Still Growing In Grace

200 episodes and the theme that most resonates with my heart is ‘The Love Of God’.  Special Guest Catherine Toon joins me in a conversation about why it is so important to ‘know God’ as the essence of Love (Agape).  Everything we believe, say, and do is a reflection of what we believe about who God is and what we believe about who ‘we are’.  Enjoy this milestone conversation!!   Watch Today’s Epis...

Do we even know what ‘dualism’ is?  How can we possibly ‘upgrade’ our dualism perspective?  I have a strong hunch we have a LOT to still learn about a ‘more hope-filled’ perspective on who we think “God” is and how ‘God’ relates to us.  Enjoy this timely conversation!!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/Be8NzHmVT5I   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/...

What can we learn from 2023 as we begin a new year?  The topics and discussions are not going to get less important and we will likely face more difficult ones as we move forward.  What are some wise ways to navigate some of those really difficult and sometimes polarizing discussions we will find ourselves in?  Enjoy this needed conversation.   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/aBu...

Today we are joined by two new friends Randy Elstrott and Fred Young.  I’m so thrilled to keep finding more and more folks who are growing in Grace and discovering a ‘more hope-filled perspective’ on the goodness of God.  I think you will love this converstion!!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/XmOCSucRWPE   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/sho...

Our understanding of ‘who’ God is, and our understanding of how deep the love of the Trinity is for you, for me, will have a direct connection to ‘how we read and understand’ the Scriptures.  When difficult topics arise from how we read certain texts, they must be understood or studied through the lens of God’s love, not cultural theology.  Enjoy!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.b...

How does ‘contemplation’, and ‘prayer’ fit into the experience and journey of discovering the goodness of God?  Today’s conversation will expand your understanding and maybe even give you some freedom to explore it instead of ‘throwing it out’.

We just don’t stop growing.  How can we know we are actually growing in grace??  This conversation is so good as we dive into what is ‘love’, ‘what about the old testament wrath of God’, how can we understand ‘judging better’?    Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/16BhyQYqFVI   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     LINK TO...

Today’s program is from a ‘live’ interview I participated in last night.  Sheri Pallas hosts a weekly program called “Fireside Creators” and has a host of guests on a variety of topics.  This particular conversation was on ‘Why forgiveness is Important’, Anna Garcia also joined in the conversation.  The topic of forgiveness is a huge one, it is very much like a wheel with many spokes that crisscro...

A 'teaser-trailer' of highlights that introduces key themes from the extended teaching series by Dr. Bruce Wauchope on "THE GOSPEL & SOUL HEALING".

What Is The Gospel?  You ‘might’ be surprised to discover it means more than you thought, and that  you may have been told only a small portion or a manipulated perspective.  What if it is more and better than what you have been told?  This conversation may encourage you to explore more by way of a new series Bruch Wauchope taught (and recorded by Michael Lafleur) that will take you deep SUPER FAS...

The topic of ‘divorce’ has been a contentious one in many church circles.  Some say there is no room for divorce because ‘the bible plainly says so.’  Others have taken a much deeper look, investigating language translations, cultural context, Jewish history etc…  Maybe there is a ‘more hope-filled’ perspective on this topic?  Enjoy this meaningful conversation as we explore what Matthew 5 could m...

Unlearning (deconstruction) can be painful and beautiful at the same time.  Sometimes the voices of those unlearning reveal more about themselves than what they are unlearning.  There is HOPE!!  Michael Hardin joins Richard Murray and myself as we discuss the ups and downs of ‘deconstruction/unlearning’ and offer a more hope-filled perspective that will encourage anyone who hears this important co...

Have you ever had a sense that something is true but you are not sure?  Something you can verify or prove, but ‘somehow’ deep down you know there is ‘something true’ about what has just been said or something you’ve read??  Some use the word ‘intuition’ to describe this ‘thing’.  Enjoy this discussion with Richard Murray and I as we explore what it could mean and how to embrace it!!   Watch Today’...

Have you ever ‘really’ thought through this idea of Jesus paying our debt??  He paid for our sin??  What does that actually mean??  I grew up being taught that Jesus paid off his father so his father would not be so angry anymore. What if there is a better or more ‘hope-filled’ perspective on this topic??  Listen in and see what you think!  Enjoy!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu....

It is a rare thing to meet someone and find an ‘instant kinship’ with them.  Something inside tells you ‘these guys are folks I REALLY want to get to know better’.  Derek Turner and Jason Clark are like that, really really amazing guys I am looking forward to get to know better.  Today’s program is actually THEIR program that they aired recently.  I had the honour of being a guest on their podcast...

As a Canadian, I’m thrilled every time I meet or hear of another fellow Canadian who is on a journey of unlearning and growing deeper in Grace.  Judy Bergmann is one of these dear saints I’ve gotten to know and I think you will really enjoy her story and maybe even resonate with parts of it!!  Enjoy!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/OcmWpmRKHQY     Or listen to the audio podcast...

We are told we must ‘love one another’ but what if we disagree with choices people make, or hurtful things are done intentionally?  We can make a huge list of ‘exceptions’ on why we don’t necessarily need to ‘love’ a certain person, lifestyle, political leanings, behaviours, etc.   This conversation digs into what kind of a ‘mindset’ will help us authentically love one another.  Enjoy   Watch Toda...

Have you ever really thought about ‘what is the Gospel’?  What does that word mean anyway?  What about the ‘real’ gospel, or the ‘full’ gospel?  A number of years ago, I watched a number of illustrations called ‘The Gospel In Chairs’ and thought I would try sharing it myself.  I also included the “The Trinity In Chairs”.  Enjoy these two visual presentations!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube ht...

I really miss my ol’ friend Paul.  Paul is experiencing Jesus in a way that we all only wish for.  This is one of my first interviews with him and hearing ‘how he came to experience Jesus’ was so encouraging!  If you are wondering if Jesus is still getting people’s attention, this will be a VERY encouraging conversation.  ENJOY!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/cDZbCnHe-8g   Or...

If you have questioned your faith in the past and discovered a fresh or new to you’ perspective, it is possible you may have forgotten some of those ‘aha’ moments.  It is so valuable to remember those monumental shifts and growth spirts because you may very well be able to encourage someone else also facing such questions and shifts.  Enjoy this fun discussion on some of the good news we may have...

What about experiencing joy on the journey?  On the journey of Spiritual discoveries, we can get bogged down with too many details and forget that the joy that resides within us is meant to be experienced daily!  This conversation with Richard Murray, Bill Thrasher and Mike Zenker is a well timed reminder.  ENJOY   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/8YfZcbQd7V8   Or listen to the au...

PART 2 – Is ‘deconstruction something to run from, or is it worth exploring.  I know of many folks on the ‘deconstruction of faith’ journey and I know many that are warning against it.  Those that ‘are’ on a journey have experienced some amazing revelations, while others have been thrown into a tailspin of despair and doubt.  Today’s episode (and the next) will attempt to help make sense of what d...

PART 2 - The Late Paul Gray shares a passionate perspective on the topic of ‘forgiveness.  Paul was one of the most amazing souls that shared the love of God in the most gentle and profound way.   This particular interview was shared a few years ago as a lead up to a conference called ‘Understanding Forgiveness’.  There is so much to learn and unlearn on this topic, may this conversation encourage...
