The Misfit Messengers Podcast

Join our conversation today when four friends on vacation together chat about faith, rest, friendship, and refining fire. 
We highly encourage cultivating friendships, especially with people who can spur us onto to holy living and deepening relationship with God and each other.
What does Holy Rest mean to you? What does that look like?

Another in our series discussion on Who is Jesus? Today we tackle John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God." What does this mean? What are the implications of Jesus as the Word in the beginning? What about incarnation, the idea of God becoming flesh? Listen along as we chat about these deep topics.
What are your thoughts? We welcome dialogue. Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/misfitmessengers/

Who is Jesus? This is an important question we've been tackling the last few episodes. Today we discuss John the Baptist's confession recorded in John's Gospel: "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" This is a radical statement with far reaching implications. What does it mean for Jesus to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world?

In today's episode we welcome back friends Andy and Corey to chat about the question, "Who is Jesus?" which leads to a winding conversation which touches on a variety of topics related to faith. 
Again we ask: Who is Jesus? 

Who is Jesus? Quite possibly this is the most important question we can ever ask. In today's episode we discuss this seemingly simple, yet supremely deep question. Who is Jesus?
What are you thoughts? Who do you say Jesus is? 

Ash Wednesday begins the Christian season of Lent. In today's episode we chat about Lent and some of the practices of the church in this season. As we think about any traditions or rituals, we should always consider why we do them. 
Do you do anything special to celebrate Lent? How do those practices lead you to deeper relationship to God?

We've both received lots of leadership advice over the years. In today's episode we discuss some the better advice we've learned. 
What is the best leadership advice you've been taught? What are some practical leadership skills you would want to pass on to the next generation?

Today we conclude our conversation about the book, "Becoming Nehemiah: Leading with Significance" by David McKenna. Some questions to consider: Is my primary motivation to be a servant or a leader? How would my superiors, peers, and subordinates answer the same question about me? If humility and faithfulness cannot be taught, how can they be learned?

David McKenna's insights on the whole of Nehemiah's leadership growth abound as we discuss how leaders mature. Leadership isn't positional authority or a job title. We can all grow in our skills of leadership whether we hold power and authority or not.

Nehemiah named a successor to take over operations in Jerusalem while he headed back to Persia. It did not go well. What can we learn from this?
