The Priesthood of Believers

David was recently stirred by a old book he was reading by Watchman Nee’s, ‘Twelve Baskets Full’.  The concept of the priesthood of all believers under the new covenant, provides them the privilege of being devoted to Father in his enormous love, not out of performance, but from union with him. So what does this look like in life?  What prevents us from experiencing this?  We did a series of podcasts on this topic back in 2007

Identity Traps 

Loren rejoins us in this discussion about the ways our freedom outside of religious obligation, can sometimes get trapped when we start to identify with stuff outside of Father’s love. This can cause certain prejudices to form, and prevent us from receiving Father’s perspective on situations in our lives.

Cristina Nole

This is Part 1 of a 2 part conversation we had with Cristina Nole.  She and her husband’s story of their journey outside of the institutional church, and what they have done since then is fascinating.  How we even came to know them is a great story of those divine appointments where Father simply connects people.

Emotional Restoration

Sometimes it seems emotions can have a real grip on our lives.  Our responses to events in the past have often shaped our present outlook on things.  So what happens then, when we begin to live in the assurance of Father’s love?  Is there a chance of our emotions being restored?

The Empty Cupboard

Our discussion centers around some recent conversations we’ve had with other folks that have recently, or are in the process of leaving the traditional church that they had been a part of.  One of the common themes was how the fellowships they were a part of were growing more and more empty of life.

Feeling Exploited?

Loren and Bob discuss the new movie that we at Family Room Media have set out to make.  Loren wrote the script and so we get a chance to hear his thoughts about the story.  Our discussion also pounces on being exploited by the traditional church.  Was it just the fault of leadership, or were there some factors inside us that allowed ourselves to be manipulated by religious leadership?
