Vox Podcast With Mike Erre

Happy Monday! Bonnie and Tim had the pleasure of sitting down with Skye Jethani from the Holy Post Podcast, a frequent guest and part of the VOX Community. They have a fascinating conversation on "A Theology of Vocation." What does the Bible say about your work? What does it mean to be "called" to something? Does every job need to be under the umbrella of church and ministry? How do we know what we're called to? What about dreams and desires? All of this is covered and more! Thanks for listening!

On this episode we sit down with Jenny Smith, Lead Pastor at Marysville United Methodist Church in Marysville, Washington to discuss her experience as a woman leader in the Church. Jenny reminds us that the pressures we often discuss in Evangelical circles are universal. Through her journey she has learned a new contemplative approach to ministry and her walk of faith, and introduces us all to the transformative practice.

Gombis is back! He joins Tim and Bonnie to discuss what engaging in politics looks like as a Christian leaning into Kingdom Dynamics.

Happy New Year to YOU! We thought we'd start of 2020 with a soft, non-controversial topic in which we have very apathetic opinions of: What it means to be a "Biblical" Woman. So much in those quotations, right? ;) You can watch us hash this out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTmLQcaTt-k&feature=youtu.be Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - apple.co/1Lla1Nj Support the VOX Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/voxpodcast Follow us on Instagram: @voxpodcast Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/voxpodcast Follow Mike on Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikeerre Music in this episode by Timothy John Stafford www.timothyjohnstafford.com Instagram & Twitter: @GoneTimothy

A new mini episode is out! So many different questions, so little time...but we try! We talk Trump, the band Skillet, the deconstruction of the Church, and a suggestion that maybe some people want to have a few tiers on Patreon to be named after Taylor Swift. Also, Mike is still wearing all black.

A new mini episode is up in which we read an email from al listener who suggests that Erre is headed into a "liberal theology" in the next few years. He sights a few things, one being the liberal cohosts on the show. Find out what Erre says and how this type of comment is heard differently by the woman at the table. Also: Bonnie's hair and earrings and boots are ON POINT in this video.

So many of you are launching micro communities with us around the world (yes, the world!!) and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ve been getting lots of emails regarding different cities where you all are starting them, as well as a request for more information about what a micro community is. Tim takes the lead (and the crowd goes willlldddd!!!…) on what his experience of a micro community has been, how it’s different from church, how it is formatted and their genius childcare plan. If you think you’d like to start a micro community in your area, or want more information on the one in your city, please email hello@voxpodcast.com Learn more about the VOX Podcast: www.voxpodcast.com Subscribe on iTunes - apple.co/1Lla1Nj Support the VOX Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/voxpodcast Follow us on Instagram: @voxpodcast Like us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/voxpodcast Follow Mike on Twitter: www.twitter.com/mikeerre Music in this episode by Timothy John Stafford www.timothyjohnstafford.com Instagram &

A couple of weeks ago we interviewed Alan Frow (Episode 219), a pastor from Orange County, CA who is also a Complementarian. It was great to interview someone with an opposing viewpoint, but also who upheld kindness and a respectful demeanor towards women, unlike recent examples of some well known Complementarians (Episode 218). In this episode, we dive into a few emails we got in response to Frow including a question regarding planting a church with someone who holds an opposing view: Is it possible to do church ministry together while fully honoring both parties? Take a listen to see what we say, as well as our answers to a few other questions on the Women in Leadership subject.

We are back with a few mini episodes this week as we dive into our mailbag. First up is a great question in which a listener wants to know why God didn’t leave us detailed instructions on how to live, what to believe how to follow him, etc. Mike, Bonnie and Tim answer this question by exploring the role of the Bible and the Holy Spirit, how community fits into the mix of things, and the necessary pursuit of God’s wonder. Mike also recommends a book about this topic by Dallas Willard called “Knowing Christ Today: Why We Can Trust Spiritual Knowledge”.

The VOX team headed out to Southern California last month to participate in an event with HeatedConvo about Women in Ministry. Mike and Bonnie both come from a church background which upheld a Complementarian viewpoint in regards to Women in leadership in the church. Through study, experience, and prayer both Mike and Bonnie now are Egalitarian. In this live discussion, you will hear each of their personal stories of how they changed their minds, along with great questions from audience members. You don’t want to miss this!

We are so excited about this week's episode with John Mark Comer in which we discuss his new book about eliminating hurry in our lives. He talks spiritual disciplines, enneagram, and more! Then, yours truly does an outro in which Bonnie discusses Quantum Mechanics and we toss around a different name for "deconstruction". Thank you for listening, we can't wait to hear your thoughts!

A few weeks ago we discussed the John Macarthur/Beth Moore fiasco and urged that not all Complementarians behave in a way that is disrespectful and mean spirited. To this end, we interviewed Alan Frow who is a Complemetarian and is kind, respectful and a wonderful pastor to boot! We also add out thoughts in the outro! Hope you enjoy it!

Last week at Q Commons, Mike wrote and delivered an Epistle for the Spiritually Homeless. It was powerful and poignant and so we wanted to share it with you today on the podcast!

It's all over the internet: the time where John Macarthur told Beth Moore to go home and that there was no place for women to preach. WE HAVE SOME THOUGHTS. Let us say from the outset: You can leave. If you are treated in a way that slanders you, places you on the margins and treats you as less than, you can leave. There are places for you in which you will be loved, cherished, accepted and even given a voice. I know, women that it doesn't always feel like that, but Im here on the other side of the storm to tell you that it's possible. And men: your voice here matters more than you think. Your apologies matter. Your reversal of this toxic chain of events that happens when people in platforms treat women like this is what will turn this thing around. Women, in Jesus, in Church, in the Kingdom....at the pulpit: You are already home.

BONUS EPISODE! We're digging deep, back into the VOX vaults. This week, we're sharing a sermon Mike gave a few years ago about identity. It's a great conversation on how which identity we claim and lean into.
