May 11, 2023. The Truth Is…

On Sunday, Pastor Rob Gonzalez talked about fear and faith, challenging listeners to name their own fears. The responses we got were overwhelming. This week's roundtable panel—Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons, Nate Erre and special guest Seth Erre—explores their own experiences and understanding of how healthy faith and fear overlap.

Plus: It's SummerTim; Seth lives his best rock 'n' roll life and Mike and Suzie compete at graduation.

This week, hosts Kevin Dixon, Dave Verhaagen, and Sam Barnhart expore questions about questioning faith? Why does rethinking, questioning and being skeptical sometimes make us feel bad? Why are some people pre-disposed to deconstruct their understanding of God, while others remain comfortable? Is it just human to doubt, and how risky is it for our mental health?

The JourneyNOW roundtable team, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind welcome a special guest, Nate Erre, for this week's discussion. As they continue their close reading of John 3:16, the words “so loved” from Sunday's message prompted lots of questions about the difficulties of loving. In particular, what does it mean to love your enemies? What does it require of us?

Plus: We talk favorite movies and celebrity obsessions, and you'll never guess who crushes on Brad Pitt….

We began our study of one of the Bible's most famous passages, John 3:16, with a look at the words “For God.” With the full roundtable panel back in studio, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons examine some great questions from our listeners. If Jesus really is the perfect and complete imprint of God, how do we square Him with the God of the Old Testament? And, what does it mean when Jesus says “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me.” (John 14:6)

Plus: Tim says “Chello;” Hilary Timmons catches Holy COVID; and Shekinah glory gets into everyone's clothes, their hair, the furniture and all over the studio.

With Mike Erre and Tim Timmons giving them the silent treatment this week, remaining NOW roundtable panelists Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind dig deeper into the honor / shame culture behind Suzie's recent message from John 21. After Jesus's crucifixion left his disciples behind, confused and ashamed, how did their breakfast with them on the beach redefine acceptance, honesty, guilt and reconciliation? What does that look like for us?

This week's JourneyNOW roundtable panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Suzie Lind explore listener questions about how literally we should think about the afterlife and the Bible. What exactly does it mean to have a glorified body? Since Jesus bore the scars of his crucifixion in his resurrected body, will we have our own scars in heaven? And, what's the difference between the Bible being inerrant and being true?

Plus: Mike discovers that those eggs are a lie, Suzie offers advice from Cheech Marin and Kevin is just Miss Congeniality.

Last Sunday, our community looked to Jesus' models of grief and anger as we responded to the Covenant School shooting tragedy earlier in the week. This week's NOW roundtable group—Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and special guest Seth Erre—try to balance those feelings with Journey's core value of welcoming hospitality. How do we talk honestly about issues that have been so politicized without offending?

Plus: Mike takes his Easters prep to Prime Video.
