All of the Above

Jonathan Franklin, Bryce Harrison, and Mikey Smith discuss the way stories impact evangelism and how a stoplight can help categorize evangelistic encounters. 

Aaron and Bryce discuss evangelism; the what, why, how, and who.  Give it a listen! 

A few weeks back, Trevor and Josh sat down to discuss the pandemic, the Christian discussion around masks, and how we MUST navigate differing convictions in these contentious times.  ---- Ken Sande article: https://rw360.org/2013/03/07/charitable-judgements-an-antidote-to-judging-others/ Brett McCracken wisdom pyramid: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/watch-diet-in-covid-19-crisis/...

Trevor and Aaron discuss the difference between God's rest and ours, and the presence of God we experience now and what we'll experience in the New Jerusalem.

Trevor and Aaron discuss a few recently questions.  What is the purpose of The Big Questions forum? Why are we choosing to do it at this time? What does help from God actually look like? I can't see him. If the church is Jesus' body, how do I distinguish between looking for encouragement from him through his body vs. merely relying on other humans? How do I know that help from the church is a...

Trevor and Aaron discuss a few recently questions. With a guest appearance from Trevor's kids.

Once again pastoral resident, Jonathan Franklin, talks with our church planter, Bryce Harrison, and one of our members, Reagan Koschel, on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic, The Lord of the Rings, and how they help us love Jesus.

Pastoral resident, Jonathan Franklin, talks with our church planter, Bryce Harrison, and one of our members, Reagan Koschel, on how reading incites love for God and His good world.

How ought we think of hell? And specifically annihilationism? What about the death penalty? Can broken people in a broken system deliver true justice? Trevor, Aaron, & Bryce spend some time discussing these two questions via Zoom. Thanks, Zoom!

The questions Trevor and Aaron tackle: What happened to the toy room? Why don’t we do the feasts given to Israel any longer?  What about the Lord’s Supper? Why didn’t Trevor mention mention that? Isn’t that literally a “feast” Christians practice? Why aren’t we taking the Lord's Supper during our time apart?

Schools are closed for the foreseeable future due to Covid-19. That means there are lots of parents in our body who now have to figure out what it looks like to homeschool.  Trevor thought it’d be helpful to recruit a few of our homeschooling mothers to give some advice to those of us newly-minted homeschooling parents.  What do we need to know? Recognizing that some of us have been thro...

The questions Trevor and Aaron tackle: Is Trevor wearing a nice button down from the waist up and pajama pants from the waist down? Can you speak to the collateral damage of God’s wrath? How can this passage be used to give hope and truth to those around us who are not believers? Why would God allow evil such as Boko Haram, genocide, Hitler, etc?

Ephesians 6:4 says, "Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." Family worship is one of the key ways we can do that.  Let's take advantage of this forced reset and institute this discipline! Goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to be good enough!   1. Read — passage; psalm, story, parable of Jesus, a few lines from an epis...

What does Screwtape have to say about the coronavirus?  Listen up. The quote Trevor read from Screwtape Letters : You say you are "delirious with joy" because the European humans have started another of their wars. I see very well what has happened to you. You are not delirious; you are only drunk… Do not allow any temporary excitement to distract you from the real business of undermining fai...

Trevor and Bryce talk about the self and the teachings of Jesus. How are we to think about being ourselves when Jesus calls us to die to self? Give us a listen and learn what made Bryce's last Thursday so special?

"For many, the idea that Christianity is a white, Western religion, intrinsically tied to cultural imperialism, stands a major ethical barrier to considering Christ."  --Rebecca McLaughlin, Confront Christianity So how are we to think about this question?  Does Christianity necessarily crush diversity?

We sing some of the best songs ever written this time of year. What are some of the greatest? And what makes them great? And which is the most emo of the Christmas / Advent songs? This and more!

Remember the setting; a grandparent's kitchen, cookies baking. A best friend's basement with a retro video game system. The smell of your dad after cutting the grass.  The soundtrack to your studies at college. We're all nostalgic for something.  We all possess a longing for some good ole days long gone. We think fondly of these memories with joy and sadness. We're *especially* nostalgic...

We'd all like to change. But into what? And why? Something we hope is that every person a part of our church changes. Trevor and Aaron discuss a book that we think is a really helpful resource in pursuing the right sort of change.

Our church has been blessed with lots of opportunities to invest in young men and women, particularly those interested in vocational ministry. This week, Trevor interviews one of those young men, Jonathan Franklin.  Jonathan serves as one of our pastoral residents. We spend this episode talking about his family background, how he became a believer, where he wants to serve and minister long-te...

In Rev. 3:14-22, Jesus condemns the church at Laodicea for a lukewarmness rooted in overconfidence in wealth, autonomy, and affluence.  In many respects, this is very much like the church in 21st century America.  How so?  How might this be true of us today, both as individuals and as a church?  How might we be able to say that we "live in Laodicea" as 21st century Americans? &...

What do the next several weeks look like for TCGS?  More importantly, what's the "WHY" that undergirds these things?  How do these events fit into our overall vision as a church? Trevor sits down with Aaron Markham, our discipleship director, to discuss all this in this week's episode! For more info on all the things discussed today, visit our website: tcgreerstation.com.

On October 12-19, Trevor and a handful of folks from TCGS and TCC visited Lima, Peru to serve, work, evangelize, and observe the work of Food for the Hungry.  On this week's episode, Trevor discusses the trip with Carlos Causillas (a member of TCC and our team leader) on Carlos' back porch; they discuss what Carlos was encouraged by, and what he hopes our churches take away from the trip. Giv...

Over the last 18 months we've been slowly working on our founding documents - our statement of faith, covenant, and constitution.  Maybe you hear that and maybe you think to yourself: Why mess with a church covenant, statement of faith, and constitution in the first place? They aren't in the bible. The early church didn't need them.  Churches in other parts of the world are getting...

Sometimes Christians get famous. Other times famous people become Christians. How should those none famous Christians among us respond? Should we be happy? Encouraged? Or doubtful? Cynical? This week Trevor and Jim Slice discuss this topic and a little about some guy named "Kanye."
