The AdventureLife PodcastEp. 20 | The Adventure of Letting GoWhat if Father asks us to let go of something good so we can experience or grasp hold of something even greater? Would we be willing to let go of what's secure, what's comfortable, and what we know? Do we trust Him enough to let go of those things?
This week Will shares some experiences and thoughts about what that might look like and what it might take in order for us to do that.
Will also shares an announcement that may mean a bonus episode for Season 1. Also, if you have questions or topics th...2021-06-0122 minThe AdventureLife PodcastEp. 14 | The Adventure of Bearing God's ImageWhat does it mean to bear God's image or live in the image of God? This week, Will talks about what that looks like, what it means, as well as the dangers of when we don't and where that can lead.

Is your faith journey characterized by freedom, grace, and love? Or is it burdensome and filled with guilt and shame? This week, Will talks about the adventure of living within the new life we have in Christ - one that is characterized by freedom. Will shares some things that every believer has access to - but we seldom live in those things.

Arnita and Will talk about being a disruptor and living in disruption and the ways we can respond to loneliness, resistance, and the things that disruption can bring.
We talk about God, how He's a God of disruption, how He can bring disruption in our lives and how we can view that negatively or begin to embrace it and view it as something that a loving God calls us into.

This week Will talks about what true community really is, what it's not, and how we are invited into it. Will shares a story from a book he read and re-read a few years back, Bo's Cafe, that began his own journey into rethinking what community is and how it's less something we create and more something that we already have and can begin to experience. Will also talks about how community is a safe space, but probably not the kind...2021-03-0222 minThe AdventureLife PodcastEp. 8 | The Adventure of Marriage as PartnershipThis week, Will talks about how he views marriage as a partnership as opposed to the traditional view that he grew up in where they taught that the wife was supposed to be submissive to the husband.
