Give us Ears to Hear - Jeremiah's Vow

Give Us Ears To Hear Ep. 4 – Toxic Relationships

In this conversation we are talking about the cultural phrase “toxic relationships.” It’s something that we hear used and something maybe you have used – but have we thought about what it actually applies to and what it doesn’t? If you’d like to continue the conversation, leave a comment or send a message. I would love to hear from you!

My hope is not to condemn people in how they’ve used the phrase. But to simply reorient ourselves to how we can take seriously the unhealthy things in our life while at the same time looking to live like Jesus. Check out the video:

Give Us Ears To Hear Ep. 3 – Jeremiah 29:11

In this conversation we are talking about Jeremiah 29:11, and how we must listen & learn to what God has to say thru a Scripture that may have lost some of its power as its been popularly applied. If you’d like to continue the conversation, leave a comment or send a message. I would love to hear from you!

My hope is not to “rain on anyone’s parade” in how they’ve used the verse or the verse has been shared with them. But to simply reorient ourselves to what God was saying to His people thru it at that time, and then what He could be saying to us. Check out the video:

Give us ears to hear Ep. 2 – Racial Reconciliation

In this conversation we are talking about racial reconciliation, and how we must listen & learn when it comes to issues of differences. If you’d like to continue the conversation, leave a comment or send a message. I would love to hear from you!

You will hear about a few of my thoughts on racial reconciliation, as well as how to base the entire conversation in relationships. In my years of working toward multiethnic ministries and working again racial injustice (specifically within church contexts) I have seen that the greatest key to successfully navigating this conversation is listening and empathy. May we grow in those areas as we seek the good of our communities and our world. Check out the video:

Give us ears to hear – An introduction

This will be a video series about listening – both listening to God and others – and learning to think reflectively – both about Scripture and culture. This is meant to be an on-going virtual conversation, so please interact with each video whether it’s through comments or direct messages. Others will likely join me along the way in the videos to have conversations with me, and the goal is really that we might have ears to hear what God is saying to us in our lives and in our world today.

Here is the introduction video:
