In this podcast, Benjamin Kandt and Damein Schitter sit down to talk about Advent. They discuss how Advent is a season of waiting and how, biblically speaking, waiting is expectant hope mixed with inward groaning. Ben and Damein discuss what makes waiting difficult and how our current cultural mood works against our growing in biblical hope. 

Recently I sat down with Jen Pollock Michel the award-winning author of Teach Us to Want and Keeping Place. Jen offers a clear and insightful look into the Christian life in her writing and speaking and it was a joy to talk with her for this podcast. We talk about the connection between longing and belonging in the Christian life, the gift and burden of serving others by providing a place of belonging, biblical examples of belonging, how a church like NewCity can become a more hospitable place of belonging, cultural counterfeits to belonging, and more. We’re providing the entire conversation in two podcasts. This is part 2 of the series.

Due to technical Difficulties, the last half of the sermon was recording at our offices. Thank you, for your understanding.

In this episode I interview Dr. Mike Allen about the Trinity and the Christian life. In Ephesians, Paul prays for us to come to know and experience the beauty of our triune God. We see all three persons mentioned by name in several passages in Ephesians. My hope is that this podcast, in conjunction with our fall sermon series in Ephesians, will increasingly give us eyes to see and ears to hear the unique way our triune God— Father, Son, and Spirit—brings redemption and restoration in the body of Christ and all of creation. More specifically, I hope that you are encouraged to further see how God— Father, Son, and Spirit— is integrally involved in your day to day, moment by moment life.
