Ep 26 - The Problem With Getting What You Deserve (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the kingdom of God is the place where fairness gets turned upside down? Jesus tells a story about workers who arrive late but receive the same pay as those who worked all day. And suddenly, the real question isn’t about wages. It’s about envy, entitlement and the uncomfortable generosity of God. What if grace isn’t something we earn — and that’s precisely what makes it so difficult to accept?
Ep 25 - The Debt We Keep (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How long is too long to hold a grudge? And what happens when forgiveness becomes less about what they deserve and more about the freedom we need? Jesus tells Peter to stop counting. In this episode, we look again at forgiveness, resentment, justice and the debts we keep, including the ones we keep charging ourselves. Maybe forgiveness isn’t forgetting what happened; but refusing to let it decide who you become.
Ep 24 - The Art of the Awkward Conversation (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if Jesus' famous advice on conflict in Matthew 18:15-20 was never supposed to be taken as a policy document but is more about how to stay human when relationships get messy? In this episode we look again at Jesus' invitation to speak directly, listen, resist the urge to defend, and see that "wherever two or three are gathered" speaks directly into the holy and awkward work of finding our way back to one another.
Ep 23 - The Life You're Trying to Save (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if Jesus isn’t asking us to give up our lives, but to stop trying so hard to possess them? In this episode, we look again at Matthew 16:21-27, at Peter’s struggle with a Messiah who refuses to play by the rules of power, and at Jesus’ provocative question: What good is it to gain the whole world and lose yourself? A conversation about control, ambition, presence, freedom, and the strange possibility that sometimes the way to find your life is to loosen your grip on it.
Ep 22 - Keys and Questions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if Jesus' question, "Who do you say I am?" isn't a theological question at all? In this episode we look again at Peter's famous confession and discover something personal: as Peter begins to discover who Jesus is, Jesus begins to tell Peter who HE is. Along the way we get to play with some keys, some questions, and the possibility that faith is less about having the right answers and more about becoming people who open doors rather than lock them.
