Scott Sauls has an interesting premise represented in the title of his book Irresistible Faith. Sometimes faith seems resistible and even repulsive. But if there is an element to our faith that would make it irresistible to us and to those around us, what can we do to see that happen here and now. This conversation with Pastor Scott Sauls is a very helpful perspective. Join the book club at KurtsBookClub.com

In her new book, Taste and See, Margaret explores different stories from the scriptures that have to do with meals and finds God in unexpected places in these stories. She goes on an expedition to interview people that add to her insights and help ignite imagination in her readers. She is an inspiration in reading with an open mind and soft eyes.

This conversation with Pastor Rick McKinley about Faith For This Moment is extremely appropriate for this moment. The first part of the book helps us understand the importance of exile in living as Christians specifically in America. If we will lean on the leading of God for those in exile it will help us tremendously. Then, in the second part of the book he lays out five spiritual disciplines that will help us not fit into the culture without even thinking about it. Some of the stuff that his church at Imago Dei in Portland, Oregon are doing to be salt and light is an inspiration. Join the book club at KurtsBookClub.com

Love, Skip, Jump has been a constant conversation starter since we read it. Of all of the books that we have read to date, it has created the most interesting and life giving discussions. We had to record this interview over the phone and the software cut the interview short by about 10 minutes, but we were still able to capture the amazing energy that Shelene brings to her faith.

We read Remember God during the fall of 2018. Annie is so brave and honest. We definitely talk about the book and remembering God, but we also spend a bunch of time nerding out about Donald Miller and David Crowder and way too many other things. Her addictive podcast, That Sounds Fun definitely played out during […]

The Way of the Dragon or The Way of the Lamb was one of the first books we read in our book club. The subtitle is such a prefect description of the journey that Jamin and Kyle take while searching for Jesus’ path of power in a Church that has abandoned it. Join the book club at […]
