On Sunday, we continued studying Jeremiah's warnings to the Israelites , spotlighting how they began to image other gods instead of Yahweh. As Mike Erre put it, we become like what we worship. Not that there's anything relevant these days in that idea, but our community had lots of questions about idols, disagreement, forgiveness and reconciliation. So, Tim Timmons , Kevin Dixon and Suzie...

In  this week’s Jeremiah study , we learned how the Israelites thought they were safe from judgement because of the temple in their midst. That got listeners asking about group vs individual responsibility, warnings for our own arrogant times and more. Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Mike Erre respond. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Intro 01:05 Chipper J 04:55 Brad Erre Shout Out 05:29 Collecting Recei...

What if a Bible study and a comedy show had a baby? Between bidet jokes and dog stories, the crew dives deep into Jeremiah’s message—what it means to stay faithful when everyone else seems to be missing the point. They unpack why following Jesus isn’t about saving a nation but living out love wherever you are. Turns out, being God’s people has less to do with borders and more to do with kindness,...

Turn on our pod, relax and float downstream. Suzie Lind , Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre are talking about prophets—and the harm caused by false prophets. Is prophecy about more than the future?

Those left behind— Tim Timmons ,  Kevin Dixon  and  Mike Erre —are asking what it means to live as an exile in a foreign land. What did that mean for the Israelites, and how can we apply their experience in our own lives. Also: Mike is disappointed with his eternal bod...

Is it true or just a rumor? Journey NOW editor Grant Opperman joins Tim Timmons , Suzie Lind Mike Erre to explain why the podcast went suspiciously missing last week. Together, they also unpack the differences between how Jesus called people to repentance through love versus how the pharisees did it (hint: not through love). But first, get your tinfoil hat, get away from any electromagnetic energy...

We're learning about Jesus' orgé anger, a settled opposition that contrasts with the thumos "flying off the handle" emotion we so often feel. Layla Shahmohammedi joins Kevin Dixon , Mike Erre , and Tim Timmons to explore what orgé passion and action looks like in the context of current divisive topics like immigration and abortion. TIMESTAMPS 1:00 Angry, old men shake their fists at the HOA, the w...

What are the limits of personal freedom in a community of Christ followers? Should we voluntarily restrict ourselves when there's a chance our behavior might offend others? And, how do we even know what's offensive when we all have different ideas of what's right and wrong? Sunday question-asker (also regular worship leader and Journey staffer) Layla Shahmohammedi joins NOW regulars Tim Timmons ,...
