In this installment of the pod, we look at the book of Acts, the sequel to Luke. Acts is a book full of-- you guessed it-- ACTS that the disciples and apostles perform while trying to establish the early church following Jesus' death, resurrection, and ascension.
The apostles and disciples were the first evangelists and church planters, responsible for helping the teachings of Jesus survive the next generation and to expand the number of people following Jesus across the Roman Empire (and beyond!). Each of these apostles and disciples had different gifts for ministry, their own approach to sh ..read more

On this episode of the podcast, we are looking at Proverbs, Daniel, and Esther. From the outset, these books seem to have precious little in common. One is a collection of pithy sayings that may or may not actually be good advice. One is a story about dreams interpreted and futures secured with a science fiction twist.

This week on the podcast, we are covering the Gospel of Luke. Luke widens its perspective more so than any of the other Gospels to consider God’s overall historical purpose and the place of the future church within it. In its original form the Gospel of Luke and Acts were one book, written as one volume to show the transition from the ministry of Jesus to the ministry of the church. We will help lay the groundwork for next week's episode by diving into Luke!

What if the Psalms tell us the story of the conversations we have with God?
The honest, hard, holy, and hurtful conversations we have with God.
What if the Psalms also tell us about the silences we share with God?
The confounding, callous, contemplative, and captivating silences we experience in the presence of God.
Part of what gives poetry its power is tension between the presence of sound and the presence of silence.
Every raw edge of our human experience is exposed in the Psalms.
Join us on the pod this week as we get into the Psalms and our feelings.
