EP #144 - Surrendering to Love - Audio

God is always engaging with His sons and daughters to provide, heal, empower and bless, but also to conform His treasured kids into His image.

EP #141 - Liberty and Lawlessness - Audio

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.

EP #137 - Meta-narratives, Truth, & the Human Experience, Part 2: Interview with Pastor Larry McKnight - Audio

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 t...

EP #129 - The Frequencies of Love - Audio

We live in a supercharged world of offense, division, and polarization. Christ prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one. To answer the prayer, we as sons and daughters of God, were given one commandment - to love and God loves. Love and His eternal commandment is so sweeping, nuanced, and impossible in and of ourselves, that we continually need to bathe in His love and grow in our revelation of Him. Join me as I explore this in fresh and beautiful new ways. Stay connected with Ca...

EP #123 - Belly Button Theology - Audio

One of the most damaging things that religions do, including, and unfortunately often in the most toxic way, the Christian religion, is put some people “outside of God”. We have been guilty of this, because we are terrified that, if we don’t create such distinctions, we are sending people or are going ourselves to hell with some form of eternal conscious torment. Yikes! But Christ, as the Eternal Word, repeatedly told us to look to Him, not to ourselves, our own understanding, and our efforts. W...
