In this episode, we unpack the sermon given by Pastor Joe Parks on Sunday, March 17, 2024. You can access the sermon here: • Dying for the Cause | Joe Parks
Some questions we attempt to answer:
How we do distinguish between the concept of "self" vs. the "you" that God created? Which one needs to die in order for us to thrive in our God-given purpose?
Pastor Joe says to focus more on being controlled by the Spirit than self-control. But self control is a fruit of the Spirit, so how do we walk this out while still pursing God (and not "self")?
Is there a right way to pray? (Do I need to look down or up? Close my eyes? Be on my knees?) Where do we learn these religious and legalistic ideas?
How does deconstruction (versus "reconstruction") impact our walk with God?
Important points to remember:
"Self" thrives in the absence of God (which is why we need to die to self)
Purpose is found in the Presence of the Father
The fruit of the spirit are not characterists that you develop. Only God does that.
Fruit comes OUT from the purpose God gives you
Judgement and being critical against others can hide itself in hyper-spirituality
DEconstruction peels away everything, REconstruction is healthy

Welcome back to the Open Ended Podcast, where we go deeper than the Sunday sermon. This episode's guest is Joe Chambers—pastor, counselor, and author from Colorado—who recently spent four days in a row at Faith Center for Soul Care Renewal, where he shared wisdom about the healing principles of God with our community. In this episode, we discuss the following topics... - the "father wound" we all have and how it affects our view of God's love - how we tend to wear our busy schedules as a badge of honor - what being "vexed in spirit" means and how to steer clear of it - learning to slow down and "find the doorknob" when God is knocking Slow down and have a listen! Then tell us what you have to add to the conversation in the comments... The Sunday sermon we are referring to (in addition to the evening Soul Care Renewal sessions that Pastor Joe Chambers hosted) is called "The Cure for Soul Fatigue" (from February 18) and is linked here: https://youtu.be/0z3evEJ0NWY?feature=shared Thank you for joining us!

Your hosts, Mike and Meg, are back for another episode where we go deeper than the Sunday sermon—this time with Pastor Cathleen Parks! In her message on February 4, 2024, Cathleen focused on what it can look like to STAND FIRM. Drawing from the book of Daniel in the Bible, we unpack chapter 3 in this episode, which lays out the experience of Daniel's friends (named Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego by King Nebuchadnezzar) who refused to bow to a golden idol that the king made of himself.
We discuss what global issues Christians are faced with standing firm about, and what it looks like to stand firm IN LOVE. Some topics discussed: abortion, living together and relations pre-marriage, examples and testimonies of "standing firm," and a rundown on Daniel 3.
The Sunday sermon we are referencing—titled "Standing Firm" by Pastor Cathleen Parks—is linked here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF8TTqz_c4U&t=0s
Thanks for being here!
