18 Apr 2014 | 002: Work.Life.Play [Podcast] | 00:49:52 | |
Dan Allender makes this bold suggestion regarding peer friendship in this decade: Find like-hearted kings living in the same direction. Sign treaties. When one kingdom is at war, both are at war. The post 002: Work.Life.Play [Podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil. | |||
19 May 2014 | 003: Your Question or Your Strength? [Podcast] | 01:01:41 | |
To every relationship, to every circumstance, at every given moment, we are either bringing our question or our strength. Our search for validation and identity as men is the root of all that we do and all that we become. This was at the center of a great conversation I had with Allen Arnold, Director of Content...

12 Jun 2014 | 004: Hello, Trouble [Podcast] | 00:41:24 | |
C.S. Lewis was right when he summed up the dilemma of modern masculinity: "We castrate the gelding and bid him be fruitful." It's painful. And it's true. Become Good Soil is committed to helping men find an alternative path—a narrow road—that doesn't "remove the organ and demand the function."

An old, wise man, Jeremiah, suggested this: Go stand at the crossroads and look around. Ask for directions to the old road, The tried-and-true road. Then take it. Discover the right route for your souls. (Jeremiah 6) The post 005: (Video/Audio) Risking Love – An Interview with Bart Hansen [Podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil. | |||
16 Sep 2014 | 006: Diving Deep – An Interview with Craig McConnell [Podcast] | 00:59:29 | |
Nearly a decade ago, I had the privilege of seeking wisdom from Craig McConnell, a man who's seen many miles, fought many wars, and conquered death more times than I can recount. It was an even greater privilege to circle back with him on another conversation, this time recorded for the benefit of other men like you...

13 Oct 2014 | 007: Responding to Divine Affection—A Conversation with Adam Paulson [Podcast] | 00:27:45 | |
A few thoughts on discipleship from Divine Conspiracy by Dallas Willard to begin: Who teaches you? Whose disciple are you? Honestly. One thing is sure: you are somebody’s disciple. You are learning how to live from somebody else. There are no exceptions to this rule, for human beings are just the kind of creatures who have to learn and keep learning from others how to live...

26 Jan 2015 | 009: Nearing the End of My Beginning [podcast] | 00:55:25 | |
For centuries, Celtic Christians have identified a "thin place" as a location where the veil between heaven and earth becomes especially sheer; a place where the unseen reality of God’s Kingdom is made vivid to the senses; a place where the Presence of God is unmistakable as it rouses the deepest spaces within the human heart...

15 Apr 2015 | 010: Receiving the Heart of the Father – Cherie Snyder [podcast] | 01:01:15 | |
The soul searches for a Father. It was John Ortberg who put those words to me in a way so succinct it cut to the core. I see it in nearly every action of every day. Every reaching. Every ache. Desire reveals design. Design reveals destiny. It is the intention of the heart of our True Father that we would become sons... That's why George MacDonald offers this invitation: The post 010: Receiving the Heart of the Father – Cherie Snyder [podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil. | |||
06 May 2015 | 011: Live in the Day and Measure in the Decade [podcast] | 00:34:35 | |
It is rare that we pause and pull back far enough from our daily life to observe and wonder about the who we have and have not yet become. At Wild at Heart we produce a weekly podcast, and Craig and Allen recently invited me into the studio to reflect on how we've each changed over the last decade...

01 Jul 2015 | 012: Your New Name [podcast] | 00:44:51 | |
C.S. Lewis, in The Problem of Pain, once said this, What can be more a man’s own than this new name which even in eternity remains a secret between God and him? And what shall we take this secrecy to mean? Surely, that each of the redeemed shall forever know and praise... The post 012: Your New Name [podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil. | |||
05 Aug 2015 | 013: Quick [podcast] | 00:13:14 | |
"Deep calls unto deep..." the Scriptures suggest (Psalm 42:7). There is in every moment of every day an accessible onramp to the narrow road that leads to Life. Often the onramp is hidden in the ache and longing to ever more wholly experience life as a son. And when we pause and let this ache rise...

09 Oct 2015 | 014: Getting Naked – Styles of Relating (Part 1 of 2) [Podcast] | 00:53:47 | |
How we relate with other people is one of the greatest indicators of our spiritual maturity. This was the counsel offered by an older, wiser man years ago as he helped untie the knots in my rope and my marriage.

09 Feb 2016 | 016: Dismantling the Fig Leaf (Part One of Two) [Podcast] | 00:25:55 | |
I've lost the ability to bullshit. It's the me I've always wanted to be. It's one of my all-time favorite film quotes, spoken by Jerry Maguire as he sheds the Poser and becomes more and more the kind of man to whom God can entrust His kingdom. The film is a modern parable of a transformational process being made available to us every day.

14 Mar 2016 | 017: Dismantling the Fig Leaf (Part Two of Two) [Podcast] | 00:21:27 | |
Eugene Petersen, author of The Message, makes this observation: The two most difficult things to get straight in life are love and God. More often than not the mess that we make of our lives can be traced to the failure in one or both of these areas. Sages have a capacity to see our lives illuminated with a glow that can only be appreciated through the view of many decades to come.

14 Apr 2016 | 019: A Beautiful God [Podcast] | 00:21:09 | |
God’s kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic—what a find!—and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buy that field. -Matthew 13:44 The post 019: A Beautiful God [Podcast] appeared first on Become Good Soil. | |||

04 Jul 2016 | 021: You Are His Favorite [Podcast] | 00:15:30 | |
It was a shimmering rehearsal dinner, the headwaters of which were most certainly in Eternity. The choicest wine flowed, but even more, the choicest stories: stories of daring, risk, and deep redemption. Family and friends honored Abbey and Shaun with words of profound affection, honor for obstacles overcome, and the kind of faithful knowing and seeing that forms the texture of our deepest longings.

If we are relational to our core, fashioned in the image of the One who is Three, then it is in dynamic relationship that we participate in the unending Life of God. And among human relationships, there is none more brimming with the loving potential to both expose our "not yet" and to beckon us forward than marriage...

04 Apr 2018 | 037: Contemplative Prayer – Episode 1 of 3 [podcast] | 00:38:21 | |
