Question: How have we coped with loss? How did we get busy?

How is God revealed to us in times of pain?

View Details

This episode looks at the origins of the Ark of the Covenant, which also means the origins of the Tablets of Ten Commandments, which also means the origins of writing, which also means the origins of original sin. We will consider the strategy of "God in a box" and the danger of supposing that portable means anything less than Holy.

Question: How has our faith weathered in times of change?

View Details

2 Samuel 7 is the most important scripture passage no one ever talks about. King David is at the top of his game, with a unified nation and new capital city, Jerusalem. Now he wants to build God a house, a Temple. In response God's prophet pulls no punches, "I don't want a house." Temples can be trouble and worse yet distracting, and in time this Temple would be both. In this episode, we will begin the contrast between worship that is nimble and pivots (the ark), worship that is fixed (the Temple), with strengths and weaknesses of both.

John 21 is the last chapter in that Gospel and for many remains a mystery. It is after Easter, and the disciples are back fishing, and yet this feels right to me. Two clues will help us find new meaning in this beachside scene.

Reflection Question: What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?

View Details

View Details

Sometimes Bible stories make sense during a Study or podcast, but when we get home they just look like words on a page. This podcast episode will step back and examine "how" to apply old stories to our daily lives.

View Details

It often surprises people to learn that over half the Gospels take place in a ten mile stretch along the shore of the Sea of Galilee. This episode explores why so many stories happened in so little space, and reveal a mystery coming from the mud of the lake today!

Reflection Question: Where have we found God right under our noses?

View Details

The story of the woman caught in adultery is one of the iconic forgiveness stories, but it comes with a few mysteries of its own. This podcast will explore why this was such a "hot potato" topic, and what Jesus could possibly be doing as he wrote in the dust.

Reflection Question: How do we forget to "see" people?

View Details

Living Water is on break this week, but today we are sharing a favorite podcast from last year.  Please It’s one thing to say Jesus loved someone, it’s quite another to watch him do it.

Reflection Question: Is our relationship with God more of a relationship, or a contract?

Reflection Question:
What do authentic apologies look like?

View Details

King Herod remains an object lesson in both genius and insanity. This episode will seek to connect the dots between his story and a much older tale, reminding us that a life of faith is different than one ruled by appetites alone.

Question:
Which appetites, left unchecked, will destroy us.

Reflection Question: Where do you most feel the presence of Jesus?

View Details

Water is a big deal in the Bible, and not just because it's scare and they all prayed for it. God's people were also caught between two superpowers that were big and bad, and yes, full of water. In a world like this, it can be hard to trust, and yet Scripture says we must. 

Discussion Questions:
What does it mean in our world to "trust God?"

What would it be like to have everything but still not be free?

With the Rev. Richmond R. Webster. Many of us want to read the Bible, but we just don’t know how.

How has Grace saved the day?

How can we be “all in,” as we follow Jesus?

What does it mean to call Jesus our “King?”

How is this king different?

When it comes to faith, what is a “True Heart?”

View Details

The Bible has been used and misused for centuries, and Mark chapter 10 is one of those stories that can hurt without knowing the context. In this podcast we will see that Jesus’ teaching on divorce has less to do with legalism and more with our confusing “means” with “ends."

Scripture Passage: Mark 10:1-16

View Details

We know that Jesus used stories to teach, but we often fail to appreciate his using everyday stuff to reveal God in our lives. For Jesus, the land and its people are the Bible, and for the next two episodes we will leave Mark’s Gospel and spend time with what may be the best and most radical story of all. It’s a story of what happens when four travelers converge, and the good guy belongs to a hated minority. We call him the “Good Samaritan.”
