Talk About It: Recent Episodes
Trinity Church Kelowna
Whether taking the content of our weekends to a new place or discussing practical ideas that help us live today differently, Josh & guests are excited to provide you with some thoughtful ideas and conversation starters. Welcome to the Talk About It Podcast.
JOin Josh and Scott as they explore what it will take to equip and empower the next generation at Trinity Church. The truth is, we need to equip and empower everyone for the sake of the next generation. So what's the faith of the next generation worth? We explore the Biblical texts of Acts, the letters to Timothy and Hebrews. We consider what the possibilities are for the future as we steward what God is doing here at Trinity ad in the 'big C Church' in Canada.
If you had thoughts or questions that you want us to interact with, send them to podcast@trinitykelowna.ca because we would love you to participate.
Join Josh and Jared as they unpack what it means to "invest to impress". Referring to Deuteronomy 6 and the daily practice of impressing your life of faith every day, we unpack what the next generation needs to be impressed by and what that can look like for us as a church.
We chat through the reality of the question: "what is the faith of the next generation worth?"
Join Josh, JM and Sarah as they explore the conversation Sarah and JM had about equipping to empower the next generation. It's a wonder that Jesus modelled what this might look like with His disciples that would have been late teens or young adults. We consider the courage crushers of fear, comparison and failure and call people to step into just '10 seconds' of a courage catalyst like growth, community or influence.
Send your questions to podcast@trinitykelowna.ca where we love to keep this conversation going.
Join the THREE of us: Josh, Scott and Sarah, as we reflect on why our Responding To God series has been so important and impactful. We wanted to hear more from Sarah about stretching that prayer muscle and what it can look like in seasons of celebration and lament. Scott invited us to respond with intention and purpose in the way we worship. We have a great conversation that we want to invite you into. So send us your questions as well at podcast@trinitykelowna.ca
And join us in-person or online for our next sermon series, "Blueprints", as we unpack our newest Calling, Focus and Way of Being, as a church family in Kelowna, BC.
Join Scott and Josh as they unpack the most recent sermon in our responding to God.
We consider, practically, what does confession look like and how does it impact us day-to-day. We chat through the role of spiritual friendships in our lives and what God might do through our community as we escape the numbness of an unconfessed life and experience the kingdom of heaven.
One book, referred to in the podcast, was 3-2-1: Following Jesus in Threes by Soo-Inn Tan. It's a quick little book that may help you on your journey to discovering spiritual friendships in your life.
As always, if you have questions, send them off to podcast@trinitykelowna.ca and we'd love to have the chance to respond .
Join Josh and Scott as they consider what it means to hear God's voice and respond. We consider what we can learn from Elijah's story of 'God's whisper' and what it can mean for us. We ask the questions around "why should we consider responding?" and "What does it require of us?", or "Should I feel guilt or shame if I miss responding to Him?"
As always, as we chat, share your questions with us a podcast@trinitykelowna.ca. We would love to answer them next week.
Or share the podcast with a friend and turn our "talking about it" into your "talking about it" and have a great week!
Join Josh & Scott as they return to chat about the opening sermon of our annual Cultivate series. We chat about what it means to plant seeds and consider why we all need to acknowledge that God has given us a crop to be responsible for.
We chat about what Paul means about deciding in our heart, in 2 Corinthians 9 and how we need to give from ourselves and not for ourselves when we have a right heart posture.

Join Josh and Scott as they rewind to a very important wrap-up for the Relationships goals sermon series.
We chat about why it's important to fight for relationships and, practically, what does that mean?
Also, in what way are relationships made to make us holy, instead of happy?
Send us your questions at podcast@trinitykelowna.ca
Join Josh & Jared as they explore the message from Trinity's Family experience on March 10, 2024! We had an opportunity to explore what happens with the boy and his little lunch and ask: what is the role of kids in Jesus' story? What is the role of kids in discipleship now?
Jared referred to a great resource called Habits of the Household by Justin Whitmel Early. You can explore more here:
And intersted in a book study? Email Josh at jraine@trinitykelowna.ca citing "Habits of the Household Book Study"
Jared also mentioned great questions to ask kids that aren't simply "How was your day? Did you have fun?"
Consider questions like:
- Questions for parents beyond, how was your day, or did you have fun?
- What do you love doing?
- What’s hard about life right now?
- Who is your best friend?
- What do you think you’re good at?
- What do you want to get better at?
- When do you feel nervous?
- What’s your favourite book?
- What is your favourite song?
- What do you find yourself praying about often?
- What do you think about when you lie in bed?
- What do you wish you were allowed to do that you’re not?
- What do you like about our family right now?
Join Josh, Scott and Sharlene O'Reilly as we unpack that myth of perfect again. We ask, "Why does it have so much to do with me and my expectations?" "How can we guard ourselves from outside voices?" And what's next when we define our values and find our contentment in God?
As always, send us your questions at podcast@trinitykelowna.ca
And don't miss next week as we hope to bring you two episodes as we wrap up our Relationship Goals - Season 2 series.
Join Josh and Scott as they unpack our first message in our Relationship Goals, Season 2.
There are tips, resources and goals we can make to find God's goodness in all our relationships - romantic or otherwise.
Why do we so easily accept cultural norms for our relationships? Why does God want more? But, how do we navigate our underestimations of relationships?

Join Josh and Sarah as they talk about a few things related to "The Cross". We talk about why the cross matters, even if you're brand new to Christianity.

Share the podcast. Rate and review. We would love to know how we can make this the best listening experience for you.
Join Scott and Josh as they explore what it might mean to have a "religion". If some say religion is simply a way to describe your path to God, why does Scott think it could be "a comprehensive, holistic and genuine life ethic"?

Merry Jesus' Birthday, from Josh and Scott!
We wanted to take this opportunity to wish you a merry Christmas! and to reflect on the season of Advent and all that is found in love, joy, peace and hope.

We look at what it means to speak to power, how we navigate God's blessing of Naaman and what we know about lepers in the Old and New Testaments.
Send us your questions at podcast@trinitykelowna.ca
Join Josh and Scott as they chat about 2 Kings 4:1-7. We chat about what it means to empty ourselves and what is ahead for us once we accept that invitation to kneel in need, move in faith or stand in expectation. We enjoy some awesome donuts... so if you feel the need, grab a snack and munch along with us. We expand on Scott's notes and consider Colossians 2, as well as other passages that point us forward in our journey with God and in faithfulness to Jesus.
Two notes:
We mention the Rebuilders podcast with Mark Sayers and his team that you can find here: https://rebuilders.co
And the book that Josh forgets the name of is written by Christopher J. H. Wright and is called The Mission of God.
Join Josh and Scott as we chat through the realities of grace & truth today. When we hear John 1:17, or Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 10 or John 8, how should we respond? What does it tell us about ourselves in the way that we respond to these stories?
Consider how grace and truth are held in tension and how people don't usually like tension, so they pick a side.
There's so much to this conversation, so send us your questions: podcast@trinitykelowna.ca
DELAYED BROADCAST!
Sorry for the delay, but go back and join Josh & Sarah as they chat about what it means to be known for serving: in your neighbourhoods, in your church, in your work community. It is significant to be know for what you "bring" to your community, so let's be intentional about it.
Join Josh and Scott as we talk about our second sermon in our "Known For" series as we learn about community. Why are we so afraid of joining a community group? What will it cost us? What happens if I'm not in community?
What is the Biblical basis for community? Does the Bible say anything about tribes of individuals or individualism?

2) How do we know if we're in another "intertestamental period" because it feels like God is pretty quiet right now?
3) Any thoughts around each of the three: "God is still working", "God is shaping and preparing your", "God is waiting on you"?

Fierce Conversations by Susan Scott
https://fierceinc.com/fierce-conversations/
Join Josh and Scott as they talk about gentleness, from Scott's sermon on August 21 & 22.
We talk about gentleness really impacts "how you do what you do".
We want people to consider whether Jesus really addressed the issues of His day or simply overwhelmed them by the fruit of the Spirit.
We ask:
-
How do we understand God's gentle position towards us?
-
Who do we really trust when we feel like we need to be strong & tough?
Join Josh as he talks with Sarah on faithfulness and her message on August 14 & 15, 2021.
We consider what it looks like to be faithful as we watch a world struggle to endure. What stories are being told about God's faithfulness because of how we live?
How do we consider these promises of God in light of His faithfulness?
I am your strength. (Phil. 4:13)
I will never leave you. (Deut. 31:6)
I have plans to prosper you (Jer 29:11)
Life to the full (John 10)

And let's begin to talk about these topics with friends, neighbours and those with whom we're seeking Jesus.
Join Josh as he chats with Wayne about the recent teaching on 'kindness' as a fruit of the Spirit in our "Infused" sermon series.
We consider topics like:
1) Random Acts of Kindness
2) How does kindness lead to repentance (Romans 2)
3) What does life look like for Jesus as He models kindness for us?
4) Culture wants us to "be kind to yourself" but how does that impact others?
As always, take this podcast, share/rate/review, but most importantly, use it as an opportunity to start a conversation with someone else as you desire to follow Jesus.

Join us as we talk through questions that relate to our weekend message from July 3 & 4, 2021 with Wayne Alguire.
We consider questions like:
What did you have to leave unsaid?
What did you wish you could have talked about more?
Why is it important to ask: "Have we changed and if so in what ways? For better or worse?"
How do we stop and consider when we leave something without a healthy conversation?
As a faith community you called us to ask these questions… can you walk us through with a bit more detail and the ‘why’ behind them?
-How will we know, as followers of Jesus, if we have grown in our devotion, allegiance, and character as a Christian?
-What visible indicators might we see and experience in each other that would provide undeniable evidence that deep inner transformation has continued?
-What might we look for, in ourselves and others, that confirms a withering away or a flourishing, abundant life in Christ?
What do we know about these early church letters?
What was unique about Galatia?
How does the average person experience the fruit we bear?
Is there something that we lack if we choose to only access some of the fruit and not all of it?
What do we know about love in the life of the Church that is a result of the Spirit at work?
Join Josh & Wayne as we talk through a few questions from our weekend teaching on June 19 & 20, 2021.
Questions like:
-
What are ways we discover the condition of the soil of our soul? Or actually the state of our soul?
-
You used a few couplets to describe what is driving Saul. Is there one of these that you think is a hangup for most people today?
-
What are the different ways we consider God's truths? How do we expose ourselves to His truths?
-
You mentioned, Proverbs 4:23 says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” How do we guard our heart in a helpful way?
Join us as we answer a listener's questions and consider questions from Samuel & Saul and the message from June 5/6, 2021.
We consider questions like:
-
Can you elaborate more on the hand-glove imagery from a few weeks ago?
-
How do we know if something we’ve experienced is a calling? How do we know if we’re being called?
-
For us, God may have felt absent/distance. How do we see trusting God in the lives of Samuel and Saul?
- What do you mean "You choose to sin"?
-
Why do we suffer? And how do we journey through it?
-
How do we understand doing things our "own way"? But Hudson Taylor said, God's work in God's way never lacks God's supply.
Join us as we talk about the stories of Samuel and Saul, inspired by the May 29 & 30, 2021 weekend service.
We explore questions like:
-
What do you wish you had more time to say? What did you have to leave out?
-
With Israel, do we assume this was an inevitable transitions?
We are all about to have some sort of transition, “back to normal”?
-
What are some specific ways, someone who is following Jesus, can handle transitions?
-
What are the pros/benefits of Israel having a King?
-
What does it mean that “the Spirit of the Lord came upon him”?
God has no grandchildren - there is not a “generation removed”
-
How does this contribute to the cycles of faithfulness and falling away?
-
I know it’s conjecture, but can we talk a little bit about why the nation of Israel would trade miracles for might?
-
You closed with "May the story it tells be worthy of the God who loves you."
How do we deal with that word “worthy”?
Join us as we talk about Sid Koop's message from the weekend of May 22 & 23, 2021. I visit with a few other staff members as they reflect on 3 questions:
1) When you think about your own life, what does it look like for God’s voice to carry weight? What has this looked like in practice?
2) What does it look like for us, as a church, to use God’s Word in and through us? (Sid talks about how God’s word in Samuel is what gives authority and identity)
3) In our church family, what is one thing you’re hoping God speaks to, like He spoke into Samuel’s life (setting the direction for a king like David)?
Join Josh & Wayne as they talk about the story of Ruth and the teaching from May 15 & 16 2021.
Questions like:
Why is it important to understand the whole story and not to narrow in too quickly?
Why did you include the 3 questions at the end of the service?
(Review the questions:
-
How might you pray and remain open to God at work in your life even when it’s hard?
-
Where is God asking you to make a bold decision and step into His future for you?
-
What is the next right thing for you to do that continues your spiritual journey of discovering God? )
How are we to read and notice the little details? What other details are there that are important to notice?
How do we understand truths through the context that they are communicated?
How do we navigate being "open-handed" with our prayer life and our "prayerful imagination"?
How do we pray scripture?

Decision Making and the Will of God by Garry Friesen
Theologian Walter Brueggemann
Join Josh Raine & Scott Lanigan as we return to The Story and hear about the story of Samson from Judges 13-16.
BIBLICAL INTERPRETATION
- These stories can be hard to understand, with changing names & places. How should we approach these stories?
CYCLICAL
Israel is in a cycle of "do what they want", suffer and then cry out to God. This time, God begins to move, to deliver them BEFORE they ask Israel to deliver them. So is “history doomed to repeat itself”? Why is it important to understand the book of Judges?
CHARACTER
Super strong in muscles but super weak in character.
How do we understand spiritual privilege in life?
TEMPTATION
James 1 says 13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
How do we understand temptation as a follower of Jesus? I thought Satan and his temptations were defeated?
GOD IS WITH ME
Samson was under the delusion that he could do whatever he wanted and God would be with him.
- Does this ever happen to us?
3 KEYS
Why did you key in on...
Put God First
Choose Relationships Carefully
Failure is never final
Failure is only final when you refuse to get back up?
Final prayer from Paul David Tripp:
One of the stunning realities of the Christian life is that in a world where everything is in some state of decay, God's mercies never grow old. They never run out. They're never ill-timed. They never dry up. They never grow weak. They never get weary. They never fail to meet the need. They never disappoint. They never ever fail because they really are new every morning.
Join Josh Raine & Scott Lanigan as we return to The Story and hear about two judges from Judges 2:15-7.
Questions we consider:
- Can we expand on “whatever seems right in their eyes”?
I want to talk about what that looks like for us.
- Why is it that Israel remains God’s even though they keep failing?
You are not defined by your failure (Israel is still God’s)
“It doesn’t matter who you are, it’s that God is with you.”
-
You called us to ask “does faith even matter?” Can we walk through this process?
-
What do we need to learn from Gideon’s story?
-
Gideon is often best known for his “fleece” It seems like Gideon is testing God? How is that?
-
You make the point that it's "not you needing more of God... it’s God needing more of you". How have we experienced this, thus far in The Story?
-
What does it mean that "wherever you are, Jesus will start there"?
Join Josh Raine & Wayne Alguire as we unpack the third week of our Cultivate series; based on Colossians 1:3-6.
Questions we consider:
-
Cultivate Growth: How do we understand what it means to cultivate growth with Christ at the centre, rippling out from there?
-
World: What does it mean to reach the world for Jesus?
-
TC History: God raised up people and resources to do different things in different places at different times. How are we seeing what’s next and where will it be?
-
What does it look like to live out the strengths and weaknesses of the McManus' quote? Erwin McManus said, “When the church is a movement, it becomes a place of refuge for an unbelieving world. The church becomes where the seekers finally find the God they were searching for. The church becomes the place for the broken and the weary to finally find the healing and the help they’ve cried for. The church becomes the place where the lonely and the outcast are finally embraced and loved in the community of Christ. When the church becomes a movement and not a monastery, she becomes a place of transformation for the very culture from which we run in fear.”
-
What were some of the moments when you heard God during the Zoom Call with Peru?
-
One Percent Challenge: how do we navigate the call to the One Percent Challenge?
What does it mean to be a mosaic while we seek to change our world?
Join Josh Raine & Scott Lanigan as we unpack the second week of our Cultivate series; based on Matthew 22:34-40.
Questions we consider:
What about the synagogues and sects?
Where is the power in Love God & Love neighbour?
What’s the biggest qualifier for “love your neighbour” that you think is out there right now?
What did you need to leave out from your message?
Haddon Robinson: Your neighbor is anyone you see whose need you are in a position to meet.”
Value is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. What’s the trick to assigning value to someone else’s life?
God said I love you first. How should that lead us in our response?
Why do we think that “lead with love” is a soft approach? And why do we try to justify “tough” love?
What are practical next steps to get these words off the pages and into our hearts and into our community?
Join Josh Raine & Wayne Alguire as we unpack the first week of our Cultivate series; based on Colossians 1:3-10.
Questions we consider:
Why did you choose Colossians 1:3-10 for this weekend?
How would Paul have understood the great hope and amazing grace that the Colossians were experiencing?
Why is it so hard to follow Jesus in today's culture?
How do we balance personal life change and changing the world around us? Many people can be fooled into looking to Jesus as a personal guru, good teacher or the procurer of "the good life".
What is the most popular thing people do to cultivate growth? Why do you think this is?
In general, what does spiritual ignorance look like?
How are we to consider the practices you suggested: scripture, prayer, serving, generosity, story & worship?
How do we understand processes like "Emotionally Healthy Spirituality"?
Join Josh Raine & Wayne Alguire as we unpack the Easter weekend 2021 message; based on John 21.
Questions we consider:
What is "biblical imagination" and why does it matter?
What is a "thin place"?
Why is it important to understand the humanity of the disciples?
How do we understand our value as we bring to Jesus what we have (our fish to His breakfast invitation)?
How do you interpret agape and phileo as we hear Jesus talk to Peter about loving him?
What does it look like for Jesus to restore us and call us to something greater?
Join us as we visit with Wayne Alguire and reflect on our service from March 27 & 28, 2021
We consider questions like:
1) What are some of the practical outcomes of biblical literacy?
2) How do we navigate the weight of words in the Bible and culture?
3) Why would anyone ever think it's undesirable to follow God?
4) What practical steps can we take to choose to follow God daily?
Join us as we visit with Scott Lanigan and reflect on our service from March 20 & 21, 2021
We consider questions like:
1) How do we create altars to pause and give God the glory?
2) Achan "had a hard year". He was simply keeping something for himself. Why is this so wrong?
3) Really? We sin together and succeed together?
4) What are some safeguards to guard against being "holier-than-thou"?
5) God is entering into the land and devoting them to destruction. "Herem" means "devoted to destruction" and that's how the Bible talks about it. Why?
6) Consider what it means to be obedient beyond our knowledge. What does that mean?
March 13-14, 2021:

3) Do you have daily practices that help inform your worship? Prayer? Silence/Solitude? Simplicity? Devotional reading?

5) How does worship influence how we follow Jesus?
Join Josh Raine & Scott Lanigan as we unpack the weekend message from February 27 & 28, 2021. This was week 3 of "Wandering" and chapter 6 of The Story sermon series.
Our questions to consider:
1) What were some highlights as you close our chapter on "Wandering" (as we close the chapter)?
2) What does Christ-likeness mean?
3) How has God been present in our stories and how do we share it?
4) The Israelites are called to "imprint" God on the children but what does that mean for us?
5) Has the faith that got me here, take me there?
6) What do spiritual practices look like? What are the pros and cons?
7) Knowing the land will try to take the love of Israelites, how does God try to keep their love?
Your takeaway:
Don't give up. Let us not become weary. Keep stepping in. Don't stop reflecting Jesus into your every day lives.

Join us as we talk about our teaching from February 6 & 7, 2021.
We consider questions like:
Why did you include this quote?
“Waiting is essential. For it’s in the waiting that our soul grows quiet and contemplative and cultivates a capacity for awareness by which we can discern what God is doing when he does act.”
How do we make waiting purposeful?
Why did you decide to break it up with "What's up" with the people, the leaders and God?
How does curiosity affect us well instead of leading to criticism?
How do we understand the preparation that Moses has gone through with his waiting on God?

1) Why did you choose James 1:2-12 for our last weekend in The Messy Middle?
2) Why does life feel like such a mess? And how do we live out our theology in the middle of our mess?

Join Josh Raine & Wayne Alguire as they go over questions from the December 19 & 20 weekend teaching.
Questions like:
1) What inspired your thoughts behind this message?
2) Why is it important to linger?
3) Why is it significant that God is our our midst? How is that different? What should we expect?
“The really staggering Christian claim is that Jesus of Nazareth was God made man. That Jesus took on full humanity without loss of full deity. It is from misbelief, or at least inadequate belief, about the Incarnation that difficulties at other points in the gospel story usually spring. But once the Incarnation is grasped as a reality, these other difficulties dissolve.” - J.I. Packer
Join Josh Raine & Scott Lanigan as they go over questions from the December 12 & 13 weekend teaching.

Talk about: How are we sensitive to what needs to be said, based on the moment?
What's the difference between adult hope and child-like hope? And how do we build hope?

RESOURCES
The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
One.Life by Scot McKnight
You'll get a chance to hear from us today. Here are a few of the questions we'll chat through!
1) What’s different about the character of God in Exodus compared to Genesis?
2) Usually we want God to meet us (the burning bush example), but sometimes we need to make an unsolicited leap? Thoughts?
How does that impact us? or our life with God and with others?
3) When Moses seeks justice for the Hebrew people, it leads to murder. We sometimes seek justice by our own power and how should we think about this?
4) God reveals Himself to Moses, redeeming Moses' story, through the burning bush. We see an ordinary space become a sacred place. What can that look like for us?
5) What does it look like "to turn and wonder" or "to be curious"?
"The desire for connection is never weak on God's side of the connection."
6) Where have you experienced God's hope in your story?
Questions that we might consider:
We know that God has been doing a work in Joseph. But Joseph’s reaction to his brothers is interesting. What are your thoughts?
We need God to step into our process and remind us of His promise.
Why is the daily concentration on God’s word and awareness of your circumstances important?
Why did you point us to Habbakuk?
“Focus on what is happening in you, not to you.”
What does transformation look like?
What do we do with the “us versus them” mentality that can plague our culture right now?

3) From our working together, I know you’re passionate about prayer. Why is prayer something you’re passionate for yourself? What does the church need to know about for prayer in general?
4) Wayne leaned into our call to remember God, believe in Him, and follow? What does that look like when it comes to prayer? Remembering in prayer, believing in prayer and following Jesus “in prayer”
5) what has inspired your prayer life? What’s your favourite book?
6) What does someone need to know about prayer? It’s easy to find it super-overwhelming, what could be someone’s “next step”?
