Podcasts about Peterman

In this conversation, Amar Peterman and I get into the slow, local, unglamorous work of becoming neighbors across real difference. We talk about the table as the place where the common good gets built, and why so many of us are far more comfortable playing host than being hosted - flinging our doors open without ever considering who actually walks through them. We get into hospitality as displacement, an accompaniment that refuses to leave, Thomas learning you can't reason your way to resurrection, and an imagination that can see life where everything around us insists there's only division. Here's the challenge: we have to learn to receive before we can ever give, to love people beyond their labels, and to start right where we are, with the one neighbor in front of us.Amar D. Peterman is a constructive theologian working at the intersection of faith and public life. He is the founder of Scholarship for Religion and Society LLC and the former assistant director of civic networks at Interfaith America. Peterman holds an MDiv from Princeton Theological Seminary and is currently a PhD student at the University of Chicago Divinity School. His writing and research have been featured in Sojourners, Christianity Today, The Christian Century,The Fetzer Institute, The Berkley Forum, and more.

In this episode, Chris Smith, founding editor of ERB, speaks with best-selling author Shannan Martin and first-time author Amar Peterman about the intersecting themes of faith, justice, and community in their new books. Their conversation explores the tension between life's “heavy goodness” and its “undercurrent of grief,” demonstrating that "we can only counter what we're first willing to weigh," as Martin puts it. In addition, the authors explore the tension between one's personal comfort and the call to “draw near in mercy” to our neighbors, especially those who are marginalized, as Peterman points out. Both authors emphasize that meaningful change begins not with grand gestures but with everyday relationships, accompanying our neighbors across lines of difference through joys and struggles. Overall, the episode, like the books, is not prescriptive but rather rooted deeply in how the authors work to cultivate a sense of belonging for everyone in their local neighborhoods.If you'd like to order any of the following books, we encourage you to do so from Hearts and Minds Books (an independent bookstore in Dallastown, PA, run by Byron and Beth Borger) Books by Shannan MartinCounterweights The Ministry of Ordinary PlacesStart with HelloFalling Free Work by Amar PetermanBecoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local Other Books MentionedA Theology of Liberation by Gustavo Gutiérrez Paul Farmer: Servant to the Poor by Jennie Weiss BlockMake Your Home in this Luminous Dark by James K.

David Chao welcomes Amar Peterman to discuss his first book, Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local (Eerdmans). Peterman reflects on how his upbringing—adopted from northern India and raised in both a Polish Catholic neighborhood and a white evangelical megachurch—shaped his sense of belonging and sparked deeper questions about race, place, and faith.He shares the personal and theological journey that led to this book, offering a vision for practicing neighbor love in a divided society. Peterman highlights the table as a model for pluralistic community, outlines six practices of neighbor love, and explores the unique, in-between role Asian American Christians can play in public life.01:19 Belonging and Unbelonging18:34 Absence Versus Domination23:26 The Table as Common Good26:02 Potluck Not Melting Pot33:17 Six Practices of Neighbor Love50:49 Asian American Role at the Table54:49 Closing Blessing and ThanksFoto by Annushka Ahuja: https://www.pexels.com/es-es/foto/caminando-madre-familia-padre-8055684/ This is a public episode.

A recent article in The Atlantic argues that we should stop using the label "Christian nationalism" to criticize the religious right because both conservatives and progressives throughout American history have been motivated by Christian faith. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss what the article gets right and why we need to keep talking about the danger of Christian nationalism. Phil wonders why Catholic leaders are outspoken in their criticism of the Iran war, while fewer evangelical leaders are speaking up. Kaitlyn talks with Amar Peterman about his book, Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local.

March 8th, 2026 | No Other Gospel | Galatians 2:1-10What happens when the Gospel becomes unclear in the life of the church? In this message from Galatians 2:1–10, Jake Peterman walks through a defining moment in the early church when the truth of the Gospel was being challenged. Some teachers were claiming that faith in Jesus wasn't enough—that salvation required Jesus plus the Jewish law. But Paul makes it clear: there is only one Gospel, and it cannot be improved, updated, or added to.As Paul meets with the leaders in Jerusalem, the church faces a critical test that would shape the future of the Gospel. Through this passage, Jake highlights three powerful realities that must remain present if the church is going to stay healthy and faithful to Jesus: Gospel Alignment, Gospel Freedom, and Gospel Mission.When the Gospel is clear, the church stays aligned around the truth of salvation through Christ alone. When grace is understood, believers experience freedom from trying to earn God's approval. And when the Gospel truly takes hold of our hearts, it sends us into the world—and into our everyday lives—with purpose.This message is a powerful reminder that the Gospel isn't just the starting point of the Christian life—it's the center of it. And when grace transforms us, it reshapes how we live, how we follow Jesus, and how we carry His mission into our homes, workplaces, and communities.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Thanks, ChatGPT, for the podcast description below, in the style of J. Peterman.   Somewhere between Willow Grove and the low skies of the Netherlands… two men misplaced their plan — and found something far better. This is not an episode. It is a wandering. It begins, as many modern pilgrimages do, in a warehouse in Pennsylvania — the mythic stronghold of Steve Weiss Music — where, once upon a time, paper catalogs arrived like sacred manuscripts and snare drums were cushioned in the Sunday Philadelphia classifieds. Rooms and rooms of instruments. Hand-packed boxes. The faint perfume of newsprint and ambition. There are Pearl Musical Instrument Company Philharmonic snare drums under fluorescent light. An Evans Drumheads pull-cord drum key that growls like a lawnmower in spring. A hanger drum once owned by Steve himself. The whispered possibility of a showroom yet to be built — a temple to mallets, tambourines, and tap shoes. And then — inevitably — the catalog. Not just any catalog. The sort made famous by Seinfeld and the indomitable J. Peterman, where a pair of brogues begins at Waterloo and a tunic vibrates with contentment beside a Peruvian river. Our hosts linger here, turning pages in memory. The purple edition. The beige edition. Eight-thousand-dollar marimbas before eight thousand felt like eight hundred thousand. The slow seduction of browsing. The thrill of ordering mallets softer than soft simply because they existed. But the road bends. Across the Atlantic, in Eindhoven, the drums begin to gather again for the Tromp International Percussion Competition — reborn, reimagined, restless. This is not merely a contest of velocity and vertical leap. It is portraiture. A black-box confession. A curated vision. Thirty minutes of artistic autobiography. A commissioned work placed like a compass needle at the center of a recital. A final collaboration with a visual artist — sound made visible, rhythm given silhouette. There are jurors with reputations forged in rosewood and resonance. There are young players on the brink of becoming leaders. There is the eternal question: when we crown someone “winner,” what are we truly naming? Somewhere in Delaware, between traffic and technique, a clinic titled Supercharging Your Marimba Technique hums with improbable confidence. There are jokes about turbocharged mallets and Philips Sonicare tremolo sticks. There is earnestness beneath the humor — the quiet desire to help another musician unlock something freer than grip and freer than fear. And woven throughout: a gentle anxiety about judging. About applications. About the strange modern ritual of compressing one's artistic soul into a recording file and sending it into the digital void. This episode roams. It laughs. It speculates about Olympic scoring and the metaphysics of cookies. It remembers the thrill of a first competition and the ache of waiting four years to try again. It is, above all, a catalogue entry for a moment in time — when two percussionists, temporarily out of their dens, take inventory of what matters: Curiosity. Community. Craft. And the lingering hope that somewhere, in a warehouse or a black box theatre, someone is still turning pages.

Host Andrew Camp welcomes Amar Peterman, a constructive/public theologian, to discuss Peterman's forthcoming book, "Becoming Neighbors: the Common Good Made Local" (Eerdmans), releasing March 12. Amar argues the common good must be built locally by actually knowing and loving the people across the street, rather than assuming a universal or national common good. Using the potluck table as the book's guiding metaphor, Peterman contrasts potluck with the “melting pot,” emphasizing that people bring distinct “dishes” (stories, beliefs, traditions) that can be appreciated alongside one another in a shared, community-owned space where everyone is both host and guest. They address why interfaith engagement matters, warning that a “common good” good only for one group becomes tyranny, Christian nationalism, or authoritarianism. Drawing on Augustine's “use and enjoyment,” Peterman cautions against using neighbors or the table instrumentally and argues neighbors are to be enjoyed as ends in themselves in God; he critiques control and domination as things wrongly treated as ends. Peterman outlines practices of neighbor love—compassion, humility, translation, resonance (via Hartmut Rosa), lament, and accompaniment (via Paul Farmer, Partners in Health, and Gustavo Gutiérrez), presenting accompaniment as long-term, dignifying companionship rather than short-term charity. They discuss joy as intertwined with hope and resurrection while rejecting shallow “happy” platitudes that avoid lament, and they reflect on compost and gardening as slow, local work that can yield surprising “new life” beyond one's control. Amar D.

He is the founder of Scholarship for Religion and Society LLC, and the former assistant director of civic networks at Interfaith America.

Amar D. Peterman joins Will to discuss his forthcoming book Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local — a constructive vision for how Christians might practice radical neighbour love in a world that often rewards self-sufficiency and tribalism.Born in India and raised between a Polish Catholic neighborhood and a white evangelical megachurch in Wisconsin, Amar knows what it's like to be a spiritual misfit. Now a PhD student at the University of Chicago and former assistant director of civic networks at Interfaith America, he's asking Christians a simple but radical question: What if we actually came to the table and loved our neighbours?"What will we be to each other if the world doesn't end? When we believe our entire future depends on the outcome of an election or policy, we'll justify almost anything. But if we live knowing we'll still be neighbors tomorrow, it changes how we show up today."Resources:- Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local by Amar D.

"I think the greatest thing about being a priest is seeing God work in people's lives." Fr. Craig Giera welcomes Fr. Derik Peterman, pastor of St. Anne Parish, to share his vocation story. Fr. Peterman reflects on an early encounter with God at age 10 and how he found his way back to the sacraments in college. He also offers wisdom for young men discerning the priesthood and insight into the joy of watching God work through priestly ministry.(0:23) Fr. Craig introduces Fr. Derik Peterman and reflects on the blessings of parish life as Advent approaches. Fr. Peterman shares how he has witnessed many people returning to the sacraments, especially through confession, and reflects on how modern secular culture may be influencing some of these conversions.(5:52) Fr. Peterman traces his vocation back to an experience at age 10, when he felt the palpable presence of God. This encounter planted a seed that would remain with him throughout his life, even though he did not yet know how to respond.(11:21) Fr. Peterman recalls participating in high school sports, academics, friendships, and dating, all while the thought of the priesthood quietly lingered in the background. He was active in track and field, excelled in math and science, and participated in the parish youth group largely for its social aspect.(15:33) At Michigan State University, Fr. Peterman competed as a pole vaulter while studying physics. He was invited into a non-denominational Bible study that reawakened his faith and helped him encounter Jesus as a real person.(20:04) Though enriched by Scripture study, Fr. Peterman felt something missing and was drawn back to the Catholic Church and the Eucharist. On his first Sunday back at Mass, he heard an announcement for a priestly discernment group, a moment he recognized as God's unmistakable invitation.(26:46) As college progressed, Fr. Peterman faced the pivotal decision between marriage and seminary. He ultimately chose to enter the seminary, but had to navigate some resistance from non-Catholic family members. (48:43) As he got into his seminary studies, Fr. Peterman began to understand the harmony between faith and reason. He shares how his scientific training helped him approach philosophy and theology, drawing on a line from the Catechism of the Catholic Church that says that truth cannot contradict truth. (53:06) Fr. Peterman describes the greatest joy of the priesthood as witnessing God actively work in people's lives. He gives advice to men discerning the priesthood: do not be afraid, bring fears to prayer, and take concrete steps forward while discerning.

Peterman to talk about his new book, Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local. Amar reflects on his experience as an Indian American adoptee formed across Catholic, evangelical, and interfaith spaces, and how those tensions shaped his understanding of belonging, faith, and the common good.We explore why “neighbor” is an active practice rather than a passive label, how shared tables create space for real relationship across difference, and why listening, lament, and accompaniment matter more than efficiency or winning arguments. The conversation moves from theology to lived practice, grounding big ideas like evangelism, interfaith dialogue, and Christian witness in everyday, local relationships.Becoming Neighbors: The Common Good Made Local -https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9780802884121Guest BioAmar D.

Avoidance of accountability does not blow your business up overnight. It quietly lowers the bar, one unchecked behavior at a time. Peterman's Andrew Hasty walks through why avoiding accountability is one of the most dangerous dysfunctions on a team and how it slowly creates a culture of mediocrity in HVAC, plumbing, and home service businesses. Using real stories from the field and everyday life, this episode shows how "little" things like late arrivals, missing equipment data, sloppy paperwork, and skipped debriefs are not one-off issues. They are signals that standards are slipping and that leaders are choosing personal comfort over team success. If there is a tech coasting, a teammate with endless excuses, or a high performer who ignores process because "they produce," this episode will help frame and initiate the conversations that have been avoided for too long.

Decembet 28th, 2025 | Standalone | Genesis 15As the year comes to a close, Jake Peterman walks us through Genesis 15 to remind us of a truth we often forget in seasons of waiting: God's promises may move ahead of our understanding, but He never leaves His people behind.Through the story of Abram, this message speaks to the tension between what God has promised and what we can currently see. Abram believes God—yet still asks questions. He trusts—yet still waits. And in that space of uncertainty, God doesn't withdraw. He draws nearer. Jake shows how God's faithfulness is not proven by quick fulfillment, but by His steady presence in the middle of unanswered prayers, delayed hope, and unfinished stories.This episode connects the covenant God makes with Abram to the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises through Jesus, reminding us that our confidence rests not in our performance, but in who God is. Whether you're ending the year celebrating, grieving, exhausted, hopeful, or unsure of what comes next, this message offers a grounded reminder that God has been faithful—and He still is.If you're navigating uncertainty, wrestling with questions, or learning how to trust God when clarity hasn't come yet, this episode will anchor your faith in the unchanging character of a promise-keeping God.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Home service owners are pouring money into marketing and still watching the call board swing from "overbooked" to "crickets." In this special Around the CAMPfire takeover on Can't Stop the Growth, CAMP Digital founder Katie Donovan sits down with Matt Murray, CMO and Head of Innovation at Peterman Brothers, to unpack how Peterman built a growth engine that actually matches demand to capacity. Matt shares how Peterman uses real-time data, capacity-aligned marketing, and tight alignment between operations and marketing to keep techs busy, CSRs confident, and ad spend pointed at the right services in the right markets. The conversation digs into brand, trust, community presence, and what it really looks like to scale from "just keep the board full" to a disciplined, repeatable growth system. For HVAC, plumbing, and trade leaders, this is a playbook for turning chaos into control: how to use capacity dashboards, speed-to-lead, and transparent scoreboards so the entire team knows the score and how to win. Matt also talks about shop tours, learning from other contractors, and why calm, clear leadership matters more as the business grows.

Some surprising school delays and closing coming in, even if it’s “not snowing at your house.” Peterman was hilarious at the dog show. An emu gets loose in Norwich, but we got ’em. Terrible Christmas movies & so much more on a Thursdee!

Lane Kiffin officially bailed on Ole Miss for LSU, and the villain era is fully back. Tonight we run through every piece of chaos: the podcaster line that set Kiffin off, the Jerry Maguire “who's coming with me?” moment with his staff, fans booing him at the airport, and all the tea Ole Miss fans are suddenly spilling: dog rumors, yoga class stories, disappearing messages, the whole mess. Plus: Mike torches the Notre Dame/Miami “who deserves it more” debate, the ACC's ridiculous lobbying, the playoff criteria should get even weirder, and why this whole thing might finally force Notre Dame into a conference. We hit Wiseguy's Top 10 for Week 14, Eagles fans egging their OC's house, the Wieners Circle hot dog stunt after Ben Johnson went shirtless, Shelby Harris calling Jauan Jennings a ho, and Tyrese Maxey doing the Dog Show while Peterman refuses to go away.

John O’Hurley is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would John be doing if not for being an actor, game show host, bestselling author, and the man forever remembered as J. Peterman from Seinfeld? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been selling Ballpoint Pens over the phone like Johnny Depp, or shucking corn for $4 an hour like Cindy Crawford. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.

Twin Cities radio legend Mary Lucia talks T-Wovles, Stones and her new book (out today!) Plus, J. Peterman himself John O'Hurley on 25 years hosting the National Dog Show, one of his most memorable contestant flubs on Family Feud and the funny thing that happened right before he took the part on Seinfeld, and you get all fired up about the best way to prep potatoes.

Peterman Brothers' Andrew Hasty unpacks Commitment #4 from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: Create Win-for-All Solutions. Andrew draws a powerful parallel between history and leadership using the Treaty of Versailles and the aftermath of World War I to show how "win–lose" thinking always backfires. He challenges leaders in the trades to move beyond short-term victories and build systems where everyone: customer, field professional, and the company — can win together. Through real stories from the Peterman team, Andrew shows why loyalty to outcomes, not rigid processes, leads to better results and a stronger culture. He breaks down the four keys to "win for all" leadership: candor, abundance, allyship, and curiosity, and reminds every leader that their people's failures are theirs to own and their successes are theirs to celebrate.

Own the Failures, Give Away the Wins: A true leader takes responsibility when things go wrong and gives credit when they go right.

For Melissa Peterman, the first season of NBC's Happy's Place was a dream come true; getting a second season is an embarrassment of riches. “Getting a pilot is the lottery. Getting that pilot picked up is another gigantic win that is getting rarer and rarer.” Peterman plays Gabby, friend and co-worker of Bobbie, played by Reba McEntire, owner of the fictional tavern Happy's Place. The sitcom reunites Peterman and McEntire, who first appeared together on Reba. “I think there is value in the second banana. There's value in the sidekick.” While fans see her as way more than just a sidekick, Peterman knows how rare it is to get a second chance with a hit sitcom. “It's almost more precious because I know how rare it is to get a second chance with your best friend.” Busier than ever, Peterman also co-hosts Hallmark's Finding Mr. Christmas. “I would be really sad if I didn't get to host a game show or go be with people. I genuinely like people.” Subscribe to my newsletter: https://link.newsweek.com/join/for-the-culture Follow me: https://linktr.ee/halanscott Subscribe to Newsweek's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/newsweek See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

September 7th, 2025 | Fortify | Ephesians 5:15-16Parenting teenagers in 2025 isn't the same as it was in 1995. The culture has shifted, the pressure has intensified, and the voices shaping our kids are louder—and more deceptive—than ever.In this crucial message, Jake Peterman continues our family series by addressing one of the most important and urgent topics in the life of the church today: raising the next generation in a world that's spiritually dark, morally confused, and digitally discipling our kids every day.Anchored in Matthew 10:16 and Ephesians 5:15–16, Jake unpacks what it means to walk in wisdom, parent with intentionality, and engage in the spiritual battle happening right now for the hearts and minds of our teenagers. In This Episode you'll find:Why protecting your kids is not enough—you have to prepare themWhat it means to be “wise as serpents, innocent as doves” in a digital ageHow to model godliness in a culture of compromiseThe difference between sheltering and shepherdingReal stats and honest answers from today's teensPractical wisdom for setting boundaries, having hard conversations, and making your home a place of discipleship—not just disciplineWhether you're a parent, future parent, or someone who simply cares about the next generation—you have a role to play. The wolves don't look like wolves anymore… so we can't afford to parent without discernment.Don't miss the call to pray boldly, live intentionally, and lead your family with wisdom in a world that's desperate for truth.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Brian Peterman and his wife took advantage of a pilot program in Chicago that allows for the creation of accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in designated zones within the city. After nearly two years of planning, working through regulatory hurdles, and construction, they completed a coach house in their backyard. In 2023, Brian's mother-in-law moved into the coach house, allowing her to spend time with her young granddaughter on a daily basis.

July 6th, 2025 | The Love of God | 1 John 2:18-28In this episode, Jake Peterman continues our series on The Love of God—but with a twist we don't always expect. Because sometimes, the most loving thing God can do… is warn us.Drawing from 1 John 2, Jake walks us through a powerful call to discernment in a world where spiritual-sounding ideas are often poor substitutes for Jesus. This isn't just about recognizing lies—it's about recognizing the slow, subtle drift from truth, even within the church.With the heart of a spiritual father, John gives us three spiritual realities to stay anchored in the face of deception:The Drift – When conviction becomes suggestion.The Divide – The line between knowing Jesus and merely knowing about Him.The Defense – How to remain rooted in the truth through the power of the Spirit.If we're not connected to the real Jesus, we'll eventually settle for something that looks like Him but doesn't save like Him.This is a wake-up call for the faithful—and a timely reminder that abiding in Jesus isn't passive. It's the only way to stand firm.Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠
