Bible Basics: He's Not Heavy He's My Brother Mar 11, 2024

Genesis 15-20 is the saga of a family who is called to be different in the way God asks us all to be different, making this the story of us.

By the time we read of Jesus' birth, Herod the Great was the third richest man on earth, changing the Temple in Jerusalem into the Wonder of the Ancient World.

Jericho Road: Take Me Home Country Road Oct 24, 2023

Question: How do we make our religion fit our priorities?

Jericho Road: Running on Empty Sep 25, 2023

There are two back stories in Scripture that inform all the others, "Exodus," and "Exile," and we know the first because we've seen the movie. We have chapters and chapters on the Exodus, but with the Exile there are only whispers. In this podcast we will consider what it meant for God's people to lose their homes, their Temple, and most importantly, their Ark, all while discovering God is always near.
Question: How have we coped with loss? How did we get busy?
How is God revealed to us in times of pain?

Jericho Road: Where You Lead I Will Follow Sep 18, 2023

This episode looks at the origins of the Ark of the Covenant, which also means the origins of the Tablets of Ten Commandments, which also means the origins of writing, which also means the origins of original sin. We will consider the strategy of "God in a box" and the danger of supposing that portable means anything less than Holy.
Question: How has our faith weathered in times of change?

Jericho Road: This Old House Sep 11, 2023

2 Samuel 7 is the most important scripture passage no one ever talks about. King David is at the top of his game, with a unified nation and new capital city, Jerusalem. Now he wants to build God a house, a Temple. In response God's prophet pulls no punches, "I don't want a house." Temples can be trouble and worse yet distracting, and in time this Temple would be both. In this episode, we will begin the contrast between worship that is nimble and pivots (the ark), worship that is fixed (the Temple), with strengths and weaknesses of both.
Reflection Questions:
When it comes to our religion, how do we confuse means with ends?

How have you felt Jesus in a storm?

Living Water: Where's the Beef Apr 17, 2023

Living Water: He's Gone! Apr 10, 2023

Living Water: The Things We Do For Love Apr 04, 2023

Living Water: It's a Heartache Mar 27, 2023

We all know that "Jesus Wept" is the shortest verse in the Bible. We may not know what a mind blowing idea this verse conveys.

Living Water: Stop! In the Name of Love! Mar 20, 2023

Living Water: We Are Family Mar 13, 2023

Question: When were you last living in God's Time?

Living Water: Beach Boys Feb 20, 2023

John 21 is the last chapter in that Gospel and for many remains a mystery. It is after Easter, and the disciples are back fishing, and yet this feels right to me. Two clues will help us find new meaning in this beachside scene.
Reflection Question: What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?

Living Water: On the Road Again Feb 13, 2023

This podcast will take us to the world of Paul, which means those tiny books in the back of our Bible. Far away from the World of Jesus, Paul sets the world on fire with a new idea he calls the "Gospel," and like Jesus, this message invites trouble...
Reflection Question: How is our faith costly? If not, why?

Living Water: Method to My Madness Feb 06, 2023

Living Water: 10 Miles to Change the World Jan 31, 2023

Living Water: People Are Not Things Jan 23, 2023

The story of the Walk to Emmaus is an Easter story, and only found in Luke. It is also a mystery, because there are more than one place claiming to be the town!

Born to Run Nov 28, 2022

In our Gospels we see Jesus encountering mostly invisible people, the poor and vulnerable.

Reflection Question:
What do authentic apologies look like?

A Well and a Madman Nov 21, 2022

Rollin' on the River Nov 14, 2022

Walk Like an Egyptian Nov 07, 2022

How can we be more different than the world around us?

What's up with the Golden Calf? Sep 19, 2022

Between a Rock and a Wet Place Aug 29, 2022

Water is a big deal in the Bible, and not just because it's scare and they all prayed for it. God's people were also caught between two superpowers that were big and bad, and yes, full of water. In a world like this, it can be hard to trust, and yet Scripture says we must.

What would it be like to have everything but still not be free?

Jericho Road: The Way Mark Tells the Story, Episode 29 Apr 11, 2022

Most places in the Holy Land today are approximate locations, often churches to evoke a memory or celebrate and event.

How has Grace saved the day?

Jericho Road: The Way Mark Tells the Story, Episode 26 Mar 22, 2022

How can we be “all in,” as we follow Jesus?

What does it mean to call Jesus our “King?”

How is this king different?

Jericho Road: The Way Mark Tells the Story, Episode 25 Mar 15, 2022

Jericho Road: The Way Mark Tells the Story, Episode 18 Jan 17, 2022

Scripture Passage: Mark 10:1-16
Reflection Questions:
1. In this episode, Rich discusses the difference between “means,” and “ends” when it comes to Scripture. How has the Bible been misused in this way?

For Jesus, the land and its people are the Bible, and for the next two episodes we will leave Mark’s Gospel and spend time with what may be the best and most radical story of all. It’s a story of what happens when four travelers converge, and the good guy belongs to a hated minority. We call him the “Good Samaritan.”

Jericho Road: The Way Mark Tells the Story, Episode 7 Oct 04, 2021

There are mysteries to the Gospels that can only be solved by living in the world of Jesus, which is to say that context reveals deeper meaning. In this episode we use both history and archeology to reveal something called "The Messianic Secret."
