Podcast: History — The Jesus People
Sometimes we take the ancient view when we look at God's work in history. And sometimes we look at the Holy Spirit's activity in more recent events. In the 1960s and 70s in the U.S., God intervened to reach and rescue a generation. Today, we call them the Jesus People.

Podcast: What is (Christian) Spirituality? Part 2
“Praying the scripture,” Jeanne Guyon tells us in her book Experiencing the Depths of Christ, “is not judged by how much you read, but by the way in which you read.” And it’s true: You can’t hang out with Jesus in the Word of God without it getting into your bloodstream — without it transforming...

Podcast: Encountering God in Scripture & Praying Scripture
The Bible isn’t merely a textbook to be studied or a useful life manual full of wise principles. Scripture is a sacrament — a conduit through which the presence of God comes to us, through which we encounter God. The point is not to read words and master them, but actually to encounter the one…
