New Circle Church

Making Room for the Easter Bunny

Barry and Jonathan discuss the Builders Meeting, the Discernment Team, Easter, and the ways that we can "make room" for others at New Circle. Jonathan also endures a "triggery" Easter version of overrated/underrated.

The Sword and the Cup

We move into the last day of Jesus' life on earth. On this day, he was betrayed, arrested, and ultimately led to the cross. As we examine John 18:1-11, we will look examine how the Kingdom of God moves forward in the world.

Washing Feet

As we focus on the final Thursday of Jesus' life, we reflect on his washing of the disciples feet. As we examine Jesus' posture and actions, how can we learn about ourselves and follow his example?

Counting the Cost

As we focus on the last Wednesday of Jesus' life, we will focus on activities going on around him in the lives of Mary and Judas. Through the lens of Luke 9:23-25, we examine how they calculate their actions and what the implications are for our lives.

Thinking About Iran

In this episode, Barry and Jonathan discuss some of what they have been reading and watching. The majority of the conversation revolves around the war in Iran and different ways that we can wrestle through how to think about the conflict.

Living for the End

As we focus on the last Tuesday of Jesus' life, we will focus on his teachings about the end of time found in Matthew 24. How are we to think about the end of time? What did Jesus mean by his words? How can they help shape our lives today?

Don't Fear the Friction

Barry and Jonathan celebrate February while lamenting the fact that it is already almost over. They also continue to examine the concept of a "posture of planting" and how that can inform the ministry of New Circle moving forward.

Cleansing the Temple

Musing with Christopher

This week we are joined by Builder, Christoper Suder. We learn more about Christopher's role as a Hospice Chaplain and how his faith informs his vocation. We begin the podcast with a specially tailored Overrated-Underrated segment designed by Christopher to trigger Jonathan. It's a lot of fun!

We Want to See Jesus

We will reflect on a portion of Scripture where some Greek people come to meet Jesus. Their journey to Christ teaches us much about ourselves, others, and Jesus.
