THE GOOD & NOBLE HEART podcasts

Calling Series – ‘MYSTERY’ — guest Gary Barkalow joins Jim. Confusion is a normal part of the journey. How do we walk with God so that we don’t conclude: “God isn’t speaking to me,” or “I must be blowing it.”?

Striving vs. Action

thegoodandnobleheart — Mon, 22 Mar 2010 17:32:11 +0000

Striving vs. Action: Topic: “Striving vs. Action.” When things aren’t moving fast enough for us, how do we relate to God when we’re feeling the pressure to make things happen? This was a fun interview. Thanks to Matthew Gillogly and Bob Regnerus, hosts of the Renegade Christian Entrepreneurs podcast for having me as their guest today.

Pseudo comfort as a substitute for meaningful aliveness.

A better way to relate to God-part2

thegoodandnobleheart — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:56:51 +0000

Many of us have been taught to relate to God with wrong assumptions

A better way to relate to God-part1

thegoodandnobleheart — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 14:56:22 +0000

Assumptions will either kill or bring life. Like medical doctors, church leaders operate under certain assumptions about people’s central disease, as well as the presumed cure they need. What if we’ve got that course of treatment wrong? (If we were really getting the cure/treatment right, our churches would be filled with healed and whole individuals — not perfectly, but substantially. And that’s not what we see.)

There’s even more to grace

thegoodandnobleheart — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 13:31:48 +0000

More than pardon for our mess. Grace restores.

Rescuing the heart

thegoodandnobleheart — Sat, 26 Sep 2009 22:39:39 +0000

Jim reads excerpts from his book, Recover Your Good Heart. Is the Church really giving people the cure we claim to have? Or, are we busy managing externals?
