A husband and wife tell stories of their life as parents of 3 kids, pastors of a church in Richmond, VA, and as endlessly curious students of Jesus. Each episode involves Megan and Drew talking their way through the message that they plan to share with their faith community this week.
Working through an actual sermon this week. Just like old times!
But it is an excellent "go to" for learning important lessons about life and the world and history and whatever else...
Stories of neighbors and of ancient Jewish leaders.
Sometimes we have to let some old things go in order to pick up new things that could actually help us in our faith.
The title of this one really says it all. Aren't those the same thing? Well, no. Not even close.
After a few months of radio silence, we're back and ready to jump into so fun (and hopefully helpful) conversations about WHAT THE BIBLE ACTUALLY IS and what we could actually be doing with that relic of history sitting on your coffee table with your name engraved on it.
We've talked about HELL... Now let's talk about some GOOD NEWS.
Just in case you thought we didn't believe in HELL anymore...
What would Jesus do? Burn his enemies forever in hell?
Let's look at what all the Bible has to say about HELL...
Using HELL as a threat to “convert” people to faith in Jesus for salvation is an incredibly problematic sales tactic. And it might just be irreconcilable with Jesus.
Well we finally did it. We finally admitted what most people have suspected about us all along. We don't think there's an eternal volcano where most humans get tortured by God for all of eternity.
Part two of Megan and Drew's conversation of what is NEXT for Risen Church...
But this is what Megan and Drew NEEDED to talk about this week:).
Much like when peanut butter meets chocolate, when the people of Jesus do what he's taught and commissioned us to do we experience and create HEAVEN ON EARTH.
As we continue our series of talks on THE Lord's Prayer, it is going to be difficult to NOT have a pretty deep theology lesson so... here it is. But we think it was still pretty fun!
Keeping the name of Jesus HOLY is about paying attention to the things we call Christian that have nothing to do with CHRIST.
In this episode, Drew and Megan reflect on last week's discussion and plan for this week's...
Maybe, your God does, that is. If you consider yourself to be a Christian and your God doesn't look or sound like Jesus, that is.
Let's talk prayer and sports injuries and ice storms and eventually the waves of the ocean...
Drew can't seem to make up his mind about how God wants us to pray. And Jacob makes Megan cry.
Let us pray...but for real though...not that stuff we've been stuck saying since we were kids... Check out most recent message videos at RisenChurch.us/Message Join us every Sunday online live at 10AM at RisenOnline.us
Declaring that Jesus is Lord means DECLARING Jesus is Lord...
In this episode Megan and Drew try to figure out how the whole thing comes to an end...or a beginning... or a process... or a WHO KNOWS!
Megan and Drew discuss how some of the events of 2021 thus far have shined a light on what the Church Of The Risen Jesus needs more than anything.
Hope you enjoy this special Christmas edition.
Light doesn't have to deny that darkness exists - it just has to walk into the room and BE LIGHT.
We're a little concerned that if you can't find the good in 2020 then you may struggle to find the good in 2021 as well! So let's talk about our perspective a bit...
Another installment of our James 1 series of talks...
I mean, if you can think of ANYTHING that is troubling at the moment...
Anger is a dangerous and tricky thing. In this episode we talk about how we may need to go a little easy on our overuse of it.
In this episode Drew and Megan talk about really big stuff like race issues in American and really small stuff like Drew's injured ankle AND really controversial stuff like Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Apple Picking. Thanks for listening! Please let us know you're here by reviewing our channel!
Today Megan and Drew start out talking about the fun little message that Drew was planning to share this week and then IT GET'S REAL!
On today's episode Megan and Drew talk about their schedules, their eating habits, their strategies for staying focused, and how NOT TO COOK soft pretzels.
As they're about to start into a brand new season of things in their church community, Megan and Drew sit down to talk through the first message Drew plans to share with the church. Everyone these days is BUSY, BORED, BOTHERED, or more likely some combination of all 3!
