Tomorrow Never Knows
Turn on our pod, relax and float downstream. Suzie Lind, Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre are talking about prophets—and the harm caused by false prophets. Is prophecy about more than the future?

I Wanna Miss You All Over. And Over Again.
It’s Exile week at NOW as we begin our study of Jeremiah. And, come to think of it, we’re also missing some people on the podcast. Those left behind—Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon and Mike Erre—are asking what it means to live as an exile in a foreign land.What did that mean for the Israelites, and how can we apply their experience in our own lives. Also: Mike is disappointed with his eternal body. Suzie Lind is gone, but we got a text from the other side. And, Tim’s leaving out T-shirts for the neighbors on Rapture Day.TIMESTAMPS00:50 Who’s recording? Is Edwin missing?06:39 There’s no video.

A Conspiracy of Love
Is it true or just a rumor? Journey NOW editor Grant Opperman joins Tim Timmons, Suzie Lind Mike Erre to explain why the podcast went suspiciously missing last week. Together, they also unpack the differences between how Jesus called people to repentance through love versus how the pharisees did it (hint: not through love). But first, get your tinfoil hat, get away from any electromagnetic energy and wash off those chemtrails: JourneyNOW is revealing the hidden truth in "conspiracies."TIMESTAMPS00:42 Alright, Edwin, punch it.01:15 Conspiracy theories are true.05:52 Our phones are listening to us.06:43 Dead birds are real.08:03 Supplements are real.

Rage Against The Machine
We're learning about Jesus' orgé anger, a settled opposition that contrasts with the thumos "flying off the handle" emotion we so often feel. Layla Shahmohammedi joins Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre, and Tim Timmons to explore what orgé passion and action looks like in the context of current divisive topics like immigration and abortion.TIMESTAMPS1:00 Angry, old men shake their fists at the HOA, the weather, lawns.4:30 Welcome to the Journey NOW podcast.10:00 Content begins.

The Kind of People That Podcasts Come Out Of
This week, we’re talking about covenantal prayer, aligning with God and seeing ourselves as gift recipients rather than entitled people. But, before Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Tim Timmons and Suzie Lind explore covenants, they gotta break a few rules.

Free To Bleep You And Me
What are the limits of personal freedom in a community of Christ followers? Should we voluntarily restrict ourselves when there's a chance our behavior might offend others? And, how do we even know what's offensive when we all have different ideas of what's right and wrong? Sunday question-asker (also regular worship leader and Journey staffer) Layla Shahmohammedi joins NOW regulars Tim Timmons, Kevin Dixon, and Suzie Lind to discuss how we reap what we bleep.BLEEPING TIMESTAMPS00:00 Bleeping Intro04:03 Know your bleeping role05:40 Grandpa bleep11:30 Went there.
