| Rediscovering the Power of Presence with Darren Whitehead | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:45:30 | |
I think we’d probably all agree that digital distraction is at an all time high. News from around the world is at our fingertips at a moment's notice. We get real-time updates on, well, everything. We can play any sort of game imaginable anywhere in the world and we can post our own thoughts and musings for anybody to see. Smartphones are truly an incredible innovation, but they come with a cost. Instead of engaging with the world right around us, we engage in a digital world filled with avatars and algorithms. Instead of looking up to God or out to the people directly in front of us, we look down into the screen of a metal rectangle. This past weekend at Saddleback, Pastor Darren Whitehead spoke on his book, The Digital Fast. Darren was kind enough to join this podcast to follow-up on his message. In this conversation we talk about how to fill the gaps in our time if not on our phones, spiritual practices and rhythms, reading the Bible, the difference between Australians and Americans, the calling of a generation to re-engage in the spiritual, and much more.

| Navigating the Bible: Isaiah | 15 Jul 2025 | 00:48:50 | |
“Look up into the heavens. Who created all the stars? He brings them out like an army, one after another, calling each by its name. Because of his great power and incomparable strength, not a single one is missing. O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights? Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of all the earth.” Isaiah 40:26-28 As we enter the book of Isaiah, we are moving from the wisdom literature into the prophets. In many ways it’s a good thing that Isaiah is the first of the major prophets we read because it’s the most accessible. Isaiah paints a portrait, not just of Israelite history, but of the God who is above it all - the God who is both creator and master of all things, but also close, loving and kind. Isaiah is a long book coming in at 66 chapters, but it is rich with history, the character of God, and hope for the savior that is to come. To help us navigate the book of Isaiah is Dr. Andrew Abernethy Professor of Old Testament at Wheaton College and author of not one, not two, but three books on Isaiah.

| Navigating the Bible: Psalms | 06 May 2025 | 00:52:48 | |
O LORD, I give my life to you. The Book of Psalms is without question one of the most well-known books of the Bible. You open up your Bible in the middle and you’re likely to open to a Psalm. Psalms are read at weddings and funerals, you see them written on artwork and mugs and frames. But how should we read the Psalms? What does Psalms teach us about God and about ourselves? Today I’m grateful to have Dr. Tremper Longman navigating us through the book of Psalms. Dr. Longman is the author of How to Read the Psalms, the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Psalms, and was one of the lead translators for the New Living Translation or NLT.

| E335 - Understanding the Link Between Theology and Film with Dr. Kutter Callaway | 19 Jul 2023 | 00:48:57 | |
Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor is joined by Dr. Kutter Callaway to discuss theology and film. Movies have a powerful and interesting way of capturing our attention, our emotions, and our thought life. What does this say about us? And how does this relate to our relationship with God? This conversation looks to answer these questions along with talking about common religious themes and motifs in movies, the need to be discerning against heresy in film, and the power of emotion and what it says about being made in the image of God. Kutter Callaway is the William K. Brehm Chair of Worship, Theology, and the Arts, as well as associate dean of the Center for Advanced Theological Studies, and associate professor of theology and culture. He is actively engaged in writing and speaking on the interaction between theology and culture—particularly film, television, and online media—in both academic and popular forums.

The episode ends with some doable next steps.

| E333 - How To Live Through The Rhythms of Jesus with Hosanna Wong | 05 Jul 2023 | 00:52:01 | |
Saddleback Church Content Development Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by author, teacher, and spoken word artist Hosanna Wong for a conversation around identity in Christ and how to adopt the rhythms of Jesus. One of the most fundamental questions of life is Who Am I? and, in Christian circles, we are often rushed to answer that our identity is in Christ. But how do we really find out what this means and, even when we do feel connected to Jesus, how do we keep that connection? This conversation addresses these questions and dives deep into looking at four rhythms or spiritual disciplines that you can begin adopting in your own life.
Hosanna Wong is an international speaker, best-selling author and spoken word artist helping everyday people know Jesus for real. Widely known for her spoken word piece, "I Have A New Name," Hosanna shares in churches, conferences, prisons, and other events around the world, reaching across various denominations, backgrounds and cultures. Born and raised in an urban ministry on the streets of San Francisco, Hosanna later packed her life into suitcases and traveled to churches and other ministries throughout the United States to share about Jesus through spoken word poetry. During those years without a permanent home, she began speaking and creating resources to serve the local and global Church. Hosanna currently travels and speaks year-round, and serves on teaching teams at churches throughout the United States. She and her husband, Guy serve together in various ministries equipping people with tools to share the gospel of Jesus in today's world. Hosanna is the best-selling author of How (Not) to Save the World. Her new book, You Are More Than You've Been Told releases August 2023.

| E330 - Why We Must Pray for the Next Generation | 14 Jun 2023 | 00:43:53 | |
Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Kendall Hibiske to talk about praying for the next generation. Your church likely has kids and student ministries where kids can go to learn about God. Adults often say we’re grateful for those pastors and then continue on focusing on our own church experience. There is something missing in the way that we think about the next generation. There’s not just an opportunity, but a necessity, to be intentional toward and praying for the next generation. Kids and students are not just the future church, they are the church of now and they will face challenges and trials as they continue to grow in their faith, but they also will see wonderful opportunities and powerful experiences. How can we be entering into prayer on their behalf? How can we be lifting up the next generation? This is a powerful conversation about how we should view the next generation, our role in prayer, and where the two meet. The conversation looks at the power of intergenerational prayer, what we can be learning from the younger generation, how our prayer lives can and do change, and some ways we can specifically be praying for the next generation.

| E329 - A Deeper Understanding of Patience | 07 Jun 2023 | 00:42:49 | |
Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Celebrate Recovery Pastor Meaghan Grider to talk about patience. Talking about patience may sound trivial, or may even be something you want to actively avoid, but honestly it’s an extremely important topic with many rich layers to it. We may think of patience as waiting in line, or putting on a nice face rather than lashing out in anger or frustration. But there is a depth and nuance to talking about patience that is so often untapped and underdeveloped. Patience can and should be a marker of our attachment to God and can be a diagnostic tool to help you figure what areas of your life you may be struggling in right now. Meaghan and Jason talk about Meaghan’s own battles with patience, the struggles of patience as it relates to anxiety and depression, the beautiful opportunity we have to trust God when we ask for help with patience, and much more.

| E327 Why Its Not Only Okay but Important to Have Fun | 24 May 2023 | 00:42:27 | |
Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastor Jason Wieland and Saddleback Lake Forest Campus Pastor Katie Edwards talk about the importance of having fun and joy in life. This episode part of an ongoing series on emotional health. When we talk about emotional health, we usually talk about anger, or sadness, or any of the hard, negative feelings. Bu it’s also important to look at the positive emotions – in particular, fun. There can be confusion too about how we should navigate church and our relationship with God, with fun. Am I supposed to have constant posture of reverence and piety, or is there a way to be reverent and fun at the same time? Jason and Katie talk about these questions, along with looking at what it means to have child-like faith, how fun can lead to deeper relationships, and the benefits of having fun within the family of God.

| Mysteries of the Faith: Heaven | 29 Apr 2025 | 00:37:18 | |
“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. I hear a loud shout from the throne, saying, ‘Look, God’s home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.” – Revelation 21:1-4
There are many pictures of what heaven may be like. From art to poetry to film and television, many people have depicted heaven one way or another. And I completely understand why people would want to do so – heaven is something I believe everybody thinks about at some point in their life. Even an atheist has likely gone through the mental exercise of thinking, if heaven is real I wonder what it may be like. So today I want to explore the mystery of heaven: what the Bible says about heaven, how culture has depicted heaven, and seek answer some of the most common questions people have. To do so I reached out to an expert. Dr. Alister McGrath recently retired as the Andreas Idreos Professor of Science and Religion at Oxford University where he started teaching in 1983. Dr. McGrath now serves as Senior Research Fellow at the Ian Ramsey Centre for Science and Religion at Oxford. He is the author of an immensely popular textbook, Christian Theology: An Introduction which is in its 6th edition and, most appropriate for this conversation, he’s the author of A Brief History of Heaven.

| E326 - When You Find Yourself At The Wall | 16 May 2023 | 00:41:33 | |
Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Rob Jacobs talk about The Wall, an experience that all Christians face at some point or multiple points. Sometimes called “the dark night of the soul”, the wall is a season of spiritual dryness where one feels that God is distant. Rob and Jason talk about the wall’s place in the JESUS stages, what it looks like being at the wall, and the emotional toll that the wall can take. The conversation, though, continues to talk about the wall as an invitation to step into a new season of deep, vulnerable growth with Jesus.

| E325 - A Biblical Look At Emotions | 10 May 2023 | 00:48:34 | |
Description: Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar take a look at two prominent people in the Bible, Jesus and David, and how they exhibited emotions. Their emotions ran the full range from the highest of highs, to the lowest of lows, and everything in-between. These pictures help us to accept that emotions are not a bad thing. In fact, they are given by God. We are not called to be stoic, or to only by happy. We were created to experience emotions of all shapes and kinds and Jesus and David are great examples of this truth.

| E323 - Unpacking the Dual Reality of Being a Sinner and a Saint | 03 May 2023 | 00:45:11 | |
Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Brandon Bathauer talk about a common question for Christians: what does it mean that I am simultaneously a sinner and a saint? The conversation starts by looking at what the Bible says about us as sinner, then what the Bible talks about us as saints. It addresses the confusion of what it means to hold these two in tension and talks about the difficult emotional toll that this can have on people. Many people find themselves stuck in cycles of shame, guilt, or doubt when wrestling with their sin vs. their supposed saved nature. Jason and Brandon talk about the powerful reality of sanctification, what it means to live in a new identity, and provide some tools and resources for anybody who is struggling to understand and live out this reality of being both a sinner and a saint.

Saddleback Spiritual Growth Pastor Jason Wieland talks with Todd Olthoff, Pastor of Pastoral Care at Saddleback Church.

| Navigating the Bible: Job | 22 Apr 2025 | 00:43:20 | |
Then Job replied to the LORD: The book of Job is perhaps the most unique book in the Old Testament. Up until this point we had been reading narrative accounts of historical events, but Job ushers us into new territory as a wisdom literature book. It tracks events that happen in the life of a man named Job . . . but it does leave you to wonder if these events really happened as written, or if this is a different type of literature exercise altogether. Most importantly for the book of Job though is what it teaches us about God and about ourselves and there’s a central question at the very heart of this book that will completely change and shape how you read it. To help us navigate the book of Job is Dr. John Walton. Dr. Walton is professor of Old Testament Emeritus at Wheaton College and other of many books including How to Read Job and the NIV Application Commentary on Job.

Saddleback Teaching Pastor Stacie Wood joins Spiritual Growth Pastors Jason Wieland and Linda Tokar for a conversation on how to engage in a deeper practice of Bible study.

In this message, she noted that she wanted to share additional information on how we can pursue deeper Bible study, but didn’t have time in her message so this episode of Doable Discipleship fills that need. Stacie talks about her background with Bible study, why people may have a hard time diving into Scripture, and how the Holy Spirit works with us as we read. The conversation then talks about good resources available for people who are new to Bible study, as well as resources for people who are looking for more advanced Bible study.

| Mysteries of Faith: Salvation | 08 Apr 2025 | 00:51:14 | |
The Bible talks a lot about salvation, or our need to be saved. Jesus is the promised savior and the central tenet of the Gospel is it is faith in Jesus that saves you from your sin. All of this is, of course, true, and if you were to ask the average Christian what it means to be saved they would likely say that their faith in Jesus saves them from hell and gives them an eternity in heaven. Again, this is not wrong. But, it is incomplete. Salvation is far deeper, far more encompassing, and far more miraculous than we typically consider it. This is the goal of this “mysteries of the faith” series: to take a topic that we think we understand and dig a little deeper. To help guide us in the topic of salvation is Pastor Buddy Owens. Buddy is a teaching pastor at Saddleback and has been on this podcast many times. In this conversation Buddy and I talk about what happened on the cross, how salvation is more than just a saving from something, what it means to live out your salvation, and look to answer some of the most pressing questions people have about salvation.
