June 23, 2022 Acting Hypo-krino-cal

Recently, we asked people at our Sunday gathering to consider the question: What are we willing to stop being Christian for? What fears or causes are so important to you that you would resort to pressure, manipulation, shaming and judgement? Mike Erre and Suzie Lind join host Kevin Dixon to discuss how judgmental behavior—the negative meaning of the Greek word "krino" in the Sermon On The Mount—can reveal our own struggles.  Got comments or questions? Text us at (615) 861-9503 or email journey@journeytn.com and join the conversation. This season’s conversations are inspired by the book, "Upside Down Kingdom," by Donald Kraybill, as well as the discussions at our current Sunday gatherings. If you're curious to learn more, join us online or live in Brentwood, Tenn. each week at 9am and 11am.

June 16, 2022: Without Judgement

In recent Sunday gatherings, we have been exploring the ideas of good and bad krino, the word that the Bible uses both for healthy discrimination and judgement. If we are to avoid judging others, how do we correct and disciple fellow Jesus followers? And, what does the krino concept mean for evangelism? Mike Erre and Suzie Lind join host Kevin Dixon to compare their experiences and share thoughts.  Got comments or questions?

May 19, 2022 This Heart of "Mine"

In Sunday’s message, Mike Erre introduced to the idea of “mine-ing.” It's the corrupting energy that it takes to cling to possessions—strength we no longer can use to follow Jesus. Mike and Journey’s Student Pastor, Rob Gonzalez, join host Kevin Dixon to examine this difficult teaching from the Sermon on The Mount and to examine their own relationships with money, things and generosity. Got comments or questions? Text us at (615) 861-9503 or email journey@journeytn.com and join the conversation.

How does it redefine our image of a good parent--and our prayers--when we pray to God as “our father?” Betsy Raney, Tim Timmons and Mike Erre join host Kevin Dixon to examine what we can learn from Jesus’ model prayer from the Sermon On The Mount.
