If we’re talking about trains, Jesus, and murder, then we must be talking about the life and work of Johnny Cash. This week, Steve and the gang hang out with Richard Beck to discuss the complicated and inspiring legacy of The Man In Black. Richard’s book is called ‘Trains, Jesus, and Murder: The Gospel According to Johnny Cash’.
Grace is great, BUT where do you draw the line? It’s a common question that deserves a biblical answer. Steve has that answer—and it may surprise you.
In a moment of real honesty he said, “After all I’ve done wrong, I wonder if God really wants anything to do with me.”
When the Gospel ceases to astonish, it has lost its life and power.
I have noticed that those who would like to pray but can’t have something like cosmic claustrophobia.
Often, if I dig deep enough, the most legalistic and condemning people I know are the greatest sinners. And sometimes their sins are exactly the ones they condemn in others. I wonder. Is this pure hypocrisy or something else?
What do you do on Steve Brown, Etc. when there’s no guest? A whole lotta fun. Join Steve and the gang for deep talks about race and the Church. What we know, what we don’t know, and how grace should guide our journey.
Every year brings a fresh crop of self-help books. Every generation sees its own set of motivational speakers and prosperity preachers. Every culture develops its own visions of utopia. And still the problem never goes away. We only discover new ways to commit the same old sins.
How do you speak truth to power when you yourself don’t have any power or prestige or leverage? How do you speak truth when the truth makes people mad? Check out this important sermon from Steve from Acts 5:12-42 about how to communicate God’s message in a post modern world.
