God walks with us in our suffering. He lets Himself be affected and feels our pain too.

We cover a challenging scripture today and hope to hold the both between individualism and communalism. Our over-emphasis on individualism often causes us to dismiss parts of scripture - like this one where Jesus heals a blind man and he was born blind so God can be glorified.

In less than 20 verses we cover Jesus' determination to heal right after death threats, miraculous signs, boldness, Jesus showing us how we shouldn't care about those who wrongly hate us, and Jesus' desire to free us from American self-obsession which has permeated the church and makes us miserable.

**Update to Schedule** New Epsidoes every Wednesday. With a baby on the way (woo!), I can only upload one episode a week for now. // Today we talk about how we all are tempted to be a pharisee. We can all hold to our man-made beliefs above who Jesus really is.  Jesus was put to death by people like this. Instead of buckling down in self-justification, owning our failure and sin, in the presence of a loving God, and in true Christian community, is the only true path to freedom.  Trying to sustain a mask of perfection is draining and impossible. 
 
(John 8:1-47)

Jesus Isn't Popular With...

Wednesday Oct 12, 2022

Wednesday Oct 12, 2022

Right after the people are excited and amazed about Jesus for feeding them, they are quick to reject Him. The crowd, like us, is fickle. We can easily pursue and follow God when we get what we want and when things are good. What would it be like to be more like Peter in this example, who, when Jesus asked if the 12 would leave him too, replied: "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life" (John 6:68)

The equation for the fruitful Christian is daily reliance on Christ. Christian literally means "little Christ." Anything truly Christian requires Christ's power and love - we cannot muster Christlikeness from our own strength. This humble requirement challenges me. It's easier to rely on my own strength and submit to how much I need Jesus. We are invited into a radical relationship. Instead of covering up our weaknesses, we are invited to showcase them and talk about them with God and see His power perfected in them.

People politize Jesus today but also did it back in His time. We want God to serve us instead of being servants open to His will. These desires tend to come from a place of fear. Fear unchecked often leads to anger.  It's easy to be tempted to judge non-Christians for a lack of morality but what about us Christians? When we are just as hateful and yet "have" the truth. God is inviting us to own our brokenness and our desperate need for the Holy Spirit to make us more like the real Jesus - to show His light.

Why Isn't My Salt Salty?

Wednesday Sep 28, 2022

Wednesday Sep 28, 2022

Curmudgeons are fun when they're on TV like Nick Offerman's Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. But what happens when Christians are more like curmudgeons than like Christ? What about those of us who "broadcast" faith on social media, podcasts, books, conversations etc? Do our conversations give grace to hearers? Do they create a thirst for surrendering more to Christ or just to fear? Are they invitational or closed-circuit social clubs? We explore these topics and more on today's episode.

Today we look at a couple of stories around the controversial topic of supernatural healing.  We see Jesus meeting human beings where they are at.  He pushes against legalism and challenges the way we think of sharing the gospel and conducting religion. Hop into the story with us and get to know Jesus more!

When the woman at the well encountered Jesus she had to share Him. Jesus was attractive to these "outcasts" and wanted to hear what He had to say. They quickly become believers.  This should make us pause, if we are sharing Jesus correctly, shouldn't people be interested, hungry and thirsty? Did we meet Jesus in kindness, grace, and love or harsh demands?
 
For human flourishing we need to attend to our mind, body, spirit and heart. In this example Jesus talks about feeding our Spirit by being attuned and connected to the Father. When we live out the good works God has called us into, we can feel full. We talk about the balance between serving and saying yes, but also when we need to take a break. Balance is missing in the dialogue of our world, and we need to find the healthy balance and rhythms of life.
