EPISODE LIST
Dr. LaTanya Carter: How Our Mind Impacts Our Ability to Hear God
Dr. LaTanya Carter is a bit of a unicorn. She holds a PhD in psychology from Michigan State University and a Masters of Divinity from Moody Theological Seminary. During this conversation we lean on both sets of her expertise to unpack how the battle for our mind impacts our ability to hear the voice of God.
How To Listen To God
Hearing God speak is not as mysterious or mystical as it sounds. In fact, with practice we can learn to listen for God’s voice in each moment of our lives. In this episode, we unpack how to listen to the voice of God.
Cultivating a Creative Sabbath, with David Miles
In this conversation, we talk with David Miles about the importance of sabbath and how to cultivate a rhythm of rest in our lives. David is a local pastor with a passion for the practice of Sabbath. He is currently doing his Doctor of Ministry with an emphasis on Sabbath at the Eugene Peterson Center. And yet, he is wrestling with this practice in his personal life.
Working For The Weekend
American culture has twisted our relationship between work and rest; expecting us to keep up the pace which leaves us tired and worn out. One of the consequences is that we find ourselves working for rest instead of living in God’s original design; a rhythm of life that rests once a week so that we can live from the overflow of God’s rest.
Learning to Slow Down, with Geoffrey Neal
In this episode we talk with Geoffrey Neal, a corporate securities attorney, about how he has been pushing back against the unsustainable pace of corporate America and the fruit that is coming from his life as he learns to slow down.
What is the Fruit of the Pace of Your Life?
We are in the midst of a burnout epidemic; our lives are moving too fast and it’s wrecking our souls. Living like Jesus means that we must move at a different pace; fully present in a fast paced world.
Jon Nicholas - Living From the Overflow
In this episode of Free And Light we sit down with our friend Jon Nicholas to discuss what it means to live our lives from the overflow; instead of empty. Jon is the Worship Pastor of The Woods Church in Warren MI and is the founder of the Overflow Conference, a worship and creative conference.
Breaking the Cycle of Hurry and Anxiety
Our culture of hurry has created a low hum of anxiety in most of our lives and it’s damaging our souls. As Dallas Willard said, “hurry is the great enemy of spiritual life.” So what can we do to fight back against the pace of the world? We can slow down and learn to settle our souls. In this episode we unpack the spiritual Practice of Settling.
Chris Greer: Finding Real Life in the Practices of Jesus
Chris Greer left Orange County, California to get out of the crazy pace of life. His deepest desire was to follow Jesus in the rhythms He modeled for us. After five years of settling in Little Rock, Arkansas, Chris has found a deeper connection with God and discovered his purpose for the next season of his life.
What is the “Good Life” and how do I find it?
We are all searching for the “good life”. We all have our own definition of what it looks like and, if we are being honest, it is what drives most of us day-to-day. But, what if the life we are pursuing isn’t the life Jesus has for us?
Season 2 Trailer
In Season Two, we are going to dive deeper into the nine practices from season one by organizing them around three key themes of what it takes to live the life Jesus offers. We’ll talk about what we’ve learned in the last year and how God is shaping us to be more like Him. And, we have a few new things in store to help you seek Jesus well so that you can see the fruit in your own life. Join us January 23rd!
