Podcasts about after jonathan

Part two from yesterday. Leaders initiate. Many times God asks His people to move first. If we fail to trust God, it makes sense to stay safe. But when we trust God, He challenges us to take risks. After Jonathan kills 20 men, there is an earthquake. God jumps in and creates panic among the enemy. One person acted based on trust in God. God showed up in response. What is God asking you to do at work today? Where is He asking you to make the first move? Do it. You won't regret it. Don't forget about our upcoming Marketplace Mission Trip! Listen to the end of all episodes this week to learn how to join and become a minister at your work. Thank you for being a Follower of One!

On this episode of the Born to Be podcast, Pastor Daron interviews author and speaker Jonathan Merritt, who answers the question “Does it matter that only 7% of Americans who identify as Christians have a spiritual conversation on a weekly basis?” And his answer is yes. It matters because the words we use and the things we talk and think about actually shape our culture! Jonathan talks about why we can't seem to have a smooth and “regular” conversation about faith and helps us understand what we can do about it!   As you're learning to talk about God, think about replacing the period with a question mark. It takes some of the pressure off of perfection in the conversation, and helps you engage with others in a way that's relatable!   You'll love this interview with Jonathan! About Learning to Speak God From Scratch   As America rapidly becomes a pluralistic, postmodern society, many of us struggle to talk about faith. We can no longer assume our friends understand words such as grace or gospel. Others, like lost and sin, have become so negative they are nearly conversation-enders.   Jonathan Merritt knows this frustration well. After Jonathan moved from the Bible Belt to New York City, he discovered that whenever conversations turned to spirituality, the words he'd used for decades didn't  connect with listeners anymore. In a search for answers and understanding, Jonathan uncovered a spiritual crisis affecting tens of millions.   In this groundbreaking book, one of America's premier religion writers revives ancient expressions through cultural commentary, vulnerable personal narratives, and surprising biblical insights. Both provocative and liberating, Learning to Speak God from Scratch will breathe new life into your spiritual conversations and lure you into the embrace of the God who inhabits them.
