Conversations with Alan

Establishing Practices

Christ Community Church — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 15:00:00 -0700

How do you go from learning about something to actually incorporating it to your life rhythm? We are all in a journey of being shaped and, intentionally or not, the things we do are forming us. In this podcast, we talk about how to establish these good habits in creative ways that are not rituals but life-giving practices that have value and good fruit in our lives.

Sabbath

Christ Community Church — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 16:00:00 -0600

Sabbath is a gift from God; it is a time to cease from and to delight in. For something that sounds so life-giving and enjoyable, how can it be such a challenging practice for us to incorporate in our weekly rhythms? In this episode, we talk about our need for rest, and what establishing the spiritual discipline of Sabbath can look like in our individual ways.

Abiding in Christ

Christ Community Church — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 15:00:00 -0600

How do we practice Jesus' presence in a more relational, ongoing, and transformative way? In this episode, we have a conversation about what abiding in Jesus can look like.

Prayer

Christ Community Church — Wed, 20 Oct 2021 12:47:10 -0600

In this episode, Pastor Alan shares the journey of his prayer life, and what he discovered that changed prayer from "talking to God" to "being with God". We talk about the shift in this experience to be less like a duty and more like an enjoyable and life-giving relationship.

Scripture Meditation

Christ Community Church — Tue, 12 Oct 2021 17:00:00 -0600

What's the role of Scriptures in our lives as we follow Jesus? How can the Bible come to life and be relevant and applicable for us today?

Stillness

Christ Community Church — Tue, 05 Oct 2021 17:00:00 -0600

We are immersed in a culture of distraction and busyness that leads to this disconnect in multiple areas of our lives. Pastor Alan will share his journey in practicing stillness and how that can help us regain our ability to focus on people, on ourselves, and on the Lord.
