Becoming Church

Did you feel dragged into 2023? Does your faith feel like it’s wavering? Do you feel like your world is constantly being shaken up? In this episode, Tabitha will help you see that your identity in Christ is not based on what you have experienced. As a Christ-centered trauma therapist, Tabitha Panariso will help you move from “What’s wrong with me?” to “What happened to me?” She will help you understand what you can control and how to cope with what you can’t. Kristin and Tabitha also talk about the tension of being a “broken sinner” and someone who lives in “the wholeness of Christ” and how it’s tricky - yet possible - to do both. ———— SCRIPTURE TO EXPLORE: Psalm 23:6 ———— LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Goodness of God Robin Arzon (Kristin’s Peloton Pastor) Keep Going on YouVersion The Honest Guide (Tabitha’s Substack) Therapy Information ———— HANG OUT WITH US: Tabitha on IG: @tabithapanariso Kristin on IG: @kristinmockleryoung Kristin on FB: @turningthegem Kristin on TikTok: @kristinmockleryoung Mosaic Church on IG: @MosaicCLT Mosaic Church on FB: @MosaicChurch Mosaic Church on TikTok: @MosaicChurchCLT #becomingchurchpodcast

We’re taking a field trip outside of the church to enter scientology, a wiccan coven or maybe even a cult.

If you're asking questions like “Why is there evil in the world? Why do I need a savior from sin? What happened on the cross? Why does the resurrection even matter? How do I walk by the spirit? What’s the church supposed to look like?” then this episode is for you. Phylicia Masonheimer wrote a book on all these topics for real people. It’s more than a devotional but it’s not an academic tradebook, either. If you feel intimidated by theology but want to know more about who God is, Phylicia presents multiple perspectives to help you deeply understand what you believe - and why. ———— SCRIPTURE TO EXPLORE: 1 John 4:16 Luke 10:27John 14:16 John 16:7 John 15:5James 1:19 ———— LINKS FROM THIS EPISODE: Purchase Every Woman a Theologian Phylicia Masonheimer’s website ———— HANG OUT WITH US: Phylicia on IG: @PhyliciaMasonheimerPhylicia on FB: @PhyliciaMasonheimer Kristin on IG: @kristinmockleryoung Kristin on FB: @turningthegem Kristin on TikTok: @kristinmockleryoung Mosaic Church on IG: @MosaicCLTMosaic Church on FB: @MosaicChurchMosaic Church on TikTok: @MosaicChurchCLT #becomingchurchpodcast

“Does God love boys more than girls?” This was the question that got it all started and sent Mariko Clark on a mission to create a more inclusive children’s story Bible. The Book of Belonging - which is still being written! - doesn’t change the Bible but it does contain more female-centric stories, a brown Jesus and representation of people with all range of skin tones, ability, body shape and size. Written with mystery, wonder and mindfulness, The Book of Belonging leans less on morality lessons and more on helping kids understand their identity in Christ. This episode is for any and everyone whose life includes a child they love so share this with parents, grandparents, educators, kids’ ministry volunteers and pastors!
