Journey NOW

Our video equipment failed this week, so YouTube watchers are in for a stick art treat from super-producer Edwin Rivera III. Go figure: We have a week with real content, and the visuals go on vacation. Speaking of trips, Mike Erre and Seth Erre are just back from a week at  Hope Heals , a camp serving people with disabilities and their families. They detail the profound experiences that helped Mik...

Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons and Chris McClarney are redeeming the ‘Ween, and worshipping in ways seen and unseen. Confused yet?

In our most recent Sunday conversation about living eternal life here on Earth, Layla Shahmohammedi asked about Christians who don’t image Jesus and non-Christians who seemingly do. Is it possible to live in The Way of Jesus without being Christian? So, this week Kevin Dixon sits down with Journey’s Will McCauley, Lucius Patenaude and Kassedy Knight. Where are they going without even knowing the w...

This is a man’s world, but the podcast ain’t nothing without a Suzie Lind. Or maybe it’s really something when she’s gone—as Tim Timmons, Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon share how hard it is to be a man. Then, they explore what it means to reclaim their full huMANity as image bearers who aren’t always imaging God.   - - - - -  Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

We’ve got a stankin’ problem this week when new associate worship pastor  Chris McClarney  joins bros  Mike Erre  and  Kevin Dixon . With no estrogen in the house, Chris wastes no time in naming his first NOW episode. Then, listeners ask about losing salvation and where human agency fits with a God who does the active work of saving us.  - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join...

Kevin Dixon  broke the Internet this week  when he showed his driver’s license on the Journey livestream. Apparently,  it’s a no-no to share personal ID on YouTube . Kevin’s point was that just knowing the basic facts about someone doesn’t mean you know them. Same thing with Jesus. So, how can we, individually and in community, get beyond what we know ABOUT God and actually just KNOW Him? Mike Err...

Our NOW team of Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons, Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon are  radically rethinking God’s wrath. If you’ve lived in fear of a God who’s ready to push the SMITE button when you screw up, this episode is for you. Plus, producer Edwin Rivera III’s wrath exceeds even God’s when he puts Kevin in coaster jail.  - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join the conversation by text...

We often treat eternal life like something we don't really think about until the clock runs out. But what if "life unto the age" isn't a destination you arrive at, but a reality you inhabit right now? This week, Mike Erre , Kevin Dixon , Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons gather (limping ankles and all) to discuss why the "not yet" matters a whole lot less if we aren't payi...

Biblia o balbuceo? Mike Erre, aka El Grande Guapo, is celebrating Cinco De Mayo by butchering Spanish and ordering takeout from one of Nashville’s most authentic Mexican restaurants. Then, Suzie Lind , Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons join him in responding to listener questions about the Tree of Life, which we studied on Sunday.  - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join the conversa...

This week, Mike Erre reminded us that that the Bible's story isn't so much about Heaven vs Hell. Instead, it’s about how Heaven and Earth are reconciled . People focus way too much on Hell, he said. So, what kind of questions did we get on the text line afterwards? Oh, about 25 messages on Hell. Aw, heck. Here we go discussing it just this once. Special guest  Lauren Sellers joins Kevin Di...

We’re putting a bow on our study of John this week with a closer look at how Jesus reconciled with Peter. There’s at least 8 minutes of content at the end, but first we’re building our tallest-ever tower of babble with Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons and Mike Erre. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 02:00 More To Love 09:09 “Oiling The Fig” 15:01 Playing El Cajon 18:46 Content Begins. But not really, bec...

On Sunday, Suzie Lind recast “Doubting Thomas” as “ Honest Thomas .” She’s joined on this week’s NOW panel by Kevin Dixon, Sam Barnhart and Ross King to dig deeper on what it means to be honest about faith in the midst of disappointment and unanswered prayer.  - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

Bro, if Jesus carried his cross, the least we can do is load up a barbell and Instagram ourselves walking a half mile with it. Right? Maybe too performative? NOW talkers, Kevin Dixon , Mike Erre , Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind reflect on the best ways to completely misrepresent Christianity. Which leads to a discussion of world leaders maybe doing the same thing. You think? - - - - - Have a question...

We're studying a radically different view of the Passover --that its covering wasn't to save people from God's wrath. Instead, it revealed God's desire to save us from what Jesus called "the deystroyer." That thin line between love and hate changes everything, so listeners have questions. And this week's NOW team of Tim Timmons , Suzie Lind , Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon...

This week, we studied Jesus' arrest and trial before Pilate. Through every detail, Mike Erre showed us how Jesus perfectly represented the character of God. NOW listeners are asking why God sometimes doesn't sound very Jesus-y. Kevin Dixon , Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons add their voices to the conversation. - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join the conversation by texti...

On Sunday, Kevin Dixon taught us about the holy spirit . Now, our own trinity of Kevin, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre are answering listener questions on being guided by the spirit. - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join the conversation by texting us at +1 615 861 9503.

On Sunday, Mike Erre brought his v-shaped sheets? charts? sharts? to explain the foot washing at the last supper. NOW, Tim Timmons, Kassedy Knight, Nate Erre and Seth Erre join the conversation to help remove feet from mouths and explore how Jesus’ act of service for his disciple tells the story of his whole ministry in miniature. But first: We’re playing a game of “First job, worst job.” - - - -...

On Sunday, Kevin taught us to see Jesus for who he really is, not just the points we’re looking for or want him to be.  Mike Erre , Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons are also around to circle back with Kevin and connect the dots. But first, we’re coming in hot with some spot analysis and shoutouts to NOW's circle of friends. It goes ‘round in circles but content starts at 20:23 on the dot. - - - - -...

It's a big week with the premiere of " I Can Only Imagine 2 ," a film that tells the story of NOW's own Tim Timmons . Which has us wondering.... If they made movies about the rest of the NOW gang, who would play the roles of Mike Erre , Kevin Dixon , Suzie Lind and Edwin Rivera III ? Then, we respond to questions about Suzie's Sunday teaching on Jesus at the Feast of the Tabe...

We begin where so many good journeys do: with questions from the community on  Sunday’s teaching about John 6 . Hosts  Mike Erre ,  Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind  and  Tim Timmons  remind us that true belief is not a mere mental assent but an embodied participation in the restoration of humanity. Then producer  Edwin Rivera III  shows us what that looks like in action by breaking down a few sonic &...

After listening to our re-think of John ( New Order, “He Had To Go To Samaria” ) a texter asks why Journey’s teaching varies so much from the traditional narratives and interpretations they have heard. Are the pastors just making this stuff up? Shockingly, that turns out not to the be case. And, Mike Erre , Kevin Dixon , Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind are here to share the receipts on their sources. ...

This week's NOW crew-- Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon, Rob Gonzalez, Mike Erre and special guest Seth Erre --comes in from the cold to relive the big chill that was Winter Storm Fern. Then, it's a different kind of ice storm as the group considers the proper response of the church amid events like Minnesota's recent shootings. - - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team? Join the conversation b...

Jesus turned water into wine; this week's NOW panel turns wine into blather. Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon are joined by very special guests Randy "Randyana Jones" Hanson and super producer Edwin "Irwin" Rivera III. As we continue to study John, the group responds to questions about two signs that are tied together symbolically—the wedding banquet wine and Jesus' confrontat...

New year, NEW ORDER! That’s the name of our new study in the book of John. Special guest “El Guapo” joins regulars Suzie Lind , Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre to relive 80s electronic pop and answer questions from the Journey community. TIMESTAMPS 00:49 Blue Tuesday: Are we recording this? 05:30 Touched By The Voice of God : (Or at least, Joel Osteen). 11:58 True Faith : John content begins. 15:42 Word...
