October 31, 2021 - Rooted In Hope: Hope is in Who God Is - Damaris Taylor by Mission Hills Church
“These deep cries of our heart, these places of pain, anguish, hurt, anger. The place to bring that, first and foremost, is to God in prayer.” Jamin Goggin serves as a pastor at Mission Hills Church in San Marcos, California. Back in 2017, Jamin released the book "The Way of the Dragon or the Way of the Lamb" with his co-author Kyle Strobel. When they first released the book, it was after a journey of realizing that maybe their whole approach to ministry was actually at odds with the heart of God because it was driven by a sense of power. After the release, news broke that one of the people they highlighted as a model for the way of Jesus had a dark secret and downfall. This caused Jamin to not only reassess the book but also face a lot of disappointment and confusion. He has a lot of great insight on how to come before God in our hurt and anger, while also never forgetting to lament over the direct victims of these situations.

Today, we have something special for you. Colin and Chris had such a good time with the pre-season baseball podcast we recorded before opening day, they're back with some more movies for you. Listen in today as they talk about the summer blockbusters that shaped them as kids and young men and what impact that had on their lives. They discuss some absolute classics and then deep dive into the life lessons we can learn from these over-the-top, larger-than-life, cinematic experiences. If you didn't think you could learn lasting lessons from Terminator 2: Judgement Day, well, they'd argue you'd be wrong. Lastly, stick around for our last Man of the Moment Segment with Neil as a staff member here at Mission Hills Church, as he and Colin talk about who has been inspiring them lately. SHOW NOTES
