The Wild Goose Session

This is a recording of the Wild Goose Session from a recent Boot Camp. Before the session begins, the men pray and ask God what the attendees need to hear. For this one, the men's team sensed they should share current observations on topics like the advice they'd give their younger selves, how they balance caring for their heart as they go after other's hearts, and what God is revealing in their lives.

133 | The Image of God (Human Nature Pt. 3)

Put on your Hebrew hat, it’s time to tackle one of the most productive concepts in the Bible. The Image of God. No single podcast can capture all that’s intended by that phrase, so in this episode, we focus on one dimension: the role. We are, in a word, tselem. Images. Idols. We are endowed with God’s authority to rule, and we affirm God’s ultimate right to rule his creation. Sam and Blaine dive in to our human ability to draw out potentials in creation that would not be realized without our intervention, and then explore the limitations put on our authority. It’s a view of humans that is both lower and higher than our everyday western view. And it’s a view that raises that stakes: the world needs you. Wherever you rule, you are able to raise the world to its highest potential, or else deeply destroy it.

Conversations on Prayer - Part 2

In the second episode in this new series, John talks with Morgan and Cherie Snyder about the role prayer plays in their marriage, family and individual lives.

132 | There Are No Rational Autonomous Selves or Social Animals (Human Nature Pt. 2)

In this episode, Blaine and And Sons team member Justin Lukasavige explore our idea environment as part of a continuing conversation on human nature. The team first unpacks what it means for an idea to be accurate in its essence, explores representationalism and Aristotelian hylomorphism, and finally begins to unpack the dominant views of human nature in the west. Because most people hold one of two assumptions: either human beings are rational free agents, with a mind that is separate from the body, or human beings are products of their environment, socially constrained, in which case society is the most real thing. The team explores the limitations of both paradigms, and prepares space for an alternative vision of humanity, centered in Jesus, that accommodates the insights of the two.

Conversations on Prayer - Part 1

01 – A Reason to Celebrate

Session 1: A Reason to Celebrate – Take hold of hope, beauty, and life in a hurting world. Maybe you’ve been whiplashed by an unexpected crisis. Or fear has gripped you, causing you to bury your dreams. Perhaps a sad ending has filled you with loss or hopelessness, and made your faith waver. Don’t despair! God means for us to have JOY—a joy from Him that is defiant in the face of this broken world. In this six-session video Bible study, Stasi Eldredge invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness. Using stories from Scripture, she expands on lessons from her book, Defiant Joy, to help us maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares us to live with expectant, unwavering hope.
