008 - Humble Curiosity and Holy Confrontation: A Conversation with Summer Hoover (Part 2)
1 hour 17 minutes Posted May 5, 2025 at 9:06 pm.
If you missed episode 007, go back and give it a listen. Summer and I pick up this podcast midway through a conversation and episode 007 will help you stay caught up with this conversation.<br /><br />In this episode, we explore what it means to approach hard questions and challenging dynamics with humble curiosity, grace, and boldness. From recognizing our own discomfort to understanding the weight of being a bystander, we reflect on how to live like Christ—not just in gentleness, but also in courage and conviction. What does it look like to flip tables like Jesus did, not in anger, but with intention and righteousness? And how do we make room for obedience in others, even when we disagree?<br /><br />Our guest today is Summer Hoover. Summer is a homeschooling mom of two and has been married to her first love for twenty years. Being a military wife took her on many adventures, teaching her resilience, flexibility, and the importance of building a strong family foundation wherever life leads. Now settled, she pours her heart into raising and educating her children, and creating a home filled with faith and laughter. She’s passionate about truth, discipleship, and taking every idea and putting it up to the light of Scripture.<br /><br />-----<br /><ul><li>Scripture References<ul><li>John 2:13-16</li><li>Luke 5:17-26 and Mark 2:1-12</li></ul></li><li><a href="https://www.saintleo.edu/about/stories/blog/socratic-method-teaching-what-it-its-benefits-and-examples" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Socratic Method</a> - This is not an endorsement of Saint Leo University, we just found their website offered a simple explanation of the Socratic Method.</li><li><a href="https://vimeo.com/365071832" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diane Langberg</a> - "Jesus was not crucified for our systems."
