“Life in Christ’s Faith” — Episode 17 in the Series, “The Letter to the Ephesians”
The next episode in our series explores Paul’s understanding of faith. We are familiar with the idea of faith as a belief. The faithful can profess, as many Christian creeds do, “We believe in Christ Jesus.” Paul points us to the reality that this type of faith is only a beginning—a doorway that can lead us into a life in faith. Christ Jesus himself is faithful to the Father; His faith can live in us when we open ourselves to Him and allow it to live in us.Support the Show.Many thanks to Cami...

“Small Man, the Apostle” ~ Episode 16 in the series, “Letter to the Ephesians”
In this episode, Jonah and Patrick take us back to the beginning of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, where he introduces himself as “Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God…” With that simple line, they take us on a journey—of Saul taking on the name Paul, of becoming an apostle or ‘sent one’ of God, and of discerning the many ‘wills’ at work in the depths of our beings. In the letter, Paul is inviting us to turn towards and unite ourselves more and more with the thoughts, feelings...

“All the Fullness of God” ~ Episode 14 in the series, "The Letter to the Ephesians"
In our last couple of episodes, Jonah and Patrick focused on Paul’s call to prayer (Ephesians 6:18). Here, they shift to an earlier portion in the heart of the letter to consider Paul’s own prayer for the community. It is a beautiful example of the kind of prayer Paul is calling us to, and can begin to help us unlock the mystery and work of prayer. What is the activity of prayer? How do we form a prayer out of our inmost selves? What shall we pray for?“For this reason I bow my knees before th...

“Supplicating Prayer” ~ Episode 13 in the Series, "The Letter to the Ephesians"
Our conversations focusing on Ephesians 6:10-20 have delved into the deep question and need that lives in every human heart—with everything that comes at us in this life, where can we turn for true protection? How can we face the attacks of this world, stay standing and cultivate a heart that is still open, whole and capable of generative, loving work? Once again, Christ shows us the way, demonstrating the protection offered by each aspect of armor as He made His way to the cross, faith...

Real inspiration
What Jonah and Patrick talk about is nothing short of amazing, rich, and real heart -food. But what inspires me the most is how they work together in conversation. Their weaving together of deeply listening to each other, thoughtful pauses, excitement of what the other one says and responding accordingly. This has been a true model to me for how I want to be with my fellow human brothers and sisters in communication. ❤️
Exactly what my heart was longing for!
I have never reviewed a podcast and I may never again. But everything I listen to these two brothers in Christ my heart just opens and longs for more and more. My love for my father is shared by these two souls. The conversations are so rich and pure of love, truth and wisdom. What a blessing to cherish. Thank you for this
Food for the soul
I can tell you that you will not find dogma or prescriptions here, but two followers of Christ Jesus exploring their own questions with heart felt wonder and joy. They are always exploring new and timely topics, challenge each other with brotherly respect and are open to having their perspectives change course.
