“God is better than you think, and you can’t imagine him better than he is.” This is a quote from Bill Vanderbush from his book “Unveiled Horizons”. What does an authentic, vulnerable, intimate, and unhindered relationship with God look like? What does it mean to abide in the rest of the living Word? What would we like our children and future gener…

How we see God informs every area of our lives, including how we see ourselves and how we approach life. The truth is that humanity has a tendency to create God in its image with profound implications. As we go through the journey of life, our beliefs and convictions are subject to being challenged, forcing us to reconsider and potentially overhaul…

In life no one escapes the pain of being accused of wrongdoing. It is a level playing ground and is always painful. When the accusation is false it is particularly hurtful. How do we get over false accusations? How do we get over true guilt when the accusation is true? What about when we feel guilty, but the accusation is false? We need help and ha…

Very little in life is static. In my last episode, I discussed the constancy of change. Constant change can make life feel very scary and unsettling. What can we count on when everything around us is changing? Any human-originated construct or entity, including religion in any flavor, has and will continue to fail and disillusion us. What is left? …

Life is almost never static. Change is an integral part of life cycles, aging, vocations, callings within vocations/avocations, and relationships. Change can be scary and often painful. But it also is crucial for growth and a fulfilling life. How do we know when and what change to embrace and how to embrace it? How Join Catherine Toon as she shares…

As we are journeying in our walk of faith, we will inevitably disagree with one another. This can result in a myriad of negative consequences. Disagreement is inevitable, but disassociating with one another because of disagreements is unnecessary. We are to be famous for our love, not our agreement.

The crucifixion is the pivotal moment in the reconciliation of the world back to a God Who has always loved and pursued. Grappling with the immensity of this defies our intellectual concepts and is best broached with the mystery of theological poetry.

We were meant for freedom! But freedom is not just freedom from oppressive negative things, but freedom to experience the good things God has for us. But not all freedom is godly freedom. We can also abuse freedom when we use it in ways that exploit others. This violates the greatest command - to love as Christ loves. So God empowers us to handle o…

Commonly we talk about God as omnipresent, present everywhere. Scripture even says that God is in hell, Sheol, the realm of the dead. But then we flip into language of those in Christ and out of Christ or Christ in some but not others. There is objective truth of Christ being in all and all being in Christ and there is subjective experience of sepa…

In this age of questioning and deconstructing/reconstructing Christian faith, many treasures have inadvertently been cast aside because of the noxiousness of how they have been misrepresented or abused. One of these is the kingdom concept. The kingdom of God when rightly defined, understood, and manifested, is transformational on a world and cosmic…

Reflective solitude is a deliberate practice of tuning out the distractions and noise of the world and tuning into the presence and power of God. In our packed and noisy lives, practices such as these often get squeezed out and it is that very deficit that creates an even more crucial need. But as we turn our affection back to God in such life-givi…

It is not a sexy thing to talk about sin in our culture. Understandably, if you were brought up as a child or in the church with an overemphasis on sin with condemnation and fear of punishment, talking about sin can be a real trigger. The temptation, however, is to fall in the opposite toxic ditch and say, there is no such thing as sin or that, sin…

Life can be ever so confusing. How do we know what to do and how to walk when conflicting opinions all seem right? Where do we go when we are hurting, grieving, weary, discouraged, anxious, oppressed, or in cycles of bondage? We all need a safe place to retreat - one that is always constant, unwavering, and healing. That place is the place of Love …

God is the Light of the world and the Light of all humanity. There is nowhere He, as Light, is not, but our blindness to Him causes us to experience the hellish dynamics of darkness. But as Light He addresses our darkness by enlightening, healing, and transforming us. He gives us the joy of partnering with Him to release His presence as we reflect …

Christ died once and for all. That means we not only govern our souls, but our experience here on Earth. Our commission is to love others as Jesus did, to bring Heaven Here, Heaven Now. We are hampered, if not hamstrung in doing so, when our theological underpinnings proport separation, penal atonement theory, and old covenant constructs, including…

A wise person once said that “you are as sick as your secrets”. When we bury the painful guilt-ridden things that we have done or not done, we allow darkness to bathe us in shame and we end up hiding from ourselves, God, and others. This is where we get stuck. With those who have been impacted by the personal choice of abortion, this profoundly per…

Grief will come in every human life. As much as we hate it, try to avoid it, or stuff it, grief testifies of something precious lost.

Hearing that life and a Christ-following spiritual walk is all about Love can sound trite or even frustrating.

This episode was one like no other. We set out to interview Jonathan Mitchell and his wife Linda, who after 60 years of studying Greek, realized something was off with our translations.

Our views of God, punishment, sin, hell, eschatology, and relationship are profoundly affected by the lens through which we view God.

Our union with Christ, having become one with Trinity, is a truth that was established before the foundation of the world and walked out in the seen realm as Christ became human in the flesh, while still divine. There is so much mystery here, and as we start to see this revelation it changes EVERYTHING. Christ truly is all in all! Join John Crowder…

God is Love and in His love, He gave all His kids and creation the power of choice. You cannot say “yes” to Love if you cannot say “no” to Love. God actually submits to our will.

We were created by a beautiful and powerful God in His/Her image and likeness. However, when we don’t know who we are, we flounder in life - confused, clueless, in pain, and bondage.

Author and Pastor Brian Zahnd was ahead of Zootown Church in this reformation by about 20 years.
