144: A Conversation with an Enneagram 1 & 2

Do you consistently see things that could be improved?

Do you need to be needed but struggle to express your own needs?

On this episode, Aaron Lutz talks with Sarah Beth Dikun and Abby Willis about what it’s like to see the world through the lens of an Enneagram 1 and Enneagram 2, respectively.

But more importantly, how can the Enneagram be used as a tool to more faithfully follow Jesus?

Have you ever wondered why your spouse or friend reacts so differently than you to the same event?

140: Why Doesn’t My Kid Believe? — Youth and the Deconstruction of Faith

In our most recent series, Reclaiming [Your] Faith, we’ve been talking about what the Bible has to say about diversity, intellectualism, justice and sexuality.

For some, how they’ve seen those who follow Jesus respond to these issues has caused them to question, deconstruct, and even deconvert from Christianity.

On this episode, Ryan Lehtinen sat down with Kyle Mikulan to discuss what it means for someone to deconstruct their faith and how you can walk with someone who is going through that process.

139: Diversity of Belief in the Church

Even within the Christian faith, there are differing opinions on doctrines like baptism, leadership, and spiritual gifts.

Should we even care about these differences?

In this episode, Rachel Chester talks with Yancey Arrington about the diversity of beliefs within Christianity and how we can faithfully strive for both truth and unity.
