Advertise on podcast: space for faith with mike goldsworthy

where the space for faith podcast has been the past several months...what will it look like this year...and a few reflections from some of my learnings this past year

Meredith Miller is a pastor and parent who helps grownups, and the kids they love, engage with the Bible and faith in ways that are life-giving, fun, and a fit for their real lives. We talk about why it's a more helpful goal for kids to develop trust with God than obedience, what God-centered storytelling looks like, Moral Therapeutic Deism, and a bunch more. Regardless of whether you have kids or not, I think you'll find our conversation helpful as you navigate what it means to engage your faith in this current moment.    Woven - Meredith's new book Pomona Valley Church (where Meredith and her husband, Curtis pastor) The Instagrams The Substack On the internets Meredith's Podcast for Kids ----------------- PostEvangelicalCollective.org LA Regional Gathering

Scot McKnight is the Julius R. Mantey Chair of New Testament at Northern Seminary. He's the author of numerous books including Jesus Creed, Blue Parakeet, King Jesus Gospel and A Church Called Tov, which he co-authored with his daughter Laura Barringer.  Today we're talking about a new New Testament translation that Scot has completed that will be released on June 6. In our interview, Scot calls it a "crunchy and clunky translation" as a way of describing some of how he approached this work. It's a translation that will cause you to experience some of the New Testament in fresh ways because of the choices he makes.  Check out The Second Testament Find Scot at Scot's Newsletter Substack Twitter  

Andrew Lang joins us on the podcast today. Many of the people who join us here to talk about faith are coming out of experiences from a more conservative tradition. Andrew is a bit different in that he's coming from a more progressive tradition and along the way finds the significance and beauty of the contemplative tradition. We talk about depth and inner work in our lives and the practices of the contemplative tradition that open us up to that work.   Andrew's book - Unmasking the Inner Critic   Find Andrew on the Internets at www.andrewglang.com Instagram

Mike Foster is known as the Mr. Rogers of self-development. He’s a best-selling author, speaker, and executive coach empowering people to build strong lives by turning their setbacks into superpowers.   We spend some time today understanding our primal question, how it helps us to understand ourselves in ways that unlocks places where we’re stuck, gives us a framework for how to relate in relationships and a better understanding of what our best contribution to the world is. Plus, you get to hear Mike diagnose me and give me a bit of a brief coaching session, where I may or may not have cried a little.   Find Mike at   https://www.mikefoster.tv   The Seven Primal Questions   Instagram   You can reach me at [email protected]
