Upward Calling episodes

  • Thinking fast and thinking slow

    So what do you think you know for sure? And...are you sure you really know it. This week we discuss a book Josh and I have been reading titled "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. It's not a religious book, but there are some excellent spiritual applications.

    There is no specific sermon we're referencing this week since Josh is out of town spending time with family in Alabama.

    Be good and do good!

  • The idol of our opinion

    So how important is your opinion to you? This week we talk about the idol of our own perspectives. Josh and I talk about how in many ways, the entire series has been leading to this pivotal perspective and how we our own opinions can become our biggest hurdle to following God in the way he would want.

    The lesson we reference can be found here.

  • The idols of materialism and spirituality

    It's easy to identify greed and materialism as obvious idols, but have you considered for some Christians, spirituality might also replace God? This week we talk about precisely that. Starting with a deeper dive on the story of the rich young ruler, Josh shows us how spiritual "doing the right thing" could help us miss the point of Christianity.

    The sermon we reference in this episode is available here.
