  • It’s hard to find the freedom Jesus offers in a culture steeped in religion, especially when the book of James keeps getting thrown around like a spiritual hammer. Too often, James is used to turn faith into a tool for validating our salvation instead of the lens that lets us see it. No wonder anyone who’s caught the message of grace might get twitchy around a book in the New Testament that is all about law. But what if our fear of James comes from years of misrepresentation? Welcome to our new podcast series on James—the book everyone loves to quote but few want to deal with! It’s time to strip away the misconceptions and see that James isn’t questioning our foundation, he’s showing us what it looks like to dance on it! This episode cover James 1:9-11.

  • So you've risked your normalcy in the church world by stepping out to simply be a friend with nothing more than the good news of Jesus and an extra garage beer in hand. We know it can seem like your "glory days" are behind you without a platform or a pat on the back from your former tribe, but man if it ain't the life Jesus lived. Join Russ & Tony as they share about the pains and joys of ministry in obscurity.

  • In this episode of the Larkcast, Russ and Jameson sit down with Mike Jarrell to explore the beauty of spontaneous faith. Mike shares a touching story about a 9-year-old girl who treasures a homemade smoked block of cheese from a neighbor, reminding us that sometimes, the simplest moments reveal to us the Kingdom.

    We often don’t associate faith with spontaneity, but true faith embraces the unexpected connections in life that you can’t plan, rush, or force. The pressure to convert others to our way of thinking can lead to shallow relationships and burnout. Instead, what if we focused on living with, loving, and journeying alongside the people we encounter most often?

    Join us for episode 140 as we delve into Mike’s story and his insights on living a life of grace.

  • Join us for a gripping exploration into the age-old struggle between faith and paranoia. Delve deep into the haunting notion of being labeled 'lukewarm,' a term that has plagued minds with insecurity and anxiety for generations, as referenced in Revelation 3. Uncover the hidden costs of misunderstanding and the liberating freedom that comes from clarity. Tune in to discover the truth and transcend the shackles of fear of missing out and the relentless pursuit of measuring up. This is more than a podcast episode—it's a journey to reclaiming faith and dispelling paranoia.

  • There once was an entire region of churches filled with people who were somehow tricked—by jackasses—into believing that Jesus wasn't enough. Although they had experienced the only real freedom there is in this world, these people (known forever as the Galatians) were bamboozled into believing something other than the death and resurrection of Jesus was required of them to live in fellowship with God. If you've ever wondered what a Bible writer sounds like when he's pissed—this letter is it. The gloves are off, and the Apostle Paul is pulling zero punches. He is flat-out dumbfounded and beyond frustrated that they would fall for it. And just you wait until you hear what he has to say to those who threw his dear friends into such confusion. The LARKCAST marches onward through the book of Galatians! This episode covers Chapter 6:11-18
