unBetween

We know you'll be shocked, but we're talking about the middle ground again.

In this conversation, we talk about our tendency (in America, anyway) to look towards political policies, leaders, and parties to solve the problem of the human condition. Trouble is, they can't - and we forget that to the detriment of our ability to be salt and light.

What we need vs. what we want is almost always different. We often try to substitute a desire for inspiration with the necessary, yet uncomfortable, need for instruction. This is especially evident when it comes to the church. 

In this episode we attempt to discuss these things in truth and with grace. We talk about spiritual growth, the seeker friendly trend, nominal Christianity, and many other things that are at play here.

What is it that sticks out to people about us? What allegiances do we wear on our sleeves that we're not aware of?

In this episode, we try to parse being purposeful vs. being partisan, and ponder (that's a lot of p's) what it would take to be in tune with God and what He wants from us.

Things aren't always what they seem. We live in a world where many parse out the different part of their lives depending on how they want to be seen. And in some cases, we just do things because it seems like that is how they should be done. Not confusing at all right?

We know how we should live in view of God's mercy and grace. That said, we often look more like whitewashed tombs than temples of the living God. In this episode we talk ethics, compassion, and loving those around us. 

Welcome to Season 3 of unBetween!

You've probably heard that you should put God first in your life. But what if He doesn't want to be first? What if He wants to be more than that?

We talk about priorities, community, perspective, and a lot more in this first episode of 2023.

As we wrap up 2022, we reflect on the past year of life, podcasting, and uncertainty. It has been a busy year and many things have happened. Our discussion covers things like our failed attempts to plan out our lives, the importance of community, seeking clarity over comfort, and many other things. 

We are excited about what is to come for the unBetween podcast over the next year as we seek to have even more conversations around loving God and people well in this tension we occupy.

Jason Truby is back to continue our conversation about his experiences as a musician and a Christian, but a lot of our time is spent reflecting on the nature of our lives as people of faith, and how, at the end of the day, the only question that really matters is "Do you know Him?"

Jason Truby has worn a lot of musical hats over the years - from metal, to hard rock, to acoustic, to fingerstyle, and a few other stops along the way. He was a founding member of Living Sacrifice and lead guitarist for P.O.D., but the uniting factor in all of his endeavors is the desire to create honest art that reflects the greatness of God, the original Artist.

The second part of our conversations with our favorite art punk prophet. Josh Porter has a new book out, and he was gracious enough to return to the mic to talk with us about it!

Death to Deconstruction - Faithfulness As An Act of Rebellion chronicles Josh's pilgrimage through his own deconstruction of his faith and religion, and explains the reasons he chose to remain a Christian - and why you should, too.

You can order the new book, read the synopsis, and check out the other projects that Josh has going on at joshuasporter.com

Jason is down-to-earth, personable, and humble, but also deeply reflective and insightful, so we were smiling laughing, and deeply moved during this conversation - often all at the same time!
