The Faith and Science Podcast

9-25-22 - Letting Resources Slip Away

The readings this week are Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15 and Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16, or Amos 6:1a, 4-7 and Psalm 146, 1 Timothy 6:6-19, and Luke 16:19-31.  This week we look at what it means to conserve and being aware of our impact on others. We see good examples of this like Patagonia and poor examples of this like our use and value to Helium.  Can we learn and grow fast enough?  Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question: 
No question directly from the episode this week but a general question.

The readings this week are Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 and Psalm 79:1-9, or Amos 8:4-7 and Psalm 113,  1 Timothy 2:1-7, and Luke 16:1-13.  This week we look at what it really means to be a "Good Land Manager?"  In doing so we have to take into consideration everything that is affected by us in our day to day lives including small mammals. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question:

9-11-22 - Adaptive Radiation Instead of Evolution

The readings this week are Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28 and Psalm 14, or Exodus 32:7-14 and Psalm 51:1-10, 1 Timothy 1:12-17, and Luke 15:1-10.  This week we look at evolution.  Why does God go after what seems insignificant?  This is because it is to God and doesn't want to be apart from us also.  When we look at how we understand speciation and how that process happens we start to understand at a deeper level why it does matter to God. Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question: 
Are you spending time with the group?
Are you spending time with the rest of the flock?
Are you spending time with the other nine coins?
Are you spending time with the family?  
Or are you part of that one that's leaving everything else behind?  #FaithandSciPod

9-4-22 - Life and Discipleship REQUIRES Vulnerability

The readings this week are Jeremiah 18:1-11 and Psalm 139:1-6, 13-18, or Deuteronomy 30:15-20 and Psalm 1, Philemon 1:1-21, and Luke 14:25-33.  This week we look at vulnerability.  We all experience it in life but try to run away from it as much as possible.  Nature is not as fortunate and has to face it head on.  When Jesus calls us to do it as well are we as willing to do that? Thanks again for taking the time out to listen to this and I hope this is a tool that you find useful.
Remember to answer this week's question: 
Do we allow ourselves to be vulnerable enough to allow God to work in our lives the way that God intends to work in our lives? To mold us into the people that God has designed us to be molded into? #FaithandSciPod

Remember to answer this week's question: 
One, Do You know of any other companies that recognize the person who allowed that business to happen?
 
Two, Do You allow yourself to be humbled enough to recognize those who made You the person that You are and pull people up who need to be recognized? #FaithandSciPod

Remember to answer this week's question: 
Are You ready to be renewed? Also, are You ready for the change that renewing is going to cause? #FaithandSciPod

What changes are You going to make in recognition of the time that we're in?
