Episode 117: Changing Culture, an Interview with Tammy Dunahoo

All In! Living the Mission of God

Culture eats strategy for breakfast. Famous words mistakenly attributed to Peter Drucker.It doesn’t matter who said it, it is TRUE. We can glibly talk about changing culture, but culture is a hard this to change. Yet, if you want real and lasting change, you must do more than change policies, you must change cultures.

Episode 116: Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good, and Interview with Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove

All In! Living the Mission of God

I first learned of Jonathan when I heard him interviewed on a podcast. His work sounded very interesting, so I bought his book, “Revolution of Values: Reclaiming Public Faith for the Common Good.” I ended up reading it twice. An evangelical Christian who connects with the broad spiritual tradition and its monastic witnesses, Jonathan is a leader in the Red Letter Christian movement and the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.

Episode 113: Posting Peace: Why Social Media Divides Us and What We Can Do About It, an Interview with Doug Bursch

All In! Living the Mission of God

Hey everybody! Welcome to the podcast. I have a confession to make: I have a love hate relationship with social media. Some days I feel really good and I check Facebook and I want to pull my eyes out. Some days I mess up and post something. I posted a really controversial post a while back (you can read it here). After I posted that I wondered: "why is everyone online so upset?" This week, I wanted to invite my friend Doug Bursch on the podcast to talk about his book Posting Peace.

Is there a way to walk faithfully through doubt and come out the other side with a deeper love for Jesus, the church, and its tradition? Can we question our faith without losing it?

Episode 111: An Interview with Wendy Nolasco, General Supervisor of The Foursquare Church

All In! Living the Mission of God

Today, we have Wendy Nolasco on the podcast. Wendy is the general supervisor for U.S. Foursquare Church. It is said she is able to leap tall egos with a single bound, able to freeze water with a single stare, and she's able to bring peace with a single word. I don't know if that's true, but what I do know is true, is she is a leader, a learner, and a passionate gatherer of people.

Episode 110: Jesus and John Wayne: Have Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Broken a Nation? An Interview with Kristin Du Mez

All In! Living the Mission of God

Hey everybody! Welcome back to a new season of All In! I wanted to give fair warning that we will be talking about some fairly controversial topics in this week's episode. It is my privilege to welcome Dr. Kristin Du Mez, author of the book . I read this book recently and it put together a number of pieces that had been building in my mind, but I had not yet been able to put them together. I had been a lifelong member of the Republican Party since 1988 until 2015 when in my estimation, it became a personality cult. I've tried to figure out how evangelicals have come to support systems,...

Episode 109: How I Gained Perspective When I Lost My Sight with Andy Opie

Today I interview someone I've wanted to chat with for some time, Andy Opie.

More Episodes

I used to think of sin as a crime that needed punishment or I would think of my sin as a weakness and feel shame, or a character flaw, something I need to hide. That somehow, sin was evidence that I did not really sell out to God that I was secretly rebellious. But I came to a point where I began to understand that sin is a wound from which I need healing. It started me on a journey that changed the way I view myself and others. I recently read a book that really captures this called The Pastor by Bradley Jersak and Paul Young.

Brad has authored several books and has been a guest on the podcast before and Paul Young is the well-known author of The Shack. This week we are exploring the perilous human journey from self-will and striving through defeat and despair to hope and the redemption found only through surrender.
