What does it really mean to be "in Christ"? Join us for this weeks episode as Baxter and Jason explore our union with Christ and how this is a pre-existing reality, established by the Father, Son and Spirit, and not something achieved through faith, repentance or personal striving.

In this weeks episode, Baxter and Jason explore the depth and mystery of prayer, moving beyond petitioning and asking – to a place of trust, union and participation in what the Father, Son and Spirit are already doing.

In this weeks episode, Baxter and Jason look at Thomas Erskine's theological challenge to Calvinism, and how this has impacted our understanding of the love the Father, Son and Spirit have for us. Through the episode, the discussion also highlights the influence Erskine had on other theologians including John McLeod Campbell and George MacDonald.

What if the return of Christ isn't necessarily what we've assumed?  

Further still, what if His judgement is not at all what fundamentalism taught us?  

Continuing our journey through the original mission statement of the Church, The Apostles' Creed, we dive Head-first into two interconnected subjects that have caused more division and fear within the body of Christ than any other: the return of Christ Jesus and future judgement.

Jason and Brooke connect with Ian Simkins and talk about community, the role of the table in ministry, and our identity being discovered in knowing ourselves as “the one Jesus loves.”

They dive into the challenges of tribalism and division and the need for curiosity and humility in engaging with others. Themes of self-worth, identity, and the concept of being loved are discussed as they explore the impact of workaholism, the need for validation, and the struggle to find value beyond accomplishments.

The conversation addresses the practical implications of being loved, the correlation between self-love and loving others, the importance of operating from a place of rest, the concept of mystery in faith, the beauty of curiosity, and the significance of valuing interruptions.

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.

In this episode, join author and speaker Terry Tripp on location in Myrtle Beach, SC, as he unpacks powerful, eye-opening truths from his book centered on the woman at the well. Through teaching and songs woven throughout the episode, Terry invites you into a deeper, freer understanding of grace and identity.

Along the way, Terry explores questions and insights such as:

This episode challenges religious assumptions, stirs the heart, and points to a grace that still meets people right where they are.

In this weeks episode of Across All Worlds, Jason shares a chapter from his new children's book series, I Change the World. Reading from the book Adam, Jason introduces a powerful vision of creation where Jesus is present from the very beginning—not as a distant figure, but as brother, friend, and companion.

The conversation that follows explores some of the central themes of the Gospel: the presence of Jesus throughout every story, the mystery of eternity, the relational life of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and the truth that God's purpose has always been rooted in love. 

Together, Jason and Baxter discuss imagination, personhood, belonging, and why the deepest answers to life's questions are found not in abstract explanations, but in the life, love and fellowship of the Father, Son and Spirit.
