Still Ripples (Audio): Recent Episodes
Greg Joyce & Brian Nelms
Reasonable Faith. Defendable Truth. This podcast is dedicated to all those living in confusion, who are in pain, and who are searching. He who has ears, let him hear. Each week, Greg and Brian will present a study of God's Word or discuss what the Lord has laid on their hearts over the past week.
Join Greg & Brian as they reflect on Easter -- the central, key pivoting point in Christianity -- as they read through the Resurrection account in Matthew 28.
In Chapter 42, the conclusion of Job's story, he repents of any wrongdoing in his speaking of the Lord, and God restores Job by giving him more than he ever had before his trials began.
Greg & Brian discuss how we can learn from "the patience of Job" -- even today, thousands of years later -- when we are tested or made to suffer.

Join us as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas by reading the story of Christ's birth as told in the Gospel of Luke.
Christ teaches us to love one another, but -- even within the church -- that doesn't always happen. Why do we seem to attack our fellow believers with such haste, and what can we do to approach a Christlike attitude of forgiveness?

What if you were all alone... just you in a boat on a lake in near complete silence with nothing but the wind, water, and crickets to which to listen? "On the Lake" is about getting alone and getting real with God and talking about whatever crosses your heart and mind.
This week, Greg & Brian spend time thanking God for His perfect Love and how He satisfies us wholly and completely.
As believers in Christ, we are called to love one another -- but also those that continue in sin. The degree to which you obey this commandment will determine what kind of Christian you will be. This week, Greg & Brian discuss the "second greatest commandment" as well as the traps we can fall into as believers.
