Pastors Pregame

Lisa welcomes Chrissie Jones and Lu Mackey to the podcast to help us reflect on what it means to be a mom. We talk about our personal connection to the Old Testament figure, Hannah, and what we can learn from her about prayer. You don't have to be a mom to get something out of our conversation.

Bruce, Lisa, and Jaime talk about what is probably the most challenging passages in James. When James says, "Woe to you rich people," is he talking to us?

Bruce and Lisa continue our discussion of James. In chapter 4 James asks, "What causes fights and quarrels among you?" and in this episode, we discuss his answer.

Jaime and Lisa are joined by a special guest, Jon Ewton, to discuss God's wisdom as explained by James, chapter 3. We talk about how very different it looks from what most people think about being wise.

What does the book of James say is like a spark that can burn a whole forest? Or a rudder that can steer an entire ship? Our tongues. In this episode, Lisa and Bruce discuss James 3:1-12 and how we can be more careful with our words.

It's Easter week! Bruce, Jamie, and Lisa talk about Jesus' post-resurrection appearance on the Emmaus road and share their personal Holy Week reflections.

It's the Christmas season, and we're focusing on the opening verses of the Gospel of John where he describes Jesus as the light of the world.

The Christmas season is here, and we are discussing the opening of John's Gospel for the next several weeks. In this episode, we talked about how Jesus is the light and the life and how like John the Baptist, we can be the witness to the light.
