Season 3: Keeping up appearances–Episode 9 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It can be tough to keep the Mennonite ethic of good works from turning into simply keeping up appearances—acting like a good, upstanding member of the church even as things crumble on the inside. Kevin Wiebe and Andy Woodworth discuss red flags to watch for, and potential antidotes to this performative legalism.
Season 3: Spiritual disciplines–Episode 8 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Intentional time with God and practices of spiritual formation are essential parts of an abiding relationship with Jesus—but they also easily tip into legalism. Roger Helland, Meghan Larissa Good, and Moses Falco return to talk about the spiritual disciplines they love and how they foster deep reliance on God.
Season 3: The branch abides–Episode 7 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus says that those who abide in him will bear fruit, but that apart from him we can do nothing. We might understand this fruit as the “works” in the faith-and-works equation. What, then, does it mean to abide in Christ? Meghan Larissa Good, Roger Helland, and Moses Falco explore the role of works in an abiding relationship with Christ—and the consequences of disobedience.
Season 3: What we bind on earth–Episode 6 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There’s this fascinating moment in Matthew 18 when Jesus speaks to his disciples—for the first and last time—about this concept that what they bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what they loose in heaven will be loosed on earth. James Driedger and Lissa Wray Beal discuss what this means for us and how it relates to partnering with God in ministry.
Season 3: Health, wealth, and holy misconceptions–Episode 5 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The waters get awfully murky when we talk about the relationship between good works and good outcomes in life. We asked James Driedger and Lissa Wray Beal what exactly the relationship is between these things —and how misunderstanding this relationship can distort our view of God.
