More of God 7.2.09 This discussion is a variety of points that we brought up that surround the fact that we know we have fullness in Christ, but why does it seem that at times we aren't experiencing it?   MORE (dial-up)   MORE (broadband)     Dispensable 6.24.09 Steve Crosby joins us again in this conversation that brings a new dimension into the incarnational life.  Is Father able to dispense the life of Christ through us to others, or are we holding tight the reins of our life?   DISPENSABLE (dial-up)   DISPENSABLE (broadband)     Earthen vessels 6.12.09 This discussion covers a wide range of realities of what it means to display Father's glory in this world as earthen vessels. We break out of the IC's mold of what is the significant display of God's glory.    VESSELS (dial-up)   VESSELS (broadband)     Frustration 6.5.09 Watching the recent political landscape being radically altered, a certain sense of helpless frustration can seep in.  But are we really helpless?  We seen in the past how the IC responded politically to situations, but how do you respond to these changes outside of the IC?   FRUSTRATION (dial-up)   FRUSTRATION (broadband)     Judgment on the church 5.29.09 David received an interesting article by pastor Loren Sanford about God's judgment not on America, but on the church.  This sparks a lively conversation that takes some unexpected turns.   JUDGMENT (dial-up)   JUDGMENT (broadband)     Boise 5.21.09 David recently returned from a gathering in Boise, Idaho that included folks from a variety of places in their journey.

Our insecurities drive us to control situations that we're uncertain or fearful about. We ignore the person to follow the principle.    PRINCIPLE (dial-up)   PRINCIPLE (broadband)   Giving 2.25.09 This podcast starts off with a visit to the board meeting of Valley Christian Fellowship, where Elder Rick is proposing the new Religious Stimulus Package.  The discussion moves into the area of giving, and the fresh perspective of being outside of religious obligation when it comes to giving.   GIVING (dial-up)   GIVING (broadband)     Belief Systems 2.18.09 Do we lean on a system of belief instead of Christ?  Even though we're out of the religious system, do we form an 'out of the box' belief system?  These and other areas are discussed in this fascinating topic.   SYSTEMS (dial-up)   SYSTEMS (broadband)     Walking with Father 2.11.09 Bob got an e-mail from a lady that shared her story about the possibility of losing her own job because her company is downsizing.  We discuss her reaction to this news, and about what it means to walk with Father.   WALKING (dial-up)   WALKING (broadband)     Adapting 2.4.09 Our conversation begins as Loren retells this wild dream that he wrote about on our blog back in 1/2007 that amazingly resembles the recent 'Miracle on the Hudson' story.  Is the institutional model of church coming down?  Or is it merely trying to adapt to the ongoing exodus of believers leaving the institutional church?   ADAPTING (dial-up)   ADAPTING (broadband)     Fellowship 1.29.09 One of the measuring sticks the institutional church uses to determine your level of commitment to Christ is fellowship.  You've heard the common question: "So brother, where do you fellowship?"  What really is biblical fellowship?  How much of  institutional programming about fellowship remains in us?   FELLOWSHIP (dial-up)   FELLOWSHIP (broadband)     Should They Return? 1.21.09 What should a person do who's relationship is shaky with the Lord and wants to return to the institutional church?  What would you say to them?  This discussion reaches into some of those areas as well as explores some ideas of what believers outside of the box could do to to gather together.   RETURN (dial-up)   RETURN (broadband)     What's Your Foundation? 1.14.09 2008 has obviously been a time of great shaking.  Once rock solid systems have since been shaken, causing quite an upheaval, and exposing the places we've been putting our trust in.  So how has this affected our relationship with Father?   FOUNDATION (dial-up)   FOUNDATION (broadband)     Layoffs 1.07.09 Loren was able to join us in this conversation about the impact this current economic downturn is having on the institutional church and ministries.  Is all the news bad?  Or is there something Father is doing in the midst of this?     LAYOFFS (dial-up)   LAYOFFS (broadband)         2008 Archives   2007 Archives   2006 Archives
