Can You Explain This
sarahtalbert
Real life stories of people who have had tangible experiences with God. These stories are for people who have been told God is angry, mean and out to get them. It‘s also for the skeptics who are open to the possibility that there is a personal God out there that actually cares for humankind. The stories are meant to create more questions, open possibilities and be a safe space to begin conversations. This is not a place where we claim to know it all, but a place where we have experienced something greater.

Restoring Relationships in Papua New Guinea
Restoring Relationships in Papua New Guinea: When someone decides that Jesus is worth risking it all for, things change. That's what Dave Wall and his family did as missionaries in Papua New Guinea for 20 years.  Dave tells God-sized stories about him  -Navigating being a white man in another man's land,  -Bringing his own baby into the jungle, and  -Restoring a relationship with these people and Jesus.  The story is fascinating and probably not what you thought being a missionary actually looked like. *ALSO Dave as a trilogy of books coming out that are a must read.

The Greatest Christmas Gift
What was the greatest gift someone ever gave you? Now imagine this... what is the greatest gift someone could ever give you? Is it something money could buy?  Is it a healed relationship? Is it peace with a situation? Is it forgiveness to heal? What is that greatest gift? I imagine that if we think hard enough that those greatest gifts usually don't come in the form of financial gifts.  I imagine what your soul is looking for, came in the form of a baby.  Take a listen to today's podcast to see what God's greatest gift to mankind was.

Science, Scripture and Skeptic
If you love science and you feel like no one has the answers about God that quite line up in your mind, this episode is for you. After Jason spent years studying human life, taking classes in anthropology, biology and evolutionary science, he never got answers from his teachers. At least answers that were satisfying. He began to wonder about things from a tiny beetle, to the human brain to astronomy. How could that have evolved one step at a time? Whether or not it did, just set that aside. Now Jason says he knows with all my heart that this life is designed by a Creator, who was God. Come take a listen.   Also don't forget to follow us over on Instagram. Jason had so many questions and still does, we want to be a place where it's safe to ask your questions.
