Craig is a seasoned freelance video producer with over fifteen years of experience. In 2015, he co-founded Appian Media alongside his business partner, Stuart Peck, driven by a shared concern for the lack of engaging biblical media for young people. Their vision was to bridge the gap between the youth and Bible study through professionally produced, accurate, and free content. Appian Media has since produced multiple award-winning series, podcasts, workbooks, and children's videos, reaching millions worldwide.
Their mission is to remove barriers between people and the gospel.

Karen grew up Christian in America's heartland unaware of people of other faiths and cultures. She pursued the American Dream and built a successful corporate career. She never thought about sharing her Christian faith, especially across cultures. Then she met and married a man who had been persecuted and tortured for his Christian faith in Islamic-ruled nations. He took her to the Middle East on a life-changing adventure. Soon after the Bejjani's founded a ministry that would go on to inspire and embolden tens of thousands of everyday believers around the world to share their faith across cultures in their everyday lives.

Raised in Trinidad and Tobego, Troy was raised in a Catholic home and owes much to the path cleared for him by his family. But he also managed to break rules in unconventional ways, challenging norms and questioning teaching that seemed out of alignment. At age 14, he found himself in detention, where his teacher gave him a book on yoga. Troy's life would never be the same.

Do you avoid reading the Bible because...well, why should you? It's ancient and covered in dust. And yet so many people do read it. Is it possible that a person can be transformed by reading the Bible? If so, how?
Brian Russell (Ph.D.) is an award winning professor of biblical studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and a transformational coach for pastors and spiritually-minded professionals. He's also an ordained minister and has served faith communities in Kentucky, Virginia and Florida. His personal mission is to seek out, study, and embody the deepest truths about God so that he can share them compellingly, lovingly, and transformationally with others.

Anthony Rogers has two Bible Jazz records: 1) first stand-up to be on the show, 2) longest hair (face and head). We talk about how preaching and stand-up might be more similar than people think, what it's like to be a comic, how to honor our parents, and a little bit about the end of the world.
Anthony has been a standup comedian for over 9 years, he released his first comedy album in 2022 called “Doing Stand Up Comedy” that was recorded in Osage Beach, MO. His second special was released in 2023 called “Sunburnt in Hawaii” and it was recorded in Maui, Hawaii.

Paul Zolman has created a new way to demonstrate the principles of the love languages. It's a profound way to learn all five love languages to give them away. By giving them away, your vision will improve to the point that you can see them coming your way and respond appropriately. The system is so easy that even young children can be trained in this love giving system. Spoiler alert: it's a game where everyone wins.

It's not magic -- it's the media team!
Prentiss shares his background from the earliest days of hip hop in Harlem to leading the media team at a 12,000-member church. Whatever church context you're in, someone is flipping switches and pushing buttons to make it possible to see and hear what's happening on a Sunday morning. Prentiss and I had a blast talking music, tech, and church culture.

What happens when you die?
How does one transcend mankind to heavenly being, the known to the eternal mystery? One spring day in 1971, Calvin Cassady, a southwest Missouri teenager, was a victim in an unexplained automobile accident on a curvy Ozark mountain roadway. The impact caused the car that Calvin was a passenger in to burst into flames, plunging him into a clouded existence that included a walk through the valley of the shadow of death, leaving him on the threshold of eternal life.
Bridging the Gap is the story of that miraculous event and the life of fulfillment that followed.

A flight to New York on my way to Tel Aviv, and who do I get to sit next to? Sarah Austin Jenness, executive producer at The Moth.
Sarah has been on staff at The Moth since 2005. Despite rumors that it must be a laugh-track, her distinctive laugh can be heard on many Moth recordings. Each laugh is absolutely genuine.
The Moth is true stories, told live and without notes. We celebrate the ability of
true, personal storytelling to illuminate both the diversity and commonality of
human experience. Our work allows people all over the world and from all walks
of life: astronauts, students, a dental hygienist, a hotdog eating champion, a
mechanic, exonerated prisoners, veterans, Nobel laureates and everyone in
between, to share their stories on stage in front of a live audience.

John Arthur Greene's story has a huge arc, and it's a work still in progress. Singing from a young age, often in church, led him eventually to Broadway. But success on stage lacked the fulfillment he anticipated. And while he still loves his acting career and friends in the industry, he realized God was calling him to bring his gifts into the church and facilitate others' encounters with God in worship.

Brad and I have been friends for 33 years. The friendship began over music and on this episode, well, it continues over music. I have never known someone who knows more about Elvis Presley (and American rock and country music in general) than Brad. Who else can help me understand Elvis's love for Gospel music? Brad is a singer, guitarist, songwriter, entrepreneur, husband, friend, Ford owner, and occasional trumpet player. And this week, he's my special guest.

How does a rising PhD student end up living in the streets of San Francisco?
Damian is the author of a new book of poetry, "I Made A Place For You." After battling two bouts with homelessness, he channeled those experiences into poetry as a way to heal a fractured identity.
At his lowest, I found life's questions becoming harder to answer. He was ready to let it all go. It was at that moment that he gave God another chance, and the time came to answer the questions he had buried deep inside.

Shabbat, known in English as Sabbath, is a holy day which God commanded to be kept holy mainly be ceasing from creative work. It's one of the "top ten," in fact, the Ten Commandments. Get to know Sammy and how he was raised in a Jewish community, why he chose to move from L.A. to Jerusalem, and why Shabbat is so special.

What is "critical thinking?" Why is it so important? What does it look like in current events? And what is a "biblical worldview?" Is it mutually exclusive from critical thinking? Or is critical thinking, in fact, part of having a biblical worldview? Alicia Luca Dean is an author and speaker (among many other things) and we have a great time breaking down these ideas and more!

Buzz words! Diversity, equity, inclusion, and more... They might cause a buzz you like or a buzz you find troubling, but the only way to de-buzz them is to meet someone who has lived as an outsider, had to learn the unspoken rules of a culture, and now helps others do the same. And what implications does this all have for the American Church? Meet Lola.

Want to stop a party conversation in its tracks? Just say, "Hey everyone, let's talk about death!" Many people find the topic off-putting, and we make a great effort to avoid anything that even hints of mortality (besides watching the evening news and actions movies). But Chaplain Fred Grewe has sat beside with around 3,000 people as they faced the end of their lives. He helps us learn what death teaches us about truly living.
Fred's blog and book: http://fredgrewe.com https://www.amazon.com/What-Dying-Taught-about-Living/dp/0829820035/ref=sr_1_2?crid=29Z09NT0IU0H5&keywords=fred+grewe+death+life&qid=1649718834&sprefix=fred+grewe+death+life%2Caps%2C118&sr=8-2

How does a lost, broken geologist become a pastor and then dare to write a book about the Bible’s most relevant story for our day? The Kingdom Field Guide comes out of Brian's 8-year study of the parable of the hidden treasure (Matt 13:44). This is a crucial book for our tottering world. Not because the world needs another book. But because our world desperately needs to find God’s kingdom as really real.

Cathy says: "Most recently and much more importantly, I’m working on creating a new blogging platform where I will discuss ideas that have resonated with me, helping me to keep a positive perspective on life despite my depression. It’s all about my desire to keep a positive mindset to achieve my own form of happiness. I truly believe this will help many depressives who struggle alone."

Is it just about sin? Or is God's redemption plan much bigger? And if it is, what does that imply about the nature of sin and even our role in collective repentance?

If there is a Redeemer to bring us back to God, what should that Redeemer be like?

What assumptions lie behind this question, and is it the right question to ask? What does it imply about God, and how does Jesus life, death, and resurrection not only help answer it, but also help reframe the question itself?

This week we're looking at what Paul may have meant, or not meant, when he told people, "Do not be anxious." What are we supposed to do with those natural anxious feelings, anyway? Spiritual Director Lorina Meade will give some practical ways to pray and redirect our anxious attention to Jesus.

Part of the fun of Bible Jazz is the organic conversation that happens when we gather in the "Gray Room 2" studio. Welp...that ain't happening for the time being because of the COVID-19 pandemic. BUT--we're still going to get some content to you! For now, we're uploading audio from the week's teaching (including some great interviews!) while we're working on doing some remote interviews in the coming weeks. THANK YOU for sticking with Bible Jazz, as our greatest hope is to continue to engage a wide audience in matters of life and faith.

Northern Ireland. For many people around the world, it is a country whose history conjures images of civil unrest and militia-style warfare. Mike lived in Belfast in 2000-01 and has remained friends with several people there, including Beth McGardle. As we explore the idea of Jesus having a "bigger table" for people, Beth brings wise insight about the healing message of the Gospel in a divided country like N. Ireland. It's insight that any country struggling with division needs to hear.

We finally get our good friend and pastor Harlan Shoop on the show! We're talking about how to read "epistles," otherwise known as letters, in the New Testament. A lot of damage has been done by irresponsible interpretation, and this is one example. Let's see if we can avoid letting Paul's letter get lost in translation.

Can you smell the hush puppies? What is the Hebrew for "baldy"? What do female bears have to do with it? Experience the epitome of improvised conversation! (And don't forget to listen to the Easter egg at the end of the episode).
We'll take a look at the difference between "narrative" and "normative" as we read the Hebrew scriptures (also known as the Old Testament) -- what elements of God's Word before Jesus simply tells us what happened in the past, and what elements tell us what should always be happening? Jesus himself interprets the scripture of his ancestors, and our interpretation relies on him.

On this special episode, Mike and his college buddy Erik share some memories as they look at the art of improv theater, its skills and principles, and how it relates to life and faith. They even do a little improv live on the mic. Highlights include: - Listening and giving to your improv partners - Seeing your life as an opportunity not an obstacle - Improvising in your relationship with God - Napkin pants

Robin, Aaron, and Mike get into the dangerous and challenging journey Mary and Joseph would have taken from Nazareth to Bethlehem as we try to cultivate a better understanding of their world, and deepen the meaning of Christmas in our world today.
We also talk about horses who chew their hooves. So there's that. Our improvised conversation this week is about the extraordinary ordinary in the exchange between Mary and the angel Gabriel.

What's worth waiting for (besides the bonus soundbite at the very end of the episode)? Christmas, of course! As we begin this Advent season, we take a look at a real couple in a real place and time. Steeped in meaning from the history of Israel, this story echoes much of what God did in the past, and also projects much about the new era God would usher in with the messiah, as well as directing us to consider the roles of emptiness, silence, and waiting in our own lives.

"Band Name or Movie Title" kicks things off, and then new guest Kristen joins Randi and Mike in the Gray Room 2, located this week at the Tacoma Mall, for a chat about whether or not there really is enough to go around. If there is (spoiler: the Bible suggests there is) then why is there need? And how does God's overabundant generosity set us free to give of ourselves?

After a round of "Bible Jazz Feud," we dive into two more "half-truths" that pervade culture: 1) "God said it. I believe it. That settles it." 2) "Love the sinner, hate the sin." What effect have these half-truths had on our ability to learn, to engage our communities as Jesus did, and to be lifelong learners at the feet of our master, Jesus?

Lisa Franklin joins Aaron and Mike in a twist on "Would You Rather?" before jumping into this week's topic: in a highlight-reel, social media culture, it's tempting to let people see only our best selves, but Moses didn't have that luxury. In his first recorded act as an adult, Moses impulsively killed someone and fled from the law. He probably had no idea that God reveals redemption through broken people.

Brian and Aaron try to decide: "Golf course or housing development?" Then it's back to our series theme about the process of repentance with this week's theme: "Rebuke." Part of the human experience is dealing with untruths that the world, our own psyche, or even God's opponents throw our way. What can we do in response, and what role does that play in turning back to abundant life with God in Christ?

Pastor Matt Canlis of the renowned documentary Godspeed joins Mike and Aaron on this bonus episode! UPPC did an 8-week teaching series also called "Godspeed" (as well as a series of podcast episodes) based on Matt and Julie's excellent film and narrative of what God taught them during their time serving two parishes in Scotland. In this brief bonus episode, we explore together the implications of "Godspeed" in America, and ways to rethink the time and place in which God has placed us.

First-time guest and local restauranteur Derek Bray joins Aaron and Mike in kicking off the season of Lent with a game of "Food or Fictional Character?" Then it's into this week's topic: Repentance. Probably on the list of "things that are awkward to talk about at parties," repentance is Jesus' first command in Mark's gospel and integral to the Christian life. But what is it? What can it become in our lives?

When we recognize, confess, and repent from our sin, we are able to develop deep friendships and seek reconciliation. Judgment rules over kindness, bitterness over forgiveness.
If we are to have deeply meaningful friendships we must first befriend God. The journey from "Psuedo Community" to "Authentic Community" is one that only God can lead us through.
In order for Christians to have deep friendships, we must first learn to befriend ourselves by realizing our identity in Christ. Instead of envy or coveting what others have, we find our peace and satisfaction in Jesus.
Colossians 4 wraps up with instructions on prayer. Paul reminds us to be devoted to prayer, praying that the message of Christ is presented clearly. Making the most of every opportunity, speaking to each other with grace in our conversations.
We are instructed to put them aside along with our old self. And in its place, to put on our new self, which is being renewed in the knowledge and image of our Creator.
Colossians 3 reminds us that we have been raised with Christ so we should set our hearts on things above. We died with Christ to the things of this world.
Paul reiterates his mission, which is to present the Word of God in its fullness… a mystery hidden for ages but now revealed in us. This mystery is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
Paul prays that we might be "filled with the knowledge" of God’s will. He encourages us that the gospel continues to grow and bear fruit just as it is doing in us. He then paints a beautiful picture of Christ’s supremacy demonstrated by his eternal nature that both created everything and continuously holds it in place.
Historical and cultural context. Paul's use of phrases and images is loaded with political ramifications.
What began as a ragtag community of Jesus-followers begins to pick up size and speed as it spreads throughout the region and foreshadows the establishment of a global community united in Christ.
After Jesus' ascension, he "made good" on his promise to give the Holy Spirit. Jesus' followers immediately formed unprecedented COMMUNITIES that both subverted the status quo while inviting the entire world.
God's original covenant with Abraham was based on his grace to build a COMMUNITY for himself; his covenant with Moses was based on Law for that COMMUNITY, (which failed to keep them close) and God's new covenant reestablished a COMMUNITY of grace
God keeps God's promises. God's COMMUNITY, on the other hand, don't always follow suit. What leads our communities to go astray? What warnings does God give? And what will lead us back, as a COMMUNITY, to the arms of our Savior?
God made a promise to Abraham and remembered it when Abraham's descendents were enslaved. Having rescued them, God created a COMMUNITY defined by God's covenant, to be passed on for generations. They passed it on -- will we?
Two times in his relationship with disciples, Jesus challenged them to do their jobs in a new way. The first time was an invitation to be with him. The second time, however, he was getting them ready for his departure. What would this mean for them and their fledgling COMMUNITY?
The disciples rejected the idea of extravagant offering or the idea that suffering was the path to their own salvation. But later it would prove to be essential for the church to spread. What comes from suffering is the treasure of endurance, patience, experience and hope.
Suffering and God are not contradictions, but go hand in hand. The idea that God suffers with and for us is one of the most persuasive teachings for Christianity. I believe that God is closer to suffering than to happiness and that finding God in our pain brings greater peace and lasting joy than any earthly happiness. “We have found peace with God” is something achieved through the Cross. At the Cross we die to ourselves and surrender our will for God’s. This means every trial and suffering is redeemed for God’s glory.
God has reconciled all things. All means all. Under the Cross of Christ we know that we all belong to one another, that we are brothers and sisters in the same need and the same hope. We are bound together in the body of Christ which means we have the same destiny and purpose. We share the same suffering and joys, the same sorrows and successes, but most importantly the same condition of sin and guilt. Under the Cross we are no longer rich or poor, good or bad, Americans or Foreigners… we are one large congregation. What great love of Christ that binds us all together.
We rarely use the word “bearing” but the bible uses this word frequently. It is a word capable of capturing the whole work of Jesus Christ. That on the Cross he bore the weight of the world’s sin enduring all that was entailed in the Passion narrative. Church fathers use the term, “fellowship of the cross” as the shared burden of all believers to carry their own cross and that of others who suffer. If we are to grow in faith we too must share in the suffering and pain of this world.
It is said that both faith and obedience are only possible by our remembering and repeating. This was the gift and example of the Hebrew traditions and festivals. Remembering becomes a powerful thing in the present because the actions of God in the past are done by a living God who today makes me sure of what he has done. The past is gone but because something decisive happened for me on the Cross, the past lives into the present. It only requires a believing in our hearts. Because it is Christ who saves us, and not ourselves, remembering and repeating are crucial for staying alive in the faith. In my daily remembering of what Jesus Christ has done for me on the cross, I do not forget that God loved me from eternity and has not forgotten me.
How can we truly know God? Either I know about the God I seek from my own experience and insights (along with all the assumptions and meaning I place on history) that are entirely within myself… or I know about him based on his revelation of his own Son. We have to choose. If I say where God will be, I will always find a god who is agreeable and comfortable; one who my world view and preferences. But if it is God who says where he will be found, then it is almost certain to be a place that is not comfortable or easy. That place is the Cross of Christ. And when we draw near to the Cross we must do so in the way that the Sermon on the Mount requires. That doesn’t correspond with our preferences and is most often completely contrary. But this is the place where we find God… the Cross of Christ.

When a couple divorces, both partners and many of their friends, family and children die a little along with the marriage. Psychologists have listed divorce as the No. 1 stressor in life. In His Word, God openly states that He hates divorce. Divorce is costly, both economically and emotionally. Healing from a divorce is painful and may take place over a long period of time, perhaps years. Preventing divorce from becoming a possibility is hard work. Couples need to honor each other and not treat each other with contempt. Encouragement must replace criticism. Openness should be the norm, not defensiveness. And finally, a couple needs to be connected, instead of withdrawing from each other. A marriage can flourish providing these conditions take place.
Becoming parents is incredible, but it is also one of the greatest transition times of a marriage. Sometimes it causes some major areas of conflict. If money, housework, child care, extended family matters and free time weren't issues before parenthood, they certainly become issues. Fortunately, there are ways married people can prevent from being overwhelmed parents. Not becoming obsessed with parenting is one of the ways, along with attempting to stay healthy (get as much rest, exercise and correct eating as one can). Discerning how to spend our time is also key as is the ability to "get away." Finally, hurried parents need to know they can get help - from friends, extended family, the church, and of course, from our Heavenly Father, the one who best knows parenting.
In our culture, single people are a diverse group. Maybe they are single because they have lost a spouse through death or divorce. Some have never married, in which they may be totally comfortable, or maybe they long for a mate through marriage. For all these people, especially those who wrestle with their singleness, there is a role model in Jesus Christ, who was single His entire life. Those singles that are longing for intimacy can learn from Jesus, who had perfect intimacy with His Father. We can share in that intimacy, whether single or married. In fact, God is the only perfect source for intimacy.
Myths about marriage seem to die very hard. We take comfort in some of these myths because to do so may be easier to than to face reality in a marriage. However, embracing myths may damage a married union in the end. Three myths of marriage that can be harmful include "if it's right, it will be easy," "if you love me, you will change," and "all my needs should be met by my spouse." Our human condition and our desire for sincere relationship make us want us to believe these myths. However, what we really need is a life-transforming relationship with God. If we are first changed by the love of God, then with His help, marriages can also be transformed.
This Week, Heath Hollensbe, Aaron Stewart and Jill Hamilton discuss.
Falling in love—easy. Staying in love—well, that's another story, because it most definitely takes conscious effort. As this message asks: How different would our relationships—especially romantic relationships—be if we made love a verb? What would change in our communication with those with whom we fell in love? How would we want to serve the other person? Using as a base Philippians 2:3-8, we're led into an understanding that staying in love requires our having the same attitude of humility in relationship that Jesus had in his time on earth. And we're given practical ways to put the necessary effort into making lasting, loving relationship happen.
