Germs and Jesus - Jonathan SalgadoA boy whose parents continually reminded him of washing hands, saying prayers, not getting germs, learning more about Jesus, eventually wondered about the importance of these two things — germs and Jesus — neither of which he could see! We can, though, see both germs and Jesus. The important thing, Jonathan suggests, is getting infected by them. In the story of the lawyer who asks Jesus what he must do to have eternal life, Jesus brought him to a different level that was not just cultural or theological. He wanted the man to be infected by Jesus, to experience his love. A lo...2020-08-0909 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast34. Jesus Saving Everyday - Nish WeisethNish shares with us her story of becoming a mom. Through pregnancy and birth and the dark moments of postnatal depression, she reminds us of that small voice that speaks when we are at the edge, the voice that speaks when the lies are loud. It is the voice that says, “You are not alone. You are rescued. You are seen. You are valued.” And it is the voice of the one who went to find the one lost sheep when the 99 were already safe. That same Jesus who rescues us for eternity rescues us daily. He is a resu...2020-08-0215 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast33. Jesus Bringing Down Walls - Mark BravermanMark, feeling at home in the synagogue where the Simply Jesus Gathering is taking place, reminds us of the meaning of “synagogue”: a place of assembly; and he tells the story of his becoming fully Jewish as he progressively knew more of Jesus, the best Jew. Among other incidents, this happened when he was in the Holy Land, daily walking back and forth across the dividing wall between East and West. A woman living in the heart of the conflict told him that to live with all the walls she followed Jesus, the Palestinian Jew who lived in an occu...2020-07-2610 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast32. Holding the Ropes for Miracles - Dick FothDick loves miracles. And he believes the world is hungry for them. He shares about miracles in his life and draws our attention to the miracle of Jesus first forgiving and then physically healing the paralytic who was lowered through the roof by his friends. Those friends, whose actions were affirmed and whose faith was commended by Jesus, literally held the ropes so their friend would receive a miracle. First responders, like those who saved Dick’s wife’s life, are rope-holders for modern miracles.2020-07-1910 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast31. Jim and Casper Go to Church - Paul YoungGod is a God of all people. And we, as the church are a “group of people who get to express what is already true for everybody.” Paul tells of how his friend Jim “bought” an atheist’s soul online for $500. For every $10, Casper, the atheist, would go one time to the church of the buyer’s choice. Paul then met Casper who told him that after having visited all those churches he was still an unbeliever, and Paul asked him some revealing questions about what he does believe. Surprisingly, perhaps, Casper showed true belief in love, life and truth, and...2020-07-1215 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast30. Bible: Object or Subject? - Len SweetLen Sweet’s children had two different experiences of studying the same bird — one dissected it, the other observed it in its live habitat. One study was objective — objectifying the specimen, the other subjective — considering the specimen as a subject. And this, Sweet challenges, is our challenge when approaching the Bible; to treat it like a subject not an object, avoiding “versitis” and getting to know the stories. Our minds process information through narratives and metaphors, not words, so as we refer only to chapter and verse we turn stories into propositions. Just as the disciples on the road to Emmaus ha...2020-07-0518 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast29. What Does God Look Like? - Floyd McClungFloyd McClung’s young daughter once asked him, “What does God look like?” He doesn’t look like a mean old grandpa, an exacting judge, or Santa Claus. God looks like Jesus—welcoming little children, talking to the Samaritan woman, saving the wedding feast. Floyd tells the story of throwing a birthday party for Jesus in the red light district of Amsterdam, where the party-goers brought gifts for Jesus—poems, songs, cookies. A prostitute came to the party and, without anything else to offer, offered herself as a gift to Jesus. We all have images of God in our heads, and i...2020-06-2812 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast28. A Boy, His Teacher and His Identity - Ted DekkerTed Dekker shares that he has spent his life on a journey to understand his own identity and that of his father. He tells the story of a boy and his teacher walking in the Savana. Happening upon a lion and a hyena, the teacher expounds upon the infinitude of God and the smallness of evil. The boy, understanding, finally, God’s greatness, questions his own value, and the teacher tells of the first and second Adams, judgment introduced into and dispelled from the world, and the boy’s ultimate identity in the image of God.2020-06-2104 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast27. Jesus the Outdoorsman - Leah KostamoLeah reminds us that the setting of the story is important, and that Jesus’ story was largely set in the outdoors—his birth, death, baptism, wilderness experience, his parables’ settings and objects, his time of prayer with his Father. In a story of an intern finding a rare species of fish at the environmental center where Leah lives and works, she wrestles with whether it’s weird or real that God would care for the small details of our lives and the lowliest of all creatures.2020-06-1409 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast26. Rewriting Stories - Bart TarmanThe story of two poets. One man’s beautiful epic saved another man’s life. The saved man went on to rewrite the saving story, distorting, as he did, the first poet’s character of hope, twisting her to despair. The first, deeply troubled by the loss, again rewrote the story. “When people read the rewritten version of the rewritten version of the beautiful story, they’re compelled to rewrite their own stories…And when they do this they create lives of great beauty.”2020-06-0712 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast25. Audacious Waiting - Idelette McVickerIdelette gives a stirring call to keep our lamps filled with the oil of hope, just as the five virgins did in Matthew 25. Alluding to her South African heritage, Idelette takes us on a journey to the prison cell where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years of his “night of waiting” — a small and confined space. In which small and confined places can we stand in audacious waiting with our lamps burning, trusting that the light will break through in the darkness waiting for the Kingdom of Heaven?2020-05-3110 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast24. Touching Jesus - Jawahar GnaniahJawahar Gnaniah shares the stories of Mother Teresa and his own son with muscular dystrophy to illustrate that when we touch those who are in need, we are touching Jesus himself. Danny, Jawahar’s son, who lived with Jesus, touched many people through his life and his death. Are we ready to touch Jesus?2020-05-2408 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast23. The Scandal of the Samaritan - Jonathan MartinIn the parables, Jesus revealed grace through scandal. The parable of the Good Samaritan is much more shocking than we see because of our familiarity and hesitation to modernize parables as it may lead us to the “dangerous” place of being out of control, disordered, and disrupted. This is how it is with all the parables — multi-layered challenges to our desire for order and understanding. They bring “disillusionment that creates space where we need God to reveal truth to us.” Are we willing to be scandalized?2020-05-1715 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast22. The Yes that is a No - Cheryl Bridges JohnsAnother story of two sons, one who said yes and didn’t follow through, the other who said no but then did the father’s will. Ruby Turpin, a fine southern woman in Flannery O’Connor’s story, was a follower of Jesus, and respectable in her own mind. But when she encountered a “white trash” woman who spoke a piercing message to her from Jesus, she had a transforming meeting with the one to whom she had said yes, realizing she had been acting in the no. Cheryl identifies with this character so strongly that she asserts that Jesus someti...2020-05-1012 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast21. Knowing the Messenger - Rick LawrenceRick shares candidly about a dark time in his life when he felt the heavy weight of many troubles. During that period he received weekly encouraging messages in his mailbox — anonymously. Rick confesses that the messages themselves didn’t actually touch him that deeply, but when he found out who the messengers were his heart was pierced through with encouragement. In the same way, we read the message of God in the Bible, not for the message itself, but to get to know the heart of the messenger. Jesus, Rick says, “is far more beautiful than his message,” and he is in...2020-05-0309 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast20. Turning Toward Jesus - Dave SchmelzerDave tells the story of Bill, an angry Jewish guy who is changed by Jesus in Dave’s church plant in Cambridge, MA. Dave suggests that “just” turning people toward Jesus was the key in Bill’s and many others’ conversions. To address the thought that perhaps “just” listening to Jesus’ voice and turning to follow him fails to deal with the reality that sooner or later a Christian has to “grow” — develop a belief system, opinions, church culture, etc. — Dave suggests the philosophical understanding of the second innocence. After the first innocence of beginning to follow Jesus, where every spiritual encounte...2020-04-2610 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast19. Not "Us & Them" - Andy BranerAndy, once himself close-minded toward Muslims due to the paradigm of fear, challenges us to be open-minded as we follow Jesus and encounter Muslims. He shares three insights toward this end: explore people, invite people to explore with us, and give grace in conflict. We needn’t be afraid, Jesus is with us.2020-04-1908 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast18. Jesus: Best Teacher Ever - Conrad GempfConrad Gempf addresses the point of whether Jesus was actually one of the best teachers ever. He wasn’t usually clear and convincing, his answers weren’t really based on good use of facts, and he often completely avoided the stated question. When the Pharisee asked Jesus who is his neighbor, Jesus answered with a story that spoke to the man’s unspoken questions—who do I have to love and who can I get away without loving? The man, expecting to see a Pharisee in the story for a direct answer to his question, realized that Jesus wasn’t necessar...2020-04-1214 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast17. God Speaks Our Language - Paul YoungGod, as a great communicator, knows our love language. He acts in ways that demonstrate his profound respect for our individual ability to hear and understand him. He spoke to Abram when he asked him to sacrifice his son. But, unlike common interpretations of the story, it was not for himself that he asked the sacrifice. God was revealing to Abram, who had only a basic understanding of who God is and who had only known appeasement theology, another part of himself — that he is provider God. He will provide the sacrifice. God steps into our world and the bo...2020-04-0514 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast16. Tigers and Strawberries - Ted DekkerTed reminds us that Jesus told us we would have troubles in this life. And, indeed, we do. Daily. Ted’s story of a woman chased by tigers in the jungle challenges us to maintain perspective and enjoy the sweetness of the present.2020-03-2904 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast15. The Beauty of Humanity - Paul YoungPaul assures us that God has a high view of humanity, as seen in the incarnation and stated in Karl Barth's words: “God will not be God apart from us”. Paul celebrates this humanity, as he remembers those who have been his family and passed on, telling anecdotes of the beauty and brokenness our humanity embraces. Asking the question who is “us” and who is “them”, he draws the circle of God's creative, self-giving love, and we can never be separated from it.2020-03-2209 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast14. How Many Points? - Paul YoungPaul wonders if we really believe the list of things found in Romans that cannot separate us from God. He tells a story of a man going into heaven, listing the reasons he should get in. The insightful twist of a punchline reminds us that we don’t have to play that game.2020-03-1503 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast13. Awakening to My True Identity - Ted DekkerTed, an author whose writing often includes elements of darkness, explores the idea that perhaps a focus on the darkness in the world comes from a fear of God. And while we can’t love what we fear, fear, like other emotions, is largely subconscious. Ted, with very moving stories, challenges us to let go of our fear, even in the dark hours, by letting go of the offenses we feel we have been perpetrated against us. This, he says, is radical forgiveness. And this is possible through a change of our perception of our situation, knowing who we ar...2020-03-0810 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast12. Pure Jesus is Enough - Dick FothDick, seeing Jesus in new, disorienting, magnetizing ways, talks about the simplicity of Jesus. He is like pure water, simple, but vital to our souls. But, when we add things to water it doesn’t necessarily improve it, it dilutes it, even makes it toxic. Dick tells the stories of two women. One, the widow with two mites who became iconic as a generous, committed person even amidst loss. And the other, a woman dear to Dick who survived loss after loss and still lived trusting Jesus was enough. As Corrie Ten Boom said, “You don’t know that Jesus...2020-03-0115 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast11. The Presence of Jesus - Tamrat LayneTamrat, through the story of the Transfiguration, dwells on the importance of the presence of Jesus. Peter, in Jesus’ radiating presence, said, “It is good to be here.” Tamrat, too, has experienced deeply the beauty of being in the presence of Jesus, even—he would say especially—in solitary confinement in prison. He challenges us to remember that this presence is irreplaceable and only through the Holy Spirit will we find such deep dwelling with the Lord.2020-02-2308 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast10. Stories That Transform – Jay PathakJay Pathak shares a story about “going hunting”. Hunting for people, asking questions like “Would you consider yourself a spiritual person?” His apologetics about the problem of pain and humanistic worldviews dismantle the paradigm of a man he talks with. However, the story has an insightful twist as Jay realized that “knowing” God as Mary had not “known” any man when she had Jesus transforms us in a way that apologetics for the mind never can. Jay says that Jesus didn’t give us truths that we can control, but he told stories that put us in tension, representing God in a way that...2020-02-1611 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast9. Hope With Jesus - Lina AbujamraFrom her experience in the emergency room, Lina shares the story of having to give terrible news to the family of a young child. “Is there hope?” the father asked. And that is the question that we all face sometimes in life, like the disciples on their way to Emmaus, as dreams are crushed, loves are lost and hearts are wounded. Lina recognizes that often we want glory without suffering and healing without pain. But, like the Samaritan woman at the well, we find in Jesus someone who does more than just fix our problems. Because new problems will alwa...2020-02-0910 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast8. Saying Yes to the Treasure - Bruxy CaveyIn 1 Peter 4:10 Paul says that we are stewards of God’s grace, and Bruxy would say that God has given some of one person’s grace to another person to allow that second person to administer it to the first. We are all priests and can go to one another for grace, the body of Christ as the Word of God continuing to be flesh. And in that identity, there is no longer any “have to”, it shifts to “want to.” We do all things out of celebration, not to gain salvation. The man who found the treasure in the field li...2020-02-0214 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast7. Standing at the Margins – Greg BoyleGreg Boyle, of Homeboy Industries, reminds us that following Jesus means standing where he stands — at the margins, in the lowly places, making voices heard. And that matters to Jesus, even if others say it is a waste. Greg suggests that we imagine a circle of compassion; then imagine no one standing outside that circle, dismantling any barriers keeping anyone out. Just as God is so taken up in his compassion and love for us that he isn’t concerned with his own exaltation and he doesn’t have time to be disappointed with us. To Jesus, it’s all abou...2020-01-2616 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast6. Finding Love in Brokenness - Lynne HybelsLynne candidly shares her own story of finding Jesus to be the lover of her soul and the compassionate activist for the broken. After decades of striving to please the tyrannical god she had learned about from childhood, her physical and emotional brokenness led her to search out Jesus in a new way, forgetting all she knew of Christianity and just reading Jesus’ words. She identified with Mary, longing to sit in the unconditional love of Jesus, and once she was there her eyes were opened to the brokenness of the world where Jesus goes and calls us to go...2020-01-1916 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast5. Peacemaking - Sami AwadSami Awad shares his family’s story of escaping war and the lessons his mother chose between—hatred or love? Revenge or Jesus? She taught her family to love, to be peacemakers and to seek reconciliation. So what does it mean to be a peacemaker? Going into a conflict to try to help bring reconciliation? Not only that, but Sami suggests it is also a process of personal transformation, as we see in the holistic reading of the beatitudes from Matthew 5; and it is an act of personal engagement—loving our enemies by getting to know them and what lies b...2020-01-1218 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast4. The Power of a Parable - Carl MedearisCarl Medearis recounts a time when he used the story of the Good Father from Luke 15 to respond to a trick question about Israel on live Hezbollah television. “Jesus does funny things with trick questions. He either never answers them, he asks a better question back, or he tells a story that doesn’t make any sense—we call those parables.” The effect of the parable on the TV crew is striking, probably very like that of its effect on Jesus’ Middle Eastern listeners.2020-01-0510 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast3. Gambling on Grace - Brian ZahndThough Jesus never spoke the word “grace”, he embodies grace. And, as he came to fully reveal the Father, we, like the manager in Luke 16, can trust that he is a gracious God. The manager, like the son in the proceeding parable was “prodigal”—wasteful—and was fired because of it. He then preached the landlord’s graciousness to others, gambling everything on the idea that his boss would be gracious. This, Zahnd concludes is the heart of the parable, that “God will be to us as we preach him to the other.”2019-12-2917 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast2. Can We Hear? - Kathy MaskellKathy vividly retells the story of the woman who is healed by touching Jesus’ cloak. She reminds us that we can blunder, sneak, or be brought into the Kingdom, but however we go we yield our lives to His life, and we are called daughters and sons. And as children of God we can go and give food to others who have been dead, as Jairus’ daughter was.2019-12-2209 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast1. The Many of Us - Bart TarmanBart, calling to mind Jesus’ interaction with the demonized man named Legion and the story of the king who wanted a full party, tells of a dream where he was drawn to a light in a dark meadow. A beautiful person welcomed him into the cottage and said he wanted “all of you” to come in. Bart went out time and again, inviting the many aspects of himself to come see the beautiful person. The Worried Bart, the Not-Enough Bart, the Perfectionistic Bart, the Shameful Bart. As they each entered the cottage, they were transformed and healed and made whole...2019-12-1518 minSimply Jesus Gathering PodcastSimply Jesus Gathering Podcast16.
