Eavesdroppin'CULTS GALORE: The cult of JACKIE, plus the Candace Silvers acting cultOn Eavesdroppin’ comedy podcast this week, Geordie and Michelle look at the cult of JACKIE (no, not from MAFS Australia 🤣) and ask the question - is Candace Silvers REALLY running an acting cult? Have you ever heard of the cult of JACKIE? If you lived in London during the early 1980s, you might have come across it - but probably not, as it was a teeny tiny underground cult with not a lot of followers - but if you were in it, you were IN IT. An acronym for Jehovah, Allah, Christ, Krishna, Immortal, Easwaran, the cult of...2025-04-021h 01

Some small towns and less about Friday Night Lights and more about AirBnB. But what if it was possible not only to reach weekend warriors looking for recreation and the local population who live in small towns all year long. In this episode listen to discover different ways local churches seeking to revitalize their presence and they do it through play and outdoor adventure.Pamela Morse and her husband, Earle, have served as pastors of Sugarloaf Christian Ministry in...2023-03-271h 01
The SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP8: "WEEEEE the Church"Well, we've made it to the end of another series! This episode marks the end of the SFC: Ask Me Anything series. We really enjoyed reading and fielding your questions...even the challenging ones. Since we've started the podcast, our mission has been to help us all SHINE BRIGHTER and BRIDGE BETTER. That's the goal. Encouraging one another to live into our God-given calling to the shred culture. And so capping off our season with this series felt fitting. It felt fitting because talking through some of the difficult questions/topics that you all are wrestling can help us...2022-06-0640 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP7: "How Does Ministry Look Different For Women?"Ministry looks/feels different for different people. If you’ve spent any time around the Church, then you know that every church has its own unique set of challenges. Shred ministry is no different. Every community and every group has its own set of unique challenges and needs. And what we’ve found, in the short time that God has allowed SFC to minister in these different shred towns, is that God has set specific people - people that are uniquely gifted/positioned - in certain places to help meet those needs. This week, for SFCs: AMA series, we welc...2022-05-3053 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP6 "The Trinity: The Most Important Thing We Hardly Ever Talk About"Did you know the words “The Trinity” are nowhere in Scripture?You can search from Genesis to Revelation, and you will not find a single place where Moses, David, Job, Paul, or any other author says “The Trinity.” But what you will find is that the Trinity is everywhere in Scripture. From the very beginning, God in Genesis 1:26 says, “Let us make man in our image”… Somehow God refers to himself as an US. Plural.This week, for SFC’s AMA Series, we welcomed back Pastor Jim Howard to attempt to answer: How in the world can God be...2022-05-2345 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP5 "Lord Over-Board"This week, the SFC: Ask Me Anything series has been hi-jacked (or in this case, hi-joshed). As two of the last three episodes have been our host Ryan Leeds asking questions to SFC’s International Team Captain Josh Stock, the tables have now been turned.This bizarre movement comprised of skiers-for-Jesus and snowboarders-for-Jesus is…well, it’s UNIQUE to say the least. Our two favorite passions placed together often sound like oil and water to those we meet. A long-held tradition of commitment to the world’s most famous God-man doesn’t naturally combine well with the fad of sli...2022-05-0956 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP4 "Be Curious, Not Judgmental""What does the Bible say about social justice and LGBTQI+?" We’re halfway through our SFC AMA Series, and, true to the series title, we invited you, our community to share questions you had about literally anything related to shred ministry so that we could Shine Brighter and Bridge Better together. We knew, and even hoped that you would ask questions that were challenging, because only by talking through them can we learn how to effectively respond in love to the people and situations in our everyday lives In this week’s episode, Ryan Leeds interviews Jim Howard to answ...2022-05-0258 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP3 "How to change your burnout into turnout?"In this weeks SFC: Ask Me Anything episode, Josh Stock seeks to answer the question: "How do we keep the stoke for ministry alive in dry seasons?" It can be so easy to be motivated to fulfill the mission of SFC when we see God drawing people to himself, moving in miraculous ways, and transforming our communities to look like His kingdom. The fruit propels us, and it continually affirms us that this mission, this effort, is worth it. But what about when we aren't seeing that? What about when we aren't seeing fruit from ou...2022-04-2536 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP2 "How does SFC measure success?"In this week's episode of The SFC Podcast, Ryan interviews Joshua Stock, the self-proclaimed "International Team Captain" of SFC, to answer the question: "How does SFC measure success?" For years, Josh has been traveling the globe to visit Christian skiers and snowboarders to stoke the flame of their call to be the light of Jesus in the shred culture. He has a passion for people coming to know Jesus, the King of Kings, as Lord of their lives.Josh has seen SFC through many phases, including both the early days where success was loosely defined and the later days where s...2022-04-1830 minThe SFC PodcastSFC: Ask Me Anything: EP1 "How do you lead and manage volunteers in shred ministry?"Well, we’re back with another new series! And since the winter season is coming to an end, we figured we’d try something a little different with this one. Many of you have just worked through an entire winter season doing ministry out on the hill, and as you begin to reflect on your season, you probably have things that you’re chewing on and processing. And that’s what this series is all about. In the SFC: Ask Me Anything series, we wanted to hear what you're thinking about/processing. For the past few weeks, our team has been col...2022-04-1143 minThe SFC PodcastBonus Episode 2: Gentle and Lowly: Christ's Heart for Sinners and SufferersWell, it's been a while since our last post, but we haven't forgotten about you! We've been hard at work recording episodes for our next podcast series, SFC: Ask Me Anything. The first episode of the next series will drop Monday, April 11th. So stay tuned! We're only a week out. In the meantime, here's a special bonus episode for you. In this episode, Ryan sits down with Pastor Dane Ortlund, author of the popular book, Gentle and Lowly, to discuss the heart of Jesus for sinner and suffers.

For the next couple of weeks, we'll be dropping a few short devotionals from a couple of different SFCers. In this first bonus episode, SFC's National Director, Randy Schroeder, shares some thoughts on Romans 12:2 - "be transformed by the renewing of your mind."

Man. Time flies when you’re having fun, right!? We hope that this series has been a blessing to you and that you’ve been challenged to think about/approach the disciplines a little bit differently. Remember, the goal isn’t just to add more things to your schedule. The goal is to develop a deeper and more intimate relationship with Christ that results in YOU reflecting the light of Jesus to the world around you.Now…we wanted to conclude this series by highlighting an integra...2022-02-0728 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP8 Confession "The Truth! You CAN handle the truth!"Confession. I’m not going to beat around the bush…this is a tough one. This is a practice that requires a lot of vulnerability. And if we’re being honest, most of us struggle to get to a place of complete vulnerability. You know, where we actually open up and share the deepest and darkest parts of ourselves.But as hard as it may be, confession is an incredibly important part of our spiritual formation journey. We need it. Not only does it kill our sin (because it’s been dragged into the light - it’s been exp...2022-01-3132 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP7 "May you be GUIDED into Fellowship!"What defines a Christian community? What makes it different from any other sort of positive community (outside of the Church)? Now, that’s a great question. I think it’s easy for us to think of our Christian community like any other type of positive community. It’s filled with people who generally like each other and who have similar interests. Maybe they’re even on mission together, pursuing some good cause. But is that all Christian community is, or is there something more?According to what we see in the New Testament, Christian community is marked by two k...2022-01-2429 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP6 "Service Foot Forward"YOU play a special role in the body of Christ (the Church). Did you know that? Or better yet, do you believe that? You have been uniquely designed and gifted by God. But you aren’t meant to keep these gifts to yourself. No. These gifts are meant to be shared. You were given these gifts SO THAT you might go and serve others.Now, this may not be news to you. You may already know that you were given gifts by God for the purpose of serving others. But that doesn’t mean that serving is alwa...2022-01-1733 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP5 "Stay SteadFAST in your FAST"Okay, fasting. Abstaining from food (or maybe from something else we really desire) for the purpose of seeking God. If you've been around the Church for any amount of time, then you've probably heard about the spiritual discipline of fasting. But what does this have to do with skiing and snowboarding? Why on earth are we talking about fasting on a podcast about ski and snowboard ministry. Great question! I would argue that fasting has a lot to do with ski/snowboard ministry...mainly because of what fasting teaches us. Fasting is a practice that teaches us that we...2022-01-1039 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP4 "Take Up & Read!"Reading the Bible. We know it's important. But how do we do it well? That's a great question! In fact, that's a question people have been asking for hundreds of years. How do we take this book - that reveals who God is and contains special revelation to His people - and actually apply it to our lives? In this episode, Ryan and Alie do their best to answer this incredibly important question. If you've ever struggled with your Bible reading - if it's ever felt dry and lifeless - then know that you're in good company. We...2022-01-0333 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP3 "Down to the river to PRAY"Soooo…prayer. Is it just basically talking to God? Does it always have to be asking or can it be telling too? Do you have to say specific words or be in a specific place or posture?People have been studying prayer and trying to wrap their heads around what exactly it is, what the best ways are to do it and why it’s important for, oh, maybe a couple thousand years. I remind myself of that fact so that I can settle down and not get too worked up when I realize I don’t have i...2021-12-2729 minThe SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP2 - A Framework for the Spiritual DisciplinesThe Spiritual Disciplines. Man. That phrase can conjure up a lot of feelings in a person. For some, the spiritual disciplines remind us of sweet and intimate moments with our Creator. Moments of joy. Moments of peace. Moments of rest. And moments of change. For others of us, though, the spiritual disciplines remind us of dry and boring practices that we were forced to do by our parents and/or spiritual leaders. We've struggled with the disciplines. We've struggled to see the point of the disciplines. And we've struggled to see how the disciplines bring about greater j...2021-12-201h 02The SFC PodcastSpiritual Formation: EP1 - Locked Into Different Cycles of FormationWell, we're back with another series! And this time, we're shifting in a new direction. In series 2 of the podcast, we're going to be addressing the topic of Spiritual Formation. And it's going to feature a series of talks that Ryan Leeds and Alie Heenan gave at the SFC Boot Camp (a 5-day teaching conference that took place in New Hampshire a few weeks ago). Now, I can already see the questions pouring in? Why are we talking about Spiritual Formation on a skiing/snowboarding podcast? Great question! Well, Spiritual Formation affects every aspect of our life. As you'll...2021-12-1300 minThe SFC PodcastA Couple of Quick AnnouncementsTune in to hear some announcements regarding series 2 of the SFC podcast!2021-11-2904 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP8 EngagingWe’ve made it. This is the final episode of our first series. Engaging. This is one of the more “fun” values that make up our mission at SFC. We LOVE skiing and snowboarding, and so it only makes sense that we would want to spend time engaging with other skiers and snowboarders. We have similar values, passions, and interests. And we speak the same language. So it just makes sense.But more than that, engaging is how Jesus modeled his ministry. He WENT to the people. And so like Jesus, we want to meet people where they’r...2021-11-2222 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP7 GospelWell, it wouldn’t be a Christian podcast without an episode on the gospel, right? After all, the gospel is the most important thing in our lives. It’s the crux of everything for the believer. It’s the GOOD NEWS. Our sure foundation. The HOPE that we base everything on. But if we’re not careful, we can forget the gospel...and pursue another gospel. A gospel that isn’t good news. A gospel that’s based on worldly things. A gospel, like the Apostle Paul says, that isn't really a gospel at all. And so the gospel - the true gos...2021-11-1539 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP6 DoingIn this episode, Randy Schroeder sits down with G-Money to talk about the art of living out our faith. G-Money is a LEGEND in the ski/snowboard community, starting one of the first snowboard shops in the country. What makes G-Money rad is his humble approach to life and business. He exudes, as thefreepress.ca called it, a “quiet rebellion; [as] a pioneer of snowboarding, decades of stories lay behind his fervid yet humble demeanor.”As a strong believer, G-Money has sought to live his life in a way that exemplifies Christ through kind acts of service (by l...2021-11-0824 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP5 IdentityCan we be honest, even if it stings a little bit? Our culture has an identity crisis, doesn’t it? We don’t know WHO we are. And when we’re asked who we are, all we can think to do is provide a list of all the things we DO. Our identities have become wrapped up in fickle and fleeting actions and behaviors. You’ve seen this, right? Think about it for a moment. How often do skiers and snowboarders describe who they are by: 1) who they know, 2) what tricks they can do, 3) the places they’ve been, and 4) how...2021-11-0136 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP4 RelationshipsIn the words of the famous Michael Scott, Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin: “Relationships!? We don’t need no stinkin’ relationships!”Relationships can be hard, can’t they? They require work. There’s a lot of effort that needs to go into forming, cultivating, and maintaining relationships. So if it’s so much work, then why bother? Great question. Thanks for (maybe) asking. They’re important because we were created to be in relationships: 1) relationship with God, and 2) relationship with others (both in the church and outside of the church).In this episode, Josh and Randy dive into...2021-10-2536 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP3 BelievingIn this episode, Joshua Stock dives into the first of SFC’s six B.R.I.D.G.E values: believing. SFC defines this "believing" value as follows: “Our faith is grounded in biblical truth. We, as the Body of Christ, pursue a lifestyle of prayer and worship.”Now, believing is such a loaded term, isn’t it? So while the definition above is great...what are we actually talking about here? How does a lifestyle of prayer and worship fit into this concept of believing? Isn’t belief just a mental assent thing? Or is it more...2021-10-1835 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP2 MissionIn 2 Corinthians 5, the Apostle Paul tells us that we’ve been given the ministry of reconciliation. We’ve been reconciled to God through Christ, and now WE get to act as reconcilers. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we get to reconcile people back to God. What a crazy privilege and responsibility!?But let’s be honest for a second. What does that actually mean? What does it actually look like to reconcile people back to God? After all, that’s not a word we use all that often. It sounds kind of “churchy,” right? Well, another way...2021-10-1121 minThe SFC PodcastVision, Mission and Values: EP1 VisionIn this inaugural episode of the SFC podcast, Joshua Stock and Randal Schroeder (the International Director and US National Director of SFC) talk about the Vision of Snowboarders & Skiers for Christ, which is “to be the light of Jesus in the ski/snowboard culture.”In his famous Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told his followers that they are the “light of the world” and encouraged them to “let their light shine before others, so that they might see their good works and give glory to their Father who is in Heaven.” This is a pretty familiar teaching of Jesus, bu...2021-10-0419 minThe SFC PodcastWelcome to the SFC podcast!What is SFC?

THE NOMAD THEORY#29 TNT Beat State: Jack Kerouac and the Flow that brought us On the RoadBEAT STATEPracticing his heavily autobiographical “spontaneous prose” style of writing , unproclaimed Father of the Beat Generation, Jack Kerouac, famously wrote the final draft of his cherished novel On the Road within a period of twenty days. He did this while his girlfriend systematically administered him benzedrine, cigarettes, bowls of pea soup and cups of coffee. According to Kerouac, the book (now considered an American classic) was “really a story about two Catholic buddies roaming the country in search of God.” Yet, from a generational perspective, On the Road seems to have been misinterpreted as a tale of...2019-11-1122 min
