Do you ever have issues loving somebody else? There are be many reasons why relationships can be difficult – you’re probably already thinking of them . . . and maybe even thinking about the specific people you’re having a difficult time with. There are many ways to talk about relationship advice, but today we are going to focus on a different approach – one that we haven’t talked about before. In this episode we will talk about the metaphor that we see in the Bible as the church being the bride of Christ – and how this image impacts our relationships.  In today's episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Vermon Pierre, pastor of Roosevelt Community Church in Phoenix Arizona and author of the new book, Dearly Beloved: How God’s Love for His Church Deepens Our Love For Each Other. In this conversation, Jason and Vermon talk about how cultural tendencies are making it easier for people to live separately from one another, what the biblical metaphor for marriage means, some ways that we can live a beloved life, and more.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland.

What God's Love For You Teaches About How We Should Love Others

Think of a time in your life . . . maybe that time is right now . . . when you were grieving something. Maybe it was the loss of a loved one. Maybe it was the death of a dream, a betrayal . . . maybe it was even something as simple as a change in a routine. What did you do with that grief? For so many people, maybe even for you, the answer to that question is . . . nothing. And if you're honest, maybe it’s still affecting you today. That’s the reality for so, so many people – we haven’t been taught how to grieve. Grief is unavoidable so we should spend time to learn how to process it in a healthy way.  In this episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Steve Carter. Steve is the best-selling author of The Thing Beneath the Thing and his latest book, Grieve, Breathe, Receive. In this conversation, Jason talks with Steve about his personal history having to learn how to grieve, how to process through a Grieve, Breathe, Receive framework (and what it has to do with Holy Week), how to grieve relationally, and so much more.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland.

Learning How to Grieve, Breathe, and Receive with Steve Carter

As Christians, we have brothers and sisters not just in your church, or your country, but all around the world. Oftentimes it's hard for us to grasp that we are connected in the body of Christ with people from other countries. In this second episode on the Family of God, we're going to look at how we should relate as brothers and sisters in Christ to people we don't even know. It may be easy for us to appreciate how to relate to the person we see at church every week . . . but what about the fellow believer you disagree with on cable news? Or the person living out their faith in a whole other continent?  In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Dr. Ed Stetzer, Dean of Talbot School of Theology, Editor-in-Chief of Outreach Magazine, and host of Ed Stetzer Live on Moody Radio. Jason and Ed talk about Ed's book Christians in the Age of Outrage, how we should think about and relate to people we have never met, how the truth of the family of God should impact leadership and Missions, and much more.  Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland.

How Should I Relate to the Global Family of God with Dr. Ed Stetzer

It's not controversial to acknowledge that relationships can be hard - even really hard. Now, relationships can also be amazing, life-giving, and beautiful . . . but they can also be hard. In this episode we’re going to start a two-week look at a truly important topic: the family of God. If we did a better job of appreciating and living out the reality of the family of God in all areas of life, we would see a marked difference in the way we approach life. We’re going to start the conversation today by looking at how the idea of the family of God should impact our immediate relationships.  In this episode host Jason Wieland is joined by Jason Williams, Executive Pastor of Ministries at Saddleback Church. The two Jasons talk about what the theology of the family of God means, the hallmarks of the family of God, common obstacles that make these can make those hallmarks difficult to exhibit, how to handle conflict, and so much more.

Embracing the Beautiful Mess of Relationships

Do you consider yourself a master of anxiety? You find yourself feeling anxious easily, always concerned about the next thing or something seemingly out of your control? Maybe you wouldn’t say you’re a master of anxiety . . . maybe you’re just a duke of anxiety, or an apprentice. I don’t think there’s any denying that we all feel anxious at times. And for many people . . . the global statistics suggest an ever-increasing number of people . . . anxiety is a part of daily life.  In this episode of Doable Discipleship, host Jason Wieland is joined by Alan Fadling, President and Founder of Unhurried Living and author of the new book, “A Non-Anxious Life: Experiencing the Peace of God's Presence.” Today’s episode focuses on what the Bible says about anxiety, common issues that bring anxiety into our lives, and practices that we can do to move from being masters of anxiety to masters of peace. If you are struggling with anxiety right now, this episode is for you. If you have ever struggled with anxiety, this episode is for you. If you have never struggled with anxiety in your life this episode is still for you because we can all benefit from learning how we can practice peace no matter what we are facing in life.
