The distance from Unlimited (God) to limited (humans) is both endlessly vast and ever-present through the work of Jesus. Join us in a gripping discussion of Hebrews 2:5-18.

Joy of suffering? What? There are two basic human story lines: one of survival and one of union with the Unlimited God. If we are attempting to live out some version of the survival story, suffering is something contrary to our survival. If we are living a story line of union with the Unlimited God in His permanence, then suffering is a source of immense joy as an invitation for joining with God. This may be our favorite conversation so far on this podcast and we are grateful to those that hear this discussion.

We continue our conversation in Hebrews with 2:1-4. Do you have a craving for some Greek today? We don't mean Greek food or Greek Yogurt, but the language in which the New Testament was originally written. If so, this is the episode for you. If you have a craving for some poorly pronounced Greek words, then this episode will be exactly what you seek. If you want to know to what we are to pay attention, then this is also the episode for you. So much for everyone today. Enjoy and thank you for joining us.

Let's talk about fear. Join us as we talk through fear and how the biblical perspective of love fits perfectly with the concept of fear. In some ways, they are directly associated like two repulsing magnetic poles. Both are also very much about perspective and the permanent purpose and nature of God. Join us and hopefully these concepts will come together in a meaningful way for you.

The permanence of Jesus is essential and pivotal to everything. Join us as we continue our study in Hebrews as we discuss how the book corrects a mistaken perspective about Jesus and why this correction is so important to our perspective of God and the situations in which we experience living. Jesus is reliable and permanent; nothing else is.

God has one purpose for us: Focus on Him and join (unite) with His glory. In this episode we begin to unpack this purpose and what it means to "join" with His glory. We also begin to explore the unified nature of God (Triune God) and see the pervasive returning to a concept of union, joining, oneness, "I in You and You in Me", etc. throughout all of scripture. This is a foundational understanding of God and His purpose that few of us really grasp. Understanding this is ESSENTIAL.

The Word of God is from the Unlimited God; His speaking to us and connecting with us as a repeated invitation to join with His glory. Starting with Hebrews 1:1-4, we begin to explore scripture from the question, "How does this glorify God?". We especially loved the imagery of Jesus as the "radiance of the glory of God", but there was just so much within these first four verses. It is not surprising that the Unlimited God would breathe words that overwhelm us.

The most beautiful reality of humanity is our limitations. What? That sounds crazy and counterintuitive. How do we win if we are limited? This episode begins to answer this and pose even better questions around God's design of humans toward His pupose.

Why are we in ministry? At the risk of sounding like an actor, what's our motivation? In this honest conversation, we explore motivations for ministry and then the genuine purpose. Those are often not the same thing.

Who is God? This is the first question of any and all substance. It is not the final question; it is the first question. All other questions stem from this primary question. If we start with any other question, we get this answer wrong. Here we will begin to unpack the nature of God as Unlimited and why this is absolutely essential to our lives and ministry. This is just the beginning of this conversation.
