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.

February 24, 2021 In God's Economy
Can it be coincidence that America’s Declaration of Independence was created in the same year as the capitalist bible, Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations? How did American Christianity lead to our worship of the almighty dollar? And, as Jesus followers can we love our neighbors while pursuing our self interest? We look at the ideas in the new book, “Religion And the Rise of Capitalism” and examine whether the Good News can coexist with a “greed is good” economy. Got comments or questions?

February 17, 2021 You Can't Say That
Nowhere in the Bible does it say 'Thou shalt not swear,' although God does command followers not to misuse his name. So, why has Christianity legalistically tied itself to subbing in guldarnnit, fudge and the like for the exclamations that the rest of pop culture uses? Join Suzie Lind, Rob Gonzalez, Sam Barnhart and Kevin Dixon and host Grant Opperman as they take a danged serious look at swearing in America--and how we, as Christians, should feel about the whole $%!# situation.
