    Why Contemplation Matters: A Conversation With John Mark Comer and Ger Jones About God Has a Name (Part 2)

In this second of two conversations with Ger Jones of Vintage Church LA, John Mark and Ger discuss the practice of contemplation.

Instead, he offers us three doorways into the practice of contemplation and practical suggestions for integrating this practice in our lives.

    Slow to Anger | God Has a Name E4

    "We think of God's love and God's anger as at odds with one another. That's because we don't understand God's love or God's anger." John Mark challenges our perceptions of God, both the God who is always angry and the God who never gets angry, by showing in the Scriptures how God is both patient and wrathful, and why both are important for our understanding of who God is and what that means for us in our lives. Key Scripture Passages: Exodus 34v6-7, Matthew 21v12-14, James 1v19-20, 5v7-8 This podcast and its episodes are paid for by The Circle, our community of monthly givers.

    Yahweh Elohim | God Has a Name E2

    Why does God need a name in the first place? John Mark argues that it's because there are many "gods".
