Welcome to 2023! We’re back after a proper sabbatical and this week we’re talking about how we make big life-changing decisions together, we recap our Christmas and New Year and answer a listener’s question about spiritual abuse. Plus we launch the Finding Father Spring School. Lots to dig into… we’re excited to be back!
This episode is a weird one. Not least because AJ has lost her voice, but also because we announce an unplanned sabbatical! On this episode we talk about what we hope to do, how long we're on sabbatical for and a little of the why behind asking for a sabbatical and what that means for the podcast.
Stephen James is the founder and executive director of Sage Hill Counseling and the creator and CEO of The Leadership Lab. But he’s also a generous man, a brilliant thinker, someone who tells the truth and is fiercely curious - even when those things may get him into trouble. Which means he’s a perfect guest for our show. This week we unpack things like hope and grief, stress, addiction, trauma and the human experience of feeling stuck.
David Campbell returns to the show (previous episodes 99 and 210) and drops some of the most practical wisdom you’ll hear this week. David is a leader of leaders and pastor of pastors who has responsibility for nearly 150 churches in the UK. On this episode he shares wisdom on problem solving, identity, truth, spiritual warfare and forgiveness.
It’s funny what you learn over time. Here’s five things we didn’t know about ministry.
Following on from last week’s episode on authority, this week we tackle your questions including:
Where’s the line between challenging and abusive authority?
Where’s the line between disagreement and a rebellious heart?
How do you know if you’re under good authority and just being triggered or under bad authority?
And much, much more. Have a listen and let us know what you think!
This one is a two-parter. This week we talk about why authority is so good and why it’s designed by God to be such. Next week we’ll be answering your questions about why sometimes life doesn’t quite feel like the plan and what to do about it.
COVID-19, vaccinations and whether British people can swim. There’s plenty of opportunity for everyone to find something offensive about this week’s episode. But that’s not our heart - rather we want to make our thinking visible about where we’ve been and the choices we’re making for the future.
Our beloved pastor, Jeff Dollar, joins us this week to talk about his new book, Letting Go of the Need to be Right. We talk about why it’s so hard to say sorry, why we often refuse to let go of being right even when we know we’re wrong and one of the keys to breakthrough.
Danny & Sheri Silk are known around the world for their books Loving Our Kids on Purpose and Keep Your Love On. They are part of the senior leadership team at Bethel Church in Redding, California. This week we sat them down to play the dating game, and seek out their wisdom for new parents, new grandparents, navigating change and what 40 years of history with Bill Johnson has been like.
Authority gets a bad rap, but it’s one of God’s greatest gift to us. This week we invite David Campbell, a leader to leaders, onto the podcast and ask him questions regarding authority plus it’s our 10 year anniversary in the United States of America!
This week our friends Sam & Tink join us to talk about the beauty of serving, pursuing your destiny and just generally drop bits of wisdom here and there. Also, AJ gets her iPhone X and it's birthday celebrations for a little boy.
The brilliance of hindsight is that it allows us to learn from what God has done, to prepare us for what he's doing. In this episode we talk about lessons we've learned when we've stopped to reflect on God's ways.
This week Dann Farrelly, the associate pastor at Bethel Church in Redding, California joins us to talk about a ton of stuff. Topics include Bill Johnson's arrival at Bethel, manifestations of the Holy Spirit, the price you pay for future glory and a whole bunch of wisdom about stepping into your prophetic words despite the crazy journey it may entail.
We've been thinking about leadership a lot the last few weeks. We've either been asked questions about leadership or have been asking leaders about leading. But there were some questions we just never got to, so we talk through them here. Plus, AJ's unique iPhone 7 review.
Inspired by the events of this morning's service at Grace Center, this week we talk about what we love about Grace Center and our leaders Jeff & Becky Dollar. Also - we're hiring! - there are three opportunities to come work with us at Grace Center. Finally, Alyn saw the new Jason Bourne movie and AJ can't remember what she taught this week.
Recorded on Fathers Day, we talk about what it means to be a spiritual Father, what it means to be a spiritual son and how we've still got a long way to discover how to celebrate. Also, new beta software from Apple has Alyn all happy and a Boy Named Ben is back in print!
In response to listeners' feedback that we have longer episodes and that we answer more listeners' questions here's a new longer length episode with an answer to a listener's question! The orphan spirit is the way of thinking that keeps us trapped so tightly that we can't experience God's best for our life. Find out what it is and how it works in this week's episode of Keeping Up With The Joneses.
