Podcast appearances and mentions of Kevin Dixon

Regular listeners of this podcast are already familiar with disappointment. This week, it's not just about the banter and the hosts, though. We're studying stories of disappointment in the Bible. What can we learn from those who felt let down by God? How do we keep faith in a God who doesn't seem to want to do good in our lives? Layla Shahmohammedi and Rob Gonzalez join regulars Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind to share their own experiences of faith an disappointment.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro07:13 Jumping The Shark (Wait, didn't we do that a long time ago?)08:32 Content Begins.

On Sunday, Mike Erre shared some new ways of looking at Jesus' parable of forgiveness. Kevin Dixon, Layla Shahmohammedi and Tim Timmons join Mike to go deeper on the subject: How much of God's forgiveness is personal versus communal? What if we don't feel like we need forgiveness? These plus more questions spurred from listeners.

On Sunday, we talked about Jesus' church as a community of mutual submission—and how the original grammar of Ephesians 5 isn't teaching about marriage roles.

After Sunday's discussion of the Holy Spirit as part of a trinity, a listener asks: What about that old illustration that God is like water in three forms—ice, liquid and vapor? Is that good theology or not? Another listener adds: Why does God seem so different in different parts of the Bible? Take a long, cool drink with us as Tim Timmons, Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre explain the mystery of God in 42 minutes.

On Easter, we thought about a resurrection that means so much more than just a ticket to heaven some day. But, even if Jesus is the restoration of all things, why did He have to die? Why did he have to suffer in the way that he did? And, who really gets saved? Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Suzie Lind rise up with some thoughts on this week's podcast.TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro00:55 It's My Birthday And I'll Podcast If I Wanna04:30 He Is Risen.

After learning on Sunday how God can give people over to their own impulses, our listeners are wondering about wrath. And, special guest Layla Shahmohammadi is feeling angsty about it. Or at least trying to be angsty. Or maybe isn't but wishes she were.

We're continuing to study Ephesians, this week focusing on Paul's instructions to cast off old ways of living. That sounds great, but it's much easier to hear than to actually do.

NOW's core four of Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons are back together, so this week's episode heads straight towards a certain destination without a hand basket. Eventually, though, they explore this week's teaching that the glory of God resides in His people and why that doesn't always look like our idea of a successful church.

In this special episode, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons share Journey's practice of praying with the community. Each week, the Journey staff, Elders and prayer team read people's written requests for prayer and agree with them before God, saying "Lord, hear our prayer." This week, the NOW team brings that practice to the podcast and reflect on what it means to pray and to carry each others' burdens. TIMESTAMPS 1:20 Expletives Deleted.

We're back in Ephesians this week and still wrapping our minds around Jesus' great leveling. Paul explains how both Jews and Gentiles were dead in different ways but for God's grace.

We're learning about the great leveling that prepared Jesus' arrival—valleys brought high and mountains made low.

Musician and author Nick Cave tells us that “hope is optimism with a broken heart.” This year, we're learning to approach the hope of advent in that same spirit. Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Kevin Dixon reflect on the idea of a Blue Christmas and how advent season reminds them how we live in both expectation and lament all year long?

This week, we began a series of conversations on advent using the common lectionary. That's a book of scripture readings used by churches worldwide for teaching throughout the year. Just one problem: Kevin Dixon isn't having it.

How can it be possible that Jesus defeated the powers of evil when we still live with so many bad things around us (and even inside our own hearts) ? We're learning about how we live in an overlapping time where "this present age of evil" exists in the midst of Jesus' victory. Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons ask Mike Erre about the conversation he led Sunday. Then, it's time for listener questions.

On Sunday, we studied powers and principalities as described by the apostle, Paul. Now, a listener asks: All these gods seem more like metaphors than real beings.

As we study Ephesians, we're examining the ancient culture of demons and magic and Paul's message of victory over those powers. A listener asks: If that battle over dark powers has already been won, why doesn't it look like that in the church or in my own life? According to Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind, the answer to that question is the whole point of the book. Listen if you're missing, y'all.

The punk band naming scheme continues, for better or worse, as we begin a new series on Ephesians called The Offspring. As we learn more about how the Church is supposed to live together in unity, skeptical listeners are asking how that idea can be abused. What happens when leaders call for unity as a way of covering up faults, failings and scandals.

On Sunday, we contrasted the striving, pyramid-shaped Roman cursus honorum society (literally “course of honors”) with Jesus' willing descent from Lord to crucified outcast. If he called his followers to follow his lead and reject status in favor of unity, what does that look like in our lives? Journey's text lines are filled this week with questions about how we live out an anti-pyramid faith, and Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Rob Gonzalez are here to get to the bottom of it all.

This week, we began a series of discussions called "Social Distortion." Mike Erre argued that sin and salvation are worked out in community, not just individually. That brought up a LOT of listener questions: Can I sin in isolation? Can I have identity in a community of faith and still not experience salvation? Isn't it possible to encounter God as an individual? Mommy's little monsters Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons join Mike for this week's discussion.

Jesus saved the worst of his woes to the Pharisees for last, telling them, "Look, your house is left to you, desolate." This week's surprise guest asks our regular NOW talking heads Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons exactly what that means. Is there a point at which just God abandons us? Plus: She's so unusual!

Apparently, we're experts in Bad Religion, because we're still talking about it in our current gatherings. A listener asks what to do when personal values and morals conflict with religious dictums. Can bad religion harm our innate goodness? This week's panel of Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon and Tim Timmons unpack it all. Also, Tim wants to know why we both celebrate and lament "humanness." Is there a contradiction there, or are we missing something in the English translation? TIMESTAMPS 00:40 61 Candles 03:40 The Grand Tetons 04:26 Mommy Juice In A Glass Bottle 08:30 Nate Erre checks in. (not heard from again) 09:15 Discussion of bad religion starts.

This week, we studied Jesus' rebuke to the Pharisees that were making followers into twice the children of Hell that they were. That prompted a listener to ask what salvation really is? And it sent this week's panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons into a reflection on evangelism. What has the Church done to make salvation hellish? What will future generations say we got wrong? And, how can we do better? TIMESTAMPS 00:41 Pastors are doing it for themselves--censorship, that is.* We join mid-banter as they scrap 15 minutes of intro they thought might rub some folks the wrong way... 01:08 ... and then, much talking about all the things the rest of us didn't get to hear: The pain of Mother's Day for dads; grain-free chips; mumbletypeg and more. 03:28 Lame intro question: The one where Tim doesn't like "Friends." 06:05 Thoughtful, mature Biblical content begins. * Editor's note: Good call scrapping Take One, guys. We have the audio, and we're saving it. (Also: Production Team's Day is next weekend.) - - - - Have a question or comment for the NOW team?

Special guest Tim Stafford from the Voxology podcast joins regular NOW contributors Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and Kevin Dixon this week. As we continue our series on bad religion, they discuss what evangelism looks like in the Bible.

On this episode, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons examine some of the harm that rules-based Christianity causes. Does relationship have to come with a litmus test?
