1. What is a "Parable" and why does Jesus seem to speak in such mysteries? Your hosts Pastor Troy Neujahr and Pastor Craig Donofrio explain this Jesus way of communicating to you and for you.
  2. Alright, it may not change your life, but we had fun doing this one. Troy is glad that he is not like Craig. Craig is glad that he isn't like Troy and the Pharisee is glad that he isn't like the tax collector. Join the boys as they talk about Thanksgiving and Luke 18:9-14.
  3. Jesus is born, and His birth is proclaimed to shepherds which includes good news for all of us.
  4. Gabriel appears to Mary with the shocking announcement that she is to be the mother of the Son of God. How should we view Mary?
  5. Fear strikes the hearts of the people who witness the crossing of the Jordan and the commander of the LORD’S army shows up.
  6. “Let your love be genuine!” But what if it’s not? The Apostle Paul gives us a list that seems hard to fulfill. If it is up to us, we’re in trouble. But if it is all in Christ, it is done. Love! “Butwhat’s in it for me?” When we fail, we flee to Christ. We know what genuine love is by looking at Christ, and in faith we receive genuine love from Him.
  7. Living sacrifices are holy and acceptable to God: What’s that look like? Redeemed and made new by Christ, we use the gifts God has given us to serve others and serve Him.
  8. I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger. Gillespie and Riley again read and discuss C.S. Lewis' The Joyful Christian. This episode, the Incarnation. Do we go far enough with Jesus' incarnation, to where He wants us to go with him?
  9. Why should I go to church when I can just worship God in my own way? Is it your church or Jesus’ church? Is God present in a way unique Church that He is not present elsewhere? Can one “Have Church” without the gathering of other Christians? Join Craig and Troy as they talk about all of these topics and more.
  10. It’s inconceivable! Gillespie and Riley continue to read and discuss Robert Capon’s “The Mystery of Christ... and why we don’t get it.” Faith, works, and more Christian absurdity.
  11. Would You Like to Play a Game? Gillespie and Riley return to Robert Capon to read and discuss the incarnation of Jesus and how we try to turn free grace into a transaction.
