    Common Space: Dry Drunk Energy | Episode 14

    We all know the story about Jonah and the whale, but is it simply about a man getting swallowed by a big fish? Or, perhaps, does it go much deeper than that? Our hosts unpack the story and draw connections between the ancient text and recovery, our resentments, and much more. Thank you for listening!

    Common Space: Why We Pray | Episode 11

    On this episode, our hosts answer some of your questions about prayer. Because prayer can be so much more complex than we think. It means a lot of different things to different people.

    Common Space: Between the Suns | Episode 10

    Wrapping up our current exploration through some of the Genesis narratives, our hosts conclude the journey with one of scripture’s central figures: Jacob.

    Common Space: From Transaction to Provision | Episode 9

    One of the most shocking stories in scripture is that of Abraham and Isaac. You know the story: In Genesis, Abraham is visited by an angel of God, who instructs Abraham to sacrifice his son. Strangely, Abraham immediately obeys and begins a journey up a mountain with Isaac to do just that. What do we do with this story today? In this episode, our hosts unpack the context of this wild tale, share its absurdities, and invite listeners to interpret it differently. Thank you for listening!

    Common Space: Towers and Tongues | Episode 8

    What happens when, in Genesis, God looks down and finds a group of people trying to build a tower that reaches the heavens? In this episode, our hosts dive into the story of “The Tower of Babel.” Is this narrative really only about language, or could it be about much more? And what could we take away from the text today?

    Common Space: The Eighth Day | Episode 7

    We're no longer kids shown bright, colorful displays of Noah's Ark and cartoons depicting the tale. So, what do we do with the Bible's flood narrative(s)? Should we take the story at face value and not dive deeper for the core of the story's message? In this episode, our hosts do just that—they dive deeper. Chris, Ryan, and Darrell unpack the flood written about in Genesis, provide cultural context, and tell us why hope—despite a divine disaster that wipes out the world—is what it's all about.
