Journey NOW
Journey Church
Join staff and friends of Journey Church for this weekly podcast where we explore pressing questions about faith, history, truth, and what it means to be a Jesus follower. Every Thursday, you’ll hear stories, interviews, guidance on spiritual practices, (and some irreverent humor) as we awaken, align, and live out our true identities in Christ.

March 3, 2022 Season 5 Premiere: Inverted
Journey NOW debuts its fifth season with a companion series to our study of the Upside Down Kingdom in current gatherings and in Kevin Dixon's 11:00am class. Understanding Jesus' radically reversed reality is hard. It's even harder applying those principles to every part of our lives. In this premier episode, Mike Erre, Suzie Lind and host Kevin Dixon examine the three right-side-up worldly power structures that Jesus rejected.

January 20, 2022 (Not So) Ordinary Prayer
Fresh off a songwriting retreat, Worship Pastor Tim Timmons is rethinking prayer with the NOW roundtable team. So often, our worship and prayer becomes rote. What should the Church really be praying about together in this time? How would that change our hearts, our community and the world?

December 23, 2021 The Cost
On Sunday, we explored Mary’s cost for saying ‘yes’ to God. Journey’s roundtable discussion panel brings that calculation to their own lives: Is God truly safe when saying ‘yes’ to Him can wreak chaos? What does it mean to say ‘no’ to God? Can we truly thwart His plans for us or others? And, how do our plans and will relate to God’s plans, anyway?

December 16, 2021 All In The Family
What can we learn from Matthew’s lineage of Jesus, which Pastor Mike Erre explored at last Sunday’s gathering? The Journey NOW panelists look more closely at Jesus’ family tree in the light of an ancient patriarchal culture. Those surprising stories of sin, redemption and surprising honor help us re-imagine our own stories of adoption into that family.

December 9, 2021 Living In The "I Don't Know"
So often in life’s painful moments, we feel at a loss for understanding. On Sunday, we explored three possible explanations for unanswered prayer, the most satisfying of which is: “We don’t know.”
The JourneyNOW roundtable panel continues that discussion, asking how and why we pray when God holds the outcome of our lives.

December 2, 2021 The Weak Argument
In a world where strength is valued, scripture tells us that God does his best work through human weakness. The JourneyNOW roundtable panel takes a closer look at how weakness lives in all of us and what it means to embrace that reality.
