Season 6 Episode 12 - JESUS PEOPLE: Mary Magdalene

Join Rick for the fourth episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of a broken and traumatized woman who became one of those in Jesus’ inner circle. She’s important to focus on during Holy Week, because she was there at every step—along the Via Dolorosa, on Golgotha, at the tomb when He was buried, and at the tomb when He rose from the dead. Her name is Mary Magdalene. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 11 - JESUS-PEOPLE: The Beloved Disciple

Join Rick for the third episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of the man who calls himself “The Disciple Jesus Loved.” His name is John, brother of James and son of Zebedee and Salome. In the time of Jesus it’s a common humility to refer to yourself in the third person, but John could’ve tagged himself “the smart one” or “the fast one” or “the loud one.” Instead, he identifies as someone beloved by Jesus. Why? Well, when you’re close to someone, you get “infected” by that person… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 10 - JESUS-PEOPLE: Nicodemus

Join Rick for the second episode in a new series “JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. In this episode we encounter Nicodemus, who is an old man when he first meets Jesus. He’s a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the ancient equivalent to our Supreme Court. He is mentioned just three times in the Gospel of John. But his first meeting with Jesus is under cover of darkness, because Jesus had become quite controversial among the Jewish religious leaders, and it was risky to show any interest in Him. We can learn a lot about Jesus by paying close attention to how he related to this distinguished and wise leader, and how Nicodemus related to Him.

Season 6 Episode 9 - JESUS-PEOPLE: Judas

Join Rick for the first episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. You can learn a lot about a person by paying attention to the people that love him and the people that hate him. Dr. Peter Kreeft, a Boston University professor and C.S. Lewis scholar, says: “The Greek word used to describe everyone’s reaction to [Jesus] in the Gospels is ‘thauma’—wonder. This was true of his enemies, who killed him. Of his disciples, who worshipped him. And even of agnostics, who went away shaking their heads…” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of His most-famous enemy—Judas.

Season 6 Episode 8 - BEST-OF: What Is the Meaning of Life?

Join Rick and Becky for this “re-podcast” BEST-OF episode from two years ago—“What Is the Meaning of Life?” In the past three years, this episode had the most listeners. Next week, Rick will begin a new series called “Jesus People”—exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. Meanwhile, in this BEST-OF episode Rick and Becky take on the big question that lurks in the background for all of us: What is the purpose and reason for living? Although we all have different answers to what matters to us, what is our path to a “truly alive” life? We’ll look at how Jesus framed the meaning of life to those he encountered.

Season 6 Episode 7 - KINGDOM COME: Hurricanes

Join Rick for the 10th episode of the series KINGDOM COME. We’re coming out of a very active hurricane season, and weather experts warn we’re entering into another in 2021. Hurricanes are frightening because they’re dangerous and destructive. But it turns out that hurricanes keep our planet alive by roiling the waters of our oceans so deeply that their nutrients are widely redistributed, causing rapid growth of the carbon-dioxide-eating phytoplankton and, thus, keeping the Earth from boiling over. In the Kingdom of God, when we experience hurricanes in our life, we find new life. Let’s meet, again, the Hurricane whose name is Jesus… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 6 - KINGDOM COME: Miracles

Join Rick for the 9th episode of the series KINGDOM COME. Miracles are startling, because they're supposed to be impossible, right? And in this episode I tell a personal story that certainly qualifies as a miracle on every level. But the foundation of this miracle is not in the physical impossibility of what happened, but a revelation during my chance encounter with a man on a beach who reminds me a lot of Jesus... In this episode we explore “Miracles,” and the heart behind them. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the 7th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. Rick often uses a favorite phrase to describe the mission of Jesus: He came to make beauty out of ugly. Not “pretty”… Beauty. In a very real, practical, visceral way, beauty-making and beauty-revealing is exactly what Jesus is doing in the world, and in your life, right now… We need “beauty-fighters” in this season of ugly… And it’s always been a season of ugly in the world. Will you join? Let’s explore the central quality of Jesus’ heart, infecting the whole Kingdom of God—“Beauty” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 3 - KINGDOM COME: Seventy-Times-Seven

Join Rick for the 6th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, whose life we celebrate this week, led during a time of great division and racial tension and disillusionment in the country—like our time today. He’d experienced pain and brutality from others, over and over. But he was much more than a civil rights leader—he was a pastor planting seeds of the Kingdom of God in a fallow soil. He proclaimed: “Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude…” It reminds us of what Jesus said about forgiveness—“Seventy-Times-Seven…” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 2 - KINGDOM COME: Above All Else

Join Rick for the 5th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus launches His ministry by doing something He’ll never do again—simply “talking at” a large crowd of people for a long time. Why does He do this? There’s a clue at the end of Matthew 6, when He says: “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” When He says “Above all else” it’s a distinct declaration—of all the things we’re pursuing in life, this is the highest pursuit. Here let’s explore what “Above All Else” means in our everyday life... Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 6 Episode 1 - KINGDOM COME: The Antidote to Evil

Join Rick for the 4th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. When we live inside the culture of the Kingdom of God—the way of living that Jesus came to plant, like a seed, in our broken reality—we are very aware of the influence of evil all around us, but we are not impressed by it. The goal of evil is to “kill, steal, and destroy,” and it is impersonal in its approach. We are not “persons,” in the mind of the one Jesus called “the evil one,” we are weeds that must be plucked or cut. At the start of a new year, let’s ready ourselves again for living a life that “overcomes evil with good.” Here let’s explore “The Antidote to Evil,” as revealed and practiced by Jesus.

Season 5 Episode 44 - KINGDOM COME: Bow Down

Join Rick for the 2nd episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. What are some obvious differences between a democracy, like the one we live in, and living under the rule of a king? Most of us have no idea what it means to actually live in a kingdom, and we’ve never actually been in a close relationship with a king. So, even though Jesus tells us that he’s an ambassador for the Kingdom of God, even the embodiment of it, it’s hard for us to understand what that really means. Let’s explore the upending, transformational reality of a “Bow Down” relationship with Jesus. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available! Head over to jesuscentereddaily.com to download a 10-day sampler of the devotion, or to order it for yourself or as a gift.

Season 5 Episode 43 - KINGDOM COME: Family Traditions

Join Rick for the 1st episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. What did Jesus really come to do—what was His “mission”? We’ve been told that it’s basically a rescue mission. But our “rescue” is simply the epic fruit of a restored relationship, which is the passion of God. The mission of God, however, has to do with planting the culture of the Trinity in the broken and scarred garden that was once Eden. Jesus focuses, over and over, on bringing the Kingdom of God, His own “culture,” into our reality. So today we’ll explore what that looks like for us in everyday life, through the lens of “Family Traditions.” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 5 Episode 41 - PRESENT CONCERNS: Hope Deferred

Join Rick and Becky for the 7th episode of the new series PRESENT CONCERNS—we’ll explore our looming life challenges and discover how Jesus works our ugly into beauty, like clay in His hands. In this episode we’ll explore… “Hope Deferred.” We tend to think about our hopes in the major categories of life, but we have hundreds of tiny, unrealized hopes crawling around our life every day. And those broken hopes are like termites, eating away at our foundation of trust. The repeated destruction of our hope is a relationship-killer—in our relationship with Jesus and with others. So, how do we find a source of hope that isn’t at risk, and can’t be thwarted or killed? Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Season 5 Episode 34 - IN HIS IMAGE: Grow

Join Rick for the 12th and final episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. The tough, marginal, and challenging conditions that produce rare wine from stressed vines also produce martyrs and saints and “beautiful messes” like you and me. Paul tells us we are “struck down, but not destroyed... so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.” Jesus will form in us a new capacity for loving others in the “marginal climate” of our soul. In our weakness, He is making us strong. We are plunked down into challenging, weakness-revealing situations because the leverage we experience prompts growth… But that’s not the only way we grow—we need care and tending as well… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is just a little over a week from its release day. But you can get your copy before it’s released by joining the official Launch Team for the book. It’s easy—just click on the link below and sign up.

Season 5 Episode 33 - IN HIS IMAGE: Compassion

Join Rick for the 11th episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. When you hear the cares and concerns of others, do you enter into their reality, or do you keep your distance (however subtly)? When a conniving Pharisee asks Jesus about the “most important” commandment, Jesus tells him what he already knows—“Love the Lord your God with all your heart…”—but then adds a second “equally important” commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Here we explore what it means to treat our neighbor’s concerns and struggles and pain is if they were our concerns and struggles and pain.

Season 5 Episode 32 - IN HIS IMAGE: Pursuit

Join Rick for the 10th episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. We all long to be noticed and enjoyed and appreciated for who we really are—to be pursued by a Lover who will sacrifice to be with us. Today we explore the way Jesus moves toward us in our life, captured best by the word “Pursuit.” And though we long for His pursuit, we are also frightened by it… In much the same way a squirrel freezes when we move toward it. Here’s how to un-freeze—to move toward Him and He moves toward us… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is just a few weeks from its release day.

Season 5 Episode 31 - IN HIS IMAGE: Authenticity

Join Rick for the ninth episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today author Jeff White is on the podcast to talk about “Authenticity.” His new “Story Bible for Adults” called Eyewitness is just out—Jeff’s challenge was to tell the stories of the Bible from a raw, first-person perspective. There’s much in the Bible that might be called “not suitable for children,” so Rick and Jeff explore together what authenticity really is, why we crave it so much, and how Jesus set the standard for it… Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 30 - IN HIS IMAGE: Presence

Join Rick as he dives into the eighth episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring an overlooked-but-crucial aspect of how Jesus lived His life—the word is “Presence.” Jesus lived in “a state of active, open attention on the present,” which is how the editors of Psychology Today describe “mindfulness,” a New-Agey word that is actually rooted in how Jesus engaged His environment and exercised influence in His relationships. He knew how to live in the present moment, fully there—and we can learn to live the same way… Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 29 - IN HIS IMAGE: Relaxed

Join Rick as he dives into the seventh episode of the series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring why “Relaxed” is theologian Dallas Willard’s favorite one-word description of Jesus. When we “live and breathe and move” from a relaxed place in our life, we are fully living our dependent relationship with Jesus. Discover the source of a relaxed soul, and how to drink deeply from that source. Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 28 - IN HIS IMAGE: Work

Join Rick as he dives into the sixth episode of a new series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring why Work is a core expression of Jesus’ heart, and why he honors effort but not earning. Work is the transformational expression of His redemptive love, and is therefore central to who we are. But we don’t always work from a place of rest, which is what Jesus modeled.

Season 5 Episode 27 - IN HIS IMAGE: Trust

Join Rick as he dives into the fifth episode of a new series IN HIS IMAGE. Today we’ll be exploring how Trust is central to the Kingdom of God, and is at the core of Jesus’ “operating system.” A proverb reminds us: We gain trust in drops, but we lose it in buckets. Why is this proverb true? Why is it so hard to build trust and so easy to lose it? Can we ever develop an unshakeable trust in anyone or anything, or will it always be fragile? And how can my trust in Jesus and others translate to a relaxed way of living? Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 26 - IN HIS IMAGE: Fairness vs. Justice

Join Rick as he dives into the fourth episode of a new series called IN HIS IMAGE. Jesus said a lot of hard things—things that sound impossible, actually. But none harder than this: “Love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! In that way, you will be acting as true children of your Father in heaven. For he gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike” (Matthew 5:43-45). What does this really mean? We’ll explore this impossible relational standard, reflected in Jesus and never more necessary than this moment in history… Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 25 - IN HIS IMAGE: Hope

In this episode we’ll dive into one of the “Big Three”… In 1 Corinthians 13:13 Paul says: “Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” We think of these words as verbs and nouns, but they’re also characteristics that describe Jesus’ “operating system.” Let’s explore one of the “slightly less greatest” of the Big Three—Hope… What is dangerous about this word? What does Jesus mean by it? And when Paul says hope is one of the three things that will “last forever,” what does he mean?

Season 5 Episode 24 - IN HIS IMAGE: Passion

Yes, like sheep, we are a needy people. But we don’t really want to live under the shadow of desperate circumstances as a prerequisite for our intimate dependence on Jesus. It’s hard to live that way. But there is an “alternative fuel source” that those who are living a dependent life with Jesus have discovered. It’s the same fuel that propelled Jesus in His relationship with His Father and the Spirit. It’s called… passion. Have you joined the Pigs?

During our Pandemic Apocalypse, we’ve competed in the “decathlon” of emotional workouts. Uncertainty, fear, and disorientation are powerful, and a steady stream of bad news is like getting emotionally water-boarded. We feel more needy than ever, and therefore more vulnerable than ever… Jesus wants us to find Home in Him, a relationship that invites our vulnerability, and gives us a safe place to be needy… Join Rick as he launches a new series called IN HIS IMAGE—together, explore why Jesus loved neediness so much, and how and why He made Himself vulnerable to need… Have you joined the Pigs?

Season 5 Episode 22 - Foundations: Jesus the Disobedient

To win in a game of Simon Says, we have to radically obey what we’re told. And we’re living in one big challenging game of Simon Says in our culture right now… The tension that exists as we’re “opening up” is real and widespread, because our obedience to “Simon”—government leaders and scientists—is in tension with our determination to choose what we think is right and good. Jesus also had a complicated relationship with obedience. He lived His life “under obedience,” but was purposefully disobedient. Join Rick as he explores why Jesus obeyed, or didn’t—and what we can learn from His example. Have you joined the Pigs?

We're washed over by waves of grief, fear, and uncertainty in our world right now. As followers of Jesus, we know that racism is contrary in every way to the heart of Jesus.

Although God is self-sufficient in every way, he decides to create more. The “heavens and the earth.” You and me (and look what trouble He invited when He did that). What is the purpose of more when you are already enough? Join Rick as he continues a series exploring the foundational truths connected to Jesus and his mission in our lives.
