If you are new to Signs of Life, this is a great place to start!

Plus worship from Josh Jacob and Joel Searby's 'Daily Dose'.

Episode 19: Instruments of Peace Apr 24, 2020

Show notes

What might our lives look like if we add one more choice to decisions we're confronting — what is the third way when the choices appear to be binary? We're watching standoffs between activists pushing to open up state economies and government officials considering what is best for the health and safety of their citizens. Through that lens the team asks, "How do we become 'instruments of peace' in these moments?" Plus Dan Haseltine brings us new music with John Mark McMillan!

And Dan Haseltine ponders opening bowling alleys before being joined by Andy Gullahorn, who shares music and the spiritual discipline of the high five.

Episode 16: Stepping Up Apr 21, 2020

It's another packed show with Jefferson Bethke referencing Chick-fil-A in hopes of getting free sandwiches or to make a point about trusting God — we're not sure which. Calvin Lee tells us about leaders who are 'stepping up' (looking at you Shake Shack!), One America's Andrew Hanauer stops by to talk about #LoveYourNeighbor and the team chats about how we might approach our financial resources in this context. Plus 'How To Live Well', the 'Daily Dose' and worship from Josh Jacob.

Episode 15: A Whole New World Apr 20, 2020

Show notes

In today's episode, the Signs Of Life crew talks about how our faith could influence our actions in this unique moment. Is this when we reveal who we really are? Marisa Prince amplifies the point, "If we're not going to hoard the toilet paper, then let's not hoard the peace!" Joel Searby checks in with the Daily Dose, and Jefferson Bethke shares how we can get closer while we're spending time apart. Plus, Jonathan Noel brings some new music from his home studio in Raleigh.

Episode 14: Help Is On The Way Apr 17, 2020

Our daily whip around the U.S. brings us from Boston to Florida, Hawaii, Nashville and back — working through what we do in moments like this when we're out of control. The team walks through some practical ideas for how to make it through the loneliness and isolation we're all experiencing, and some deeper ideas connected to our identity and purpose for these times.

Joel Searby brings a Daily Dose, Jefferson Bethke checks in from Hawaii, Calvin Lee gets us caught up on the news plus the 'movie quote of the day' from the great Al Pacino — can you guess which film? To close out the show our man Dan Haseltine welcomes Mac Powell and after reminiscing about some old school Jars of Clay/Third Day road stories Mac shares new music and a classic from his home in Atlanta.

Episode 11: Love Your Neighbor Apr 14, 2020

Show notes

Joel Searby brings a Daily Dose about how we can experience freedom, even while we're all locked down. It's a message for now or anytime. Jefferson Bethke checks in from Maui with a reminder that Easter isn't just one day — reminding us to 'sit in' the resurrection story, and the stories behind our scars. Speaking of stories, Calvin Lee is back with some innovative newsmakers and 'pandemic pivots'.
