Red Couch Theology

What can we hold onto when so much in life can change, disappoint, or disappear? This week on Red Couch Theology, the conversation turns to grace, the gift we don’t earn and the one thing the world can’t take away from us. Together, we explore what it looks like to receive that grace for ourselves and allow it to shape the way we live, love, and extend grace to others.Send in your questions: https://redcouchtheology.com...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week I have Sean Switzer on the show because he preached a message on this famous proverb, as iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another. But today we talk about how easy and how smoothly that phrase rolls off your tongue, but how much more difficult it is to apply. Like, what does it mean? Like how do I, do I pursue being sharpened, a...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we're talking about the complicated and emotionally charged topic of parenting. Train up a child on the way they should go and then when they grow old, they will not depart from it. Today we talk a little bit about the nuances of that statement, what it's saying and what it actually isn't saying, and then we get into some practical advice...

Hey, this week we have Nathan Holmes on the show because he brought the message on Sunday about pride. And we talk about how pride might actually show up in some ways that we don't normally think about.

Obviously, we can think too highly of ourselves, but can we also think too lowly of ourselves? Can self-deprecation actually be a form of pride? And if bot...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we have Dan Elliott on the show because he preached the message and talked about a gentle answer turning away wrath. What does that actually mean, gentle? Do you just talk quieter? And does it actually work all the time? How can we guarantee that we have a gentle answer? He gives us several examples of how Jesus did this, and it's both en...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we got to talk about our new series in Proverbs, which are oftentimes misinterpreted. And so we got to talk a little bit about the series as a whole, as well as our first proverb of the series, Proverbs 35 and 6, talking about trusting in. The Lord, and leaning not on our own understanding, submitting in all our ways to Him, and then he will ...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we have Jessica Rust on the show with us because she brought the message on Sunday. And she was sort of assigned the task to talk about exiting the wilderness from our series, our series called The Space Between. And today we talk on the show about how her plan for the sermon changed multiple times throughout the week and how she landed o...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we are talking a little bit about trust. What is God trying to teach us when he's trying to teach us how to trust him anyway? What is trust? And are there things we can do to grow in our trust for God? These are some of the questions we deal with today, and we also address some things that this series on the wilderness and on waiting hasn...

Hello, hello. Welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week I'm excited because Angela Dunn, one of our connection formation pastors, is hosting, and she's gonna be asking me some questions about last Sunday. Today, we talk about how to find joy in the midst of pain and suffering as the scriptures describe, and yeah, how do you deal with that, and what's God's posture towards us in suffering? Is he ma...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we are talking about lament. I have a guest today. It's Kevin Butcher. He brought the message on Sunday and he invites us to a journey of lament that is so powerful and he makes a case for us needing to learn how to lament. Not only is it important for our thriving, but it is also important for us to experience joy, love, and be truly ali...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week we talked a lot about evangelism and why that word is sort of hard to stomach sometimes in certain church communities, and what is an evangelical, and wait, we also talked about demon possession, and is that a real thing, and like, how does that work? Yeah, all of these kinds of convoluted questions. It's actually a fascinating conversati...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week we have Erin Young joining us on the show because she brought the message this past Sunday and we talk about serving and how sometimes the difficulty of serving is that the person that we're called to serve, which is everyone that is nearby us, that's what Jesus says as a neighbor. Sometimes those people are people that we don't like, or we st...

Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we're talking about listening, and no, it's not completely silent for the entire episode because neither Alex nor I feel like we're experts in this topic, but we also spent some time talking and making a case for the beauty of listening to someone and the transformative power of that. Why it's so detrimental to our souls to fill our worlds wi...
