Podcast appearances and mentions of chris nye

Pastor and writer Chris Nye invites us to consider what a full and abundant life looks like apart from money, status, and power. He exposes the lies inherent in our obsession with growth, fame, and wealth, and calls us to a countercultural life marked by connection, obscurity, vulnerability, and generosity. He shares from his book, "Less is More: Pursuing Spiritual Abundance in a World of Never Enough.” Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support. Give now: click here

Jesus says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” How is this exclusive claim of Lordship a good thing for the world? How might it be good news for us? Strangely, by limiting ourselves to Jesus we receive the greatest human freedom possible.

The Psalms are a unique book as they are both God's word to us and our words to God. Called “the prayer book of the Bible,” the church has always looked to the Psalter to guide its life in worship and prayer. Additionally, Christians have used Psalms to reflect and to meditate on the goodness of God and his promises. Join us as we spend a whole summer reading and praying through the book of Psalms.

For all the things the New Testament emphasizes, it is nearly impossible to overlook its repeated, intense warnings around false teaching and distorted doctrine. Across the entire canon of Scripture, there is simply no way around God's deep concern for his peoples' minds and hearts to be shaped only by what he has told them–nothing more and nothing less. How might we embrace the same passion for orthodoxy while maintaining charity and love?

The Bible is often misused and weaponized. But we are told God's word will shape us into the image of Jesus. How and why can we trust God's word when it says difficult, confusing, and sometimes abhorrent things?

The term gospel means “good news,” and the message of salvation found in the Bible is likened to treasure, honey, and a reward. Many see Scripture as limiting to our freedom and even evil. How do we know God's word is as good as He says it is?

Our world is increasingly illiterate. During a time of distraction and digital forms of formation, we commit to allowing the word to dwell in us. But what is the “word” and why is it essential for it to dwell in us?

The early church grew almost entirely off of the preaching of individual believers. Today, a sermon is a polished, 40 minute talk given by an educated professional member of the clergy. In the New Testament, it was a bold declaration by all kinds of common Christians that Christ was the risen Lord. To “proselytize” or preach in order to convert someone is looked down upon in today's world. But what does a commitment to sharing the good news of Jesus look like for us in Portland? The word “witness” helps us see that the gospel goes forward through preaching and actual lived demonstration of God's grace.

The book of Acts said of the church that they gave in such a manner that there “was no needy person among them.” When we consider this inside our modern capitalistic and individualistic society, it seems impossible. But what might God be asking us to grow in? The early church was marked by radical generosity, especially towards those in need. How might generosity become a defining feature of a local church?

What is necessary for great ministry to happen? We could list many things like prayer, discernment, courage, and community. But what about money? Every great work of God—in Scripture, in church history, and across the globe right now—has behind it “gospel patrons,” people who supply the financial resources necessary for the work of the gospel. Our world understands and is obsessed with consumeristic and capitalistic visions of investment. Christians have a larger vision for their possessions as they reject the worship of “mammon” (possessions) and embrace generosity.

In his famous passage on “the foolishness of the cross,” Paul says that the message of Jesus frustrates both Jew and Gentile. For the community deep inside the story of Scripture and the community outside of it, Jesus' cross was called “a stumbling block”—literally, “a scandal,” in the original Greek. What makes Jesus so scandalous to ideological and religious categories?

What does it mean to be seen by God? This Easter Sunday, we look at the way Jesus meets us in life and truly sees us. He is the living God who is present and seeking us out.

God's people are called “a royal priesthood, a holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus called his followers to a citizenship of the kingdom of heaven and the earliest church fathers gave their allegiance to Jesus before their country. What does it mean to be a nation of Jesus followers inside a nation like America? And how do we live as responsible and courageous citizens of both?

The New Testament assures us that the church is a dwelling place for God. We are likened to a “temple” and a “holy city”—places where God's presence permeates reality. But church often feels like a dwelling place for dysfunction. What role does God's presence have in our formation as a community? And how does it change how we commit to one another?

What does it mean to be the Body of Christ? In the New Testament, Paul employs this metaphor several times, but never in a way of striving—as if we have to “become” the Body. He, instead, simply tells us that this is what we are and we must care for the Body of Jesus the way we might care for our own body, so that we might be built up and strengthened—healthy and ready for action.

Lent is a time of repentance, of coming back to God through the acknowledgement of our humanity. Who are we before God and in his sight? For lent this year, we are repenting of the distorted images we carry of the church, the people of God, through an inspection of the biblical metaphors of us. Most of our visions of our community are distorted by our own history and lack any connection to the rich biblical images given to the people of God across Scripture. During Lent, we will lay down our distorted images of us and pick up God's images for his church.

Is God's community worth investing in? The church used to be a place where we received cultural and social benefits, a place where we “found our people” and grew in our relationship with our surrounding community. But as culture has rapidly secularized and been inundated with technology, we don't need the church for a good social life or even for spiritual content. The early followers of Jesus seemed to give the church their top priority, how did they do it and why? Strangely enough, the answers for why we should come back to church and give the church a priority in our life is not just found in the New Testament, but in a minor prophetic book called Haggai.

In a throwback to the early days, we have some bonus content for you! This is such good information, we had to keep recording! Chris Nye joins Dave and the Millionaire Math Teacher and he has been featured on the popular 403(b) Wise mini series titled "Learned By Being Burned" and has developed a passion for teaching his fellow teachers about the dangers of high fees and investment education.  Not only is Chris a teacher, he is also a financial planner who specializes in helping teachers.  Chris is living it in his own life AND professionally helping in the lives of others.

Haggai is a minor prophet whose book is just two chapters. But it is packed full of a massive question: do we prioritize what God prioritizes? Hidden in this book is a call for the people of God: “Consider your ways,” Haggai says, and think about all the effort you put into all you prioritize: is it fulfilling? So much of modern life involves experiences of losses that we disguise as gains. What would happen if we reoriented our priorities with what God puts first?

With the cultural rewards of church attendance gone, what reasons are left to be a part of a church? We no longer rely on the church to build community, receive Christian teaching, or even to serve worthy causes. So what's left? We are in need of fresh vision for God's mission and church. This Sunday, we will look at our mission and our vision as a church and consider why on earth anyone in Portland would ever go to church.

The wise men saw a star and went looking for God only to realize that the star was God looking for them. Meeting with Herod, they asked the whereabouts of the God incarnate, the king of the Jews, but none of their tactics worked. The strategy, might, and political power of Herod offered them nothing. Their own efforts to “seek God” only resulted in the great realization that God had sought after them. We do not find God through our own search for meaning. We find God when he reveals himself to us. Strangely, when we give up the search for God, we can finally see God has searched for us in Christ.

When David is made king, he makes his first move a simple but profound one: he moves the ark of the covenant back to the center of life for God's people. His willful action doesn't bring the presence of God, rather, it brings the peoples' attention to the fact that God is present. The season of Advent reminds us that no matter how dark, God is near. God's presumed absence is often an invitation to our attention: where are we looking? What is at the center of our life? Just as David brought the ark in to remind the people of God's commitment, what do we bring in to remind us of the same thing?

Simeon spent his whole life waiting for the Messiah to come. He spent his life alongside God's people in darkness. And then he saw the child Jesus. His prayer shows us a profound theological reality of what happens to darkness when God arrives upon its depths.

The final stanza of the Apostles' Creed is, “I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.” The early church paired its belief in the church with its belief in forgiveness and resurrection. How do these two things relate? How can thinking about forgiveness and resurrection help us be more firmly committed to Jesus' church?

“He will come to judge the living and the dead.” This is the final line about Jesus in the Apostles' Creed. We often think of judgment as a terrible aspect of God's nature and work, but Paul told the church in Thessalonica to “encourage one another” in issues around the second coming of Christ. How is God's judgment good news? And how can we encourage one another as we await his return?

This week, we look at the line, “And in Jesus Christ, His Only Son…He suffered…crucified…descended…rose again and ascended…” from the Apostles' Creed. Everyone today is trying to answer profound questions of life. Most often, we look to elite thinkers, culturally aware artists, and educated professionals to guide us. What does the Christian story have to offer to answer these deep questions about living? And why is the story of Jesus—an ancient rabbi and carpenter—still a story today that both explains history and transforms humanity? What happens when we confess Jesus as our Lord?

This week, we look at the line, “I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,” from the Apostles' Creed. What do we mean when we say we believe in God? Which God is this? The Apostles' Creed leads us to the one who laid the foundations of the earth, who precedes time and space. To be a Christian is to be one who acknowledges creatureliness. We are not our own; we are made. What are the implications of believing we were not only created, but created by the same God who created everything and everyone else? How might having a Maker bring meaning to our lives?

Text: 1 Timothy 6:20-21Preacher: Chris NyeDescription: “I believe” is the starting point of the Apostles' Creed. It is a declarative statement used to this day by all kinds of people for all kinds of things. In the Western world, we use “I believe” as a precursor for self identification, but in the ancient world, saying “I believe” was a way of identifying with others. Early Christians pledged allegiance to Jesus Christ as Lord, which caused them to both lose and gain a lot. How does our declaration of faith differ from anything else today and why does that matter?

A Captive Mind. Today, Mike and Tim chat with new friend Chris Nye about his new book, "A Captive Mind: Christianity, Ideologies, and Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad." Chris is a former pastor and current author who lives in Portland, Oregon. We have a great discussion about ideologies and how we become subject to them. How does Christianity relate to this captivity? What do we do when folks let go of 'faith' for rhetoric? What role does patience and humility play in our relationship to the world, but also to a Church that has become captive to ideologies of their own?? Is Christianity an idea or an event and what is the difference? How does the Gospel of Jesus change this conversation? It's a really important conversation for us, today. First, Mike discusses a letter and book that was sent to him on how to vote and Tim brings up the Herschel Walker fiasco as well as folks running for office unabashedly claiming the 'Christian Nationalist' title. How has holding these ideologies changed the way the conservative agenda is sought? How do we enter into conversation with folks who cling to their rhetoric despite its hollowness? You can interact with, and find Chris's book: HERE As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Every decision we make is motivated by some desire we have. And for most of us in the US, that means a desire for more. We want more money, a larger house, more safety, more happiness, and... well, just more. But when we look at Scripture, this pursuit of more may not be the way Jesus intended us to live a lifestyle of discipleship. It's difficult to read Philippians 4 where Paul tells about his secret of contentment and at the same time think American capitalism and consumerism are what Paul's lifestyle would look like. In this episode, Chris Nye talks about what he's finding to be valuable for living a lifestyle of discipleship while at the same time living in a culture where there's always a pressure to consume more. It could be that Less of More is a better way to be more like Jesus. Check out the full show notes and resources for this episode at dailygrowthdiscipleship.com.

This week, Jerrad interviews author, pastor, and friend, Chris Nye about his new book Less of More, and what it means for us as men. Description of Less of More: For most Americans, the pursuit of happiness really means the pursuit of more--more money, more prestige, more stuff. We've made idols out of innovation, growth, power, and wealth. Far from offering us happiness and satisfaction, this has only left us exhausted, isolated, miserable, and wondering if there is a better way.There is. Less of More exposes our pursuit of more for what it truly is: an attempt to satisfy our souls with the temporary instead of the eternal. Pastor and writer Chris Nye invites us to consider what a full and abundant life looks like apart from money, status, and power. He exposes the lies inherent in our obsession with growth, fame, and wealth and calls us to a countercultural life marked by connection, obscurity, vulnerability, and generosity.If you have gained the world but lost your soul, Less of More offers a compelling path toward a life of true, deep, lasting satisfaction with Jesus--not us--at the center of it.

When is enough, too much? Are our goals of accumulation helpful or hurting? Rather than aiding our happiness, our pursuit of more has left many exhausted, isolated, and broken. In this episode, Chris Nye helps us find a better way. Chris Nye is a pastor and writer living in the Silicon Valley of Northern California. His daily commute from the valley into the city of San Francisco inspired him to consider whether the goal of accumulation is a helpful one.

On this episode of Twitterology, Jay and Isaac chat with Liz Ditty and Chris Nye about the controversy surrounding Andy Stanley's "Unhitch the Old Testament from the New Testament" comments that had Twitter abuzz. What are we to do with the difficult, confusing, and (at least, on the surface) often ugly imagery of the Old Testament? Is it enough to say that in Jesus Christ, the Hebrew Scriptures have been nullified and made void? Does the Old Testament no longer matter in light of the Gospels? And if they do matter, why? And how should we go about reading such ancient texts?

On this episode of Twitterology, Jay and Isaac chat with Liz Ditty and Chris Nye about the often-instagrammed image of an individual casually relaxing by the lakeside or up in the mountains or at the beach or in a favorite cafe, alone and isolated, declaring, “This is my church today.” But is it? Is this really church? Certainly, quieting down the noise of our lives, getting away to a quiet and beautiful place, to experience God on a personal level through not only the mind but the senses… these are good and wonderful things. But is this church? And if not, what are the dangers in declaring that this is church?

When writer and pastor Chris Nye moved from an affluent Oregon suburb to San Francisco's Tenderloin district, his work as a pastor was turned upside down.   Chris Nye is the author of Distant God, and his new book Less of More is due in spring of 2019. 

The rise of social media has given way to a brand new way of engaging and embracing ideas. While this is often a helpful thing, it can also have some really negative effects. In particular, when it comes to the formation of our theological ideas, our understanding of who God is and what he's up to, and our perspective on the local church and her mission in the world, twitter and other social media platforms have created some harmful caricatures. In this second episode of Twitterology, Jay and Isaac chat with Liz Ditty and Chris Nye about the very tweetable idea that when the Bible becomes difficult or confusing, we should simply "Just Read Jesus." Is this true? Is it enough to just read the direct words of Jesus in the Gospels? Are the "red letter words" of the Bible the only words that truly matter? What are we to make of the over sixty other books of the Bible that do not include the direct words of Jesus?

In this episode, Jay and Isaac chat with Chris Nye, author of the book “Distant God.” Chris is a pastor, speaker, and writer whose work has been featured in the Washington Post, Christianity Today, Books & Culture, Preaching Today and various other publications. In this episode, we chat with Chris about an increasingly common question we’re hearing these days from people: “Why is God so distant?” Have you ever had seasons of life like that, where God seems to be far off, aloof, unaware of our circumstances, or, even worse, aware but apathetic? Why does God seem so distant sometimes? And what are we to do in those seasons?

If you want to react like Jesus, you must regularly interact with Jesus. Today at Awakening we’ll be joined by guest speaker Chris Nye. He will be reminding us of this simple yet powerful promise: When we seek God, we don’t have to cross our fingers that He will be found. He will be found... Read more »

How does the Christian faith relate to a world stuck in ideological captivity? What happens when vast numbers of people abandon faith for pre-packaged sets of ideas they received from podcasts, videos, and online personalities? Those are the themes of Chris Nye's new book A Captive Mind: Christianity, Ideologies, and Staying Sane in a World Gone Mad, and the topic of our conversation in this episode.We talk about how Christianity is not an idea in the first place, and therefore confuses, disrupts, and corrects any cultural ideology.
