Sweet Jesus

Join me and Scott as we dig into Jesus' parables. Why did Jesus speak in parables? What do they mean? We aren't too sure about many things, but we gave it a shot. Hope you enjoy!

Join us as Scott and I talk about whether Jesus laughed or not. Inspired by a Jonathan Pageau YouTube video where he tries to answer a question from his audience, we felt we needed to add our 2 cents! :)

We're trying to figure out what we talk about next. We jump ALL over the place. We had fun and we hope you do too!

Join me and Scott as we think through the date we celebrate Christmas, Santa Claus and more random thoughts about the upcoming holiday.

Bruce and I continue our trek through the book of Acts, examining the way God uses his people for his primary purpose - mission! The Holy Spirit arrives on the scene in Acts 2, and he makes all the difference!

Join me and Mark for another fun conversation. We talk A.I., conflict in the Church, anger, authority, telling the truth, and explore some of the controversies regarding the two natures in Christ. Come along for the ride! PS - we got started later than planned and had to have a bit of an abrupt ending. But that just means PLENTY to talk about NEXT time! :)

Well, we finally made it to Rule 12! Join me and Scott as we explore what crucial life lessons are contained in this rather odd named rule. It may be just in time to help you more fully celebrate turkey day!

Join me and Scott as we go through Rule 11 from Jordan Peterson's book, "12 Rules for Life."

Join me as I sit down with Allana Chris as she shares the anti-human trafficking work of The Little Tree Project.

Join me and Scott as we go over Rule 10 from Jordan Peterson's "12 Rules for Life - An Antidote to Chaos."

Join me and my friend and co-author, Bruce Jaeger, as we talk about Acts 1:1-8 and the role all Christians are called to as witnesses of Jesus Christ.

"Assume the person you are listening to might know something you don't." - Jordan Peterson Join me and Scott as we talk about the importance of listening.

What do college papers, saying no to a drunk, and totalitarianism have in common? Join us and find out!

There was SO much to go over in Rule 7 that we felt we needed to come back and do another podcast looking at the problems of Christianity. Join us!

Join me and Scott as we look at Rule 7 of Jordan Peterson's book, "12 Rules for Life." Life is full of suffering, but what's the answer for living in a world like this? Tune in and find out!

I've heard a lot of concern about the idea that people are "sinners" or the people, young and old, are "evil." I've wanted to lay out a few Bible passages. But some other connections have come up over the past few days and I wanted to dig into God's call to serve and love the poor.

"Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world." That's what Jordan Peterson advocates in Rule 6. Scott and I are digging into the idea and seeing how it jives with Scripture. Join us!

Just like many other churches, our congregation is dealing with a bit of a fiscal crisis. So, a great time to do another "Throwback Thursday with a Twist" where we think about how God has helped us in the past to give us the hope and strength we need to trust him for the present and future.

Join us as we talk about Rule 5, "Do not let your children do anything that makes you dislike them." It's a tough topic with some harsh realities, but an important and timely one. Tune in and join us. Get the book too! WAY more in the chapter.

Join me and Scott as we discuss Rule 4 in Jordan Peterson's book, "12 Rules for Life." "Compare yourself to who you were yesterday, not to who someone else is today."

Pastor Brock Cain and I discuss the last portion of the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed and "the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." We talk a lot about death, grief, the true hope of the Christian, as well as just how much God loves our bodies and how we should too.

Join us as we talk about Rule 3, "Make friends with people who want the best for you."

Brock really wanted to clarify some things on forgiveness so we dove right in! Join us as we discuss what forgiveness is - and isn't!

Join me and Scott as we sit down to discuss Rule 2 from Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life: Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping. We end up taking a lot of detours but found it to be a fun conversation revolving around this helpful, even CRUCIAL idea.

Join me as I reflect on a funeral for one of our CDC students and the attempted assassination of former President Trump. Also, check out a podcast I created a few years ago that includes a sermon from a funeral for an infant I did 4 years ago. It's episode 2 so you have to scroll back a ways. I will try to include the link below. I hope it helps if you are wrestling with the biggest question w...
