Soul Ramblings Podcast: Recent Episodes

Tiki Hut Media Productions

Where we pop open a cold beer and talk about faith and life.

People are sometimes afraid to talk about faith, but we aren’t. Each week we’ll have conversations on spirituality, faith, and everyday life.

It’s Soul Ramblings from Tiki Hut Media!

Oh, and tell a friend!

Grace, Peace, Cheers!

In today’s fast-paced world, we are under a constant pressure to achieve more and more, leading us to focus on productivity as the ultimate goal. However, have you ever thought that productivity might not be everything?

In this episode, we will be discussing the subtle differences between productivity and effectiveness, why productivity is so dominant in today’s world, and the importance of striving for effectiveness.

Plus, we see the effectiveness living by what is probably the most radical, ridiculous, and important statement Jesus ever made in Luke 6.

Grace, Peace, Cheers! 🍻

The fourth week of Advent asks us to ponder where would we be without the faith of Mary and Elizabeth? In today’s passage from Luke 1:39-55, Mary allows herself to become God’s magnifying glass, through which “the whole world can read and understand the gospel.

Where would we be without Mary? Where would any of us be without any of God’s little magnifying glasses all around-those who have shined with the power of faith in spite of the odds, those who have borne Christ to us and enabled us to read how much God loves us?

Grace, Peace, Cheers! 🍻

The third week of Advent features the prophet Zephaniah’s words and they “must have seemed ludicrous to those who first heard them. And the call to rejoice and not to fear may seem ludicrous to us, knowing all that is happening in our world today. How can we proclaim joy in a broken world? We use the words of Leonard Cohen, Karl Barth, and John the Baptist to tell us how.

We find ourselves in a moment where we have some choices to make. Like the Israelites in Joshua 24, we simply have to make a decision about whether we’re serious about loving God and loving neighbor, whether we’re serious about living the promise or just talking about it. So, what’s it gonna be?

Have you ever felt used? It’s a crummy feeling to be treated as a pawn or stepping stone in someone’s plan, as an unwilling object used for another’s benefit or pleasure. It’s dehumanizing and it’s painful, but there is another way to think about being used. God wants to use us and in Mark 10:17-31, a wealthy man gets a direct invitation from Jesus to be used by God for good in God’s kingdom. He rejects this invitation because he cannot let go of his wealth. How will you respond to this invitation?

I also give some reasons I don’t engage in online controversies and arguments, plus I have 2 books to suggest to you which I have recently read.

This month is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

The writer Flannery O’Conner reportedly once said, “You shall know the truth and the truth will make you odd.”

In the midst of a chaotic and violent world, a world of malevolent authorities and powers, we are called to be odd, and in our very oddness lies our freedom. Our freedom to show compassion.

In Matthew 14, we see that rather than leaning into Jesus, we begin to drown in our own fear of insufficiency. We don’t want to deal with the mess and the hunger. I mean, the needs that surround us seem insurmountable.

It’s been said that “one of the hardest lessons for believers to learn is that the Lord does provide.” It really is that simple.

We are to live by faith and never use our “lack of whatever” as an excuse not to do what God is calling us to do for those in need.

In other words, "You give them something to eat."

Current events and the news can cause us anger. That…is the problem. Anger…you can always find a long list of things to be angry about. Today’s episode looks at Jeremiah 23:1-6 and shows another way to handle that anger. “Come to Christ…who is peace.” But what if we've already exploded in anger? There's good news.....no matter how you might feel about yourself. No matter what you have done. God loves you just the way you are.

Still, the world is a messy, controversial, and broken place. We cannot continue sticking our heads in the sand and hoping it all goes away. We don’t need to be afraid.

George Carlin had a popular standup routine about stuff and our obsession with stuff. We are reminded by Jesus to not put too much faith in our stuff.

Plus, Lutheran pastor Judy Kincaid says of the story of the beheading of John the Baptist from Mark 6:14-29, "I feel like slamming my Bible on the pulpit and asking, 'What the heck is this? Why is this story in the Bible? Where is the good news in this story?'” The good news is that Jesus is having a party too, and we are all invited.

After a busy few weeks, I am back with a new episode called, “What does it matter?” from Mark 5:21-43. Does it matter that the people in today’s passage are healed? You bet it does!

It matters because it is about so much more than physical healing.

I talk about recent decisions made by the United Methodist Church and we look at Acts 2 for Pentecost.

The traditional Gospel reading for Easter Sunday is John 20:1-18, where Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early on the first day of the week, while it is still dark. You know that story. It’s a good one. It’s the surprise ending of the greatest story every told. Mark 16:1-8 also presents the events of the resurrection, but in a much less satisfying way. The ending seems incomplete, unfinished. The women flee the tomb and say nothing to anyone because they were so afraid. The question is why. Why would Mark end his Gospel this way? “I have a theory. If this story is going to be resolved, if it’s ever going to have a happy ending, it will be up to us.”

Today’s passage for Palm Sunday, Mark 11:1-11, includes a parade. Jesus made his way into Jerusalem, but so did Pilate. The two parades and what they stood for could not have been more different. Two processions made their way into Jerusalem that day. And, as those who seek to be faithful to Jesus today, we are forced to ask ourselves: Which parade are we a part of?

We talk about the progression of David’s relationship with God from a young shepherd boy to a king who makes a grievous mistake that distances him from God. Sin has consequences. However, God can and does restore the joy of our salvation.

Today, we continue to Learn The Jesus Way Of Life and we are going to unpack what following Jesus is really all about. There are far too many people who think their relationship with God can be summarized by their church attendance record or a few minutes of “quiet time” in the morning. Or maybe that Jesus is for the “spiritual” part of life and doesn’t really have anything to do with the rest. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Jesus doesn’t want part of you—He wants all of you. That’s why the earliest members of the Jesus movement were called followers of the Way. Because that’s exactly what Jesus came to introduce: a new, more true way of life. A new way of seeing, of serving, of loving, of solving problems, of relating to people, of doing the daily work of living life. In other words, following Jesus is an all-of-life way of life. It’s a way defined by going where He goes, doing what He does, trusting what He says, and loving how He loves.

This week we finish up the series, Jesus Didn't Say That. These days it’s easy to see life the way we want to. We can filter our images, pick the news we want to hear, and listen only to the viewpoints that agree with us. When we do that, we start to distort our view of the world. The same thing can happen to our view of God. We reshape our perception of Him into what we want to believe, or what we want to think about others. Jesus came to bring us the truth about God and His plan for us, and it doesn’t always sound like what you may think.

Merry Christmas!  On this Christmas Eve, do you struggle with feelings of inadequacy? Thinking you’re not enough for your spouse, children, church, friends—not enough for God? Do you feel too weak or ill-qualified? 

You’re in good company here, because we realize that God comes to the needy, His grace enables the unqualified, His spirit gives life, and His plan is the means to our wholeness.

Most people feel inadequate because of the inappropriate criticism they’ve received from parents, teachers, and other sources.

Things like, "You’ll never amount to anything", "You’re such a disappointment", "You can’t do anything right" "I wish you were more like ‘whoever’".

We need to lay down our feelings of inadequacy. God’s view of you is different than you think. Someone told you that you couldn’t… you’re not… you won’t. You are not who others say you are! God has given you more than you think. When God calls you to do something, it’s less about your power, more about His presence. You are who He says you are.

Grace, Peace, Cheers!!
