Each episode this year has brought an answer to a question that I think is so big. That question..."when we say God what are we actually trying to say?". Here are those answers, in part.
Bible stories are...a bit weird aren't they? We gloss them over and sanitize them without thinking and at the same time rob the purpose. What happens when we engage with them, intentionally, with a small group of those closest to us?
This week I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Pastor Brian Zahnd to discuss a bit about his most recent book, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God . Brian is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church, a non-denominational Christian congregation in Saint Joseph, Missouri. Brian and his wife, Peri, founded the church in 1981. Brian is also the author of several books, including, Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Water to Wine, A Farewell To Mars, Beauty Will Save the World, and Unconditional?: The Call of Jesus to Radical Forgiveness.
You can find all Brians work at https://brianzahnd.com/ and I encourage you to connect with him on Twitter as well at @BrianZahnd
Today we discuss the virgin birth and the incarnation of Jesus with Kyle Roberts. This is a topic that is definitely intimidating but so worthwhile. Was she or wasn't she...and does it even matter if she's a virgin. What is the lens in the #metoo and #churchtoo movements. There is much going on here.
I had the pleasure of speaking with Keith Giles this week about the state of our Country, our Politics, and our faith. How we need to be mindful and careful to remember to what and how we pledge our unwavering allegiance. Keith is a former pastor who left the pulpit over a decade ago to follow Jesus as well as the author of several books, including “Jesus Untangled: Crucifying Our Politics To Pledge Allegiance To The Lamb.”
