Even thinking about engaging in a conversation with kids about sexuality can feel scary, but Laurie and Matt Krieg have a heart to help parents approach the topic without fear.The Kriegs join Jackie and Preston to discuss moving beyond the shame-filled messages of purity culture – what was a “theology of no” – instead to a theology of goodness and flourishing. They talk about being your child's “anchoring bias” – the first voice a child hears on these topics – and why it's so important to respond like Jesus when your child is exposed to something online or confesses. Laurie and Matt also share about a new video series called “Raising Kids,” created with other thought leaders including Jon Tyson, John Mark Comer, Preston Sprinkle, and the Perrys, among many others. This 8-part video series is designed for parents of kids 12 and under, covering topics such as porn prevention, body safety, gender, and belonging. https://courses.christian-sexuality.com/courses/raising-kids Check out Laurie and Matt's upcoming book, Raising Wise Kids in a Sexually Broken World: A Gospel-Centered Approach, releasing January 2026: https://www.amazon.com/Raising-Wise-Sexually-Broken-World/dp/1514012146Scripture references:Psalm 88:1-5 This Episode is Sponsored By:https://magicspoon.com/PERRY — Get $5 off your next order!https://policygenius.com/perry — Compare free life insurance quotes from top companies and see how much you could save.

This Sunday, guest Pastor John Mark Comer brought a timely word about receiving true rest in the gentle and humble heart of Jesus Christ when He reveals the Father to those who believe. As folowers of Jesus, we too must be in pursuit of becoming both gentle and humble. When we actively meditate on the heart of Jesus, we can receive the true rest that comes through confidence in who Jesus is instead of our own striving to manage and manipulate the outcomes of the world, and be more deeply formed into His image.
A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 25 - Contrived Religious Innovations, presented by Bob DeWaay. John Mark Comer prescribes contemplative practices that Bob DeWaay calls contrived spiritual innovations. He uses 1Peter 1:8 to show that we must reject contemplative practices, believe by faith though we have not seen Him, and trust the promises of God. (duration 00:25:54) Click here to play
Freikirchen haben sich von vielem prägen lassen, was uns die Welt beigebracht hat. In grossen Gottesdiensten gibt es ein Programm, in der Predigt bekommt man nächste Schritte vermittelt, die man umsetzen soll. Doch wie trainiere ich im Kleinen geistliche Praktiken ein? Wie bleibe ich nahe bei Jesus?Der Autor John Mark Comer hat für diese Praktiken eine Sprache gefunden, die in unsere Zeit spricht. Er behandelt in seinen beliebten Büchern Fragen wie: Wie können wir in einer hektischen Welt zur Ruhe kommen? Was bedeutet Jüngerschaft im 21. Jahrhundert? Wie kann Kirche authentisch, geistlich und relevant zugleich sein? Pastor Beat Staub liess sich persönlich auf Comers Literatur ein und hat dadurch auch in seiner Kirche viel Veränderung erlebt. Im Livenet Talk mit Florian Wüthrich reflektiert er, was es für unser persönliches Leben, unsere Gemeinschaften und die Kirche heisst, wenn wir uns zum Beispiel auf Comers Botschaften der Entschleunigung einlassen.Beat Staub teilt seine Erfahrungen und gibt Einblick, wie diese Impulse in seiner Gemeinde konkret ausgelebt werden können.

Send us a textW3: James discusses a recent book that he has been reading on the current state of the Old Testament. Main Topic: Drey and James discusses John Mark Comer's recent comments on Penal Substitutionary Atonement. Does he have a point? Where does he go wrong? We discuss these things and more.
In this opening session, Pastor Taylor Callen explores why hurry is not just a scheduling problem. Hurry is a spiritual crisis. Drawing from his own story of burnout and recovery, and leaning on insights from John Mark Comer, Kevin DeYoung, and others, he traces how our modern culture has discipled us into distraction, anxiety, and exhaustion.With biblical reflections from Luke 10, Mark 1, Psalm 46, and more, this session diagnoses the soul-warping effects of hurry and lays the groundwork for the rest of the year's fellowship theme: reclaiming Gospel pace for the glory of Christ and the good of His church.“What if the solution isn't a better calendar, but a better Savior?”
9-21-2025The speaker introduces an eight-week church-wide study called "Practicing the Way," based on John Mark Comer's teachings, emphasizing the transformative call of Jesus to "Come, follow me." Rooted in historical context, the speaker explains the significance of rabbis in ancient Israel and the rigorous educational journey leading to discipleship, highlighting how Jesus' invitation to fishermen like Peter and Andrew was revolutionary, as it extended to those deemed "not good enough." The call to follow Jesus is presented as an opportunity for personal formation—being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing as He did—rather than merely holding Christian beliefs. The speaker challenges listeners to move from identifying as Christians to becoming apprentices of Christ, urging them to carve out time to be with Jesus daily and embrace His call to discipleship for a deeper, transformative faith.

Vivimos corriendo, con la mente acelerada y el corazón agotado. John Mark Comer la llama “la enfermedad de la prisa”, y la psicología la relaciona con ansiedad, estrés y hasta riesgo cardiovascular.En este episodio reflexionamos sobre:✅ Cómo la prisa enferma tu mente, cuerpo y relaciones.✅ Lo que dice la Biblia sobre el ritmo no apresurado de Jesús.✅ Prácticas sencillas para dejar el afán y recuperar la paz.
Over the past half-century, evangelical Christians have rediscovered spiritual formation. Richard Foster, Dallas Willard, John Ortberg, and more recently John Mark Comer have helped re-emphasize spiritual practices and the interior life. But why does so much popular writing and teaching on spiritual formation lean on Catholic sources – mystics and monks and Merton? Is there a distinctly Protestant stream of spiritual formation that we can rediscover? If so, what might it teach us? In this episode, we interact with a new book from Matthew Bingham, A Heart Aflame for God. Bingham asserts that there IS a deep Protestant tradition of spiritual formation, and one of its distinctives is the centrality of Scripture. In this episode, we discuss why we tend to minimize Scripture in spiritual formation, why the Puritans saw Scripture as central to spiritual formation, and how we can practically foreground the Scriptures in our spiritual practices.Chapters:(0:00) Introductions: Have We Lost the Thread on Spiritual Formation?(4:26) The Primacy of the Word of God(13:23) Some Critiques of a Word-Centric Spiritual Formation(20:43) What the Puritans Have to Say(26:22) Let the Word of Christ Dwell in You Richly
Jesus came…preaching (Mark 1:14). Just words? Tell that to creation (Gen 1:3). Just words? Words have conquered kingdoms and forged new worlds. And when it's the word of the cross, the message of God's glorious kingdom, the sword wielded by the Spirit to dispel the darkness and secure the faithful, it's something greater still. Yes, we believe in the foolishness of preaching, for we know what appears so small, weak, and insignificant can rise from obscurity and be used by God to enlighten the nations and save the world.The sermon today is titled "Boldly Preach The Gospel." This sermon is the twenty-second installment in our series "Follow Me." The Scripture reading is from Mark 1:14 (KJV) & 1 Corinthians 1:18-24 (ESV).

Jesus loved tables. The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost. And the Son of Man came…eating and drinking.

Is Penal Substitutionary Atonement biblical? In this video, Christian Barrett responds to John Mark Comer's recent comments about PSA and why this doctrine is essential to the gospel. Many Christians today are confused about atonement theories, but the Bible clearly teaches that Jesus died as our substitute, bearing the penalty for our sins so that we might be reconciled to God. This is the message of salvation, and one worth talking about and defending.
A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 18 - Spirituality Divorced from Rationality, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. John Mark Comer claims that the most important goal of apprenticeship is being with Jesus - being aware of His presence and hearing His voice. We also refute Comer's claim that we can "live in the moment-by-moment flow of love within the Trinity." (duration 00:24:19) Click here to play
I call it, “Bumper-sticker Theology.” That's my label for the kind of theology that involves no deep, contemplative, pondering or meditation of the weighty issues of faith. But rather it's like a drive-by approach to significant issues where we just wave at them as we go past and summarize our conclusions in pithy phrases that fit well on t-shirts or bumper stickers. We have a plague of bumper-sticker theology in our generation.Daniel Schreiner, “Engaging with ‘Practicing the Way': Nine Thoughts on John Mark Comer's Best Seller,” March 12, 2025.
Today, we dive into the controversy surrounding evangelical pastor John Mark Comer's apparent denial of penal substitutionary atonement, or PSA, sparked by his endorsement of a book rejecting Christ's substitutionary death for our sins. We unpack what PSA means, why it's central to the gospel, and the dangers of dismissing it, with insights from theologians like Alisa Childers and Denny Burke.

A Critique of Practicing the Way, Part 15 - A False Gospel, presented by Bob DeWaay and Barb Gretch. John Mark Comer asks the question, "But what are we saved to?"

This week we'll study Luke 9:21-27 under the theme “Take Up Your Cross.” Jesus' call to discipleship is startlingly clear: following Him requires daily self-denial and cross-bearing. We'll explore what this means (and doesn't mean), why the cost of refusing Him is far greater than the cost of obedience, and how this difficult path paradoxically leads to true freedom and joy.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer. This work guides Christians toward spiritual formation by following the lifestyle of Jesus — through intentional practices like silence, sabbath, simplicity, and community. It emphasizes becoming like Jesus by doing what he did, integrating faith into everyday life through rhythm, discipline, and deep apprenticeship.How can we pray for you? tinyurl.com/stmarcusprayersFill out our online connection card: tinyurl.com/stmarcusconnectcardIf you'd like to leave an offering or monetary donation to our ministry please click here: https://tinyurl.com/stmarcusgive

This week, we will be studying Romans 12:1-5, where the Apostle Paul urges believers to offer themselves to God, to be transformed by the renewing of their minds, and to live humbly as interdependent members of Christ's Body. John Mark Comer's Practicing the Way, in the chapter titled “How? A Rule of Life,” builds on this vision by offering a practical framework. This “Rule of Life” is not rigid legalism, but intentional patterns and everyday rhythms that foster freedom in the believer's life. Just as the body thrives when every part fulfills its purpose, so too does the soul flourish when ordered around abiding, becoming, and doing like Jesus.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer.

This week we will be studying Ephesians 4:1-6 under the theme “Do As Jesus Did.” The Apostle Paul calls believers to live a life worthy of the divine calling they've received—a life marked by humility, patience, love, and unity. True spiritual maturity comes not by age but through intentional discipleship, learning to “do as He did” in every area of life.SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer.

What is the Christian life really about? And what is the church meant to be? These foundational questions often reveal how deeply our assumptions have been shaped by culture more than by Christ. In this episode of the Unhurried Living Podcast, Alan Fadling shares a rich conversation with John Mark Comer, originally aired when his book Practicing the Way was newly released. John Mark is a teacher, writer, and founder of Practicing the Way and has spent years exploring what it means to be an apprentice of Jesus in the post-Christian West. Formerly the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, OR, John Mark now develops spiritual formation resources for churches worldwide. Together, we explore how spiritual disciplines form us not just for today, but for eternal living—and how church communities can reclaim the Way of Jesus in a distracted, fast-paced world.

This week, we will be studying 2 Peter 1:3-8 under the theme “Become Like Him.” As John Mark Comer writes, “You will never work harder for anything in your life than Christlike character, and nothing else will ever feel like such an unearned gift. This is a paradox you simply have to experience for yourself.” (Practicing The Way, pg. 111) Or, as Peter writes, "His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.” (2 Pet. 1:3)SERIES SUMMARY: This series is based on the best-selling Christian book, Practicing the Way, by John Mark Comer.
