Michael walks us through the rather ominous ending of the Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 7:24-29.
There is something about the earth that needs salt. There is something about this world that needs light.
What is this salt and life stuff all about?
Michael walks us through the Beatitudes.
Blessed are you if you find yourself on this list for God is on your side.
We have begun our series on the Sermon on the Mount.
This week, we set the groundwork for the whole thing. What is it that Jesus is going to be teaching?
This is a new way of being human, a new way of living this life, for the Kingdom of God is here.
For this video, we explore the different types of poems that make up the Book of Psalms.
For the rest of the summer we will be in the Psalms.
In our first episode, we are exploring the question, "What are they?"
For our 11th episode, we have a conversation about whether people who have been taught or practice another religion their whole life would go to heaven or not. Joining me will be Paula Artmann.
Paula shares her own faith story and how she became a Jesus follower after growing up in a Jewish home/family. She is encouraging, hopeful, and sincere. Take this in!
This will be our last episode of "Living the Questions."
For our 10th episode, we were asked, "Did Jesus ever have a family?"
The moment I saw that this question was submitted, one person's name popped into my head. That person was Alex Hunt. Alex pastored and cared for me when I was a teenager, and then (along with her wonderful family) became great family friends of ours. She is insightful, intentional, and an all around wonderful person.
For our 9th episode, we were asked, "Is it better when reading/studying the Bible, to see it through the perspective of those times?"
Joining me to discuss this question is my friend, Jason Leonard. Jason is married to Anna, and they have three wonderful children. He is an ordained priest in the Anglican Church of North America. Jason is also the Executive Director and Pastor for The House, a college ministry on the campus of the University of Tennessee - Chattanooga.
Enjoy!
For this episode, we continue our conversation around the questions "How do I talk to my non-Christian friends about faith?"
Joining me is Amber Tolbert. Amber and her husband, Stephen, own and run East 59 Cafe. Amber is kind, funny, and cares deeply for others. I am grateful to know Amber, and am thankful that she agreed to discuss this with me.
Enjoy!
We had a question submitted about sharing our faith with our non-Christian, or even religious, friends. In light of this question, I immediately thought of my good friend, Pam Bates.
Pam does not know this, but she has served as a spiritual mother to me here in Birmingham. Her wisdom, experience, and friendship are all incredibly important to me. I am really thankful she agreed to talk with me.
In this episode of Living the Questions, I am joined by the wonderful, beautiful, insightful, and loving, Sara Bowman. Yes, I am her husband.
Sara and I discuss prayer - specifically, personal prayer (not corporate). She helps us understand a bit more how we can pray during a time like this, or any difficult time for that matter.
I hope you listen as intently as you possibly can to the wisdom Sara shares with us.
For this episode of Living the Questions, we continue our conversation revolving around the questions, "Where do we see God working in all of this?"
My best bud, Ty Garvey, joins us to discuss this question, focusing more on how it is that we can worship amidst our current reality. Ty, as most of you know, is a worship leader, musician, and all around fantastic human being.
In this episode we address the submitted question, "Why do we celebrate Easter on Sunday if Jesus rose on Monday?"
I am joined by my friend, Tom Fuerst. This was a fun and incredibly relevant conversation, since we just celebrated Easter Sunday. Tom clears some things up for us, and we have a good time talking about resurrection and what that means for us. I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
Here is Episode 3 of our Living the Questions series.
This is part 2 of where we discuss the question, "Where do we see God working in all of this?"
In this video, I am talking with a new friend of mine, Wes Durrwachter. He and I have gotten closer through our own questions, which have led to more questions and more conversations. Wes is someone who cares, thinks, and loves deeply. I hope you take time to take in what he shares.
Here is Episode 2 of our Living the Questions series.
This is part 1 of what has become multiple episodes where I discuss the question that you all submitted, "Where do we see God working in all of this?"
In this video, I get to talk with my pal, Jocelyn Lee. She is wonderful, brilliant, and helped me a great deal in this conversation. I think you will find the same to be true for you.
In this episode, I talk with my good buddy, Aaron Buttery.
We discuss our first submitted question for you all - Where did Jesus go after he died and before he was raised from the dead?
We try to do this briefly and hope that we aid further discussion (and more questions)!
