Maybe God

Eliza and Ted were living a comfortable, country club lifestyle in the U.S. when they felt God calling them to uproot their lives and move their young family to the war-torn Middle East. What started as an 18 month experiment became a 20 plus year journey raising their Christian family in an unpredictable region and learning how to share the Gospel in Muslim-majority communities. In this episode, Eliza and Ted share how faithful God has been as they've chosen to surrender. They also offer a unique perspective on the fighting in Gaza, just 40 miles from their current home.

Having suffered childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a family member, 13-year-old Vesper Stamper was hungry for a sense of control. An answer was seemingly found in wicca, transcendental meditation, and other occult practices; but after her first experience of astral projection, Vesper became plagued by a dark spiritual oppression that only conversion and exorcism could lift. Decades later, the celebrated author and illustrator reflects upon the suffering that led to her experimentation, as well as the pain that has persisted years into her Christian walk. For the very first time, Vesper publicly discusses her recent health diagnosis, the despair she's battled in the wake of the October 7th attacks, and the surprising companion she's found in Christ.

CJ Kirk has been doing martial arts for 30 years and is a 4th-degree black belt in Krav Maga. But it's not his physical prowess that makes CJ such a great man – it's his heart. If you're a long-time Maybe God listener, you've been hearing about CJ since 2019 when we first featured the powerful story of Meredith Kirk, the young woman he adopted when she was in her early 20s. Today, we're hearing what compelled him to pursue a father-daughter relationship with a grown woman who insisted that she wasn't looking for a father and how that same persistence drives his mentorship of men on the hunt for purpose and hope.

Family Teams Coach Jeremy Pryor discusses the Western world's fixation on freedom, fatherly disengagement from family life, the trend of population decline, and the solutions embedded in the biblical model of family. He explores the importance of redefining the role of fathers as coaches in the family and highlights the need for a shift from the nest model to the team model of family. The podcast also delves into the consequences of an anti-family narrative, the challenge of transitioning families to a team on a mission model, and the role of freedom and higher values in society.

According to anti-death penalty activist and author Shane Claiborne, American Christians have long been beholden to a hyper-punitive model of justice that favors the wealthy, white, and well-connected. But as he details in this episode, many within the church are awakening to a radically new vision of justice that opposes the death penalty not in spite of the Christian faith, but because of it. Central to this vision is the crucifixion of Christ – a bloody sacrifice that many consider to be the execution to end all executions.
