Journey NOW

This week, the Journey community recounted so many stories of Jesus' invitation extending those his "insider" followers didn't want to accept. Ethiopian eunuchs, Gentiles, unlicensed demon exterminators and more. All of which spurred listeners to ask: Where's the line? Isn't there any limit to who's eligible for the Kingdom? NOW rountablers Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Rob Gonzales consider the logic of drawing boundaries around Christian behavior. Plus: Mike learns the Jeep Wave, Kevin check out the Costco samples in Europe and Rob O'Gonzales embraces his heritage--all while Suzie Lind is away fixing leaks with bee wax. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?

The JourneyNOW roundtable team, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind welcome a special guest, Nate Erre, for this week's discussion.

We began our study of one of the Bible's most famous passages, John 3:16, with a look at the words "For God." With the full roundtable panel back in studio, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons examine some great questions from our listeners. If Jesus really is the perfect and complete imprint of God, how do we square Him with the God of the Old Testament? And, what does it mean when Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." (John 14:6) Plus: Tim says "Chello;" Hilary Timmons catches Holy COVID; and Shekinah glory gets into everyone's clothes, their hair, the furniture and all over the studio.  - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW or want to share your family secret for laundering Shekinah stains?

With Mike Erre and Tim Timmons giving them the silent treatment this week, remaining NOW roundtable panelists Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind dig deeper into the honor / shame culture behind Suzie's recent message from John 21. After Jesus's crucifixion left his disciples behind, confused and ashamed, how did their breakfast with them on the beach redefine acceptance, honesty, guilt and reconciliation? What does that look like for us?  - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna tell us about your own feelings of shame? Join the discussion by texting us at (615) 861-9503.

This week's JourneyNOW roundtable panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Suzie Lind explore listener questions about how literally we should think about the afterlife and the Bible. What exactly does it mean to have a glorified body? Since Jesus bore the scars of his crucifixion in his resurrected body, will we have our own scars in heaven? And, what's the difference between the Bible being inerrant and being true? Plus: Mike discovers that those eggs are a lie, Suzie offers advice from Cheech Marin and Kevin is just Miss Congeniality.  - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna share your experiences driving four-cylinder V8s?

Last Sunday, our community looked to Jesus' models of grief and anger as we responded to the Covenant School shooting tragedy earlier in the week. This week's NOW roundtable group—Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and special guest Seth Erre—try to balance those feelings with Journey's core value of welcoming hospitality. How do we talk honestly about issues that have been so politicized without offending?
