Podcasts by Series Level One Book Study Level Two Book Study “You will find God when you find your true self, and you find yourself when you find God.” Henri Nouwen "The purpose of the contemplative life is the perfection of love.” St Thomas Aquinas “Listening is so much like loving, that most people can't tell the difference.” Today, Autumn Domingue joins us again on the podcast to explore the contemplative method—what it is and how it fits into the history of the Church, as well as its place within the rich tradition of CGS. She also guides us through practical tools for becoming a more contemplative listener and responder.

The Religious Potential of the Child is not a “how-to” book, complete with lesson plans and material ideas. Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many. The work of many hands has combined to bring this release to life as an audiobook.

And yes… a Delilah impression may or may not have made its way in.

Dr. Howell talks with Rev. Kate Murphy, pastor of The Grove in Charlotte and author of Lost, Hidden, Small: Finding the Way of Jesus Where We Never Think to Look.

Murphy earned both an M.Div. and an STM from Boston University School of Theology.
More Than a Meal – Pt. 3 | Look Around“This is my body… this is my blood.” — Jesus (Matthew 26:26–28)Communion isn't just something we think about — it's something we participate in. In Part 3 of our More Than a Meal series, Pastor CJ Witkoe invites us to stop overthinking, slow down, and look around at what Jesus is actually doing in communion.When Jesus said, “This is my body… this is my blood,” He took the familiar symbolism of the Passover meal and radically redefined it. No longer shaped by the lamb of Egypt, the bread and cup now point to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.In this message you'll discover:

Get early access to all of the 2025 RENEW Gathering Breakout Tracks: https://reallifetheologypodcast.supercast.com/ Visit RENEW.org for great resources on Disciple Making and Theology. Today's episode will help us thrive in our calling by learning from personal experiences on understanding burnout, maintaining health, and multiplying our unique gifts without burning out. In the episode titled "Thrive in your Calling: Multiplying Disciples without Burning Out," the speaker, Christian, begins by expressing gratitude for participating in the workshop, emphasizing its purpose is to help attendees orient themselves towards where they want to go. He introduces his family and their extensive experience leading churches and doing missionary work around the world. Christian shares his unique and tumultuous life story, detailing how his early life as a refugee and his diverse experiences across various countries shaped him. He describes significant hardships, such as being in a concentration camp, experiencing poverty, and undergoing multiple relocations. Despite these challenges, he pursued education in economics and a successful career in music, eventually becoming a pop star. However, at the height of his success, he faced clinical depression, which led him to Christianity. His conversion prompted a dramatic career change to ministry work, where he found new purpose and fulfillment. He later experienced a midlife crisis which forced him to recalibrate and reassess various aspects of his life, leading to a significant revival in his professional and personal life. The episode transitions to his wife, Deb, who shares her perspective on their life in Russia, dealing with her health issues exacerbated by the climate, and experiencing burnout. She emphasizes the importance of self-care and spiritual health, sharing practical steps she took to manage her wellbeing and avoid burnout. Deb outlines the stages of burnout, explaining the emotional and physical symptoms of each phase, and underscores the importance of rest, margin time, and maintaining a healthy routine. Christian then introduces three key shifts for thriving in one's calling without burning out. The first shift involves moving from survival mode to a state of clarity, creativity, and resilience, emphasizing the need to switch from fear-based living to one fueled by God's love and power. He illustrates this point using the relationship between Paul and Timothy, highlighting the importance of recognizing and nurturing one's specific gifts. The second shift focuses on identifying one's unique strengths and turning them into undeniable authority. Christian stresses that many ministry leaders lose their individuality by conforming to general roles, and he uses the parable of the talents to illustrate the necessity of multiplying one's gifts rather than burying them. He warns against rationalizations and excuses, urging leaders to take responsibility for their unique contributions. The final shift is to multiply one's gifts before multiplying disciples. He explains that effective discipleship stems from leaders who have developed and scaled their unique gifts. This involves creating systems and frameworks that allow their influence to be replicated and extended beyond their immediate reach. He underscores the potential for modern technology to vastly expand one's impact. The episode includes a testimonial from Greg, a ministry leader who experienced significant personal and professional transformation through Christian's coaching program. Greg highlights the positive changes in his marriage and ministry, attributing them to the reframing and intentionality fostered by the program. Christian concludes by offering further resources and support for those interested in deeper involvement, including a coaching cohort and an intensive workshop aimed at providing practical steps for implementing the discussed shifts. He encourages attendees to invest in their personal development to sustain their calling and avoid burnout.

Joshua 3recounts the Israelites' crossing of the Jordan River, where they consecrated themselves in preparation for a miracle. As the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the river, the water stopped flowing upstream, and the entire nation crossed to the Promised Land on dry ground. This event demonstrated God's power and faithfulness, with the priests remaining in the river until everyone had crossed. Preparation: Before crossing, Joshua told the people to "consecrate yourselves" because the Lord was going to perform wonders.The Crossing: At Joshua's command, the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant stepped into the flooding Jordan River.The Miracle: As soon as their feet touched the water, the river stopped flowing upstream at the city of Adam, allowing the entire nation of Israel to cross on dry ground.Symbolism: The miracle was a sign to the people that God was with them and would help them conquer the land, fulfilling His promises.Lasting Memorial: After the crossing, Joshua instructed the people to take twelve stones from the riverbed to create a memorial for future generations to remember this event.

The Self We Think We Are" looks at Peter's bold claim and Jesus' sobering correction in John 13:37–38. This episode confronts our spiritual self-deception, the church culture that encourages it, and the Gospel reality that Christ knows us better than we know ourselves—and loves us anyway.

What is God's will for humanity? Is it found in Genesis 1 and 2, or does Genesis 3 reveal something deeper? In this episode, Mike and Tim tackle "The Mystery of God's Will" by unpacking Genesis 3 and exploring how God's ideal will contrasts with the realities of a fallen world. With a focus on themes like cruciformity, faith, and navigating cultural challenges, the conversation dives into questions about suffering, the role of ideologies, and how theology shapes our understanding of justice and faith. The hosts discuss how God's will operates within suboptimal conditions, the complexities of prayer, and how Jesus challenges simplistic moral frameworks. They also examine the role of the church in society and the intersections of faith and politics, offering insights on how Christians can engage with cultural issues while holding space for mystery, tension, and humility in their faith. Join the conversation as they challenge common assumptions about God's nature, human suffering, and the role of theology in understanding our world.

On the last four episodes of the Profile, we have discussed the importance of understanding and living in accordance with the fact that we as human beings are intentionally created by God, in His image. When we lose sight of this central truth about our humanity, much moral and societal confusion and many evils will soon follow. If naturalism is true, then morality and virtue are mere sentiments, not anything objectively true or real. Literary scholar and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis recognized what individual and cultural consequences would follow in the wake of moral relativism. On this episode of Apologetics Profile, we discuss C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man with Lewis scholar and author Dr. Michael Ward and how Lewis's thoughts are still very much relevant for our time. From michaelward.netMichael Ward is an English literary critic and theologian. He works at the University of Oxford where he is an associate member of the Faculty of Theology and Religion. He is the author of the award-winning and best-selling Planet Narnia: The Seven Heavens in the Imagination of C.S. Lewis (Oxford University Press) and of After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man (Word on Fire Academic); he is the co-editor of The Cambridge Companion to C.S. Lewis (Cambridge University Press). Though based at Oxford in his native England, Dr Ward is also employed as Professor of Apologetics at Houston Christian University, Texas, teaching one course per semester as part of the online MA program in Christian Apologetics.Free Four-Page Articles From Watchman FellowshipCharles Darwin Carl Sagan's CosmosNaturalism Deconstruction FREE: We are also offering a subscription to our 4-page bimonthly Profiles here: www.watchman.org/Free.PROFILE NOTEBOOK: Order the complete collection of Watchman Fellowship Profiles (over 600 pages -- from Astrology to Zen Buddhism) in either printed or PDF formats here: www.watchman.org/notebook.

Do you ever feel left out, overlooked, or like you don't quite belong? In a world where loneliness is at an all-time high, what if the belonging you've been searching for has already been given to you? In today's conversation, Dr. Carmen Joy Imes invites us to rediscover God's vision for community and connection. In her new book, Becoming God's Family, Carmen helps us see how the Bible reshapes our understanding of belonging—not as something we achieve, but as a gift we receive in Christ.

As therapists, we often get questions like, "Why did ______ have to happen? What did I do to make it happen? Why did God allow this to happen to me?" Suffering is the one thing we all do not want to experience, yet it is the one thing we are all guaranteed to experience. Knowing this, it is important to know why and also how we are to engage in suffering. Join Aron Strong and Lindsey Castleman, both LMFTs and co-founders of inRelationship, as they discuss the theology of suffering. Our conversation kept going, so we broke it up in to part one and part two. We pray this is helpful! Connect with us at inRelationship.us
November 16, 2025 Dr. David Pacini, Professor Emeritus of Historical and Philosophical Theology at Candler School of Theology, leads this three-part series.Christian nationalism has become a common phrase in our public life, but it's often misunderstood. These misunderstandings shape how we see both our faith and our country—and can make it harder to recognize the deeper religious questions it raises.For three Sundays (November 2, 9, and 16), we explore what Christian nationalism actually is and why it stirs such strong feelings in us.First, we cleared away some of the confusion surrounding the term—especially the idea that it's simply a label for certain kinds of Christians. We looked at the historical and social roots of the movement and what makes it more than just a political slogan.Last week, we considered why Christian nationalism feels both familiar and unsettling. Many of its themes echo our spiritual traditions, yet they also challenge them in surprising ways.This week, we'll reflect on what makes Christian nationalism so appealing to some people, and what its rise reveals about our own longings and anxieties as a faith community.This class won't offer a final verdict or single “right” interpretation. Instead, it will invite open conversation and thoughtful reflection on the religious significance of Christian nationalism—and what it may be asking of the Church today.

Most followers of Christ want their lives to count, but it's easy to get impatient with the slow pace at which a life of significance often happens. In these two weeks of conversations with pastor and author Jeff Manion, the Discover the Word group explores how living a life marked by steady faithfulness can have tremendous and lasting results. Learn how, most often, what God considers a great life is built on a foundation of "holy redundancy," as Mart and Elisa and Bill welcome Jeff Manion to the table for this series called "Dream Big, Think Small."
