let us know by using one of the following:

    Andy’s 5 Tips for Making it Harder for the Devil to Win Us to This Kind of Of Soul Damning Idolatry….

    1. At the very first sign that someone other than our spouse might be a better ear for us, or have more sympathy for us, or understand us better, just shelve that relationship. Take as drastic of action as plucking out an eye or cutting off a hand. End that relationship.
    2. If we find ourselves attracted physically or emotionally to someone other than our spouse build distance between us and them physically and emotionally. Don’t think you can stand that kind of pride can lead to a life-altering tragic fall.
    3. Determine that we want all the joy and fulfillment and meaning and connection and safety that comes from experiencing becoming one in this great intimacy as covenantal renewal and never from the mindset of a consumer.
    4. We can strengthen our connection to God that God might bring us the affirmation and fulfillment only available from him, that we might then be equipped to share with a spouse not expecting from them what only God can provide us.
    5. Finally, we need to talk to one another as spouses. We can talk to our spouse more. Share your thoughts. I’ve never had a couple come to discuss divorce and tell me, “We’ve got to split up we just talk together too much!

  • Episode 245: Acceptable Murder

    Jesus Doesn’t Make It Easy – ‘Acceptable Murder’   

    When we think of murder strictly in the realm of physically taking another’s life, it's never acceptable! However, Jesus expands the concept to being out of sync with someone—being angry, calling them an idiot, or cursing someone. How can we be reconciled when another doesn’t want to be?

    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: When you were 10, what did you want to do when you grew up? How did that work out? Any vestiges of that original dream?

    So, what about you? How do you cut someone off, politely when they begin the ‘gossip dump’? And tell us what 10 year old you wanted to be when you grew up and how far you landed from those young intentions! Let us know by using one of the following:

  • Episode 244: Stewarding the Gospel...of Reconciliation

    Stewarding the Gospel…of Reconciliation   

    Sin separated us from God. God is the source of all life, so sin separated us from life. God is love, so sin separated us from love. We cannot be the answer to our problem. Quite apart from any action on our part, God’s action by Jesus, through Jesus, and because of Jesus brings us back into oneness and invites us to join in helping people see what God has done for them.


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: How does it change your “witnessing” when you believe that everyone has been reconciled?”

  • Episode 243: Stewarding the Gospel...of Equality

    Stewarding the Gospel…of Equality

    When we steward well the gospel, we recognize that it calls us to a radical oneness, a radical equality. We are called to give up the pride of separation and see that we are all equal in two amazing ways: all distinctions of prideful hierarchy are leveled in both the condition of being lost and being found.


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: How broad is your concept of equality? Can you freely sing “When we ALL get to heaven,” or is it easier to sing “some of us get to heaven?”



    So, what about you? How broad is your concept of equality? Have you struggled, conquered, still learning? Let us know by using one of the following:

    Quotes from this episode:

    Martin Luther in his commentary on Romans writes: “The corruption (of which the Apostle here speaks) is so very deep that it is not fully understood even by such as are spiritual (believers). For this reason, the truly righteous pray fervently and entreat God for divine grace, not only because they know that their will is evil, but also because they can never fully comprehend the unspeakable depth of their depravity. So, they humble themselves and earnestly ask God to sanctify them perfectly, …Man (by nature) selfishly seeks only what is to his advantage; he can love only himself above all things; and that is the sum and substance of all transgression. Such (self-sufficient) persons seek only to please themselves and secure applause, even when they follow piety and virtue.”


    Ellen White from Christ’s Object Lessons p. 159-160: “No outward observances can take the place of simple faith and entire renunciation of self. But no one can empty themselves of self. We can only consent for Christ to accomplish the work. Then the language of the soul will be, Lord, take my heart; for I cannot give it. It is Your property. Keep it pure, for I cannot keep it for You. Save me in spite of myself, my weak, unchristlike self. Mold me, fashion me, raise me into a pure and holy atmosphere, where the rich current of Your love can flow through my soul. It is not only at the beginning of the Christian life that this renunciation of self is to be made. At every advance step heavenward, it is to be renewed. All our good works are dependent on a power outside of ourselves. Therefore, there needs to be a continual reaching out of the heart after God, a continual, earnest, heartbreaking confession of sin and humbling of the soul before Him. Only by constant renunciation of self and dependence on Christ can we walk safely.

    The nearer we come to Jesus and the more clearly, we discern the purity of His character, the more clearly, we shall discern the exceeding sinfulness of sin and the less we shall feel like exalting ourselves. Those whom heaven recognizes as holy ones are the last to parade their own goodness. The apostle Peter became a faithful minister of Christ, and he was greatly honored with divine light and power; he had an active part in the upbuilding of Christ's church; but Peter never forgot the fearful experience of his humiliation; his sin was forgiven; yet well he knew that for the weakness of character which had caused his fall only the grace of Christ could avail. He found in himself nothing in which to glory.


    Sir William Temple: The only thing of my very own which I contribute to my redemption is the sin from which I need to be redeemed.

  • Episode 242: Stewarding the Gospel...of Others First

    Stewarding the Gospel…of Others First

    God’s free amazing grace to each of us calls us to a new way. Solving the sin problem is Jesus leaving the comfort of the adoring angels and the forever unity of the Trinity and putting others first. The gospel is the perfect picture of self-donation, and when Jesus’ followers follow best, that picture of self-donation recurs in good stewarding of the gospel.


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: If we realize that our lives are a beautiful journey with one definite purpose (to live in God's command to love), how will you seek to find ways to make other people's lives better? It's really an adventure of discovery every single day, so what might be the first step?

    Stewarding the Gospel…of Unfairness

    If I run a good race, if I keep the faith, if I obey the law, it seems to be fair that there’s a crown of righteousness and glorious future awaiting me. But how can it be fair for God to do it all, and I just benefit? How can it be right that everyone gets a gift? Who really wants to be treated fairly?


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: When you think about fairness is it about everybody getting the same, or each getting what they deserve, or is it each one getting according to their need?

    Stewarding the Gospel…of Worthiness

    You are worthy of God’s love. You cannot hear this clearly enough or often enough, and you will never understand the depth of this great truth. When we look soberly at ourselves, we might be inclined to believe that we are not worthy. However, we are worthy, not because we deserve the love of God, but because he has declared it so. 


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: If we are worthy by no effort of our own, why are there so many verses telling us how to behave, how to act, how to be righteous?

    Expecting the Unexpected: An Unexpected Life

    Our world is not as God had intended, and while we’re here, we can separate ourselves from our community and live a safe and secluded life – not allowing the “unholiness” of the world to invade. Mary and Joseph made a home in Egypt, which during that time required both giving to and receiving from a community. How can we engage, connect, and bring unexpected kingdom life to our world?

    Expecting the Unexpected: An Unexpected Responsibility

    What if God gives you a purpose for which others have told you that you don’t qualify? “Build my kingdom on earth” is a pretty big responsibility. The shepherds were given the task of announcing the beginning of this new kingdom, and now it’s up to us to begin establishing it in our world. Will we listen to the voices telling us we don’t qualify for that job? Or, like the shepherds, will we believe we are exactly the one God is calling?


    This week one of our #WholeLifeTakeAways asked: What makes it hard to believe this is “good news for all people”?
