Red Couch Theology
We know there’s only so much we can cover in a Sunday morning gathering at South Fellowship, so we invite you to dive deeper with us through our podcast, Red Couch Theology – Sermon Conversations with Alex and Aaron. Recorded live every Thursday at 11am, Pastors Alex, Aaron, and occasional guests engage in casual, insightful conversations that unpack and explore the ideas from the previous Sunday’s teaching.

Is there a limit to grace? And if there’s always more grace, what keeps grace from becoming permission to do whatever we want? Alex and Aaron are joined by Nathan Holmes to continue the conversation around Ephesians 2:1–10, exploring “grace period, not grace plus,” the things we’re tempted to add to the gospel, and the moments when grace became more than an idea in their own lives.
What does it look like to move from knowing about God to truly experiencing him? This week, Alex and Aaron explore Paul's prayer in Ephesians 1 and the relationship between our minds, emotions, worship, and prayer.

What can we hold onto when so much in life can change, disappoint, or disappear? This week on Red Couch Theology, the conversation turns to grace, the gift we don’t earn and the one thing the world can’t take away from us.

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week I have Sean Switzer on the show because he preached a message on this famous proverb, as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. But today we talk about how easy and how smoothly that phrase rolls off your tongue, but how much more difficult it is to apply. Like, what does it mean?

Hey, this week we have Nathan Holmes on the show because he brought the message on Sunday about pride. And we talk about how pride might actually show up in some ways that we don't normally think about.

DISGRACELAND is an award-winning music and true crime podcast about musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Jerry Lee Lewis's 5th wife? Dead. Sid and Nancy? Both dead. Why? Because musicians are insane, and insane things happen to them. Why did we lose Amy Winehouse at 27? Was Debbie Harry really abducted by Ted Bundy as she claims? Is Patti Smith not just the "Godmother of Punk", but also the "Original True Crime Girl"? What really happened the night of the Jay Z nightclub stabbing? What do the Diddy indictments truly reveal? All these stories and more, on artists from every genre and their true crimes, in our massive 260-plus story archive. The Dead, the Stones, Johnny, Willie, Frank, Kurt, Courtney, Gaga, Lana, Taylor, and too many to name. DISGRACELAND is music history come to life through audio storytelling as you've never heard it before, with revealing facts: yes, assassins are the real reason the Beatles quit touring—reclaimed myths: no, Mama Cass didn't die from choking on a ham sandwich––and constant reckoning between art and artist––all told through the lens of true crime. This is the podcast for the self-proclaimed "Disgos", the musically obsessed and the true crime heads; the outsiders, the independent thinkers who know that the best history is the history that gets buried. DISGRACELAND is where host Jake Brennan tells the stories they didn't want told. The kind you'll end up telling someone else. Get ready to uncover hidden truths and buckle up for truly edge-of-your-seat storytelling. New, fully scripted, sound-designed episodes are released every Tuesday. Bonus chat-style episodes where Jake responds to voicemails, texts, and emails from Disgos hit on Thursdays, and "Rewind" episodes from our archive drop on Sundays. DISGRACELAND is not a journalistic podcast. It's an entertainment podcast inspired by true events. Certain dialogue and scenes are dramatized, as is common in scripted entertainment based on real stories. Sources and credits for each episode are available at www.disgracelandpod.com.
