Why does it seem that faith and psychology are at odds? Do they have to be, or are there ways of integrating our relationship with God and clinical approaches to mental health?

On Sunday, we rethought the idea of "eternal life." Instead of the Old Testament idea of a messiah who ends the present age and introduces the age to come, Jesus brings his Kingdom into the midst of our messy present time. NOW roundtablers Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind, Mike Erre and special guest Seth Erre unpack the now-and-not-yet overlap between our evil age and the coming Kingdom age. Plus: Suzie tries to save face, Mike loses the "Most Christ-like" competition, Kevin is practically pluperfect and Seth has left the building. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?

On Sunday, Mike Erre broke out his tech drawing tools to illustrate the difference between the Earth that perishes and an eternal life temple space. We're still trying to figure out what the hair on his globe means, but the discussion yielded questions on how people live in one space but still show behavior from the other one. Grant Opperman joins regulars Mike and Kevin Dixon to dig deeper. Plus: Mike previews his upcoming drawings of time and the multiverse , Grant shouts out Mike's brother Brad Erre in the show notes and Kevin just wishes he had gone to Honduras or California this week with the rest of the Journey crew. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?

It turns out there's a difference between allegiance and personal commitment. As we learned this week, understanding the meaning of "pistis," the original Greek word for belief, makes all the difference. Rather than behavioral allegiance, it signifies active, committed loyalty to a person. So, how do we get it wrong when we say we believe in Jesus? The full NOW panel of Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons and Kevin Dixon returns this week to discuss, along with special guest Seth Erre,. Plus: Suzie gets a sponsor, Seth uses two straws, Mike tries on his cranky pants, Tim shows how to hug with your eyes and Kevin picks up what the zoo animals leave behind. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?

This week, the Journey community recounted so many stories of Jesus' invitation extending those his "insider" followers didn't want to accept. Ethiopian eunuchs, Gentiles, unlicensed demon exterminators and more. All of which spurred listeners to ask: Where's the line? Isn't there any limit to who's eligible for the Kingdom? NOW rountablers Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Rob Gonzales consider the logic of drawing boundaries around Christian behavior. Plus: Mike learns the Jeep Wave, Kevin check out the Costco samples in Europe and Rob O'Gonzales embraces his heritage--all while Suzie Lind is away fixing leaks with bee wax. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?

On Sunday, Pastor Rob Gonzalez talked about fear and faith, challenging listeners to name their own fears. The responses we got were overwhelming. This week's roundtable panel—Mike Erre, Suzie Lind, Tim Timmons, Nate Erre and special guest Seth Erre—explores their own experiences and understanding of how healthy faith and fear overlap. Plus: It's SummerTim; Seth lives his best rock 'n' roll life and Mike and Suzie compete at graduation. - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW?
