gospel

In this episode, Terry Crist and I have a great conversation and tell a lot of stories of engaging others in a way that brings dignity, relationship, curiosity, and hope. How can we love our enemies? How can we follow the better way of Jesus that brings hope? How can we in our fractured world have conversations of truth full of grace, seasoned with compassion? How do we pursue the way of peacemaking? How do we build bridges, not barriers? How do we have curious conversations with people? We learn that our gospel is embodied and proclaimed. We learn that listening is an act of love. Join us as we discover how to listen well, engage others who are more alike us than we realize, and point us all to the way of Jesus that brings hope, reconciliation, and peace.

Terry Crist is the co-lead pastor of City of Grace in Phoenix alongside his wife, Judith. He has a TH.M. and a D.Min. and has a business certificate in nonprofit management from Harvard Business School. Terry is also passionate about community transformation and promotes adoption and foster care through his work in state government.

In this episode, Skye Jethani and I have a fantastic conversation around what we get wrong about heaven. Spoiler alert – almost everything! How can we center Jesus in our faith and not heaven? Why is the gospel more than just going to heaven when you die? How can we taste heaven here and now? How can we be people where heaven and earth overlap? What is the new heavens and new earth? Will the earth be burned up in fire at the end? We answer these questions and more. Join us, as we get a Jesus centered view of heaven and be inspired to live a life that carries the presence and Spirit of God in the world here and now.

An award-winning author, speaker, and co-host of the Holy Post Podcast, Skye has written more than a dozen books and served as an editor and executive at Christianity Today for more than a decade. Raised in a religiously and ethnically diverse family, his curiosity about faith led him to study comparative religion before entering seminary and pastoral ministry. With a unique ability to connect Christian thought and contemporary culture, his voice has been featured in The New York Times, USA Today, and The Washington Post, and he’s spoken to audiences throughout the world as diverse as the U.S. Naval Academy, The Chautauqua Institution, and the Lausanne Movement.

In this episode of Pastor To Pastor, Pastor's Jason and Seth talk about their upcoming Mother's Day services, family and life in general, before hitting the main topic of Truth over reverence. Do we simply miss the mark on sharing the Gospel for the sake of trying to be relevant? Do we care more about pleasing pleasing people's ears over helping them prepare their souls? Let's Talk About It! 

In this episode, Pastor Jason and Pastor Seth share a review from the  previous Sundays service and get into the topic of evangelism. Together they discuss why evangelism is so important and pitfalls of the church and individual Christians.
