Having played 2 Truths and A Lie, we hear from Laura Harris on the topic of God's Grace in the first talk of the new series: What's So Amazing About Grace? With reference to John 1 v 17. Grace is the foundation for so much of the Christian life. In John's gospel, we read: 'From his fullness we have all received grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.' We live in a time where ideas around grace and truth are hotly debated. This series explores how the bible's ancient wisdom is still relevant, powerful and essential, as we navigate following Jesus in our complex world.
Life, Death, Poetry & Peace with Philip YanceyLife has changed dramatically in the 400 years since John Donne wrote his Devotions. Yet despite the advances of the intervening centuries, we find that, like Donne, we are still subject to sickness and death. We still long for comfort. We still want to know what God is saying to us.Author Philip Yancey has found surprisingly relevant answers to these perennial questions in the works of John Donne. Updating the great poet's work for modern readers in his book UNDONE: A Modern Rendering of John Donne's Devotions, Yancey has given us a devotional treasure, particularly for those in the midst of trial and suffering:God is on the side of the sufferer. And that's so important. When I go to places like Virginia Tech or Columbine in my backyard here in Colorado or various places and talk about pain and suffering, it's just an important point to get across. And I know that's true because God gave us a face. God showed us what God is like in human form. - Philip YanceyThis is a conversation rich with insights into the problem of pain and the human condition, and full of comfort as we get a clearer picture of God in the face of Jesus. We hope that it encourages you deeply and that you'll share it with others.This is podcast is an edited version of an online conversation recorded in 2024.

In 1997, when Philip Yancey submitted his manuscript to his publisher, he had serious doubts that his new offering (which followed his popular book, The Jesus I Never Knew) would find an audience. He knew his evangelical readers. In Yancey's mind, the chapters on a Democrat President (Bill Clinton) and a fellow author who “came out” as gay (Mel White), would not set well - especially when he called for “grace.” To his surprise, What's So Amazing About Grace became his best-seller. Today, 25 years later, Philip and his publishers agree. The need to apprehend and exhibit grace is greater today than ever in our polarized world. After making some revisions - mainly updates - the book has been released. Ken welcomes back one of his favorite guests. After reminiscing over some good times together, they talk about the book. Better - they talk about grace. Amazing grace. Yancey shares his growing-up years - the racism that dominated his church, his neighborhood, and his Southern state (Georgia). They talk about his friendship with Bill Clinton, who read his books and regularly met with Philip's friends, Tony Campolo and Gordon McDonald. They explore his friendship with Mel White, who for years was the ghostwriter for high-profile evangelical leaders: Francis Schaeffer, Billy Graham, Pat Robertson, Oliver North, Jim and Tammy Faye Baker, W.A. Criswell and Jerry Falwell and more. After years of depression, hiding, reparative therapy, and self-loathing, Mel came to terms with his identity. Philip was there; dispensing grace.Back in the 90's, PBS's Bill Moyers produced a documentary - Amazing Grace - that beloved hymn. Yancey was moved by that hour long exploration of the hymn's universal appeal. Moyers tells the story of the writer, John Newton, a brutal slave trader, who wrote the words: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” Yancey agrees, Newton was indeed a wretch. By grace, he ultimately became a fervent abolitionist. That's what grace can do.What's So Amazing About Grace?

Quite a Lenten poem, eh? For Western listeners, we are in the last week of Lent before Holy Week, first week for our Eastern brethren.Meeting here in Lententide, we thought it would be a good time for a conversation about someone who has reflected deeply on sin, suffering, pain, and the faithful presence of God.

Where and how did he find God with him? TLC had the joy of talking with Philip Yancey about his new book, a modern paraphrase of Devotions called Undone, and about Phillip's own story, particularly as it relates to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease.Philip Yancey has explored questions and mysteries of the Christian faith for decades in best-selling works such as Disappointment with God, Where is God When it Hurts?, and What's So Amazing About Grace? Philip has written more than 25 books, and his latest release is Undone: A Modern Rendering of John Donne's Devotions. Philip and his wife live in the foothills of Colorado.

What is so amazing about grace? That's the question author Philip Yancey started with when he wrote the book by that title, What's So Amazing About Grace, published in 1997. It went on to sell over 2 million copies. And now, 25 years later, Philip Yancey has released a revised version—updated for the modern day. As the author of 13 Gold Medallion Award-winning books and two ECPA Book of the Year awards, including for What's So Amazing About Grace, Philip will tell you some things never change. As he writes, “Grace is the church's great distinctive. It's the one thing the world cannot duplicate, and the one thing it craves above all else—for only grace can bring hope and transformation to a jaded world.” What does it look like in action? Grace does not excuse sin, he says, but it treasures the sinner. True grace is shocking, scandalous. It shakes our conventions with its insistence on getting close to sinners and touching them with mercy and hope. How can Christians contend graciously with moral issues that threaten all they hold dear? And how can we become living answers to a world that desperately wants to know, What's So Amazing About Grace? And could use a whole lot more of it. EPISODE SHOWNOTES: Read more. BE AFFIRMED.

Join me for another incredible conversation with New York Times Bestselling author, Philip Yancey!We had a great talk about his book What's So Amazing About Grace?, which is now available in a revised and updated 25th anniversary edition. From Amazon:OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD!It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and a foretaste of eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace.Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's startling exploration of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the healing force we need, and the key to transforming a broken world.In his personal and provocative book, Yancey offers true portraits of grace's life-changing power. These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as: If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it? How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Can grace make a difference in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and how can it withstand the brutality of hate? With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?From Philip:What's So Amazing About Grace? has been in print for over 25 years.In that time I have received several thousand letters of response. Mostly, they tell stories. The man who shot John Lennon, now studying the Bible in a New York prison. An Emmy-winning actress working to heal wounds from childhood. The rock band U2, who studied the book together.U2's lead singer, Bono, had the most concise summary: “When you boil it down, the universe runs by either Karma or Grace. I'd be in big trouble if Karma was going to finally be my judge. I'm holding out for Grace.”I have made changes throughout the original text, mainly by updating old examples and references. This edition also includes a reflection guide consisting of questions that make the application more personal. I hope that a new generation of readers discover for themselves what's so amazing about grace. I am more convinced than ever that the United States and the world need a massive infusion of it.

The Senate is relaxing its dress code so senators can wear hoodies and gym shorts, but senate staffers are still required to wear suits and ties. Is it a meaningless change or the sign of wider institutional decay? A new study finds 7 out of 10 pastors say their congregations are more fearful about the world and the future. Are they really being shaped by the gospel of Christ or by the fearmongers in the media? And researchers asked religious Americans, what's the bigger problem today—actual racism or false accusations of racism? The responses are telling. Then, author Philip Yancey is back for the 25th anniversary of his best-selling book, “What So Amazing About Grace?” He says our culture is even more divided and condemning than when he first wrote the book in the 1990s, and he examines why grace has fallen out of favor even among Christians and how to get it back.

Even though it may not feel like it, grief can be a source of great hope. The way that we react against what is wrong comes from a deep desire for things to be made right. Our loss may actually lead to healing and restoration. The Bible assures us that better days are coming when God Himself will wipe every tear from our eyes. “There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain,” it says in Revelation, “for the old order of things has passed away.” (Revelation 21:3-4) Our guests this week have walked through deep and unexpected grief and what even seemed like unfair losses. Best-selling Christian author Philip Yancey uncovered a shocking secret about his father's death while he was still in college, one that illuminated the sometimes overbearing religious convictions of his mother. Yancey shares how he dove into his family's origins and how he ultimately found healing from what he calls “toxic faith.” After nearly thirty years of marriage, author Mike Nappa lost his dear wife, Amy, to cancer. Mike turned to scripture to help him get through the day and to cope with processing his grief—and even today, he sees how grief and joy can coexist.

And then one day you wake up and wonder, Is this just a learned behavior pattern that I have, or is it genuine? Am I really connecting to the God of the universe?“ - Philip Yancey “I started looking for people who were made larger by their faith.“ - Philip Yancey “Don't just give up on God because of the way God may have been presented to you. It's worth that quest to try to find who God really is and to find that God loves you. And God indeed does imagine a role for you on this earth that no one else has. That's why we were created. We were created in God's image to reflect something of God back to others.” - Philip Yancey “There's nothing that you can do to get God to love you more. No amount of spiritual calisthenics, no amount of trying to be more spiritual than everybody else—there's nothing you can do for God to love you less.” - Philip Yancey “God wants to remake us in a way that's good for us. God wants to restore us. God wants to give us a calling, a reason for being, a reason to live on this planet, and grace is the attitude that God has toward us all the time.” - Philip Yancey “I understand that God is really who He said He was, just like I thought He was before, in the moments of great joy and in the moments of great sorrow. And He is always near in the moments of great joy, and when it gets hard, He doesn't step back and run away. He'll just stand there and stay with you.” - Mike Nappa “The grief that we have is not something to be thrown aside any more than love would be thrown aside. The grief that we have is something to visit and understand and take value and take benefit from.” - Mike Nappa “I don't have to be consumed by grief. It can just be part of who I am as I also experience joy and happiness.” - Mike Nappa ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Philip Yancey has been a great friend and mentor for me for years.(Replay of Season 7, Episode 40)Getting to talk to Richard Foster last week made me think of my friend Philip Yancey, and how our last talk on the podcast was so inspiring. I thought I'd bring this great talk back to you today as a bookend to the Richard Foster episode. Philip's books have helped millions of us search out the path to faith and hope again after life brings us pain. He's one of the first people who gets a call when something terrible happens- Sandy Hook, Virginia Tech, Columbine- because he helps people honestly answer the questions such tragedies provoke, and to find hope again. Philip was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that causes a variety of issues with postural control, balance, steadiness and speed of movement, tremor, and other issues. And all those years of helping others look into their troubles and hold onto faith have prepared him for his own.This talk covers a lot of ground, from deconstruction to chronic illness, evil and suffering, church abuse, to finding strength in the community of the church. It's inspiring, encouraging, and it will help you hold on, no matter what is happening in your life. Be sure to check out drleewarren.substack.com for more!My four all-time favorite Philip Yancey books:* Where the Light Fell: A Memoir is Philip's intensely personal story of how he rebuilt his faith from the ashes of years of church abuse and the discovery of a family secret that devastated him.

Stephanie is delighted to welcome Richard Foster, the author of one of the most influential books in her life, Celebration of Discipline. Today, Richard, with Brenda Quinn, talk about the power of learning humility. He tells Stephanie, “The practice of humility has made me playful and free.” In our culture of raging narcissism, Richard calls humility the "vanishing virtue." He says that practicing humility has been "playful, freeing, fun, and freedom from [his] need to feel important." How wonderful! When Stephanie asks about how to learn humility, Richard answers, “We learn humility by taking up other tasks, like serving others.” Richard explains that humility is a secret gift that keeps on giving. He says, “one of the things we need to learn is to embrace and enjoy anonymity.” Richard encourages us to develop a passion for culture, encouraging each one if us to keep on living at the intersection of culture and Scripture here at Gospel Spice. He says, “look for the finger of God at work through every culture.” He adds, “in every culture there are things that are consonant with Scripture, and some that are dissonant. Our task is to discern among them.” In a society where raging narcissism dominates the moral landscape, the virtue of humility is often dismissed as irrelevant. Not only is humility vanishing from contemporary culture, but we are also witnessing how destructive a lack of humility has become among our churches and ministry leaders. And yet, Richard Foster, the founder of Renovare, insists that humility is central to the journey toward character formation and spiritual transformation. For this reason he decided to spend a year studying the virtue of humility. Using the Lakota calendar as a framework, Foster provides us with a look into the insights he gathered from sources ranging from Native American culture to Julian of Norwich to Scripture to personal friends. By engaging with both the spiritual classics and Foster's own experiences, Learning Humility provides profound insight into what humility can look like in our current cultural climate. Join Richard Foster on Gospel Spice today, and embrace the journey toward a life of humility, which he says leads us into "freedom, joy, and holy hilarity." MEET RICHARD FOSTER Richard Foster is founder, past president and current team member of Renovaré. Having studied at George Fox and Fuller Theological Seminary, Foster has served as a pastor and taught worldwide on spiritual formation. Author of dozens of articles and six books, including Celebration of Discipline, Richard continues to write on the spiritual life. He and his wife, Carolynn, have two grown children, Joel and Nathan, nine grandchildren, and live near Denver, Colorado. Discover more at https://renovare.org/ MEET BRENDA QUINN Brenda Quinn is a pastor of spiritual formation in the Foursquare church and a writer of many years. She is also the author of the character profiles in the Life with God Bible. Brenda Quinn, former staff editor for Serendipity House and editorial coordinator for MOPS International, Inc., is cowriter of study guides for both "The Jesus I Never Knew" and "What's So Amazing About Grace?"

When we sense no purpose, we create purpose. We have to. It's how we are wired. Without purpose, without meaning, without a sense that we are wanted and our contribution is meaningful, we die. But we know all to well that self-created purpose lasts as long as we find interest in it, and it is only as solid as your imagination allows. What we long for, what we sense deep in our bones, what we want to be true even when nothing on earth tells us its true, is that there is something for which we were intended; there is someone for whom we were no accident. What if I told you that you were planned. Purposed. Intended. Chosen. It's true. The sermon today is titled "Wanted." It is the first installment in our "Identity" Series. The Scripture reading is from Genesis 1:26-28 & Psalm 139:13-16. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on February 12, 2023. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.

Welcome to COFFEE with Kim with Host Kim Crabill and Special Guest Candace Kirkpatrick. Topic: What's So Amazing About Grace? You could say Candace Kirkpatrick was born to perform. From childhood, this award-winning actress was constantly jumping through hoops, checking off boxes, striving to please. This pattern suited her career but stunted her growth as a follower of Christ. As much as she longed to understand grace, she kept reverting to trying to earn God's favor by her own efforts instead of resting securely in His love and acceptance. On the next "COFFEE with Kim," Candace tells host Kim Crabill about the transformational moment on a NYC bus when grace took on fresh meaning for her. Her story will move you. It will also help all of us who struggle daily with setting aside the perpetual performance and instead relaxing in God's amazing grace. Enjoying the Conversation?

Episode Description: God Will Heal Your Trauma and Emotional Abuse is a Youtube video I did a few years ago with the same name. I encouraged people that they can heal, God will heal them, and God's radical love is the source of all healing, including any trauma or difficult emotional issues you may be facing. This episode discusses attitudes that can re-traumatize you, how to avoid these, and how being deeply rooted Christ's radical love and grace keeps you safe and heals you, along with doing the right kind of healing work. This episode offers a word of encouragement and a reminder of why we do the healing work, that God's love it radical and his grace is scandalous, and that God will heal your trauma and emotional abuse.

Philip Yancey was deconstructing before deconstructing was cool.Much ado has been made in recent weeks about deconstruction — particularly from pastors and leaders who decry it as "trendy" or a slippery slope to sin. On this episode, Katelyn and Roxy discuss their own experiences questioning the Christian faith, the evangelical church and the teachings handed down to them from both pulpit and pen. They are joined by author Philip Yancey, something of an evangelical darling himself, whose books have long been a guide for the doubting Christian.Plus: some thoughts from the Twitter hive mind on what pastors should know about why people deconstruct.GUEST:Philip Yancey is the author of 25 books, including "The Jesus I Never Knew," "What's So Amazing About Grace?" and his most recent book and first memoir: "Where the Light Fell."See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
If you've participated in a community of faith before, you've probably quickly realized what most people eventually discover- it's filled with a bunch of imperfect people. Whether you go to a megachurch or a local community church, it's not uncommon for us to have experiences that get us more than a little off-kilter and disoriented about our faith. Sometimes, we can even get the wires all crossed and mistake who God is with what people speaking in His name do. The question is, how do we think through our faith and our relationship to the church well? How can we integrate our experiences and rediscover a faith in God that's marked by love and grace? I doubt there's anyone who can speak more wisely about that than Philip Yancey. Philip Yancey has authored over 25 books, in which he has wrestled with God, with the Church, and with fellow believers. After surviving a church background of what he now calls “toxic faith,” he ultimately came to know a God of grace and beauty. With a journalistic, story-telling style, he invites readers to accompany him as he probes the deepest mysteries of the Christian faith, and challenges readers to live as followers of Jesus. Many have done so. His books have sold more than 15 million copies in English, and have been translated into 40 languages worldwide. Philip's bestselling titles include What's So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew. His most recent book is a memoir, Where the Light Fell, released by Convergent Books on October 5th. Philip Yancey and his wife lived in downtown Chicago before moving to the foothills of Colorado, where they enjoy mountain climbing, skiing, wildlife, and many other delights of the Rocky Mountains. P.S. We'd like to extend to you a free month of our exclusive Bob Weekly content. All you have to do is click this link and sign up for a month of video teachings and a guided curriculum. Also on the episode: Producer & Co-host : Scott Schimmel The Dream Big Academy Living a focused, engaged life of love, adventure, and impact shouldn't be a mystery. It's what we're all wired for, it's what we all long for. But, it's not the norm. From all the places I've traveled to and the people I've met, I know that most people don't experience that kind of life. They feel... Like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience. That it should've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't. Frankly, like they're languishing- and this must be as good as it gets. But, there's so much more... That's why we started putting these digital courses together. I can't travel everywhere, and not everyone can travel to me. But, what if there was a way to share life together and walk through these simple ideas I've been learning? Before, we've released these courses one at a time. Then we'd close the registration. But through the pandemic, we learned that a LOT of people want to keep growing, and they're looking for a framework they can trust. So, we put them all together- 6 interactive digital courses. Two specifically designed to help you identify and unleash your big ambitions. One for budding authors. Another for speakers. A course for your family. A course for your career. With more coming in the future. And, since we already have Bob Weekly as a monthly subscription for exclusive content, we threw that in there, too. The...

Philip's bestselling titles include What's So Amazing About Grace? and The Jesus I Never Knew. His most recent book is a memoir, Where the Light Fell, released by Convergent Books on October 5th. Philip Yancey and his wife lived in downtown Chicago before moving to the foothills of Colorado, where they enjoy mountain climbing, skiing, wildlife, and many other delights of the Rocky Mountains.

Also on the episode: Producer & Co-host : Scott Schimmel The Dream Big Academy Living a focused, engaged life of love, adventure, and impact shouldn't be a mystery. It's what we're all wired for, it's what we all long for. But, it's not the norm. From all the places I've traveled to and the people I've met, I know that most people don't experience that kind of life. They feel... Like they're missing out on a different life, a life that others seem to experience. That it should've all just worked out by now, but it hasn't. Frankly, like they're languishing- and this must be as good as it gets. But, there's so much more... That's why we started putting these digital courses together. I can't travel everywhere, and not everyone can travel to me. But, what if there was a way to share life together and walk through these simple ideas I've been learning? Before, we've released these courses one at a time. Then we'd close the registration. But through the pandemic, we learned that a LOT of people want to keep growing, and they're looking for a framework they can trust. So, we put them all together- 6 interactive digital courses. Two specifically designed to help you identify and unleash your big ambitions. One for budding authors. Another for speakers. A course for your family. A course for your career. With more coming in the future. And, since we already have Bob Weekly as a monthly subscription for exclusive content, we threw that in there, too. The...
Philip Yancey is well-known for his bestselling books like What's So Amazing About Grace and Disappointment with God. But behind all of that spiritual wisdom was a family secret: his sick father left the hospital against the doctor's advice, trusting in God to heal him. He wasn't healed. Out of this experience, Philip has wrestled with deep questions of faith, doubt, and suffering. In today's conversation, Philip and I discuss: What it was like growing up in Christian fundamentalism Being wounded by the church The cost of unforgiveness The mystery and hunger of grace This conversation forced me to wonder about how grace works. Perhaps grace, as Philip would say, is a scandal. Because it forces us to think about a love that is unearned, undeserved, and unmerited. All we know sometimes, is that WE need it. So, blessed are we who live here.

The past few years have been difficult for many of us, but each and every one of us carry our own unique walk through life. We all have done the walk or the Christian walk differently and have experienced many different things. Learning about what life looks like through different lenses, especially lives in Christ, can help grow us and can help us navigate our journey with Christ better. Today we gain a perspective on what it is like to grow up around and to live life with the belief that God is legalistic (where to earn His love we must follow a set of tenets only or we are rejected), and the negative effects that belief has on our lives. Then we will hear about how God's grace and mercy apply to our own lives, and how the triune God works. Lastly, we will learn about the transforming work of the Holy Spirit or “sanctification”.

Today we're exploring the reality of grace with a story about my pup, Bailey, and a perfect tuna sandwich. Here are some resources I hope will help you recognize how grace is moving in your one beautiful life. 1. Perfect Tuna Sandwich: half sandwich with chilled tuna, just a hint of mayo on good bread such as marble rye or sourdough. Add crumbled feta, leafy lettuce or spinach, diced English cucumber, and a few grinds of black pepper. Enjoy with a ripe clementine and a handful of potato chips and be blessed! 2. What's So Amazing About Grace, by Phillip Yancey 3. Grace (Eventually): Thoughts On Faith, by Anne Lamott 4. Devotions: Selected Poems from Mary Oliver 5. Gracelaced: Discovering Timeless Truths Through Seasons of the Heart, by Ruth Chou Simons 6. Song: He's Always Been Faithful to Me, by Sara Groves 7. Song: Amazing Grace, by Aretha Franklin 8. Song: Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone), by Chris Tomlin 9. Song: Amazing Grace, Prelude, Traditional, Yo Yo Ma 10: Song: Your Grace Is Enough, Here I Am Lord (Live), by Matt Maher 11. Song: Christ the Lord is With Me, by Steffanie Gretzinger and Amanda Lindsey Cook 12. Journal prompts: How did God come to meet me in this day? As I look back on my life, where have I felt the Hand of God change my path for my good? In what person or book or music did God reveal Himself to me this week? How can I respond to the grace that is offered to me? 13. Just heard of this! Grace Trail in Plymouth, Massachusetts and I'm definitely trying it! If you live in the area, this would make a great walking meditation.
