In this weeks episode Jason and David are joined by good friend Paul Young to explore how to experience God’s presence even in the midst of life’s storms. This is a profound conversation about trust, love, and finding God “at the bottom of the boat”—a place of stillness, surrender, and clarity amid chaos.

All creation is the manifestation of a Love (God) Song, the Logos (logic) of God. Music is not illogical but more “logic” than we can comprehend. And so, to appreciate Music, the Music, the Logos, must comprehend us. Physicists argue that all elementary particles are different ‘notes’ on a fundamental string, such that “The universe… is akin to a cosmic symphony,” (Brian Green). Aslan sings Narnia into existence. In Tolkien’s The Silmarillion, God through angels sings creation into existence, and when a fallen angel sings discordant notes, God Himself sings those discordant notes into a deeper harmony. The dissonance creates a longing for consonance and ecstatic delight in a deeper resonance. In the Revelation, a slaughtered lamb stands on the throne (the top of the ark) and sings meaning into the Seven Sealed Scroll as all creation worships. Reality is a dance, and if you’re not dancing to the Logos of Love, perhaps you don’t actually exist. When you nail the Logos to a tree, what do you get? Sheet music, dance steps, science, and technology — it has its place, but it’s not the same as feeling happy or dancing in the moonlight.

“The Logos became flesh and we have seen his glory—grace.” Jesus lived gracefully; He lived His life like a dance. The dance fulfilled the law, although it was not at all what we expected. We had the sheet music; we had the knowledge of good and evil; we had the law in a coffin in a stone temple. We had the dance steps, but we were all surprised by the Dancer and His Dance.

Listen in to this week’s episode and hear Baxter and Jason talking about the “All inclusive, Vicarious Humanity of Christ”, exponential moments, language and historical context, the resurrected life, the mercy seat, you’ll hear about Grandma’s Bible, generosity and revelations and why we’re apart of hopeful conversations.

Jason and Baxter get personal again this week and chat about the Emmaus Road, the main ingredients of a Crawfish Boil, knowledge with no revelation, staying present, getting set free from the “isms”, why we’re not on probation, the best communicator on the planet and getting inside our brokenness.

Another great conversation with Jason and Baxter as they dive deep into the Manifest presence, the carving of fishing lures, the life of Jesus, breathing Christological air, what constitutes a miracle, Skubula, how everything is sacred, and the difference between servants and friends.

Embracing grace, we realized on the cross Jesus demonstrated His forgiveness of all sin for all time.  And then we come to 1 John 1:9, telling us if we confess our sin we will be forgiven.  Did Jesus single sacrifice release us from all sin for all time or didn’t it?  And this is what this episode, “Confessing Sin,” digs into.  Enjoy.   

Introduction:  God’s unconditional love, forgiveness, and inclusion often are rejected because of God’s wrath.  Ironically, biblical wrath reveals God’s unconditional grace.  In the next 28 minutes, you just may see wrath as you’ve never seen it, in God’s grace.
