    Podcast Update
    Feb 3 2026
    The next three episodes will come your way on February 10th. You'll have the opportunity to listen to a larger conversation in those three episodes we'll be back with episode 400 to start the Lenten journey with a podcast on February 24th. So today we have a setup for our next three episodes. So here's why we're dropping all three episodes at once. You might call it a little mini series. One of the quiet dangers of our time is not simply fear, but how easily fear is reshaping people's vision. What we're seeing in the world is that people become categories, lives become labels, humanity gets flattened into conclusions, and when that happens, something essential is lost. Not only about others, but about ourselves. Scripture though calls us back to a different way of seeing before we're defined by our work, our opinions, or our circumstances. We are named and claimed as children of God. This identity isn't earned. It's received. And when we trust that truth about ourselves, we're free to honor it in others. Jesus models for us a way of life that refuses to separate dignity from accountability. He holds people responsible without stripping them of their worth. He confronts harm without denying humanity. Love in the way of Jesus never requires cruelty. So the next three episodes are going to invite us to look again, to see ourselves with honesty and with grace to see the person at the crosswalk in the checkout line or across the table. Not as a problem to solve, but as someone deeply loved by God in a world eager to divide and reduce, choosing to see one another as children of God becomes a faithful act of resistance and of hope. Seeing every person, including ourselves as a child of God, changes how we speak, how we act, and how we faithfully follow Jesus. So over the course of three episodes, we're going to explore what happens when we stop seeing and our loss of humanity, who Jesus is, God with skin on, and how Jesus helps us to restore our sight. And then finally learning to see again, following love as a way of life. So you'll hear back from us next week with those three episodes. And then as Tim already mentioned, we'll see you again on February 24th, or you'll hear us again on February 24th. Bye for now.

    Episode 396: Discernment as a Way of Discipleship
    Jan 27 2026
    This week, explore what it means to live and lead with truth that can be trusted. In a culture shaped by reaction, urgency, and "truth-ish" sound bites, they reflect on discernment as a spiritual practice rooted in relationship with Jesus, not impulse or opinion. This conversation invites leaders and congregations to recover holy pause, reflect deeply, and live up to the name Christian by embodying truth with integrity, humility, and grace.

    Episode 395: A Holy Tension
    Jan 20 2026
    In this episode of Transforming Mission's podcast, Tim and Sara explore what it means to live faithfully in the tension between what is and what can be. In a polarized, fast-paced world that trains us to react, they reflect on Scripture, identity, and presence as essential practices for Christ-centered discipleship. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and Romans 8, this conversation invites listeners to consider how hope is formed not by escaping discomfort, but by remaining grounded in Jesus, cultivating trust, and practicing faithful presence with one another.
