Still Growing In Grace

Unlearning (deconstruction) can be painful and beautiful at the same time.  Sometimes the voices of those unlearning reveal more about themselves than what they are unlearning.  There is HOPE!!  Michael Hardin joins Richard Murray and myself as we discuss the ups and downs of ‘deconstruction/unlearning’ and offer a more hope-filled perspective that will encourage anyone who hears this important conversation.  Enjoy!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/b50mzOiiRDI    Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace   contacting Michael Hardin: https://www.youtube.com/@MichaelHardinPreachingPeace     ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going:   Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW     For more topic

Have you ever had a sense that something is true but you are not sure?  Something you can verify or prove, but ‘somehow’ deep down you know there is ‘something true’ about what has just been said or something you’ve read??  Some use the word ‘intuition’ to describe this ‘thing’.  Enjoy this discussion with Richard Murray and I as we explore what it could mean and how to embrace it!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/uumXc4_7WP4   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going: Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW     For more topics & content, tune in here:   Michael Zenker’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker Weekly Blog:

Have you ever ‘really’ thought through this idea of Jesus paying our debt??  He paid for our sin??  What does that actually mean??  I grew up being taught that Jesus paid off his father so his father would not be so angry anymore.

It is a rare thing to meet someone and find an ‘instant kinship’ with them.  Something inside tells you ‘these guys are folks I REALLY want to get to know better’.  Derek Turner and Jason Clark are like that, really really amazing guys I am looking forward to get to know better.  Today’s program is actually THEIR program that they aired recently.  I had the honour of being a guest on their podcast and just had to share the conversation with you all because I think you will simply ‘be encouraged’.  Enjoy https://www.facebook.com/groups/godandtacos   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/BepgtvpeSG4   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going: Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?ho

We are told we must ‘love one another’ but what if we disagree with choices people make, or hurtful things are done intentionally?  We can make a huge list of ‘exceptions’ on why we don’t necessarily need to ‘love’ a certain person, lifestyle, political leanings, behaviours, etc.   This conversation digs into what kind of a ‘mindset’ will help us authentically love one another.  Enjoy   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/pbaxZaF3Ucw   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going: Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW     For more topics & content, tune in here:   Michael Zenker’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker Weekly Blo

Have you ever really thought about ‘what is the Gospel’?  What does that word mean anyway?  What about the ‘real’ gospel, or the ‘full’ gospel?  A number of years ago, I watched a number of illustrations called ‘The Gospel In Chairs’ and thought I would try sharing it myself.  I also included the “The Trinity In Chairs”.  Enjoy these two visual presentations!!   Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/RxkdlhQ87Sw   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace    ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going: Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW     For more topics & content, tune in here:   Michael Zenker’s Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/MichaelZenker Weekly Blog: https://mikezenker.blog

Your Perspective May Say More About What You Believe About God Than You think.  The story of their death has been preached about from many perspectives over the past 2000 years.  If you grew up like I did, being taught that ‘God killed them’, you may really enjoy this discussion then.  The interpretation of this story never sat well with me, as it didn’t seem to align with how Jesus treated those who may have sinned.  Enjoy this discussion.    Watch Today’s Episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/2OCReZcJOqo   Or listen to the audio podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/still-growing-in-grace     ***Love what you are hearing?  Donate today and help keep this going: Hope Fellowship:   https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=2eJVtw6uhJYRc2ugtnksaAZp5O9nXKspZHqHMO9OAXrUDpuVpW9VH43ONH_BQNTbJNnHPZCqibiZZAWk   Growing In Grace Canada:  https://square.link/u/QcTAIu0c https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=XHQ9UTBPTKDPW     For more topics & content, tune in here:   Michael Zenker’s Youtube Ch
