    Steve Carter- The Divine Conspiracy Ch 6 (071)
     
    Steve Carter joins us on the podcast again today. Steve is the best selling author of the book, The Thing Beneath the Thing, he hosts a podcast about the intersection of the craft of preaching and who we are becoming called Craft and Character, he’s a coach to communicators, and is a Teaching Pastor at Forest City Church. 
     
    Steve and I first talk briefly about his newest book, Grieve, Breathe, Receive. We then talk about the sixth chapter of The Divine Conspiracy where we tackle how he stalked Dallas during college, our shadow sides and false selves, being honest about our motivations, intentional spiritual disciplines that we engage in, making decisions from trust rather than fear, and not bypassing the wilderness. Steve gives us a gift in our conversation today.

    069 - The Divine Conspiracy Project: Chapter 4 - with Jason Adam Miller

    069 - The Divine Conspiracy Project: Chapter 4 - with Jason Adam Miller

    Jason Miller joins us on the podcast again, this time to talk about Chapter 5 of the Divine Conspiracy, where Willard (and Jason) unpack the Beatitudes for us. Jason is a pastor who never quite felt at home in church, an artist who figured out the sermon is his song, and a teacher who still has some questions. he studied theology in the graduate school at the University of Notre Dame, and follows Jesus with the people of South Bend City Church, an eclectic Christian community known for its thoughtful teaching, inclusive vision, and commitment to its city context.
     
    Jason and I talk about the way that Willard opened the door for us to see a better way of engaging with the Beatitudes, where Jason’s own study and work has led him to make sense of these same opening words of Jesus in his sermon and he gives us a soap box about the way we’re misreading Luke 4. Jason always gives us so much to think about and today’s episode is no different.

    067 - The Divine Conspiracy Project: Chapter 2 with Brian Zahnd

    Brian Zahnd joins us again on the podcast to engage in the third chapter of the Divine Conspiracy. Brian is the founder and lead pastor of Word of Life Church in St. Joseph, Missouri. He’s also a pastor-theologian who has authored eleven books, including most recently The Wood Between the Worlds.
     
    BZ and I briefly talk about his new book, the unique story of how he first came across The Divine Conspiracy and the significant shifts it brought about in his own life, salvation as something other than a transaction that what happens to you after you die, moving beyond altar calls, how “Christianity without transcendence denigrates into politics”, and some of what they have created in recent years at Word of Life Church.

thoughtful depth

Mike has a thoughtful depth to him and he brings that to the conversations that he has on this podcast.

Help to put quarantine in perspective

This is great teaching from the book of Job to help us deal with the quarantine COVID 19 has brought about and all the changes to our daily life routine as a consequence. This helps deal with it and put it in perspective.

Good stuff

True story: I was just talking to someone yesterday about how it would be nice to hear Goldworthy’s take on things again. Literally less than 12 hours later, he announced on Twitter that this is happening. Weird. He’s always been relatable and that comes across in this podcast. Nothing fancy here, just one guy talking about common issues and questions we’re all dealing with.
