Battleground WisconsinWealthy before public schools and healthcareAs the State Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee takes up public education funding, education advocates call for the veto of any budget from the Legislature that does not adequately fund education. Will the Governor listen to his grassroots base, and fight for a budget that meets Wisconsin’s needs, or sign a partisan budget that shortchanges the people of Wisconsin?
We encourage listeners to stop by our table at the Wisconsin Democratic Party convention this weekend and pick up a sticker supporting a veto. We invite our listeners to volunteer for a Day of Action Phone Bank next Tuesday, June 17th...2025-06-1250 min

I've visited there a couple times while on cruises but never thought to jump onto a surf fishing charter (Shocking, I know) and am seriously regretting it. Wes takes us through the seasons of fishing there, how he fishes the area, what's around to be caught, his charter business, and SO much more.

Living Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap46 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 4 - No CourageLast episode of this series.
We discuss not merely having courage to stand up for Christian values in society, but also having courage to stand up when your "tribe" (political party, etc.), does, sends, or supports something unbiblical - even if you agree with the rest of what they do.2023-09-1841 minPrière - RCF BordeauxMt 16, 21-27 - Antoine TingbaChant final : La croix seule me suffit - HILLSONGDistribué par Audiomeans.

In this episode we begin by looking at how evangelical Christians can be viewed as not caring about poverty issues because we're more concerned about things like eradicating abortion. But the fact is that we should be concerned about BOTH, and we can be - without giving up convictions about either. Here are some ways to display that concern.2023-08-2250 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap44 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 2 - No Brain

Come along with us as Brian chases Muskies on the fly. The St Croix is one of the original 8 rivers protected by the Wild and Scenic River act. With little or no development, the upper section offers a wild, remote, and unpressured experience for anglers. Brian covers the St Croix from end to end and takes us into the mind of the musky, plus bird dogs and grouse hunting, top fly patterns and leader set-ups, and keeping Musky fly fishing simple. Stick around to the...2023-08-101h 28Living Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap43 - Wizard of Oz Christianity, Part 1 - No HomeDuring some sermon research a while back, Brian came across a message from another pastor that referenced "Wizard of Oz Christianity," which talked about various aspects of the Christian life impacting society around us.
Josh and Brian take that theme and run with it a bit, hoping to challenge the Church of Jesus to be intentional about having a church home, using the brains God gave us, having a heart for the people around us, and taking courage to speak up and act in ways that honor Christ and bring positive impact.2023-07-1847 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap42 - DEscriptive vs PREscriptive ScriptureWhen Scripture tells of something that happened or that someone did, does that mean WE are supposed to do that or have that happen to US?

Sometimes that pushback can be encouraging - when it is done graciously, with the intent of educating you on some point you've missed or hadn't considered. Other times it can be mean-spirited and ugly, just meant to berate. Sometimes it's a mixture of both...
Anyhoo...how do we respond in ways that show grace and Christlikeness? That's...2023-06-2050 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap39 - Should We Care What Others Think of Us?There is a line of thinking that says Christians shouldn't care what others think of us - particularly in terms of our positions on social/political issues. That we should just stick to the truth, because Christians have always been "hated" for what they believe.
However, Scripture very clearly says that a good reputation among those who don't follow Jesus is a must.
So how do we balance the two? Do we have to give up convictions for the sake of getting along? Our belief is no - but that our reputations in the community...2023-06-0653 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap38 - Making a Difference By Working on Shared Concerns"Every city has hungry people." That's a quote (or at least a close paraphrase) of a comment Brian heard during a morning radio broadcast to promote a joint effort between a local Catholic order of nuns, and other religious groups in town to gather food for local food banks. The point was that even with major theological differences, people of different faith backgrounds can come together to meet the immediate need of feeding hungry people.
This is also possible in the political spectrum.

While we believe that we don't have to agree with someone's lifestyle, opinions, etc., in order to love them, we also believe that disagreement does not equal hate (or fear) toward that person or persons.
There is no question that there are Christians who are hateful toward certain people groups and population. That is not the model of Jesus. But how do we show people that the loud minorities of Christians do not represent all, or even most, Christians?2023-05-2320 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap36 - Does Love Always Mean Agreement?

We have the examples of Jesus and the early church, as well as the teachings of the apostles to affirm that. We discuss some tangible ways to be generous, as well as look at Brian's story about how starting to tithe began the turnaround from a life of financial despair to a life of financial peace.2023-03-2846 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap33 - How Do We Handle Scandal in the Church? (Pt 2)We continue our discussion about what happens when a leader falls or is accused of something that causes scandal in the Church. We look at 9 ways a person can help bring healing in the midst of the hurt. Note: this is not a prescription for how church leadership should handle things; this is about how individuals can process and promote healing.2023-03-2140 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap32 - How Do We Handle Scandal in the Church (Pt 1)It's a fact in Church history that many leaders have fallen - they've succumbed to sexual temptations, temptations of power and celebrity, and even abuse in these areas. This is hurtful to the victims of those who have sinned, but also to their loved ones, their ministries, and of course, the cause of Christ overall. In this episode, we begin a discussion about how do we react/respond when a respected leader falls or is accused of something.

But Christians have an obligation to be bearers of TRUTH - not rumor of gossip. Gossip is a sin and has no place in the life of a follower of Jesus.

But is that a proper view of that passage when it comes to our interactions with people we disagree with?

However, many Christians are quick to reverse these - being slow to listen, quick to speak, and quick to become angry, and then to speak out of our anger. This episode looks at some very specific ways to put this passage from James into practice in our interactions.2022-11-1530 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap16 - Jesus is Still Lord on ThursdayIt's easy to call Jesus "Lord" as we worship on Sundays. But what about as the week progresses? What about as we go about the work week? And deal with our teenagers? And in-laws? And as we drive to and from work?
Jesus wants to be the Boss of your life 24/7/365 (and 365 on leap years!). Let's look at some questions we can ask ourselves throughout the week to see if we are living for Jesus beyond the Sunday service.2022-11-0836 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap15 - They Will Know We Are Christians By Our...Jesus said that all people will know people by our _____________. We generally know what goes in the blank, right? But often in today's world, Christians (especially evangelical Christians) are known more by our politics, rhetoric, and culture war involvement.

In this episode we look at 4 facts about the fruit of the Spirit and why it's so important that these attributes are daily present in our lives.2022-10-1842 minLiving Beyond Your Memes: Closing the Credibility Gap13 - Displaying the Attitude of ChristOne of the hardest parts of following Jesus, and maybe especially for Americans, is the notion of putting another person's needs above our own. We're told by our culture to make sure we prioritize ourselves above others. And yet Scripture - and Jesus, Himself - had a very different notion. In this episode we look at the attitude of Jesus as Paul describes it in Philippians 2.

But that seems to fly out the window when we're disagreeing with someone, especially in heated debate on sensitive topics.
How can we practically use Jesus' words to help us be more Christlike in these situations? It may not be as easy as it seems, but it needs to be done intentionally with the goal of reflecting Jesus so this person might want HIM above all else.2022-09-271h 03
