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.

We're at the end of three weeks exploring what Paul does (and doesn't) say as he describes the Church in Ephesians 5: Submit to one another and upend the Roman household codes. This week, we look at what it means to be the “head” in a relationship.

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?

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?

"Toxic empathy" is in the news, the idea that we can cause harm by being over-sensitive to others. But, wait: Jesus was known for his empathy, even though he wasn't easy on sin.

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.

We are excited to bring you a three-part series of Peace Talks where we focus on formation, justice, and peace from the perspective of the season of Advent. Mariah Humphries is joined by Suzie Lind, pastor and CenterFJP Board member, and Katie Mullin, Director of Content and Community, for three conversations that explore how the coming of Jesus impacts how we think about formation, justice, and peace.Our first conversation mines the phrase "Advent begins in the dark" for its implications on our own spiritual formation. We wrestle with the concepts of empire, joyful resistance, and hope in the darkness.» About Our Guest:Suzie Lind serves as the Formation Pastor with Journey Church, an interdenominational community in Brentwood, Tennessee. She accidentally stepped into church ministry in 2002 when she was looking for a part-time job that would allow her to stay home with her kids. It was then that she recognized her deep desire to help the Church become what it was always meant to be - a collection of broken people meant to bring hope and joy to a wounded world. She spends her time guiding people through their spiritual formation and developing leaders. Her greatest joy is seeing people's love for Jesus fuel their daily rhythms of life. Suzie is also currently pursuing an MA in Theology through Fuller Theological Seminary. She lives in Franklin, TN, with her husband Steve and four sons.» Subscribe to PEACE TALKS Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/peace-talks/id1590168616» About the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace:Justice and peace come from the inside out—from the overflow of a transformed heart. This belief led our founder, Bishop Todd Hunter, to start the Center for Formation, Justice and Peace in 2021. The Center brings together a diverse, interdenominational community of people who want to be formed in love to heal a broken world. Because “religion” is often part of the problem, we've created a brave, Jesus-centered space for dialogue, questioning, creating, and exploration.

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) ?

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?

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.

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're examining Jesus' examples of creative resistance--turning the other cheek, going the extra mile and giving your enemy the shirt AND cloak off your back. As Mike Erre taught on Sunday, these aren't passive responses but rather ways of resisting without resorting to violence.

In her wrap-up to our “Social Distortion” series, Suzie Lind wondered about being Spirit led. We know about the early Christians described in Acts and more recent movements like the Azusa Street Revival and the Jesus People Movement. Could events like that ever happen in today's world? Or, what would it look like for a modern community to be led by the Spirit? Tim Timmons, Betsy Raney and a secret guest join Suzie to explore their bourne again identities in community.

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.

As we continue to study the attitudes and practices behind bad religion, a special surprise guest  joins regulars Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons to explore manipulative evangelism. How can we live out Jesus-following lives that attract others without asserting power? Also: Is it ever right (or Christ-like)  to enforce power over others for a good reason? TIMESTAMPS 00:45 Let the banter begin 01:40 Highway to heaven. Or Kevin. 03:01 Question: Why do we leave a seat empty at this table? 04:05 The name game: Ace, Tom and the Eye of Zahra 05:42 Response: But, actually, it's the mother of Q&R 10:35 Simply the best: This week's transition to content comes smooth, like a river deep or a mountain high --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/journeychurch/support

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?
