  • Community

    The most recent teachings on Community have spoken to me and my family deeply. We were ready to give up on our current small group a month or so ago, due to the chaos of doing life with children, the difficulty of commitment, and the perceived gulf of differences between my family and the families at our group. We stuck with it, and your teachings have opened my eyes to the false hopes I was building up about what community would look like, instead of engaging with who was actually here with me.... more

  • Beloved church community ❤️

    I won’t blab to much so as to not risk sounding like a PSA ad. I just want to state how much I love my community here. The podcast is useful even to me even though I attend in person. Whenever I can’t make it to a Sunday service I know I can always catch up the next week. Love the teaching and the challenges of each message. I hope you agree🫶🏼

  • A Great Tool

    I’ve been listening to VanCity for about two years now and I always look forward to what’s next. Josh and all the other preachers bring a relatability and practicality that I don’t see in a lot of churches. I pray that VanCity would be a light to the community they occupy.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On Non-Violence: Interview with Sister Rosemary
Q: How do you practice forgiving those who harmed you or your community while living in a context of ongoing danger?
Forgiveness is walked through, not simply preached; you accompany people toward a level of forgiveness by showing love, especially by loving the children of those who harmed them, and by reminding them that God's image remains in every person.
On Non-Violence: Interview with Tim Mackie
Q: What practical guidance does this teaching offer for Christians facing real-world violence or military questions today?
The guests emphasize reading the Bible as a narrative with a singular focus on Jesus and the kingdom, urging believers to imitate self-giving love and to interpret violent stories in light of the overarching gospel, avoiding simplistic, weaponized readings.
On Non-Violence: Interview with Tim Mackie
Q: Why is the imagery of blood on the robes significant in Revelation and how does it relate to the gospel?
The conversation notes that blood on the robes symbolizes Jesus' own sacrificial death and the followers who are washed by the blood of the Lamb, linking suffering, witness, and proclamation of the gospel as the true means of victory.
On Non-Violence: Interview with Tim Mackie
Q: What role does divine accommodation play in understanding violent episodes in the Old Testament?
Tim describes divine accommodation as God meeting humanity where they are and progressively guiding them toward a fuller revelation, rather than endorsing every violent action. This helps readers situate violent narratives within a longer arc toward the ethical center of loving enemies.
On Non-Violence: Interview with Tim Mackie
Q: How do we reconcile the image of Jesus as a conquering king in Revelation with the nonviolent teaching of Jesus in the Gospels?
The hosts and Tim explain that Revelation uses symbolic and apocalyptic language to subvert violence, portraying Jesus as a conqueror who defeats enemies through self-sacrifice, not through violence. The violence is interpreted in light of Jesus' death and resurrection, suggesting a broader, redemptive arc across the biblical narrative.
