Conversations with Freaky Christians

Sermon from 7.11.2021 at the Connection Ministry in ATX

A look at 2 very different perspectives on the line in Jesus's classic prayer: "give us this day our daily bread." It's better with slides. You can download them under the speaker tab at www.adamribbeck.com

This episode gives you a behind-the-scenes look at a new book that has just been published. No conflict of interest here, just move on. You'll have to listen to the first 5 mins to get that joke. Head over to freakychristians.com to get info on the Andrew Osenga songs used.

Josh Kellar is a father of 3 and a husband of an amazing Krista! He is a Licensed Therapist in Belton, TX and a former Children's and Family Minister. He's got some great insight into what therapy can offer people trying to follow Jesus.

This is part 2 of our conversation back in the summer. This is a conversation focused on race relations in the American Church.

This was a joy to record, it was a free-flowing conversation between Paul, Nydia, Marcela (yes, that Marcela!) and myself that covered marriage, missions, parenting, and a little bit of everything else we have in common. I hope you enjoy. Head over to freakychristians.com to see a photo of P&J and get links to Andrew Osenga's songs in this episode.

My Installment in the "Lessons from the Wilderness" Series. A message offered at The Refuge on September 25, 2017

This is the first hour(ish) of an extended conversation with the Pastor of South Side City Church in Fort Worth. But don't let that intro fool you, he's whole different kind of pastor. All the song selections from Andrew Osenga's vault (Let Us Know You, After the Last Tear Falls, hoping for peace praying for pardon, & White Dove)were inspired by the convo, or dedicated to Darryl. You can see a picture of him, and get links to the songs for download over at www.freakychristians.com

This couple made the mistake of staying in my home for a couple of days... little did they know they'd be on the podcast! I wish I could share their names and faces with you, but that might put them, their children or the people they'll be serving in danger. So it's best they keep a low profile on the internet. If you'd like to contact them, I can get you in touch. As always the beautiful tunes this month were generously provided by Andrew Osenga and After Lake. You can find links to where you can download these songs over at www.freakychristians.com

This recording really touched my heart. Maybe it was the soul searching, maybe it's the dangerous weeks ahead. I'm not sure... I just kept finding myself saying "wow." It kept challenging me all throughout the editing process (and I'm not just referring to the technical challenges due to Skype). I know it will bless your walk with God. Music provided by Andrew Osenga ("Heart") and After Lake ("Walking Home","A Lovely Inlet")
