    What's a Soul?

    Matt and Sylvia are back after a brief hiatus over the last couple of months! This episode, the two dive into the topic of spiritual formation and the topic of the soul. Do we have souls?

    In this episode, Matt and Sylvia get off on a random topic: coaching high school sports.

    Privilege, Power, and Politics

    Matt and Sylvia are back with another episode this week talking about social justice, the nature of the Kingdom of God as political but not partisan, and their evolving ideas of privilege and power (because the world needs more amateur podcasters talking about politics!). The hope is to share our own processing about these topics and how to be Christian in today's world. At the end, Sylvia wraps up the episode with a piece of Scripture that has been on her mind. Content begins at 3:35

    The Role of Rest In The Christian Life

    In today's episode, Matt and Sylvia talk about the role of rest in living the Christian life. What is rest? How do we balance a life of rest with work and active ministry? How do we adopt rest as a posture and work from that? We hope you enjoy!

    What Do We Do With Pain

    This week, Matt and Sylvia have a raw and difficult conversation about some heavy news Matt received this weekend involving the loss of a friend. They talk about pain and suffering in life, and how we're supposed to operate with our pain. The conversation touches on the idea of how cruciformity will naturally lead us to pain.

    Is God in Control?

    Today Matt and Sylvia sit down to talk about God's sovereignty. Is God in control? What does that actually mean? Why should we even think about it, and does it have any implications for us? We walk through pieces of scripture to help guide our conversation and, as always, would love any feedback. Enjoy!

    Plant the Seed and Go to Sleep

    This week we return to the topic of ministry! We continue with the faithfulness vs. effectiveness conversation and begin to ask the question "What is successful ministry?" We walk through a couple of Jesus's parables on the nature of the Kingdom of God to guide our conversation. We also touch on the difference between fruit and outcomes in ministry, and which one we should be aiming for. Enjoy! 00:00 Banter 04:20 Content

    Faithfully Effective

    When we talk about ministry, what's more important, to be faithful, or effective? What do these things mean in a ministry context? Is there even a difference? What is the Bible's logic about it? Matt and Sylvia dive into these questions on today's episode. They also talk about New Creation dynamics versus Old Creation dynamics, what they are, and how they play a key role in how we answer these questions. Hopefully this conversation can open up further conversation for listeners as well! Time Stamps 00:00-3:47: Banter 3:47: Content Instagram: @poddingthroughlife
