Description
Here are two brothers on a journey to discover the fullness of God’s life and want to share their journeys with you. As former pastors, authors and counselors, Brad and Wayne offer an engaging mix of wisdom, humor and compassion for those sorting out who God is and what it means to follow him. They talk freely about the failures of religion and the fallacies of secularism in our culture in an open, accessible dialogue that will be equally helpful, enlightening and entertaining to believers and nonbelievers alike. They celebrate the adventure of growing in the life of Jesus in an ever-increasing secular society in a way that is intelligently accessible and practically relevant.

In the last podcast of the year Wayne takes on a question from our comment line about whether we need to work for a living if we trust God for our finances. Is working part of the curse of the law Jesus set us free from, or is it part of how God provides for us? That opens a door to conversations Wayne has had a lot lately with authors, musicians, and other creative people who would like to do what they love for a living. That also includes those who would like to be available full-time to help other people grow in this journey. Is there a way to make that happen? Why do we do when our desires and our income stream don’t merge? Podcast Links:

Wayne takes time to read through some wonderful listener input since the last podcast as people are learning to jump off the barreling train of the world’s expectations and religion’s demands, to engage a more incredible process of God’s transforming work. This journey is revealed not by find a method to implement, but by listening to Father’s simple invitations to think and live inside his revelation. Our curriculum is life itself, where God makes himself known in the unfolding joys, disappointments, and struggles in life. As we learn to live in that process with him, not only can we be at peace even where we’re still incomplete, but also embrace the joy mutually enthusiastic relationship with God and others.

In a world replete with books, seminars, curriculums and classes designed to teach you how to have a relationship with God, why is it that so many people have a difficult time connecting? What if none of those things can provide a relationship with him, and in fact when we become more focused on a curriculum than we are responsive to him, they can actually be a detriment to our the very relationship we seek. Wayne responds to two emails that show the problems of trying to trust a curriculum to do, what only the Holy Spirit can do. Then he shares his current thoughts about how we can encourage and equip others to a relationship with God, without the message getting twisted into further expressions of human performance.

Does religious thinking actually make it more difficult to know God and if so, what can we do about it? Kent Burgess of Manchester, IL joins Wayne in this podcast as they discuss that religion isn’t all that different from most of the ways the world thinks in that it drives us by fear and performance to try to control what’s coming at them. As Kent shares from the dramatic changes in his thinking over the last decade, they talk about how political rancor and religious thinking actually draws us away from the space where God is most easily known and where we can enjoy a growing relationship with him. Both Wayne and Kent have engaged people recently that only found the God they were looking for when they got away from the demands of religion and connected in more natural ways with the God of the Bible.

This past summer was a strange one for Wayne and Sara as God set about to do a deeper work of healing in both of them and through that process connect them more deeply than they’ve ever known. After thirty-seven years of marriage, they were caught by surprise and challenged at the very core of their marriage, but the came out with not only a greater connection to each other, but also a greater understanding of what love is. Sara joins Wayne in this podcast for an intimate look at the process of healing they are still going through and how it is changing both of them. They are discovering how much marriage is not just a commitment to be life-long partner; it is also the place where God deals with our selfishness as he teaches us what it truly means to love another human being.
