Podcast - DeutschIm Gespräch mit ... Gunter DueckWill man mit jemandem über den Einstieg in das digitale Zeitalter sprechen, so ist Gunter Dueck einer der kundigsten wie unterhaltsamsten Gesprächspartner. Dies hat nicht zuletzt damit zu tun, dass man hier jemandem gegenübersitzt, der im Rahmen eines Weltkonzerns – der IBM - die Rolle eines Distinguished Engineers, eines Chief Technology Officers und schließlich eines Master Inventors innehatte.

Voices from the DesertDiscovering Life in the Wilderness: an interview with Andrew ArndtThis is the last podcast of the year folks and it is a doozy.

Voices from the DesertThe Growing Divide: Is Jesus the Problem? A dream examined...It seems that today we are trying our best to build, cast vision, influence, spread the word, bring the kingdom, and create space for the miraculous in our churches and communities. Sometimes, it seems as if the problem is not us, but Jesus. If Jesus would just get on board with our plan things would go swimmingly. Murray had a dream a few years ago that illustrates the point perfectly. And it all has to do with the inner way.

Voices from the DesertWhat are we being healed of?When it comes to salvation and healing of the soul (see all the previous episodes on the spiritual life), what exactly are we being healed of?

Voices from the DesertThe Inner Way: When Leaders Fall...What is the aim of Christianity and salvation? Is it to get as many people saved as possible? To create a moral perfect society?

Voices from the DesertInner Prayer: the Lord's Prayer and the Sermon on the MountSometimes it seems as if we read the scriptures as a series of commands or instructions, rather than an invitation to follow the way of Jesus and to know him intimately. In this episode, Josh and Murray begin diving into the Lord's prayer and the Sermon on the Mount. Is the Lord's prayer a formula to pray? Is the Sermon on the Mount a great moral teaching?
