Advent 2025: In the Chaos of the Storm (Advent Week 2: Peace - Jonah 1:9-17)

Season 6 · Episode 50

Wednesday, December 10, 2025 • Duration 38:51

In this episode we push on in Jonah, reading Jonah 1:9-17, finishing the conversation on the great storm and also Jonah being cast into the sea. Our Advent theme this week is Peace, and so we explore what our passage today has to do with peace. Together we discuss the satirical form of this week's passage which forces us to see truths that we often would rather ignore. Additionally, we identify the peace that we find when we cease our striving and choose to rest in the presence of God in the midst of the storms and chaos of life.

Advent 2025: To the Ends of the Earth (Week 1: Hope - Jonah 1:1-8)

Season 6 · Episode 49

Wednesday, December 3, 2025 • Duration 36:17

In this episode we explore the Advent theme of Hope. while working through Jonah 1:1-8. This passage explores Jonah fleeing from God’s call, and the great storm that Jonah encounters. From our conversation on Jonah 1:1–8, we see that Jonah’s limited understanding of God’s presence may have shaped his reluctance to respond to God’s call. Believing he could escape God, Jonah attempted to flee from the Lord’s presence. Yet the hope in this passage is unmistakable: God is ever-present, and God pursues. God pursued Nineveh through Jonah, and God pursued Jonah through the storm. Just as God sought to draw near to Nineveh by inviting Jonah to participate in restoring their relationship through his prophecy, God still desires to draw near to all people today. The question, then, is this: Are we willing to answer God’s call in our own lives and allow ourselves to be instruments of relational restoration?

The Good Portion (Luke 10:38-42)

Wednesday, November 26, 2025 • Duration 41:18

In this episode we finish Luke 10 with a look at Luke 10:38-42. In this passage we see an interaction between Mary, Martha, and Jesus. From this passage, we talk about the hospitality reflected by Martha, Mary, and even Jesus. We address the propensity that we have as a culture to focus more on tasks and productivity, over time and presence with others. As we live in Jesus’ upside down kingdom, we are invited into a countercultural way of living whereby we focus on time and presence with both Jesus and others, over task and productivity in action.

Open to Interruption (Luke 10:25-37)

Season 6 · Episode 47

Wednesday, November 19, 2025 • Duration 33:59

In this episode we look at Luke 10:25-37, we move into Jesus’ parable on the good Samaritan as Jesus responds to an expert in the law who asks about inheriting eternal life. From this we discuss how Jesus uses questions and parables to slow people down and allow a truth to move beyond head knowledge and into heart knowledge, increasing the likelihood of life transformation. From the parable, we hear Jesus’ invitation to “do and do likewise,” to participate in the kingdom even now, open to interruptions and opportunities to care for those around us, as an active reflection of the heart of God.

So Others May Live (Luke 10:21-24)

Season 6 · Episode 46

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 • Duration 30:09

In this episode, we pick up in Luke 10:21-24 and look at Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving, following the sending out of the 72. From this passage, we explore the different aspects of Jesus’ prayer of thanksgiving — from His praise for who God is, to His recognition of what God has done, and finally to a benediction that reaffirms God’s authority. As we walk through the text, we see several key themes emerge: the vital role of humility in God’s Kingdom, the authority of Jesus, the intimate relationship between God the Father and God the Son, and the open invitation for all who are willing to listen and enter that relationship. With Jesus as our model, we are reminded of the clear call to live in such a way that others may see, experience, and participate in the upside-down Kingdom of God.

Our Kingdom Identity (Luke 10:13-20)

Season 6 · Episode 45

Wednesday, November 5, 2025 • Duration 38:45

In this episode, we jump back into the discourse happening between Jesus and the 72 both before their sending out, and after their return in Luke 10:13-20. Together, we reflect on the sense of expectation that comes with experiencing God’s Kingdom. When we encounter Jesus—when the Kingdom of God draws near—we face a choice: to embrace it or to turn away. Further, Jesus also deepens the mission blueprint by grounding both the disciples and their work in their identity as full representatives of the Kingdom. As appealing as fruit may be, it cannot flourish unless it is rooted in our identity in Christ. Therefore, as we seek to participate in and proclaim the Kingdom, our efforts must first and foremost be anchored in who we are in Christ.

The Potential in the Not-Yet (Luke 10:1-12)

Season 6 · Episode 44

Wednesday, October 29, 2025 • Duration 37:28

In this episode we continue to walk with Jesus on His journey to Jerusalem through Samaria and watch as He sends out 72 on mission in Luke 10:1-12. Together, we reflect on how this passage echoes the sending of the Twelve, following the mission blueprint Jesus established in Luke 9:1–9. Yet, this passage also invites a shift in perspective as the disciples enter the mission field. Rather than focusing on the hopelessness that opposition can bring, Jesus draws attention to the potential within it. In the same way, as Jesus sends us out to participate in and proclaim the Kingdom of God, we are called to move with urgency, humility, and dependence—while also embracing the invitation to see potential in every encounter, even when the situation appears hopeless.

Kingdom Possibilities and Costs (Luke 9:51-62)

Season 6 · Episode 43

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 • Duration 39:52

In this episode we move into Luke 9:51-62 where we see Jesus and His disciples rejected by Samaritans, and also two interactions with others about the cost of following after Him. Together we start by exploring the importance of prioritizing people over principles. When we choose to keep relationships at the center, we leave room for the Spirit of Jesus to keep working in the lives of those who may hold different convictions. From there, we unpack some of the common barriers that can keep us from fully participating in God’s Kingdom here and now—our desire for security, our struggle to surrender control, and our divided loyalties. Jesus’ invitation to follow Him is immediate, urgent, and all-encompassing. The real question is: will we answer that call and step fully into His Kingdom here and now?

Patience Amidst Misconception (Luke 9:37-50)

Season 6 · Episode 42

Wednesday, October 15, 2025 • Duration 39:37

In this episode, we reflect on Jesus’ patience with the crowds and His disciples, who once again fail to grasp what it truly means to fully participate in the kingdom of God, even though He had taught and modeled it many times. In the end, we recognize that the way of humility—following Jesus step by step—is the only path to fully participate in and embody His kingdom here and now.

Dynamic Listening to Jesus (Luke 9:28-36)

Season 6 · Episode 41

Wednesday, October 8, 2025 • Duration 38:26

In this episode, we read about the event known as the Transfiguration, found in Luke 9:28-36. Together talk about the difference between the static and dynamic message from God. We identify that unlike the Law and the Prophets, Jesus is present and dynamically leading us through life. Our invitation is into a dynamic relationship with Jesus, over a static dependence on the tools that were meant to point us to Jesus in the first place.
