Examining Your Teachers
Dallas Willard once said that one of the most difficult tasks you can ever undertake is the work of examining your teachers and examining the impact they had on you and your view of God. This task difficult because it makes us acknowledge that our teachers are not perfect. It is an important task because it forces us to separate and clarify our allegiance to Jesus apart from our allegiance to human voices.

Loving People in Their Pain
One of the most difficult things we run in to when people around is are hurting is that we don't know how to respond. Maybe its our insecurity. Maybe its our individualism. But as God's people, one of the essential qualities of the community of God's people is that we learn to love people in their pain.

Cultivating Generosity
How do we become people who are truly generous? One principle that has been at work in our lives is the observation that we will never be truly generous unless we perceive ourselves to be truly wealthy. If we see ourselves as those who are always lacking and in need, we will have a very difficult time being liberal in our giving. The message of the gospel is not merely that we are saved out of hell, or that our sins are forgiven. It goes much further than that. It tells us that, in Jesus, we are loved, bought, accepted and redeemed. We are welcomed into the family of God and we are given the infinite riches of heaven itself. This mindset causes a revolution in how we see ourselves in the world.

A Story of Deconstruction With Denis Vishnevskiy
Deconstruction has definitely been a buzzword this past year. With the scandals in and around christian circles, comes another wave of disillusionment and doubt. How do we process this as christians? Too often, when we as christians come across a friend or loved one who is going through a challenging season in their faith, whether its doubt or questioning, we get very defensive and insecure ourselves. And that makes sense. We get defensive when our deepest beliefs are challenged.
One of the most important ways we can begin to work through this challenging question is to hear a story about how it actually happens in the life of a fellow christian. What we learn along the way is that honest questioning is one of the most important ways that God teaches us both of our own limitations, as wells as his faithfulness.
Customer Reviews
Starting from the beginning!
I just found out about this podcast. My commute is 40 minutes to work and I enjoy filling it with things that will help me to focus on God throughout the day. The topics are relevant and thought provoking. I appreciate the heart of moving forward with faith in a post Christian society. The respect shown to the churches we came from but pressing forward to be better influencers is a refreshing change. I can’t wait to get caught up.
Love it
Love the open minded discussion and love the new host! Great addition to a great project.
Engaging conversations about faith & culture
Listening to these conversations has challenged me to become more engaged with today's culture. I highly recommend this for everyone. You'll find this podcast especially amusing if you come from a conservative, religious background, as Andrey and Aleksey share their personal experiences and struggles growing up in a conservative church. Excited to hear more!
