A few weeks ago Steve was asked to do a podcast on how to read the Bible and how to discern what the historical teachings of Jesus are. Short of giving a thirty minute lecture, this is Steve's attempt to share how he reads the Bible. Steve shares that the Bible is not holy, but it's a medium that points to what is holy: your relationship with Jesus. Let Steve know if you have topics you'd like him to cover. Thanks for listening.

This sounds like a boring topic. Let's face it, church can be boring. However, Steve does everything in my power to keep church fun, exciting and relevant. Steve explores his thoughts and feelings on going to church. This past Sunday Steve interviewed people about their reasons for coming to church. Then Steve closes with his own riff on the topic.
Who wants to be boring? Not me baby, not me.

When Steve decided to start a podcast he made a list of people he wanted to interview. Judi Buehrer was one of those at the top. Through her journey with cancer she has stayed, in her terms, a "cockeyed optimist." She inspires Steve. Give her interview a listen and surely you'll be inspired by her words of insight and wisdom.

This past weekend Steve helped someone die. It's something he does on a fairly regular basis, so much so that he's come to call himself a Death Coach. After they passed away Steve drove back to his office, sat down and recorded his thoughts and insights for this podcast. It's pretty rough and raw, but it's where he was in the moment. Through death Steve finds his affirmation of life.
