Bear Good Fruit Podcast

Ben Nobles

Pastor Ben and Julie Nobles are on a church planting journey. They have a God-given desire to be part of a church that looks like Revelation 7:9 where all nations, tribes, people, and tongues are unified (but not uniform) in they're worship of God. The problem is we're so divided on scriptural interpretations and applications that our churches are more segregated and divided than ever in the history of the church. Why 2,000 years post resurrection does the church splinter even more? Our conviction is to unify all people to ultimately Bear Good Fruit as we grow spiritually.

    SO MUCH has happened since we've last recorded a conversation. The summer heat and preparation season of Tree of Life has the Wilderness on our minds. Is the wilderness inevitable like something that happens to us or essential for the journey to becoming more fully human? Is it something to avoid or something to embrace? How can we have a fruitful perspective on the wilderness and even experience pieces of the Promised Land in the midst of it?Plus, we've got plenty of updates if you're curious how the journey of planting has been going!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0:00 - Intro2:18 - Survival Trivia Game11:00 - Updates: Pentecost, Camp Awaken, & FL Trip18:03 - Ben's personal funk21:30 - Tree of Life's Location Update22:08 - Should we avoid the Wilderness at all costs?23:34 - What does Wilderness mean to you?25:18 - Israel is a Microcosm of Humanity27:00 - Developing a "Good Eye" (Optimism) around the Wilderness32:20 - Is the Wilderness inevitable or essential?34:04 - Prophet Jeremiah and his Wilderness38:00 - Jeremiah's Hope / God's Purpose of the Wilderness40:53 - Citizenship, Identity, & Purpose of Jesus Followers41:37 - Tree of Life's "Wilderness" Era47:00 - Open Invitation47:50 - Encouragement------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Go and Bear Good Fruit!Thanks for listening and if you want to learn more about our new ministry, check outTree-of-Life.Church
