This Good Word, Episode 105: God Part 3: Tribes

I've been enjoying my sporadic series on God - I hope you have, too. In case you missed the first two episodes, here are the links to Part 1 and Part 2.In this episode, I talked about the inevitable association many of us will have with a religious tribe - that group of people with whom we share spiritual affinity, similar beliefs, and shared values. I also talked about what happens when you feel like you no longer fit within that tribe, how to process that in a healthy way, and how to move into something different. I talked about how to lose your tribe without losing your faith.I talked about closed systems, broken systems, and open systems.I talked about what Jesus was really talking about when he said he didn't come to bring peace, but a sword, and that you're supposed to hate your father and mother.And I talked about how to graciously keep growing, even when it's confusing to you and everybody else.Enjoy the podcast.P.S. I also mentioned my new book that's coming out on August 22nd! Take a look!Music on today's episode by my good friend Matt Moberg. 

My work:

I host a weekly podcast. I wrote a book. I have a website. I am the pastor at a great little church. I am sometimes available to travel to hang with your tribe to help you all become more you. And yes, I do Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Oh, and if you’d like to stay up to date with my writing and events and such, you can subscribe to my email list. There. We’re all caught up.
