Upstream with Jim and Jon

This week, Jim and Jon talk about whether or not you can trust the knowledge and advice of non-Christians, if there is a difference between them at all, and about the nature of Truth. It's a doozy!

We live in a culture that has a lot of respect for our "feelings." Our culture also has opinions on how those feelings should be regarded in terms of Truth. Fortunately for this show, so do Jim and Jon. Enjoy!

Does God care what I do for a living? And if so is there one specific job for me? These questions and more are tentatively answered by Jim and Jon in this episode. There's some baseball talk thrown in too.

Our lives are the sum of our decisions. For Jim this is very good news, and for Jon not so much. Settle in for a deep dive into why exactly that is.

No, you aren't confused; Valentine's Day was months ago. Nevertheless Jon is here to interview Jim about the incredible highs and sneaky pitfalls of a 35- year marriage.

Jim and Jon talk about their favorite movies and explore what that says about them. Why do men love certain kinds of movies and what do those movies speak to in the heart of a man?

This week, Jim and Jon breeze through the delightfully simple concept of the sovereignty of God. That is a joke. This was a tough one to chew on, but they do happen upon some insights along the way.

In this episode, Jim and Jon try their best to define what exactly a church is, and whether or not it is still necessary, or even relevant, to the modern Christian Faith (Spoiler: it is).

Is political engagement an expectation God has for believers? What level of engagement should that be? What role does government play in the Kingdom of God? Jim and Jon discuss these issues and more.

Does God desire abundance for everyone? What is abundance? What is God's part in providing abundantly? What is our part? What about bad things happening to great people? What derails abundance and how do we keep our priorities straight?
