Living Your Dash Podcast Sean Lee

"There is no such thing as a permanent Senior Pastor. In fact, we are all interims at what we do." It's true, isn't it: all we are in this world are stewards of our time and opportunities.

On August 22, 2022, Rick Hale signaled his intention to retire, setting in-motion actions that would lead to a retirement that has always been inevitable, but now steadily drawing near.

What does a Senior Pastor do as he faces retirement? What should the congregation do? What can the average disciple learn from their Head Shepherd as he navigates his own ride into the sunset.

It's exciting to be a part of this major historic event in Grace's history - but it also makes us a little nervous! But Pastor Rick assures us: we have nothing to fear!

Listen-in on this revealing podcast!

Are you in the midst of a fire you can't outrun? Has the blaze taken everything from you except your existence? Or are you watching helplessly from the shore, watching a friend or loved one struggle to reach the shore in the storm? Why does this have to happen? Why does disaster (literal or relational), disease, financial ruin, depression, anxiety, and unceasing pressure exist? Didn't God promise to protect us from all that? Or did he say something else?

"Where is God when it Hurts?" is the series that takes a no-punches-pulled look at the whys and what-nexts of life's unwanted events - and finding that the purpose is so much bigger and grander than we could ever imagine.

Make sure you listen to the conclusion of the podcast of this powerful series.

🏠 DISCOVER more about Grace Community Church: https://www.roswellgrace.com/Rick, this is the last of this series on Job. How has it been received by people?

Dallas Willard, a UC Berkley professor of epistemology and philosophy died in 2013 after a tough battle with pancreatic cancer. He was also a deeply devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. "The reason the book of Job is in the Bible partly is to help us understand we're in a battle. You might think if you read the book of Job it would be a good idea not to call the devil's attention to yourself by being too good, but testing does come. In the time of testing, we want to cling to God, not doubt him, but cling to him ... You want to understand that sometimes the suffering doesn't come for that reason; it comes because there is an enemy who wishes to make you doubt God."

In this new series, "Where is God When it Hurts?" Pastor Rick Hale embarks on a 30,000 foot level study of the book of Job. Make sure you make all of the series, but especially this first message: "Behind the Curtain".

The late Tim Keller wrote: “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” Keller believed in the hope Jesus brought to us, that when he died, his departing words were: “There is no downside for me leaving …”

Easter changes everything. It's not an occasion to remember a dead religious figure, it is the triumphant climax of the crescendo of the "earthly" ministry of Jesus - one that still continues!

In this fitting discussion of Mark's Gospel account of Jesus' resurrection, we see Jesus as Lord over death and the grave, and what that means for you and me!

We all want the right answer. But the right answer can be useless if we don't understand the question. CS Lewis brought this up: "Can a mortal ask questions which God finds unanswerable? Quite easily, I should think. All nonsense questions are unanswerable. How many hours are in a mile? Is yellow square or round? Probably half the questions we ask - half our great theological and metaphysical problems - are like that."

But one man had a TurningPoint because he asked all the right questions. Listen to Rick's message, then come back and listen to his conversation with Sean.

Have you ever felt like you weren't enough? Dr. Brene Brown triumphantly declared war on the war we wage on ourselves: "Sufficiency isn't two steps up from poverty or one step short of abundance. It isn't a measure of barely enough or more than enough. Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough." But Dr. Brown is the first. The Apostle Paul had to figure it out, too, and what he discovered uncovers for us this powerful truth: "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!" Listen to this great podcast with guest speaker, Alan Gedde.
