  • Keep ‘em coming.

    I always feel a bit forlorn when I have no more Locker Room podcasts lined up. What will I knit to? Tryg, you do an excellent, intuitive job as interviewer. I love the fascinating array of topics, and the fascinating array of guests. And just when I think a topic might be mildly boring, because I think I’ve heard enough on it, I’m always proven wrong. I feel a bit like I’m listening to Potter Watch, from the last Harry Potter book, like it’s this underground, encouraging, hopeful, keep-the-faith... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep. 188 - A Life Shaped by Scripture ft. Sue Hasper, Erin Graham, Hannah VanderVelde, Libby VanSolkema
Q: What would you say to people who think memorizing Scripture is too hard or that they cannot do it?
Erin says the challenge is making time and engaging the mind rather than lacking the ability. A few minutes of practice, regular review, and support from a group can help, and the process becomes easier with repetition.
Ep. 188 - A Life Shaped by Scripture ft. Sue Hasper, Erin Graham, Hannah VanderVelde, Libby VanSolkema
Q: How did you come to know Jesus?
Sue grew up believing in God and attended church, but a childhood camp decision left her uncertain about her salvation. In college, she wrote John 1:12 in her Bible and trusted in Jesus, which gave her assurance and marked the beginning of her spiritual growth.
Ep. 189 - What Does It Mean to Be Saved? (Romans 4) ft. Steve Leston, Heather Leston, Erik Veker, Tryg Veker
Q: Why do you think there's such an intrigue right now with Catholicism and all the ritualism that's associated with that?
Stephen Leston suggests that people drawn to Catholicism may be seeking family heritage and a connection to church history. He also argues that salvation is not earned through religious works, but rests on Christ's completed sacrifice.
Ep. 189 - What Does It Mean to Be Saved? (Romans 4) ft. Steve Leston, Heather Leston, Erik Veker, Tryg Veker
Q: Where did that idea, the three big questions, come from, and what are the questions?
Stephen Leston says the church has wrestled first with who Jesus is, then how people are saved, and now what it means to be human. He argues that Christians must engage the current question without abandoning the earlier ones.
Kingdom Stories - Ep 4. ft. Ryan & Hannah Krombeen, Ashlea Russ, Jeremiah Weismann
Q: What would you encourage people who have a passion or sense of calling but do not know what step to take?
Hannah recommends prayer and surrendering plans to God, and says people can share what they have without needing a large home or expensive meals. Ryan adds that trusting God can lead to unexpected opportunities to serve others.
