Show notes

It’s easy to think corruption, false teaching, and spiritual abuse in the church are new. Through letters like this in the New Testament, we know that isn’t true. By studying these letters, we are given the tools to handle the pain of betrayal by people in the church.

Show notes

Mini: Tired of Fearful News? John 14:27 Feb 01, 2024

Show notes

The peace he leaves us isn’t deadness inside. It’s not toxic positivity or political power. But rather a sure reliance that he has done so far what he has said he will do.

78. How to Find Community with Holly Coolman Jan 30, 2024

Show notes

It can feel hard if not impossible to find community when we are also trying to parent kids, and yet we know that our kids need a solid community around them. Today Holly and I talk about how to find healthy community and how to see child-rearing as a vocation to which parents are called that requires them to develop the skills of apprenticeship and invitation. She also locates raising children firmly within the context of the church.

Mini: Do You Value What God Values? Matthew 6:19-20a Jan 25, 2024

Show notes

This verse is a reminder that the goal of believers isn’t to get everything out of life that we can or to collect a show room that celebrates our good taste. But to value souls made in his image.

MINI: Is God With Me When I'm Suffering Consequences? Ps 62:5 Jan 18, 2024

Many of us endure pain that is the consequence of our actions. We repent and find forgiveness, but that doesn’t always mean our circumstances change. What we can know from this verse is that God is with us even in that kind of pain. He is a reliable place to put our hope.
