Journey NOW

The JourneyNOW roundtable team, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind welcome a special guest, Nate Erre, for this week's discussion. As they continue their close reading of John 3:16, the words "so loved" from Sunday's message prompted lots of questions about the difficulties of loving. In particular, what does it mean to love your enemies? What does it require of us? Plus: We talk favorite movies and celebrity obsessions, and you'll never guess who crushes on Brad Pitt....  - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW or want to share your own celebrity crush?

We began our study of one of the Bible's most famous passages, John 3:16, with a look at the words "For God." With the full roundtable panel back in studio, Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons examine some great questions from our listeners. If Jesus really is the perfect and complete imprint of God, how do we square Him with the God of the Old Testament? And, what does it mean when Jesus says "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the father except through me." (John 14:6) Plus: Tim says "Chello;" Hilary Timmons catches Holy COVID; and Shekinah glory gets into everyone's clothes, their hair, the furniture and all over the studio.  - - Got your own question or a comment for JourneyNOW or want to share your family secret for laundering Shekinah stains?

With Mike Erre and Tim Timmons giving them the silent treatment this week, remaining NOW roundtable panelists Kevin Dixon and Suzie Lind dig deeper into the honor / shame culture behind Suzie's recent message from John 21. After Jesus's crucifixion left his disciples behind, confused and ashamed, how did their breakfast with them on the beach redefine acceptance, honesty, guilt and reconciliation? What does that look like for us?  - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna tell us about your own feelings of shame? Join the discussion by texting us at (615) 861-9503.

This week's JourneyNOW roundtable panel of Kevin Dixon, Mike Erre and Suzie Lind explore listener questions about how literally we should think about the afterlife and the Bible. What exactly does it mean to have a glorified body? Since Jesus bore the scars of his crucifixion in his resurrected body, will we have our own scars in heaven? And, what's the difference between the Bible being inerrant and being true? Plus: Mike discovers that those eggs are a lie, Suzie offers advice from Cheech Marin and Kevin is just Miss Congeniality.  - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna share your experiences driving four-cylinder V8s?

In the week after Nashville's Covenant School shooting, psychologist Dave Verhaagen and pastors Sam Barnhart and Kevin Dixon discuss trauma. What is trauma, and how do we deal with serious traumatic events?

Last Sunday, our community looked to Jesus' models of grief and anger as we responded to the Covenant School shooting tragedy earlier in the week. This week's NOW roundtable group—Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and special guest Seth Erre—try to balance those feelings with Journey's core value of welcoming hospitality. How do we talk honestly about issues that have been so politicized without offending? Plus: Mike takes his Easters prep to Prime Video. - - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna wrestle your neighbor? (Nacho says "it's in the Bible not to.")?

What am I supposed to do with my life? How do I face job insecurity or illness or loss? Healthy emotions and behaviors get a lot harder when big questions arise. Fortunately, both faith and psychology give us tools to deal with life's uncertainty. Plus: Hosts Kevin Dixon, Dave Verhaagen, and Sam Barnhart have a quirk-off. - - - Do you have a hard question for Journey On My Mind to address on a future episode or your own quirk to share?

We got a lot of questions about the religious leaders that Jesus condemns in ⁠Mark 12⁠. Were all of them bad? Wasn't Jesus being a little judgmental? And who do we identify with in these stories? This week's roundtable crewmembers, Mike Erre, Tim Timmons, and Kevin Dixon, wrestle with ⁠Sunday's difficult teaching⁠ and what it all means in their own struggles. Plus: Kevin discovers new music from a band called Maccabean Revolution; Mike admires the fresh-raked the Alabama forests; Tim shares notes from the book of Job; and Suzie stays silent as she just may be eyeing a new job. - - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna share your all-time favorite band name with us?

When you learn to accept pain—whether physical, mental or emotional—you take away some of its power. Dave Verhaagen explains this surprising practice of “radical acceptance” to co-hosts Kevin Dixon and Sam Barnhart.

The disciples still don't get it despite Jesus' repeated explanation of the Kingdom of God throughout the book of Mark. Last Sunday, we heard John and James arguing over which of them would receive the greatest place of honor next to the Messiah. That sparked numerous questions on leadership, rights, privileges and more. Mike Erre, Kevin Dixon, Suzie Lind and Tim Timmons sit down at the JourneyNOW table to explore these topics and more. Plus: Tim gets sauced in private; Mike has no patience for Suzie's salads; and Kevin tacos go south. - - - Got your own question for JourneyNOW or wanna share your secret sauce with us?
