1. Gretchen Ronnevik is the author of Ragged: Spiritual Disciplines for the Spiritually Exhausted and co-host of the podcast, Freely Given.
  2. Who is God? We are continuing through the 1st article of the Apostle's Creed. We discuss what it means that God created us, and sustains us.
  3. Paul reminds us in Eph. 6, that evil is real and present on earth.
  4. Godly, upright in heart, righteous. Sinful, sorrowful, wasting away.
  5. Craig and Troy love Psalm 51 because of the truth it speaks: we are sinful, and God is gracious. When God cleanses, we are indeed made clean.
  6. Even from the moment of the Fall, God has never left us without His gracious promise of redemption. God moves first to cover us.
  7. Satan didn't lie, but he told Adam and Eve exactly what would happen. The only thing he didn't say is whether or not they would like it.
  8. We might think of the poetry of the Psalms as a dance between creation and redemption.
  9. The struggle is real. That is to say, the struggle with sin. Can we make ourselves holy? Can we find within ourselves the strength to make it better?
  10. Craig and Troy launch into a new mini-series on their favorite Scriptures . . . the ones that are the central themes of the faith
  11. Pain and suffering; it can feel like punishment from an angry God, and we try to figure out the cause, to our own frustration.
  12. Waiting on God can seem like slow motion torture sometimes.
