Christ In All Things Pastors Lance O'Donnell and Jason Schockman

In Part 2 of this live conversation between two best friends, Mark Tredray and Rev. Jason Schockman, the best friends talk about the development of their friendship, disappointments, and the centrality of God’s forgiveness. The banter is genuine but the central point is this: “What makes friendship work is when it’s grounded in the forgiveness and grace we have in Christ.” Whether you have great friends or want to learn friendship, theirs is a lot to learn from this conversation. Enjoy the banter and the wonderful Q&A in the last half of this episode.
This was recorded at Reformation Tap Society on February 18, 2024. Their talk is entitled, “Bonfires, Brews, and Board Games: Cultivating Christian Friendship.” Reformation Tap Society is held on the third Sunday at BrewFinity Brewing Co. (www.brewfinitybrewing.com.) from 5-7pm, September through May.

This is Part 1 of a live conversation between two best friends, Mark Tredray and Rev. Jason Schockman. Recorded at Reformation Tap Society on February 18, 2024, their talk is entitled, “Bonfires, Brews, and Board Games: Cultivating Christian Friendship.” As these two readily admit, they are “experts on friendship only inasmuch as we have made things work.” They recognize that there is both providence and volition in Godly friendship. These two are particularly interesting in helping people move from acquaintance to friendship.

“The triune God,” notes Dr. John Kleinig, “designed [the human body] for himself and for participation in his own eternal life . . . he designed it so that he could show himself bodily to other embodied people and give them bodily access to himself by his theophany, his physical appearance to them in Jesus. . . The human body was made to bridge two realms: the invisible, eternal realm of God and the visible, temporal real of this creation.” (John Kleinig, Wonderfully Made, 14) This view of the human body, that it is a “shrine,” contrasts sharply with the typically worldly view. In Part 3 of our discussion of the “Introduction” to Dr. Kleinig’s book, we explore this and some of the implications.
Though listeners do not have to have the book to benefit from the discussion, we encourage listeners to get their own copy of Wonderfully Made: A Protestant Theology of the Body by John Kleinig. We will quote from and discuss the hard cover version published in 2021 by Lexham Press.

This Part 2 of our re-published interview with Colin Murdy, which was recorded on August 3, 2022, in a moment when business was particularly tight for Colin. We’re republishing this as part of Season Two’s “Christian Entrepreneurship” series.
Part two includes important conversations about risk, learning, Godly discernment, God’s will, and the creative process. It was a delight for the hosts to listen to this again, and to share it again.
We republished this, in part, because our recording equipment is broken. We hope to be up and running with new episodes in February 2024.

This interview was first released as a bonus episode on August 5, 2022. We remastered it into two parts that—we think—fit nicely into Season Two’s “Christian Entrepreneurship” series.
Colin Murdy was simply being generous, as his parents taught him to be, but by placing a stunning leather journal in another’s hand he opened a window of discovery. It turned out to be an important act of Christian service. In this bonus episode of Christ In All Things we interview Colin, the founder and CEO of the Murdy Creative Company. Our interview begins with a very personal “thank you,” and our conversation ranges from the goodness of the creation, to acts of service, the importance of handwriting, entrepreneurship, etc. For more information about the Murdy Creative Company, see https://murdycreative.co or search for the company on your social media platform.
