The Unbroken Ground
What does it mean to be a follower of Jesus? The Unbroken Ground Podcast explores ways to follow Jesus. Sometimes answers are presented and sometimes the episode ends with more questions than answers. Just like following Jesus, producing this podcast is a journey - one I hope you will join and invite others to participate in.

Season2: Ep.14 -Happy Death Day!
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
Sunday Apr 07, 2024
As promised from last week's podcast, this is about the day between Jesus' death and resurrection. How did the disciples feel? How did they cope? What do we do when we are faced with loss and death? What if God has built a physical and spiritual changing of seasons into the world? Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall but for your everyday life. What should you do when you find yourself experiencing or needing to let go of things in your winter season? Happy death day, friends!

Season 2: Ep. 13 - Why Did Jesus have to die?
Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Happy Easter! This one delves a little bit more into the theology side of things. But if you don't know why Jesus' death and resurrection were important (other than being told that at church), this may answer some of your questions. I hope it answers more than it creates anyway!

Is it time to clean all the cobwebs out of your heart? I talk through using the Lord's prayer as a guide for spring cleaning. I also blogged about it on Patheos.com.

Season 2: Ep. 10 - What if the Answer is No?
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
Sunday Mar 10, 2024
What do you do when you pray, and God answers and says no? What do you do if it seems like there is nothing but silence? Prayer is an invitation on so many levels. Do you trust God enough to invite Him into your mess? This podcast is the intersection of finishing Forgotten God (last week), Praying like Monks and Living like Fools (see link below), and learning about the importance of trust in the corporate world.

Season 2: Ep.9 - Find Your Why
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Sunday Mar 03, 2024
Do you know why you do what you do? What is the foundation of your life? Are you building on solid ground or sinking sand?
Mark 10:17-22
English Standard Version
The Rich Young Man
17 And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

Season 2: Ep. 8 - Some
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
Sunday Feb 25, 2024
If you are a follower of Jesus then you are called. Some are called to be pastors (vocational ministry) and others are not. Regardless, you have been given gifts, talents, experiences, and provisions to do ministry. But don't get it twisted, doing for God is not the same as having a relationship with God.
Ephesians 4:11-16New Revised Standard Version,11 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ.

Luke 15:11-32.
If God loves unconditionally, what does that mean for you? Jesus loved Judas and the people who would eventually nail Him to the cross. Do we tell people about that type of love? Do we need to ensure people know that God's love will call for change? Do we demand people change so that we can love them?

Season 2: Ep. 6 -The Outside Doesn't Count
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
Sunday Feb 11, 2024
When the world touches Jesus, Jesus redeems the world. When we ask Jesus to be Lord, He changes our hearts. Our righteousness is found in His life and sacrifice. But what about the law - is there righteousness to be found in following Levitical law?
