  • Freely we have been given

    Grace & Mercy from our Lord Jesus Christ; freely He asks us to give. Here’s a podcast that shows what that looks like in real life.

    Wow Michele Cushatt crushed it!

    “God is God…He’s a mystery”

    She’s a witness of how God can use suffering to make us better as long as we don’t become bitter.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Amanda Hope Haley on faith, scripture, and archaeology.
Q: Why would you say this work is important for us?
Because archaeology provides essential context that helps readers distinguish between what is in Scripture, what is history, and what traditions have developed over time, enabling a deeper, more nuanced understanding of biblical texts without displacing faith.
Mark Moore on wisdom and self discovery.
Q: What inspired the shift from theory to practical wisdom drawn from Proverbs?
Mark explains that the genesis was a personal journey through the Proverbs, identifying 54 categories and then consolidating them into 52, with a focus on applying wisdom to everyday life rather than just studying it.
Wayne Jacobsen on love beyond performance.
Q: How does your concept of justice relate to love in everyday life?
Love fulfills justice by transforming how we treat others; true justice emerges from a life saturated by love rather than obligation and performance.
Wayne Jacobsen on love beyond performance.
Q: What role did trauma and marriage play in shaping your understanding of love and presence?
Trauma and a fractured marriage became catalysts for learning to love through vulnerability, accountability, and seeking healing with professional help, ultimately reinforcing that love is not conditional on performance.
Wayne Jacobsen on love beyond performance.
Q: How have you experienced growing in living loved and engaging with God's presence?
Wayne describes a journey from seeking love through performance to recognizing that God loves first, which changes how he responds to trials, pain, and the people around him.
