• Greed vs. Generosity
    Nov 19 2024

    How often does our vision for something differ from God's sovereign vision —making us blind to the blessing? Our latest episode is a challenge to rethink the common notions of greed and generosity, especially as the holiday season underscores the tension between gratitude and consumerism. We explore how societal norms can obscure the real condition of the heart, making it easy to overlook the subtle ways in which greed infiltrates both our personal and collective lives.

    Topics Discussed
    • Exploring the Sin and Root of Greed
    • Trusting God's Provision and Sufficiency
    • Radical Generosity and Faith in Abundance
    • The Power of Generosity

We explore the shifting demographics in key swing states like Ohio and Florida and how Trump managed to capture the allegiance of independent voters more effectively this time around.

  • The Mythmakers and Creating Christian Art
    Oct 29 2024

    This week we have a fascinating conversation with author and illustrator John Hendrix about his latest book—The Mythmakers: The Remarkable Fellowship of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. We explore the beauty of communicating really complicated truths through myth, story and poetry — similar to how God takes the stories of the world and tells us a truer story. Through the creation of myths we can be image bearers of God, the ultimate Mythmaker.
