Mama and the Rev (SPUMCColumbus)S2E4: Christianity Precedes the Bible (Guest: John Boyd)HOSTS: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
GUEST: John Boyd
For more than 200 years after the resurrection of Jesus, the Church grew exponentially. This was before the Bible, as we know it today, was canonized. The explanation many have given for this growth was the empty tomb. We're not Christian because we have a Bible any more that we are alive because we have a birth certificate.

In This Episode: In his book "Free to Live," John Eldredge wrote, "We cannot begin to truly face our lives in the light of God's goodness until we know we are under His grace ... that all is forgiven." The implications of this are overwhelming. We are not born with a limited amount of God's grace. Just when we think we've exhausted it, we're amazed that God has more to give!

In This Episode: There comes a time when we come to the point in our lives when we ask, “Is this all there is?” Brennan discusses three crises that precipitate us asking this question: Crisis of Hope, Crisis of Faith, and Crisis of Love.
Jesus insists that the Father is crazy with love for us. He didn’t say that it would be nice if the Father loved us. He said the Father does love us.

Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
People prefer the known to the unknown. People tend to fear what they do not know. The many “what if” questions we ask, as Manning describes, cause us to take a second mortgage out on our house of fear. Fear denotes a feeling of punishment. Freedom does not. Fear holds many of us captive; yet, if we deny that we are held captive by fear, we will never be free from it. Freedom in Christ is the freedom that comes from not having to be controlled by the “what if” questions of l...

HOSTS: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
Manning writes, “Counterfeit grace is as commonplace as fake furs, phony antiques, paste jewelry, and sawdust hotdogs. The temptation of the age is to look good without being good.” In our attempt to mask who we are to others, we unknowingly mask who we are to ourselves. This holds us captive.

At the end of his life, Abraham Heschel said, “Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and He gave it to me.” Could it be that the wonder of God is right there in the thick of our daily lives? What are the distractions preventing you from noticing the wonder of God’s grace and mercy?

In This Episode: Manning writes that getting honest with ourselves does not make us unacceptable to God. It does not distance us from God. Rather, it draws us to Him as nothing else can. It opens us anew to God’s flow of grace. When we think we are better than we are, Manning would tell us that our halos are too tight.

HOSTS: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
Joshua tells the people of Israel that they must choose this day whom they will serve (Joshua 24:14-15). As for Joshua and his house, they would choose to serve the Lord. What if this is the challenge that we give ourselves each day? What if each morning we deliberately and intentionally chose to serve the Lord? If we don’t choose, then something else will inevitably choose us.
God continues to pursue us because we are created in His image. This is an example of His grace. Unfortunately, ou...

Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
What are our motives when it comes to living out our faith? We need to learn to think big about God. We need to renew our minds and see ourselves as God sees us. The Ragamuffin Gospel is about Jesus accepting and loving people right where they are.

When Jesus is not on the stage and isn’t in front of a crowd, He is still ministering behind closed doors. What a model of how we are to live! Before Jesus speaks one word in the Upper Room, Jesus has to get His disciples’ attention.

Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
Christ came to save us and there’s nothing we do to earn this grace. God accepts us just as we are and this is the ragamuffin part of all of us. This is the picture of God’s love, yet we lean away from His love feeling a little squeamish towards it. Imagine if for a day you saw yourself the way God truly sees you … as one who is loved. Bask in the acceptance of God’s love for you. Believe that He accepts you not because He has to a...

Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
One of the characteristics of God that is absolutely mind-boggling is that He deliberately chooses to use His broken creation to be instruments of His grace and love where His Kingdom is declared and revealed. In this episode we take a look into the life of David when he wanted to build the Lord a Temple.

2021-03-2638 minMama and the Rev (SPUMCColumbus)Episode 23: God Is Sufficient
Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
We’ve all had something we’ve asked God to take away from us. A difficult circumstance … a regret from the past … an unknown about tomorrow. Paul writes that it’s in these moments we are invited to embrace the sufficient grace of God and rely on the power of God. The message of the Gospel is that we are accepted and loved.

2021-03-1028 minThe Ragamuffin Gospel Discussion (SPUMCColumbus)Episode 1: Deeply Loved & Accepted
HOSTS: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
Join Tommy and John for a discussion of Brennan Manning’s classic book “The Ragamuffin Gospel: Good News for the Bedraggled, Beat-Up, and Burnt Out.” Most believe in God’s grace — in theory. But somehow we can’t seem to apply it in our daily lives. We continue to see God as a small-minded bookkeeper, tallying our failures and successes on a score sheet. God gives us His grace, willingly, no matter what we’ve done. We come to Him as ragamuffins — dirty, bedraggled, and beat-up. And we sit at His feet, He smi...

Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr
In This Episode: We are taught as Easter people that our faith was never meant to be a game of solitaire. It was meant to change the way we live. Initiated by God’s love, our faith is built upon the foundation of the empty tomb. This is the Good News, and it was never meant to be private.

Guest: Laura Marvets
In This Episode: Something is emptying you … something is draining your tank. And whatever that may be, we try to redeem it on our own only to find ourselves grabbing at straws trying to fill ourselves back up. Christian maturation involves the purposeful and deliberate emptying of ourselves while giving God permission to fill us with His Holy Spirit.

The Celebration of Discipline (SPUMCColumbus)Episode 14: Staying the Course (Guest: Shane Green)Hosts: Tommy Bridges and John Fugh, Jr.
Guest: Rev. Dr. Shane Green
In This Episode: The purpose of the disciplines are centered around liberation and freedom from the stifling slavery to self and fear. The Christian maturation process is spiritual growth, and disciplines are a means to that end. We don’t do them to get God to love us. We engage in them because God already loves us. Our faith is more about who we are than what we do.
Disciplines give greater meaning to our lives. The more we engage in...
2021-02-0139 minMama and the Rev (SPUMCColumbus)Episode 20: The Refreshing Presence of God
Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
In This Episode: When we have these amazing moments of faith like Elijah calling down fire from heaven or out running a chariot, it is almost always followed up by a crisis where you end up deflated, depleted, or defeated. Revisit the refreshing presence of God that’s new each morning.
G. K. Chesterton wrote, “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found lacking. It has been found difficult and left untried.”
Scriptures: 1Kings 18-19; Revelation 3:15; Matthew 6:24; Joshua 24:15; Judges 2:10; Joshua 4:6; Luke 2:10; Psalm 91; Lamentations 3:22-23; Hebrews 13:8

Celebration and joy comes when we let God redeem our ordinary life. Quote from C. S. Lewis: “Good things as well as bad, you know, are caught by a kind of infection. If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire; if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them. They are not a sort of prize which God could, if He chose...

Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
In This Episode: As you consider the Kingdom of God from another vantage point, what do you see as God’s motivation for intentionally inviting us to be a part of His family? The Westminster Catechism says that we are created to bring glory to God … and … to enjoy Him forever.
In his benediction to the Corinthian church, Paul writes, “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all” (2 Corinthians 13:14). When we talk about enjoying G...

In This Episode: God’s guidance is not just recognizing the voice of God. It is obeying it, too. Be encouraged to move from hearing God to obeying God. We are spiritual beings created for a relationship with our Creator. Embrace what would be different in your relationship with God if you leaned into this today. See “Hearing God” by Dallas Willard.

In This Episode: Do you have a little God or a big God? If your view of God is little, then worship to you will always fall to the margins of your life. Scripture does not give us the option for worship to be anything but the center. What would be different this week if you practiced the presence of God in your life each moment of each day?

Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr
In This Episode: Mary presented herself to God as an empty vessel. Into this vessel, God poured into her His grace — a grace that we are still experiencing today. God’s grace is not passive. It’s so very active. He’s not a God of just good intentions; rather, He is a God who actively and intentionally pours His grace into us. Almost certainly, Mary had so many questions that were left unanswered about how this message would effect the rest of her life. But, she willingly responds with praise a...

IN THIS EPISODE: At some point in our lives, the cycle of retaliation has to end. The Discipline of Confession is the first step to stopping this vicious cycle. Confession not only makes room for others in our lives, but it also makes room for God. John Wesley said, “Give me a hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God … such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth.”

Hosts: Emily Trotter and John Fugh, Jr.
What would it be like for you to re-evaluate your Christmas perspective? Herod was intimidated by the birth of the Messiah while the religious leaders were indifferent. But the Magi — a group of foreigners — embraced the birth of Jesus. They uprooted their lives, traveled a great distance, and worshiped the new born King of the Jews even though they didn’t fully understand the significance of His birth. Listening to the prompting of the Holy Spirit, they simply took the next step that they knew was right.

In This Episode: The Disciplines are a means to an end. The desired end of the Disciplines is freedom. There is freedom in submission. The desire to always get our own way is bondage. We’re all tempted to do it our own way. We must daily look at the example of Christ who not only submitted to dying on a cross, but he also submitted to a cross-life. When we step outside the boundaries set by God, the is no rest and there is no peace. Whatever God wants...

Until we accept this fact, we wind up exhausted. We live as though the opposite of Matthew 6:33 is true. We incorrectly believe that we must seek everything else thinking the Kingdom of God will be added afterwards. Solitude is not a place. It is something in our hearts. “Talking” is too often used to control others, ourselves, or things. If we’re silent, where’s the...

In This Episode: What’s controlling you? Are you content with being a child of God? Foster defines the Discipline of Simplicity as “an inward reality that results in an outward lifestyle … We deceive ourselves if we believe we can possess the inward reality without its having a profound effect on how we live. To attempt to arrange an outward lifestyle of simplicity without the inward reality leads to deadly legalism.” Our lust for status in things produces within us anxiety and worry. Three inward attitudes that produce in us...

2020-10-1636 minMama and the Rev (SPUMCColumbus)Episode 10: Carlos Whittaker Shares about the Holy Spirit
We talked to CARLOS WHITTAKER!!!
Carlos is a refreshing human being. He not only allows you into his family and life through social media (@loswhit @whittfarm), but he brings you along his very personal journey of faith. The way he writes is like he is sitting across from you and you are hanging on to every word. The vulnerability he speaks with allows you to feel his story. Carlos is unapologetic about his walk with the Lord. The way he describes talking with God, being “conversationally intimate” with the Holy Spirit, makes you think of course I can do that...
