Foundational Christian beliefs can be greatly misunderstood, and grace is no exception.  This video looks at why we complicate the things of God, our misunderstanding of grace, and the reality of what God’s grace is, His defining and empowering of our lives.

In part one of this 2 part series, Baxter and Jason are joined by special guest Paul Young (author of The Shack) to look into the question that haunts many hearts: Can we really trust God? Through looking at various life experiences including childhood trauma, Paul shares vulnerably about his journey toward believing in a God who is, at the core, trustworthy and good.

In this conversation, Jason and Catherine Toon discuss the themes of love, identity, and purpose as they revisit Catherine’s revised and expanded edition of her book, Marked By Love.

They discuss the importance of journaling and encountering God experientially. The conversation addresses the lies and insecurities we often believe about ourselves and the truth of our identity in Christ. The conversation emphasizes the transformative power of God’s love as they explore the idea that we are created in God’s image and likeness, prone to love, and designed to live in the fullness of His pleasure.

They also touch on the importance of trust and faith in navigating life’s challenges and finding rest in God’s presence. The conversation is filled with insights and personal stories that highlight the transformative power of understanding our identity in Christ.

This is the first of four conversations with Mathew Hester, focused on his book, The Rorschach God, and Jason's book, Leaving and Finding Jesus.

In this conversation, Matthew and Jason explore the idea that our experiences and perspectives shape our image of God and how this can lead to a distorted view. They emphasize the need to trust in God's goodness, as Jesus revealed, and to live in the freedom of knowing that we are loved and accepted by Him. The conversation also touches on relational theology, the nature of the Father, and the shift from a separation gospel to a gospel of union.

This is the second of four conversations with Mathew Hester, focused on his book, The Rorschach God, and Jason's book, Leaving and Finding Jesus.

In this conversation, Jason and Matthew discuss the story of the Emmaus Road and its significance in understanding the nature of God and our relationship with Him. They explore the idea that Jesus is always present and walking with us, even when we don't recognize Him. They emphasize the importance of revelation and awakening to the reality of union with God. They also highlight the freedom and confidence that comes from living in our true identity as sons and daughters of God.
