What does it mean to be “sent”? How was the Holy Spirit the one who sent Saul and Barnabas? In this episode, Emma Dotter unpacks what it means to be sent by the Holy Spirit and how we see this in the example of Saul and Barnabas as they embark on their first missionary journey in Acts 13:1-12. Then, Emma draws a connection between the passage and how we see the Holy Spirit send missionaries today, sharing about a missionary family from Watermark. // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:268 Acts 12-14 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-268-acts-12-14/id1600151923?i=1000735847137) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

A man opens his new briefcase and discovers that something else lies beside his files, something…vast. Genre: Mystery, Mythology Excerpt:"Once," she started, "the world was filled with different beings than the ones that now fill the world." They were just as wondrous. And just as terrible.

A cartography vessel mapping a sector of space that's expected to contain nothing of interest encounters…something of interest. Genre: Science Fiction, Mystery Excerpt:"This thing is changing by the hour. We may not have time for Vessel 86 to arrive before something even more intense happens." I walked on a few steps before I realized that my crew mate had stopped short. I turned and walked back to him. "More intense than that?" he asked, pointing out of the nearest porthole. I gaped. The fluttering spirals that we'd become accustomed to had shifted color, darkening in a pattern that was familiar to both of us. That pattern was a word. The word was, "Hello."

Since we're away this week, we pre-recorded this episode! Appropriately, the theme of the requested songs is travel, and in particular, travel gone wrong at the holidays. Or maybe just being stuck in a place during Christmas? But not like a place-place, like, a liminal place. Airports, ships at sea, that kind of thing. Which is to say: exactly and exclusively like those two things. "Christmas at the Airport" by Nick Lowe is a light little tune about spending a holy night trapped in one of the earth's least sacred places. "Christmas at Sea" offers a more profound sentiment, performed by Sting and Mary Macmaster. The ranking music in this episode is "Watermark" by The Weakerthans. Thank you and congratulations to Andy for this request and on the marriage, respectively!

When two friends hear a commotion in their mysterious new neighbor's apartment, they go to check, only to find the door open, and the apartment completely empty...well, almost empty. Genre: Mystery, Fantasy Excerpt:The only object in the entire apartment was lying on the tiled kitchen floor. Broken into several pieces. A mug. I could make out a design on one of the larger shards.

In this episode, Emma Dotter and Ryan Garrahan, Watermark's Director of Community Formation, talk about why there was such an intense rivalry between Jews and Samaritans.

What is a martyr? Why was Stephen's death so pivotal? Do people still get killed for following Jesus? In this episode, Emma Dotter unpacks the death of the first Christian martyr in Acts 7:54-8:3 and the history of followers of Jesus being killed for their faith. Then, Watermark's International Missions Director, Bruce Kendrick, joins to discuss how we should think about persecution and martyrdom today.

How do followers of Jesus remain faithful in persecution? Does the Church really thrive under pressure? In this episode, Emma Dotter examines Acts 6:8-15 and the extraordinary faith of an ordinary man named Stephen after being arrested by religious officials. Even though Stephen was not an apostle, he accomplished incredible things by the Holy Spirit's power.

Watermark's Students Director, Jermaine Harrison, taught from Acts 7:1–53 and walked through Stephen's defense before the religious leaders. Instead of defending himself, Stephen walked through Israel's history to show a pattern: God continually pursued his people, and they continually resisted the Spirit.
What should care and correction in the church look like? How should followers of Jesus care for widows in their church body? In this episode, Watermark elder Todd Anders joins Emma Dotter to discuss Acts 6:1-7 and what it means to be a shepherding church, the five aspects of a shepherd, and the “one another” commands in Scripture. Then, faithful Watermark member Melanie Graber describes her experience in being cared for by the church and offers practical advice on caring for widows. // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: Exodus 17: 11; 18: 21-22; Ephesians 4: 15; 2 Peter 3: 9; Psalm 23 // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:265 – Acts 5-6 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-265-acts-5-6/id1600151923?i=1000735373170) // RESOURCES FOR FURTHER STUDY: Church Membership by Jonathan Leeman: (https://a.co/d/035b4DsL) Aging with Purpose: 7 Essentials for Finishing Well by Dr. Hal Habecker (https://a.co/d/0fP6bqSu) Read Melanie Graber's story: (https://www.watermark.org/blog/ordinary-obedience) Watermark Community Church ministries mentioned: Christ-Centered Recovery (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/regeneration-recovery) Marriage Enrichment (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/re-engage) International Student Ministry (https://www.watermark.org/outreach/international-students ) Women's Bible Study (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/womens-bible-study) Newly Married Women (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/to-have-and-to-host) Men and Women 60+ (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/legacy) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?
