9-11-22 - Adaptive Radiation Instead of Evolution
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
Saturday Sep 10, 2022
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
Friday Sep 02, 2022
Friday Sep 02, 2022
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
