Faithwalking EnglishKeep Calm - Will We Stand with Jesus?Check out the latest episode of our Keep Calm podcast! In this episode, Ken Shuman unpacks the story of Jesus turning over the tables in the gospels, beginning by asking the question, "Was Jesus reacting out of anxiety or was Jesus acting based on his best thinking?" Ken postulates that the latter is true. Jesus was not thoughtless but thoughtful. He was courageous and intentionally chose conflict, as a demonstration of what he believed.Ken lays out three ways Jesus clearly defined himself in this story, establishing what he was against and what he was for.

Faithwalking EnglishKeep Calm: Loving Our Enemies - Speaking BlessingIn this episode, Ken Shuman continues his teaching on loving our enemies from Matthew 23, and specifically on what it means to speak blessing over those who curse us.

He does not address their theological or political beliefs, just the behaviors that can lead people away...

Faithwalking EnglishKeep Calm: What - and Who - Is Evil?In this episode, Ken Shuman speaks of how easy it is to throw diverse groups of people into one category, which results in polarization. You hear people in the US say or imply that "ALL conservatives are evil" or "ALL liberals are evil," and so forth. Lumping people together and labeling them comes too easily in our world. It is far too easy to get sucked into the anxiety out there and to take many things personally. Instead, Ken invites us - as we grow in emotional maturity - to quit labeling people and allow them to define themselves.

And how can we increase our capacity to let others be exactly who they are and to be exactly who we are ourselves?This...
