The Chopping Block Mosaic Church

A lot has happened since our last Podcast! Tallgrass is now pursuing merging with The Well, a Wesleyan church in Manhattan, KS. So we sat down with Nate Rovenstine, District Superintendent for the Kansas District of the Wesleyan Church and Lead Pastor of Connect Church in Lawrence, along with Brian Smith, Lead Pastor of Westview Community Church in Manhattan, and Josh Siders, Co-Pastor of The Well to talk all about the Wesleyan denomination. Not only did we address 12 common questions, but also got to hear these men's heart for God and the mission of advancing His Kingdom.

Should I stay or should I go? For some in Manhattan, KS, the answer is to be a Stayer! For others, it's to be a Goer. In this episode of The Chopping Block, we talk about staying, going, the challenges of relationships in a transient city, and the opportunities we have with each to still lean in and impact the world through the Goers. We also get to visit with the Thorpe family and hear the rich story of their short time in MHK, their move to Hawaii, journey with adoptions, and their exciting plans to return and become Stayers!

Let's think deeply together about important topics! What the Hell? ;) In this episode of The Chopping Block, we talk about our Deep Thoughts discussion lunches. We recently finished up a challenging study on determinism and predestination and we're about to start up a new study on Hell.  We plan to address such questions as, Is Hell real?, Where is it?, What's it like?, How long does it last?, and Who goes there? Hear from Tallgrassian, Matthew Schmitz, about his experience with Deep Thoughts lunches so far. And consider joining us for this next study (begins July 16, 2019)!

Ever been confused about discipleship? Do you have questions after the recent teaching on Relating to Discipleship? Then this episode is for you! In this 13th episode of The Chopping Block we address and debunk 13 common misconceptions people have about discipleship.

Are you busy? If so, check out this brand new episode of The Chopping Block as we head to Sparrow Coffee to chat about getting down to ~70% scheduled capacity so we can better respond to opportunities for good works as they come up, often unexpectedly. True productivity in the Kingdom of God means intentionally pushing against the culture of busyness by creating some space in our lives so we can actually live and love most efficiently and effectively.
