Rick Fry in Real Time

If the call to ministry becomes what identifies us, we can set ourselves up for burnout.

Our discussion revolves around having time expectations about the work God has called us to.

In the first episode, Rick and Jeremy talk about hearing a call to ministry and how sometimes outside influences can  shape what we think we are being called to.

I learned at an early age how to pretend. It seemed like there was always something to hide from. The hiding places somehow felt safe even though they weren’t real.

What kind of men did Jesus call to be His twelve disciples? Was John the Baptist the second Elijah? What did Jesus say about the Baptizer? And here’s the good news about “The Lord’s Prayer.” 

Men - I should say people - spend their lives working for the single purpose of providing what they need and for what a family needs. Most of us, usually without notice, follow a calling. A career can last forty to sixty years, that’s a lot of time identifying with what you do. This podcast is focused on who you are and not what you do. Rick and author Dave Burchett discuss the problem of losing p...

Episode 3 – Steve talks about how we have to guard against the temptation to make Christianity “all about you.”

Episode 2- Steve explains what the flesh is and how it can affect us.

Episode 1- Rick and Steve talk about how Adam lived out of God’s true nature and was completely reliant on Him.

Episode 2: Dan starts off by explaining the difference between redemption and forgiveness and talks about how you can get “closer to God.”

Episode 1: Dan answers the question “Is God disappointed with you?”

Dan talks how much “The Chosen” has impacted his life, and how the entire series is so well done.

Episode 2: The importance of a “radical call to grace” and how Gospel Zero serves as a bridge connecting the timeless truth of the gospel from the birth of the church to today.  

Episode 1: Gospel Zero is a collaborative work by Andrew Farley and John Lynch.  The creative genius of these two writers has given us an interpretive glimpse of what modern day letters apostles might write to today’s church. Does God’s grace need to be balanced? Is there a place for “spiritual disciplines?” 

Episode 3: Rick and Steve establish that the rhema word of God is not only the bible, but also the words He speaks to us individually. John 3:33-34:  He who has received His testimony has set his seal to this, that God is true. For He whom God has sent speaks the Words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

Episode 2: In the beginning was the Word (John 1:1) and this Word was fully God and Jesus existed in the beginning. It is true that this Word is Christ but at the same time God’s words were the Bible. Rick and Steve talk about the difference and the sameness of His Word.

Episode 1: Rick And Steve discuss the meaning of the words “logos” and “rhema” as they relate to the words of God.

Episode 3: Our discussion flows into Revelation 3:20 “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me.” Is that verse is taken out of context to get people to believe in Christ?

Episode 2: Steve and Rick discuss the plausibility of the back stories, and what Steve wished they had done differently.

Episode 1: Rick and Steve begin a discussion on how the TV Show  The Chosen  has impacted Steve’s life. How does the quality compare to other Christian productions?

Part 3: In this audio only episode Rick and Tony go over how patriarchy shuts down half the population, and adds to the difficulty of finding solutions to distractions because half the voices are not heard.

Part 2: In this episode Rick and Tony talk about how to find balance in our lives, family and with God in the distractions that came at us from all sides.

Part 1: Rick and Tony discuss some of the major distractions we experience in our lives.

Episode 3: Rick and Joel talk about the difference between being passionate or dogmatic about the message of Grace.

Episode 2: Rick and Joel discuss how when Christians are presented with this message of Grace, do they identify with a belief system more than a truth?
