Season Two – Episode 3: Kick off Conversation

Episode #3.   Why this Podcast? What are we doing and where are we going? 2020 has turned all our plans upside down, but we’re still in the game. Getting our feet with season one, Dawn and Tanya are jumping into uncharted territory with season two. Come rip the lid of the tidy box we like to keep Jesus in. Pull away the safety net of our assumptions. Say hello to a fresh vision for following Jesus. Consider new voices and join the conversation. 

For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

Ephesians 2:14-18

Season Two – Episode 2 Scripture Reading: Book of Job

What do we do when our worst fears become reality? One of the oldest tales in human history, journey with Job as he laments, grieves, complains, rages, and ultimately finds peace with God. Ancient yet timely, this tale profoundly resonates for our current day as we cope with life during a global pandemic.

“What is man that you make so much of him? That you give him so much attention, that you examine him every morning, and test him every moment? Will you never look away from me, or let me alone for an instant? If I have sinned, what have I done to you, O watcher of men?

Job 7:17-20

With Jen Hatmaker a spoonful of laughter makes the medicine go down, as she ruffles feathers, tosses out truth bombs, and generally disrupts our comfortable church routine. Interrupted takes us along on the Hatmakers’ journey from their safe and predictable lifestyle christianity, to the wild ride of living on mission for Jesus. Bring it on Jen! We love you!

Episode #7. Never a dull moment with one of our favorite church history buffs Phyllis Tickle, as she helps us understand some of the historical patterns of growth and change within the Church and our society as a whole. If you’ve never encountered Church Emergence theory you may need to take a deep breath and clear your head to make room for some mind expanding concepts. Join the conversation with Tanya and Dawn as they explore this eye opening book, and also take a look at The Book of James.

“Emergents, because they are postmodern, believe in paradox; or more correctly, they recognize the ubiquity of paradox and are not afraid of it. Instead, they see in its operative presence the tension where vitality lives”
-Phyllis Tickle-

So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless
