I co-lead a church. I have a platform to preach. But not everything that's going through my head is Sunday-Ready. So what are you supposed to do with that kind of stuff? I'd love to write it all down, but I'm not there yet and frankly I haven't got the time or patience to pull that off.
More on staying present. How to jumpstart your meditation and learning to set aside 15 mins
Starting to chat about staying present. How do you even begin? What does it even mean to be present?
Changing up my daily routine is one of the ways I've started to combat the anxiety of the unknown. Orientation around thanksgiving is critical to the alignment of my day.
COVID-19 and the impact on the believer. What does the book of Mark say about suffering and how can we use the pandemics of the the 2nd and 3rd centuries to give us guideposts for our next best practices.
Another challenging conversation, this time with a family member, about our church community and how we've failed to be an actual community to newer members. What do we need to do as a body of believers to help assimilate people into our community?
A chance conversation last summer on the beach leads to a transformative thought about theology and compromise. How are we supposed to do life and what does it mean to be a community?
Theologically evolving. Only dead thing are static. All living things change and change is evolution. As we're working through some of our thoughts on God, how does that impact our theology? Does it change? How? I give you three simple ideas to start expanding your thinking.
Stubborn Apologetic Sometimes we get in our own way with our stubborn, strong willing and unflinching defense of our faith. This is my take on why we may need to examine how we need to be more subtle.
This is the kick off podcast to Cardinal Truth Season 2 Here's what's happening: Podcast changes 1. Longer, slightly more in depth content 2. For the YouTube there will be no real video Content This episode is named, Why Cardinal Truth. I realized that I went a whole season pontificating about topics and never told you why it's what it is. So, here's the answer
Wrapping up the first season. A few of the things I learned, a few thank yous, and some of the new ideas for season two (Launching in the fall of 2019)
What do we do when the little prayers get answered and the big ones don't? What happens if the things that we're truly going after, fervently seeking answers too, never get answered? Part of this is a mindset shift and how we have to approach answered and unanswered prayers.
What does it look like to take responsibility for your own spiritual nutrition? We're the only person accountable for our growth. Can we find ways that are easy adds to our lives so that we aren't governed by guilt or obligation but love for the King?
How do we learn to be vulnerable? What does it mean to press forward? If I embrace my emotions, or even start to work on them, doesn't that make me weak? Here's my journey through that 'weakness' and my running towards health.
Definition time, what do these terms (prophesy, word of knowledge) mean and what should I do with a when I am the recipient of a 'word'?
In the pursuit of our destiny did we forget to do that thing we were originally asked to do? We're called to look like Christ. How are you doing with that task?
Pray without ceasing is a rule that feels misquoted all the time. What does this mean? How do we practically do something all the time while still being present in our day to day lives? Maybe it is just a slightly slanted translation that we need a fresh perspective to engage with.
When your spirit has a check and you don't know why. I've noticed that when there is a level of agitation within my spirit, I have already made a decision in my heart that my head hasn't quite caught up to yet...
Around our church, GCC, we often talk about community and family. We go as far as to talk about family first, but my question is which family is that? Your biological one or your church one and how do you choose between them?
There are different styles of teaching, which do you prefer? Do you enjoy a more of an anecdotal type of preaching with stories and life applications OR do you long for the more revelatory type that may be slightly difficult to fully grasp but the truth embedded in them resonates deeply?
Sonship is one of those words that gets tossed around but what does it mean? This is a conversation that deals with the idea of moving from being a child in the faith to being a parent within the context of Christian maturity.
Let's chat about having a Jesus lens. In order to carry the presence we must shift the way we see things. We have to shift from being consumers with good Christianese to being a people consumed by the constant infusion of Christ in our lives
There is a difference between consumers and those that are being consumed. Our job is to consistently be ablaze with the radical love of Jesus. How do we stay hungry for the presence of God in the middle of life?
