Michael Gungor and his wife Lisa were pioneers in the Christian music scene, building a loyal fan base through Gungor's music and podcasts such as The Liturgists. However, Michael's recent turn towards an increasingly progressive, mystical and deconstructed interpretation of faith has left many Christians confused. In this episode Michael is joined by Christian songwriter and teacher, Evan Wickham as they break down many of the questions millennials and Gen Z'ers are facing today and what impact and interpretation, if any, this has on the church, modern theology and Christian music today.

As part of our year in Acts, we are looking at eight different practices from Jesus that shaped the life of the early church. In this teaching, Evan Wickham walks us through our second practice: fasting. The spiritual practice of fasting from food played a crucial role in the launching of Jesus' ministry as well as the most important moments of key decision-making in the early church. So, this raises the question, why is fasting such a forgotten practice for Christians in our time and place today? In our relatively affluent culture of extra, more, and mine, fasting might be the most relevant practice for followers of Jesus. We are called by the living God to live holy lives by the power of the Holy Spirit. And one of the primary ways we get to live into that holiness is through the practice of fasting-with-prayer in community.

In today's episode, we delve into a profound conversation with my friend, Pastor Johnny Zacchio. Johnny brings some pertinent pastoral questions about the subject of doubt and deconstruction, which is a significant issue for many within the church today. His questions focus on how pastors can understand a simple meaning of deconstruction, and how we can better minister and lend support to those wrestling with these challenging topics. Alongside discussing my personal standpoints and experiences, we unpack how the church can better understand, empathize with, and shepherd the 'doubter' in our communities. Our conversation is a deep dive into the intersection of faith, doubt, and how we can uphold the truth while extending grace and mercy. Whether you are in ministry, a lay leader, volunteer, or simply a Christian seeking to help others follow Jesus, this episode is for you. So let's jump right in! -------------- LINKS: CGN Doubt & Deconstruction Resources for Pastors and Leaders My conversation with Evan Wickham on Hope for Doubters & Deconstructors Part 1 of a video series Nick Cady and I are doing on this topic.

This is the final episode of our 7-part “Godbreathed” interview series. Author and pastor John Mark Comer visits the Park Hill podcast to discuss his journey with Jesus, his relationship with God and scripture, and what it means to be spiritually formed in the way of Jesus. Evan Wickham interviews John Mark on how to engage with our polarized culture without losing our souls, how to faithfully read the hard parts of the Bible, and the pros and cons of the modern spiritual formation movement in the church today. We pray this conversation enriches you as you seek to love God and others well.

Today, church planter and worship leader Evan Whickman joins us from Park Hill Church in sunny San Diego. In this conversation, Jason and Evan explore various themes, starting with Evan's personal journey of deconstructing and reconstructing his faith in Jesus, and the environments that helped him along the way. Together, they also unpack the concept of "Compassionate and Courageous Orthodoxy," and in it, the delicate balance of standing firm on core Christian truths while creating environments for open and honest conversations. Evan shares profound insights on engaging in meaningful dialogue with those who hold different perspectives, while both tackling challenging questions and maintaining a genuine curiosity toward those in the conversation. Throughout the interview, Evan exudes faith and courage while staying grounded in the complexities of pastoring in this moment. We hope you enjoy our conversation with him.  Bio | Evan Wickham is a worship leader, songwriter, speaker, and lead pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego, CA, which he co-founded in 2017 with Sandy, his wife of 23 years (and their five kids).

Dr. Sandy Richter (PhD Harvard) is the real life Indiana Jones. She's an Ancient Near Eastern linguist and archaeologist. She can read original Old Testament Hebrew better than most of us read English, which is probably why she's one of the few women on the NIV Bible Translation Committee. In Part 5 of our Godbreathed interview series, Evan Wickham asks Dr. Richter how she stumbled from lost to believer to leading voice in biblical scholarship. Also, does the Bible demean women and promote slavery (fun fact: she disagrees with Nijay Gupta's answer to this Q from a few episodes ago in this series)? What parts of the Bible still keep Sandy up at night? And most importantly, how does Jesus encounter Sandy through the scriptures?

Does the Bible demean women? Why do Christians seem to obey only some biblical commands "as written" (i.e. Love God, love neighbor) while obeying other commands only partially (i.e. don't eat shellfish, don't shave your beards, how to marry your captured slaves)? In this conversation, Evan Wickham interviews Dan Kimball, pastor of Vintage Faith, professor at Western Seminary, and author of How (Not) to Read the Bible, among other works. In this conversation, Dan Kimball responds beautifully to some common questions about the Bible and following Jesus. We pray this conversation increases your trust in the goodness of God's written word.

To enrich our Sunday teaching series Godbreathed, the Park Hill Church Podcast is hosting conversations with scholars, theologians, and pastors all about the good, bad, ugly and beautiful parts of the Bible, and how to encounter Jesus through it all. This conversation is with Dr. AJ Swoboda. AJ is a pastor, theologian, and cohost of the Slow Theology Podcast alongside Nijay Gupta. AJ currently teaches Bible and Theology at Bushnell University. In this conversation, Evan Wickham asks AJ some questions about the Bible. As Always, Swoboda's responses never fail to surprise and delight (which might involve a tirade against what he calls "Bible shaming" plus a provocative take on “kosmos” in John 3:16 being about God's love for extra terrestrials as well as humans). We think this conversation will help you on your journey following Jesus.

To enrich our Sunday teaching series Godbreathed, the Park Hill Church Podcast is hosting conversations with scholars, theologians, and pastors all about the good, bad, ugly and beautiful parts of the Bible, and how to encounter Jesus through it all. This conversation is with biblical scholar and Slow Theology podcast cohost, Dr. Nijay Gupta. Nijay serves on the New Living Bible Translation Committee. But don't let his credentials fool you: Nijay is a pastor at heart. In this conversation, Evan Wickham asks Nijay Gupta some common questions about the Bible: Is the Bible anti-women? Is the Bible pro-slavery? What parts of the Bible still keep Nijay up at night, and what does he do about that? Perhaps most importantly, how does Nijay encounter Jesus through the scriptures? We discuss these questions and more in this fascinating interview. We pray it equips you to follow Jesus more closely into the wild world of the Bible.

To enrich our Sunday morning sermon series "Godbreathed," Park Hill Church is hosting conversations with scholars, theologians, and pastors all about the good, bad, ugly, and beautiful parts of the Bible. In this conversation, Evan Wickham sits down with Dr. Preston Sprinkle, author, biblical scholar, and president of the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender. What difficult parts of the Bible still keep Preston up at night? What does he do about that? How should Jesus followers approach our hyper-polarized political moment in time? As a professional Bible guy, how does Preston experience the loving presence of God through the scriptures? We discuss these questions and more in this interview.

To enrich our series "Godbreathed," this is a live Q&A panel from the Roseburg Bible Conference at Redeemers Church with Scot McKnight, Lakita Wright, AJ Swoboda, and Evan Wickham. They respond to all kinds of questions about the Bible. Park Hill gives a big thank you to Redeemers Church in Roseburg for granting permission for us to post this Q&A panel discussion to the Park Hill podcast feed. We pray this enriches your journey of trusting Jesus and the Scriptures.

Evan Wickham joins Aaron Keyes on this month's podcast! Evan is the Lead Pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego. This episode covers a lot of ground - Evan's journey of transitioning to a senior pastor/ church planter role after decades as a worship leader, Sabbath being the thing that changed everything for the Wickham family, and how where you sit determines what you see. The conversation closes with a vulnerable, honest question of whether Jesus experienced fear, guilt, and shame the same way we do. Lots of big questions with gentle, kind, thoughtful responses.

Evan Wickham was a worship leader who became a pastor but not before some painful undoing of the theology with which he was raised. How did he not undo all of it?

Evan Wickham and Aaron Salvato discuss the "Mission of God" and what it means for followers of The Way of Jesus. They discuss their shared background growing up as pastor's kids in evangelical culture, and how easy it is to become apathetic to the mission of the Church. Evan gives some great insights into how to break free from this apathy and find ourselves more committed to living out the call of the Christian Church.

Years ago I heard one of my mentors, Evan Wickham, use a phrase I found compelling. He said: "Jesus is what God has to say." It was powerful and it stuck with me. Over the years I've been mulling over this phrase and thinking about how it intersects with one of the debates that's being had within Christianity about the concept of “the word of God.” Some people insist the Bible is the word of God. Still others insist, no Jesus is the Word of God. Where does the truth lie? That's the question we are going to dive into today. On this episode I'm joined by that same mentor I learned the phrase “Jesus Is what God has to say” from: my former youth pastor and good friend, Evan Wickham. I know you're going to be blessed to hear from Evan today. If you don't know him, he's a worship leader, Husband and father of 5 kids, a graduate of western seminary, and a church planting pastor who leads Park Hill Church in San Diego. I can't speak more highly of the guy. He's been one of the people in my life who has challenged me and inspired me to follow Jesus the most. He's always encouraged me to dive deep, not shy away from tough questions, and has always pointed me back to Christ. In fact, if it wasn't for the ways he impacted me over the years, this show and ministry of GoodLion probably wouldn't exist! With all that said, I know you're going to enjoy todays episode as we explore the concept of the "Word of God", and ask who, or what, is the Word of God? We get deep. We get Biblical. I know that I learned a lot, and I hope you do too. I hope this conversation between a teacher and his former student blesses you, encourages you, challenges you, and surprises you.

Evan Wickham // A dual series through the book of Habakkuk and the values Genesis is seeking to build on in 2022.

Prof Gerry Breshears is back for his record breaking 3rd time on the show! In this episode we dive into the debate swirling around PSA (Penal Substitutionary Atonement) and ask Gerry all the hard questions! In this episode we cover: What exactly is PSA, and why do so many Christians disagree about it? Can you defend PSA Biblically? What exactly happened on the Cross? What was the Trinity doing? Are the classic song lyrics correct? Did the Father turn his face away from Jesus on the Cross? Was Jesus forsaken on the Cross? Bonus: Which atonement theory does Gerry prefer? And: How can our understanding of the atonement impact our preaching to young people / postmoderns / deconstructionists? Note from Aaron: The idea for this episode has been sitting in my brain for almost 7 years... back when I read a post from my friend and pastor Evan Wickham about his convo with Gerry about the atonement. The insights blew my mind then, and I hope they blow your mind now!

Evan Wickham, Lead Pastor at Park Hill Church speaks on Genesis 1:1-3 and Matthew 11:25-30.

In all of the insanity, confusion, and cultural upheaval of the early 2020s, there's been a growing resurgence of the term “social justice” that has taken the world by storm, especially in the wake of George Floyd's death. However, like many issues today, Christians are divided on the term social justice. To some, it represents a Biblical form of restorative justice that reflects our responsibility to honor, love, and serve all humans as made in the image of God, and to Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves. To others, it represents a flawed and broken political idealogy that has been corrupted by secular humanists beyond repair. For this reason, these Christian leaders are urging their followers to completely reject the usage of the phrase "social justice." To discuss this divide and how we can think critically about it as followers of The Way, Aaron has invited a guy he really looks up to: Dave Lomas, lead pastor of reality San Francisco. Dave recently taught a sermon at Evan Wickham's church all about what it means to "do social justice" as a follower of Christ. In the message it was noted that "while there are many ways the world does social justice that Christians should NOT be about", Dave made the case that there is a way to do it that is both biblical and Christ honoring. Dave believes that while the term can be employed, it must be properly contextualized within the framework of the Christian faith, not the lens of culture. Voddie Baucham disagrees, and is a vocal critic of this position who raises some valid concerns. Dave and Aaron take some time to examine the arguments of Voddie and see what wisdom can be found, and where differences of philosophy of ministry can be found as well. I'm so glad you could join us for this conversation. You're listening to the GoodLion Podcast!

Why are Millennials and GenZ kids who grew up in the Church leaving in droves? How can we reach people struggling with doubt and deconstruction? Evan Wickham, pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego, has a lot of perspective to offer on this topic. Between his time as a youth pastor, traveling worship leader, and spending years pastoring in Portland (a culture hostile to the Christian faith), Evan has seen his fair share of doubt & deconstruction... as well as experiencing some himself. Evan shares his insight into how we can come out the other side of doubt and deconstruction with a positive attitude aiming to build the Church up, rather than tear it down, and how we can reach people who are currently struggling with their faith. He introduces a concept called "Spiritual Consent" that he has found helpful in ministering to people burned out and wounded by things they've experienced. We hope this conversation helps you in your walk with Christ and is a helpful resource to you as you make every effort to help others discover the Way of Jesus.

Evan Wickham is the Lead Pastor or Park Hill Church in San Diego. In this conversation, Rob and Evan bring clarity to the popular progressive and deconstruction movements that are emerging in many churches. 

In this episode, Rob Salvato interviews three incredible worship leaders on their favorite song about the cross. Evan Wickham, Dominic Balli, and Danny Donnelly have different responses but give incredible insight the work of Christ on the cross.

According to the latest research, modern Christians are conflicted when it comes to sharing our faith. One one hand, we feel confident in our knowledge of the gospel. On the other hand, we often feel it's wrong and/or discriminatory to share the gospel in hopes of converting people to Jesus. If we believe the gospel is the most important thing for people to understand and receive, then why are we so scared to share it? In today's teaching, Evan Wickham unpacks our problem with evangelism, and why now is the perfect time for Christians to revisit the Scriptures for a fresh look at what the gospel actually is... and why it is truly good news – for everyone.

In today's teaching, Evan Wickham lays out some big-picture vision for Park Hill Church that we will unpack together in the coming months. This vision-casting moment is followed by a teaching from Matthew 25:1–13. In this passage, Jesus calls his followers to be prepared for his coming. We will see that life with God is a rhythm of preparation and breakthrough.

The most dangerous thing Christians have to deal with is not external opposition, but internal hypocrisy. No dark force is more destructive to the work of God in the Church than a Christian who lives a double life. In today's teaching, Evan Wickham unpacks the story of Jesus aggressively confronting the hypocrisy of Israel in the Temple courts. He drives the insiders out and brings the outsiders in. This is a much-needed message for the church today. When there is sin and compromise among the people of God, it destroys the culture God is trying to build in the world. Plus, religious hypocrisy is what people outside the church can't stand. We need to allow Jesus to confront us, and then humble ourselves before him.

In these 12 verses, Jesus speaks to some of the most sensitive areas of the human experience. Marriage. Divorce. Remarriage. Sex. Adultery. Gender. Singleness. These topics are so important for so many of us. So much so that Park Hill church is going to slow down and take in these 12 verses in two parts. In this weeks teaching (Part 2), Evan Wickham walks through Jesus' (and Paul's) teachings on singleness. Per usual, Jesus cuts through the hot button debates of his day and points the way to the Creator's beautiful vision for true human flourishing.

In these 12 verses, Jesus speaks to some of the most sensitive areas of the human experience. Marriage. Divorce. Remarriage. Sex. Adultery. Gender. Singleness. These topics are so important for so many of us. So much so that Park Hill church is going to slow down and take in these 12 verses in two parts. In this weeks teaching (Part 1), Evan Wickham walks through Jesus' teachings on marriage and divorce. Per usual, Jesus cuts through the hot button debates of his day and points the way to the Creators beautiful vision for true human flourishing.

What happens when community gets messy? Maybe a better question... when *isn't* community messy?! In this weeks teaching, Evan Wickham walks through Matthew 18 – Jesus' famous sermon on how to navigate the day-to-day grittiness well in the family of God. Spoiler alert: community doesn't work without a culture of forgiveness.

According to John the Baptist, a church that truly anticipates the coming of Christ is a church that is marked by counter-cultural generosity. What should this generosity look like in the 21st century? In our age of instant digital tech, we can send our money anywhere we want at the touch of an iPhone screen. What does is look like to "excel in giving" as Paul commanded? On the 3rd Sunday of Advent, Evan Wickham unpacks the various Scriptures that address the important questions around money and generosity for the sake of the kingdom.

As we continue our Emotionally Healthy Church series, Evan Wickham teaches on one of the most important yet forgotten aspects of following in the Way of Jesus: Remembering the Sabbath. God commands it in the Old Testament. Jesus practices and teaches it in the New Testament. In our frenetic, performance-addicted age of overwork, followers of Jesus are called to be different. Sabbath rest is spiritual warfare in a culture of exhaustion.

Our society worships the idea of limitlessness, equating it with freedom. But what if true freedom is only achieved once we receive our God-given limitations as gifts from heaven? In this weeks teaching, Evan Wickham looks to Genesis and John for a fresh vision of what it means to live as finite creatures who are loved by an infinite Creator.

Except in rare cases, our family of origin is the most significant force in shaping us into the people we have become. For better or worse. According to the story of Scripture, generational sin is real - and Jesus has come to redeem and heal all who would step into his family of faith. In this week's Emotionally Healthy Church series teaching, Evan Wickham unpacks what it looks like to break the power of our past and step into the hope and healing of Jesus.

Evan Wickham briefly introduces a new teaching series for Park Hill Church. May we follow Jesus well, as his holistic disciples, together as his family in San Diego. "It is not possible for a Christian to be spiritually mature and emotionally immature." - Pete Scazzero

Followers of Jesus, by definition, are those who live out Jesus's vision for human flourishing by practicing his Way, together in their city. Among his many teachings, Jesus addressed few topics with greater clarity and punch than that of marriage and sexuality. In Matthew 14, John the Baptist gets beheaded at a political feast for standing with Jesus on sexual ethics. Listen in as Evan Wickham unpacks Jesus's vision for marriage, singleness, and sexuality.

How should Christians think about the Bible? How is it authoritative over our lives? Wasn't it written by humans? Don't science and the Bible conflict? What about inerrancy? Evan Wickham interviews author/speaker/PhD Andrew Wilson on these questions and more.
