EP #141 - Liberty and Lawlessness
Humanity was made to be free. But freedom without constraints is no freedom at all. It is lawlessness, an illusion of freedom, which carries its own bondage. When we operate in freedom according to our wonderful design, it is life, joy, and freedom in love! Join me as I unpack this important, liberating message!

EP #140 - Grappling with Truth and Love in a Supercharged World
God is Love and God is Truth. And the truth in our inner person sets us free. We are told to speak the truth in love. But what happens when the truth is NOT lovely? Sometimes we can’t handle the truth. How do we operate in a confused and confusing world that needs truth, but in line with Love. Join me as I unpack this timely message!

EP #138 - Overcoming Insecurity
Every human being has struggled with insecurity. Part of the human condition involves the struggle to see ourselves rightly knowing that we are significant, valuable, noble and lovely past all our ways of being that or not. Inferiority and superiority all stem from faulty perspectives. How do we love self without narcissism? Join me as I unpack this important message.

EP #137 - Meta-narratives, Truth, & the Human Experience, Part 2: Interview with Pastor Larry McKnight
The word, “meta-narrative”, is a fancy sounding word describing our foundational assumptions (rarely questioned) that weave into story form in our thinking. This story --and it's particular assumptions-- influence how and why each one of us see and interpret data, events, and experiences the way we do. They affect how we see God, ourselves, our relationships, and every aspect of our lives. To grow requires that we are aware that we have meta-narratives and that we are humble and open to having them challenged as Holy Spirit leads us into all Truth. Join Pastor Larry McKnight and myself for this fascinating and profound discussion.
Gospel Scriptures:
1: God Chose Our Created Purpose and Destiny:
Eph 1:3-14
John 1:1-3 & Col 1:15-18
Genesis 1:26-2:3
2: Darkness and Sin Opposed Our Destiny and Brought Death:
Genesis 3:1-11
Rom 5:12-19
3: In Father’s Eternal Love for His Children, Jesus was His Plan of Restoration from Before Time:

John 3:16-17
4: We Receive and Believe In Jesus to Be Empowered to Become the Children God Already Knows Us to Be:
John 1:4-13
5: How Does A Person Receive and Believe In Jesus?
1 Jn 4:15-19
Romans 10:8-13

2 Corinthians 5:17-21
