The Trinitarian, mystical, joy-filled, supernatural good news, the mass exodus from the Christian institutional experiment we call 'church,' what 'mission' looks like for us in the 21st century with a non-toxic gospel, and the supernatural reality of living in union with the Father, Son, and Spirit, in this conversation, Paul and the guys dive into inclusion, evangelism, the creative spirit, the prophetic, the flow of compassion, and the wonder of hope. QUOTES “Religious people talk about hell; spiritual people have been there.” Wm Paul Young “The more we see him, the more we become like Him.” “At its heart, our faith has a mystical and mysterious axis that can only be experienced and encountered, it can't be intellectualized. Even though there's value in intellectual pursuits, it's always secondary.” “What happens when we take inclusion seriously?” “I’m an evangelist at heart. I used to think I was bringing Jesus to people. Now I understand, actually, Jesus is already there…” “If it’s not inexpressible glorious joy, you have a gospel problem.” “The power of heaven is not based on control. The government of heaven is not based on law. And the warfare of heaven is not based on violence.” For more on Paul Golf Website: www.championsofhope.co.uk To learn more about Derek and Jason or to sign up for the mailing list, go to www.afamilystory.org Please rate, review, share, and subscribe!

“Wherever there is a culture of certainty, there is a culture of hypocrisy.” Jared Scholz Faith has its messy seasons of intense digging.

"Exquisitely etched, in a luring cadence, a daughter lost, a family fractured, fractioned, all in the lower case, not shouting at us, but hard to read. I had to stop and regain my composure. What is this terrible beauty? Not a theology but something softer, more delicate, unprotected, exposed. What is this? A moving poem, certainly, but also a prayer, a wounded word, a broken hallelujah, where a random hug, a hand held through the night, a shoulder touched, are the only amelioration, the only God worthy of our time, the only God there may be, the only way to keep the future open." John Caputo In this conversation, the guys discuss Jonathan's new book, indigo: the color of grief. This conversation invites the love of God into our loss, disappointment, and fragile trust.
