Red Couch Theology

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, everyone, this week, we're talking a little bit about prayer, and I think Alex, in his message on Sunday and in this episode, he actually says some of the things that many of us have wondered silently. He says it out loud. What's up with those prayers that don't get answered? Or the suffering that we feel and we cry out to God and it seems like he'...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. On this week's episode, we have a guest on the show, Jessica Rust, who actually brought the message on Sunday, and we're talking about scripture. This tiny little topic with so much complexity, so much confusion, and we all, we know we should read it. We all know we should engage it, and yet it's a lot harder than it sounds, isn't it? Well, we're gonna ...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week, I'm joined by Jessica Rust, one of our connection formation pastors, and she is gonna kind of guide the conversation because I was the one who actually brought the message on Sunday, and we're talking about community, and it gets super complicated. We're supposed to mean community; we can't thrive without it. And yet, community is someti...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week on the show, we're talking about grief and sorrow and lament before you turn off the episode. There's some beauty in this conversation, not because it's just lighthearted, but because God gives us some unique promises to stare these realities in the face well, to be with us in the midst of it, and we somehow have this ability as human beings to hold ...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, let me be honest, we get a little melancholy. We talk about the tensions of growing older and finding meaning and purpose in life, and how so much of life feels fleeting. You, you rise the ranks to the next step in life and it just feels empty, and then you rise and you get this new aspect of life and it feels empty. And what's up with that? ...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we dive into a topic that haunts the human condition, maybe more than almost anything else does. It works its way into systems, into relationships, and undoes them. It shatters our experience of the world around us. It prevents us from living lives that are full and beautiful and good. It's constantly lurking around every corner and threatens your h...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we're diving into the new series and talking about what shame does to the systems and structures in our lives. Shame is kind of like a virus. Affects everything in our world, our lives, our friends' lives, our businesses, and on and on. And I think Alex gives us some really interesting insight into how to combat that in this episode. Let's di...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we have no beating around the bush. We dive right into the deep end of theology. We started talking about theology before the show even started. We talk about the resurrection, resurrected bodies. What's up with people who rise again when Jesus dies and walk around the city. all these kinds of questions we talked about. I don't know what else...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we covered a lot of ground because it's the last week of our Revelation series. And so we talked about Babylon, which Alice preached on, and how many cities and many nations sort of can embody this Babylon spirit. But we also summarized the book of Revelation and gave some tips and tricks on engaging this book for yourself in the future. Yeah, let's...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this is the best podcast we've ever recorded. I don't know if that's true actually at all, but I really enjoyed it, and I recommend you take a listen. We talk a little bit about Sabbath and how this spiritual practice might be one of the most foundational spiritual practices. It precedes almost all of them, maybe even all of them. So Alex is gonna make hi...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we have a guest on our show. He's becoming a regular. Sean Switzer brought the message this last week and he talked about hospitality, and I think he shared with us, if you were listening last week,, to the sermon, that hospitality is a little bit bigger than you might expect. It has this unique power to care for and nurture your soul and shape it i...

Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we're continuing through our series, The Way of Jesus, and talking about solitude and silence. And we're, we're gonna make the best case we can possibly make that you should carve. Out some space amid the chaos of life, we get that it's not easy. You should make space for something like this because, in our generation, there might be no other spirit...
