We've opened up the listener mailbag to answer a question about how to actually "do" the stuff Andy writes about in his books.
This leads Andy to reflect on how often, "doing stuff" is the problem.
Join us as we grill brats on the deck, discuss what German philosophers would think about Michael Jordan, and discover the gift of simply "being" in relationship.

There are a lot of great stories out there. Star Wars. Marvel. Harry Potter. And then there's the Bible. Why should people care about it when there are so many other options for stories? And what makes Scripture different?
On today's episode Andy & Derek explore narratives, how they make meaning, and what it means for the Church to embrace people's stories of God breaking into their lives.

God Speaks!
Wednesday Feb 26, 2020
Wednesday Feb 26, 2020
Does God still speak to us today? Can God break into the secular world?
These questions haunted the Swiss theologian Karl Barth, and an experience early in his ministry shaped the way he saw God breaking into the secular world. Later, the German theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer would wrestle with these same questions.
In today's episode Andy tells the story of a young Karl Barth and how his understanding of God's revelation to humanity might be the missing link for a Church in the secular age.

Thursday Feb 06, 2020
Thursday Feb 06, 2020
In the modern age society and the Church are obsessed with numbers and growth. The downside is that this a quick path to burnout, exhaustion, emptiness, and depression.
Sociologist Hartmut Rosa thinks that the answer to this speeding up is finding resonance in our lives and relationships, and Andy thinks this is a valuable lesson that the Church needs to hear.

Ok Boomer! Generations, Time-Keeping, and Wisdom
Wednesday Jan 29, 2020

For centuries the Church kept time and looked backward - emphasizing the wisdom of the generations that went before.
Now, we've shifted. We're obsessed with looking forward and finding "the new".
Join us this week as we explore what this means for the Church and for our own lives.
