The Unbroken Ground

What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? The Unbroken Ground Podcast explores ways to follow Jesus. Sometimes answers are presented and sometimes the episode ends with more questions than answers. Just like following Jesus, producing this podcast is a journey - one I hope you will join and invite others to participate in.

S2: Ep. 4 - I Don't Want To Go To Hell
Sunday Jan 28, 2024
Sunday Jan 28, 2024
Growing up in the Evangelical conservative South, I expected altar calls at the end of every sermon. A good majority of those sermons focused on the condition of your soul after death. Often, the Gospel was unwittingly reduced to a way to be sure you made it to heaven and didn't go to hell. This is part two of my scattered ramblings on the Gospel and what Jesus meant when He talked about the good news. Is it all about hell? Or do we need to push further into the narrative to understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus?

S2-Ep.3: Pearls and Things
Sunday Jan 21, 2024
Sunday Jan 21, 2024
If you were to go back in time, how would you want to be taught the Gospel? What methods would you keep, and what themes would you bring forward? What might you skip or leave out? I think Jesus' teaching is all about being obsessed with loving God and loving people. If you do those two things, you will fulfill the Gospel.

S2-Ep. 2: Let’s Flip Some Tables!
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Sunday Jan 14, 2024
Picking up on the last episode's theme, the topic of this Podcast is Jesus' heart. Thinking like God must mean that we love like God. And we can look to Jesus' example of how to have the heart of God. Do you love religious rules and requirements more than you love people? Do you support your political party even when it marginalizes and dehumanizes groups of people? In his letter, why does John tell us that if you say you love God but don't love your brother, then you are a liar?

S2-Ep.1: Thinking Like God
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
Sunday Jan 07, 2024
Do you know the heart and mind of God? Can you know how God thinks? As the new year starts, I talk about the importance of thoughts. Beginning in the same place, Phil. 4:8, I want to consider how our thoughts shape our world. I contend that what we think becomes what we say, do, and believe. And what we believe about God and other people will shape how we live our lives.

Ep. 51: Joy - Advent 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Sunday Dec 17, 2023
Hello, Fellow Travelers! It is the time of the year that we sing Joy to the World, but does that bring joy to your soul? If not, what does bring joy? Ep. 51 looks at how we can respond to Jesus daily. Specifically, we look at the question Jesus asks his disciples after the crowds leave him in John. Will you leave too? How would you respond? Would you do it with joy in your heart?
