Today at The Bridge

After being asked a bund of personal questions last week, Josh wanted his turn to ask some questions, and only Zach was in the room so that means you all get to hear Zach retell his story with some added updates from the past couple of years. Enjoy!

This week it is just Zach and Josh. And so they took this time to get some more details from Josh's testimony and his journey from faith to disbelief and back again. Trust us you are going to enjoy this episode.

The guys are taking the week of Valentine's Day off, so here is the required episode all about how spouses can love each other.

Where do fashion and faith intersect? Should our faith influence the way that we dress? These are the ideas that the guys attempt to tackle on this week's episode. And really, who is better qualified to talk fashion than Zach, Tim, and Josh...

In honor of the annual sermon series, Life Verse, the guys decided to go a different route and talk about their death verses...if you listen we promise it will make sense, or at least we hope so.

It's 2020, and the guys are back for the second half of season two. They decided to kick off the new year they would stick to what they know best, and that, of course, is finding ways to make random stories connect to how God works in the world. Welcome back, everybody!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! What would the nativity story look like if it took place in 2019 in Delaware County, Pennsylvania? This is the question the guys tackled for this year's very Delco Christmas special. They would also like to apologize in advance for all the noise from rustling through maps and using keys to make measurements. It wasn't the best thought out plan for audio recording, but it was a p...

Happy Thanksgiving! This week we have a little treat of thankfulness. They guys get to discuss what they are grateful for in this past year, why God wants us to be thankful. And, of course, what they are most looking forward to eating on Thanksgiving Day. Don't forget that after this episode there will be a two-week break, season 2 will continue on December 12th!

First, we hope you read the title in the voice of the voice-over of the EA Sports guy. If not, go back and try again. But anyway, this week the guys get into the ideas of names. Why do names matter? What about names in the Bible? And of course, we tried to make our case for us naming Colin's baby.

This week we discuss community. Not the NBC show that ran for 6 seasons, though that does come up because let's be honest it is our show. No, instead we talk about the potential pitfalls of community, how to avoid them if possible, and the benefits that outweigh the pitfalls. Along the way, we also talk about the world's negative view of trenchcoats and what happens when you steal chips from a chi...

The Bridge Church is doing a series titled "Life Hacks" about how to make life easier using Scriptural truth. So, the guys decided to join in the fun. In this episode, they talk about why the series was created, the creative nature of God, some hacks for making life easier in general, and spent longer than you would think talking about a series of Disney Channel Original Movies.

You know those times when you go to have a conversation with some friends about how the church should interact with Halloween and spooky material in relation to how those ideas can be used to reach a community and show Christ love to them, but before that happens you have a 20-minute discussion about Flag Day and the church. Yeah, this is one of those times.

The Old Testament makes up the majority of the text in the Bible, yet it is often overlooked. This week Zach, Tim, and Josh try to rectify that by discussing what the Old Testament is and what our relationship is with it. We also made some pit stops for forcing a correlation between the sections of the Bible and the Marvel Cinematic Universe...but at this point, we think that is to be expected.

What do bathrooms, internet cable, and the brokenness of the human condition have to do with each other? This week on "Today at The Bridge" we discuss the idea of original sin and try our dead level best to explore what the Bible and scholars have to say about the human condition and the world we are born into. And since it is our show there is also an inordinate amount of analogies. What can we s...

One of Josh's wish list topics to cover this season was the idea of ordination. So, Tim and Zach obliged him and had an entire conversation about some of the background of ordination from the Scripture, church history, and their own personal experience. Also, someone on the podcast is officially ordained already from an online ordination service...you 'll have to listen to find out who that is.

If there is one thing that we love doing at Today at The Bridge it is definitely taking an idea or thing and then trying to find as many correlations as we can to our faith. If you liked it when we did this with the Zelda franchise last season, then we think you will like this one too. Also, this episode is slightly shorter than usual... but it should still take about the same amount of time as co...

Today at The Bridge is back for Season 2, like a freshly folded clothes drawer...we don't know what that means. To kick off our season Zach, Tim, Josh, and Colin talk about some common verses that are used out of context and then try to put them back into context using good old fashioned hermeneutics. Though we feel you should be warned there is a fair amount of conversation about Nicolas Cage in...

It's the Today at The Bridge season finale and Zach, Tim, and Josh are talking about the weird things that people have tried to "Christianize" in the past. We hope you enjoy it and can't wait to share more conversations like this in season 2. Be on the lookout for some special bonus episodes throughout the summer. Also along the way of this conversation, we may have also hit on these points: Chris...

The guys (minus one) talk about giving. Is there a mandate we should follow about giving? How should the church be responsible for those gifts? Along the way, we also got into: Ladybug killer “Were you able to slip and slide at the same time?” This is just Tim’s therapy The fourth trimester… I guess that’s just a mester? Food will come to you via car Is there a mandate for non-Christians to give?...

We couldn't get Tim in the room with us so we just had a conversation about stress instead with Zach, Josh, and Colin. Life is stressful, but there are ways we can manage it, so we discussed some of those. Along the way we also covered: “More than any episode we need your generous ears” Wouldn’t it be nice if the grass had a pause button Josh has a script The best way to relieve stress Stress bomb...

The guys are joined by special guest, Lead Pastor Aaron Harding, to talk about "The Bridge Church Dream". Along the way they also covered: Paul’s Journeys Cruises The Pastor Swap The Bridge Church Dream What kind of hole would we leave in the community if we didn’t exist? The church shouldn’t function as a corpse “I’ll have an idea, you do the legwork, and I’ll take the return” All of Josh’s quest...

It happened again...We couldn't get a new recording for this week. But, as promised, here is a throwback to our first ever interview with Aaron Harding. Hope you all enjoy it!

Tim and his wife had their baby, and we did not have all the things recorded well enough in advance to have a brand new episode this week. So, instead, enjoy this throwback to one of the first interviews in the old Today at the Bridge format that is all about the guy who just became a Papa.

We thought we were going to have a conversation about the kinds of music we listened to in high school/college, but that took a turn into the impact of music on culture and lifestyles and some music lessons from Tim. Along the way we also covered: Christian Warp Tour Newsboys had an inflatable circus tent Josh was a wee little lad “I thought Superchic[k] was Barlow Girls alter ego” A run-through o...

There are a lot of words that we throw around at church that may not make sense to someone hearing them for the first time. This week we try to bring some understanding to a few of those words. Along the way we also cover: Did Doctor Who go to Fight Club? Dipped back into the well of Mars Josh’s Surprise Christmas Gift Figuring it out as we go along Broadening a view of Soteriology There are probl...
