The StandFast CastReading the Bible “in all directions” + Colossians 2In lesson 2 of the Colossians study, George talks about the importance of studying the Scripture. Chalmers had been a pastor for eight years before he discovered the riches of diving deep into the Word. Then, upon doing so, he determined to make the Bible the Vode Mecham (“Book of Reference”) for all of life.

The StandFast CastA doable plan to study the Scriptures + Colossians 1This January and February, Dr. Grant took 4 weeks to teach the Keystones at his church, Parish Presbyterian, during the “Sunday school” hour. Rather than just talking about the Keystones, however, he chose to lead them through the 4 chapters of Colossians to illustrate how to “do” the Keystones. Join us for this intro talk to the series.

The StandFast CastReformation (George & Karen)Reformation is a concept woven into the whole fabric of Gospel living. It was not merely a singular event in Church history, instead it is the Biblical pattern of discipleship, growth, and maturity. On this episode of the StandfastCast George and Karen look back and look ahead as they weigh the importance of semper reformanda: the Church reformed and ever reforming.

The StandFast CastKaren discusses the Keystones (George & Karen)While George has been working through the Keystones for several years, Karen has only begun to use the method since Standfast published the journals earlier this year.

The StandFast CastGeorge & Karen Talk Books (and What They’re Reading)A lot of people ask, “What are you reading?” And, you know the adage, “Readers are leaders and leaders are readers.” In this talk, George tag teams with Karen and the two discuss what they’re reading, what’s on their “wish list,” and more.

The StandFast CastGeorge & Karen Talk Book StoresIn this special two-part series, George ditches the usual crew of guys and switches (read: upgrade) to Karen, who comes back on the Standfast-cast and talks about books… and finding great books on the shelves of actual book stores. Amazon and the online retailers are convenient. And we’re thankful we have access to so many resources. But, nothing beats walking the aisles of actual shelves, interacting with shopkeepers who adore hardbacks, and flipping through the pages before you buy.

The StandFast CastWhy We Need the Electoral CollegeIn this stand-alone talk, George talks about the electoral college— and why we need it. Daniel Noor, a friend who is helping edit an updated edition of George’s book about the voting process in America joins this one, bringing his unique perspective as well. In the end, George reminds us that we don’t merely want a civics lesson (even though democracy matters). Rather, we want to live ALL of live under the kingship of Jesus— including how we govern our collective society. Listen in. This one is timely and relevant, particularly as we enter an...2020-02-1322 minThe StandFast CastHow to Find Good Books (Habits of Holiness #4 of 4)In the final talk about righteous ruts we discuss the value of finding good books— and allowing others to inform our perspective. Rather than simply reading what’s popular, though, George gives us some tips on how to find the really good stuff… The stuff that has stood the test of time… The books that have informed history and politics and literature and worldview… And, he gives us a quick tip on how to engage those “hard books.” (Yes, let’s admit it: some of the best stuff is more difficult to read. But, it’s in the...2020-02-0619 minThe StandFast CastHow & Why to Journal (Habits of Holiness #3 of 4)In this episode we begin with a ramble… about how and why George keeps the routine he does, and where he meets with the Lord. Here’s one thing you’ll learn: it’s easier than you think. That is, we often make it too complex. Here’s another: when you write things down (i.e., with pen and paper— not typing!), your mind connects in a greater way to to what you’re doing. That is, writing helps us become fully present, in the moment. Umberto Eco said it best, “I don’t write so I’ll ca...2020-01-3022 minThe StandFast CastHow to Read Your Bible (Habits of Holiness #2 of 4)In Mark 1 we learn that Jesus “showed up” every single day. The disciples observed that early in the morning, every morning, He moved away to pray. In this episode we continue last week’s conversation. We talk about, like Jesus did, showing up. But then we go farther… What do you actually do when you “get there,” when you carve that sacred space to commune with the Father…? Here, we talk about the importance of mining the truths of Scripture: * Read through an app * Or find a downloadable “through the Bibl...2020-01-2321 minThe StandFast CastRighteous Ruts (Habits of Holiness #1 of 4)As we launch into the new year, we talk about one of the trends that always happens anytime we flip the number in the calendar… Namely, people begin showing up at the gym. What can we learn from them? Well, first, showing up is important. But, second, if you show up without a plan, you’re probably not going to continue showing up for too long. Enter this discussion about “ruts,” about finding a plan and getting into a groove. Face it, most of the time we think of...2020-01-1620 minThe StandFast CastSF 44- Experience (George & Karen)George and Karen look back at one of their favorite projected from two decades ago. They share what lessons they’ve learned in the intervening years--and how they might approach those books if they were to write them today. 2019-10-3122 min
The StandFast CastSF 43- Travel (George & Karen)Two decades ago George and Karen wrote a series of worldview books. One of them was a book about books and another was a book about travel. With the perspective of distant hindsight, they revisit those books and the lessons they still have to teach us.2019-10-2419 minThe StandFast CastSF 41- The Long Way Still Gets You There (George’s Story, part 5)The One who can create mountains and stars and fish and birds and everything else with a word- or even heal the sick by saying so- can certainly “snap His fingers” and adjust reality… But He often doesn’t. Exodus 13:17-18… tells us that when the Children of Israel left Egypt, God INTENTIONALLY took them- here’s the quote- “the long way.” He reasoned that if they went the “short way,” straight through the Philistines country (think: David vs. Goliath), they would have shuddered. They hadn’t seen war, so they would have returned to slavery. So, He...2019-10-1023 minThe StandFast CastSF 40- Grace Redeems All Things (George’s Story, part 4)Ephesians 2:8-10 tells us that grace not only saves us but that it also orchestrates as series of incredible opportunities for us to walk towards, sacred spaces where the Lord promises to use us for our good and His glory. In this talk we talk through some of the strangest moments in George’s ministry, those times when seemingly random happenstance encounters with others proved to be those precise moments when grace penned the script, when the Author and Finisher of the story brought new characters into the story that only He could bring. This le...2019-10-0325 minThe StandFast CastSF 39- False Starts, Failures, but Forging Ahead (George’s Story, part 3)As we began recording talk three about his story, George told us that sitting and recalling the events of his life was good. “It’s helped me see all of these Ebenezers in my life,” he said, “those markers where you can look back and see that the Lord really HAS brought you to where you are…” In this chapter of his story we move into some twists and turns… We talk about big dreams that sometimes came up, well, somewhat differently than what was expected. Yet, though all of it, the Lord conti...2019-09-2623 minThe StandFast CastSF 38- College, Double-Reading, and the Call (George’s Story, part 2)George was determined he was going to be a swimming coach, and that he was definitely NOT called to be a pastor. In this talk we go back to his early swimming days (the day we recorded this podcast, he woke up at 4am in order to swim 6,000 yards). Then we discuss the early days at the University of Houston, his introduction to Campus Crusade, and how he met Karen… George and Karen got married, went to seminary, and George worked three jobs to support his new family. On the weekends he cleaned floors, during th...2019-09-1923 minThe StandFast CastSF 37- Conversion (George’s Story, part 1)Revelation 12 tells us that we overcome the enemy by two things: the blood of Jesus and the word of our testimony (12:10). So, we decided to pull back the curtain for a few weeks and talk to George about his story. Turns out, George grew up in a highly moral home- one where right was always taught over wrong. But, it was spiritually void. Despite that, though, George tells us that he felt the same sense that George Whitfield often likened to a “peculiar stirring.” In this talk George talks with us about his early days at t...2019-09-1220 minThe StandFast CastSF 42- Erasing Yourself by Replacing Yourself (George’s Story, part 6)Every church, organization, and ministry is temporary. Our lives are, like James says, just a vapor. Then we’re gone. One of the greatest legacies we can leave is a wake of people who replace us, who can carry the baton we were handed. In this episode we discuss how George views his church, the leader coming behind him, and the importance of discipleship. _________________ Links for this episode Download the Keystones PDF free at www.GeorgeGrant.net/keystones 2019-08-2820 minThe StandFast CastSF 33- George & Karen talk about reading2019-08-1531 minThe StandFast CastSF 32- George talks to Cam Clausing, part 2Cam Clausing has spent three years studying the theological method of Herman Bavinck. The fruit of those labors is a doctoral dissertation--but while he was writing that tome he was simultaneously working on a new translation of “Sacrifice of Praise,” a wonderful little book from which every Christian would derive great benefit. George and Cam discuss why.2019-08-0118 minThe StandFast CastSF 31- George talks to Cam Clausing, part 1For the past three years Cam Clausing has been working on his PhD at the University of Edinburgh.

In this conversation with George, Cam reveals the important lessons Bavinck has for us all today.2019-07-2523 minThe StandFast CastSF 29- Thomas Chalmers & how to forge a living faithIn this episode, George reintroduces us to one of his heroes in the faith, Thomas Chalmers. And, he talks about a new project on the horizon- the Keystones project.
Here’s the background… Thomas Chalmers (March 17, 1780 – May 31, 1847) was born during a season in Scotland in which the church was largely lifeless and dry. Iain Murray is the preeminent Christian historian and biographer of the last generation and the founder of Banner of Truth.

Karen reminds us of the power of Psalm 23 and George picks up themes from Psalm 46 and 55. In a sense, they assert, the Psalms can be a “toolbox” for faith. George reminds us of several insights about navigating grief from Jonathan Edwards: don’t feed your sorrows; don’t heed your sorrows; and don’t waste your sorrows.2019-06-0623 minThe StandFast CastSF 23- How to have morning devotionsOn this episode, George and Karen Grant discuss the patterns habits they’ve developed for morning devotions.

A coffee table book filled with stories, Scripture, illustrations, photographs, and inspirations, the book navigates all the ways the Lord provides comfort to us and for us in times of distress and dismay.
