Economic Labels - Micah Peacock Jul 18, 2018

Show notes

Rich, poor, freeloader, trust fund baby - all words we use to group people by how much money they make and how hard they're willing to work for it. But as with all labels, they rarely tell the whole story and often cloud the deeper truths about a person's life. We've invited Micah Peacock to the podcast to talk to us about economic labels and the trouble they can cause when trying to foster real relationship. Micah has years of ministry experience as a worship leader and consultant, and is currently a financial advisor in the Dallas area. He is uniquely positioned to discuss the power of economic labels and the barriers we can break down if we choose to set them aside.

Evangelism, Shepherding, and Teaching - Dr. Priscilla Pope-Levison Jun 13, 2018

Evangelism - you'd have a hard time finding a word in the Christian faith with more social, political, and historical charge.

We've invited Dr. Priscilla Pope-Levison, Associate Dean for External Programs at Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University, to share her insight and walk us through what it looks like to share our faith the way Jesus did.
