Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is the part-two sequel of An Antidote to Self-Centeredness Disguised as Spirituality. The bottom line is, it's more important than ever to embrace the gospel story as the ultimate lens through which we understand life or pretty soon everything's going to become blurry. Which underscores the new for a new kind of catechism - a fresh way to understand and communicate the concrete, biblical scaffolding of our belief system as Christ-followers. Dr. Trevin Wax calls what we're talking about today a disruptive discipleship tool...Alli and I can guarantee it'll put fresh wind in your sails. So please grab your favorite beverage and your Bible and pull your chair right next to ours on this proverbial porch - we're really glad you're here!
Hello, my friend. Thanks for joining me today.
This summer on the podcast we've been studying the life of Joseph to learn how God helps us get through painful and difficult parts of life. This week we're deviating a bit from Joseph to take a look at the role his brothers play in the story. Maybe as you're listening you relate more to Jacob's other sons. If that's you, be encouraged, friend - God is still working.
Have you ever struggled to connect with others? In this episode, Christine Caine continues unpacks the powerful encounter between Jesus and the Samaritan woman in John 4. She reveals how Jesus built bridges instead of walls-choosing compassion over condemnation, relationship over religious activity. With practical wisdom, Christine challenges us to stop trying to play the Holy Spirit in others' lives and start showing up with love, empathy, and truth. Whether you're longing to grow in relational impact, spiritual wisdom, or gospel effectiveness, this message will help you live in a way that reflects the heart of Jesus.
What you'll learn:
- How to discover common ground.
- Why revival often begins with connection, not correction.
- Practical ways to share the hope of Jesus with those around you.
This is part of our Resilient Hope Summer series - real talk and encouragement to keep your faith strong in every season.
