  • Community: When It’s Hard and Why It’s Worth It
    Jun 19 2025

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. Hey, this week, I'm joined by Jessica Rust, one of our connection formation pastors, and she is gonna kind of guide the conversation because I was the one who actually brought the message on Sunday, and we're talking about community, and it gets super complicated. We're supposed to mean community; we can't thrive without it. And yet, community is sometimes the worst, so painful. And yet so beautiful when done correctly. So we're going to talk about that. Let's dive right in.

    Hello friends. Welcome to the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we flipped seats. Aaron preached the sermon. I get to moderate the conversation, and it is a fun one. We'll be looking at the last two chapters of Revelation, answering all sorts of questions around what this eternal city is, and a bunch of rabbit trails that Aaron chose to follow. Enjoy.

  • Why Lament Matters in the Christian Life
    May 22 2025

    Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week on the show, we're talking about grief and sorrow and lament before you turn off the episode. There's some beauty in this conversation, not because it's just lighthearted, but because God gives us some unique promises to stare these realities in the face well, to be with us in the midst of it, and we somehow have this ability as human beings to hold both hope and grief at the same time. Let's dive into the episode and see what there is to hear.

  • Does success make us happy?
    May 15 2025

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, let me be honest, we get a little melancholy. We talk about the tensions of growing older and finding meaning and purpose in life, and how so much of life feels fleeting. You, you rise the ranks to the next step in life and it just feels empty, and then you rise and you get this new aspect of life and it feels empty. And what's up with that? And what do we do about it as human beings, and does God have anything to say about it? Let's tune in. Send in your questions at redcouchtheology.com.

  • Fear: The Great Enemy of your Soul
    May 8 2025

    Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we dive into a topic that haunts the human condition, maybe more than almost anything else does. It works its way into systems, into relationships, and undoes them. It shatters our experience of the world around us. It prevents us from living lives that are full and beautiful and good. It's constantly lurking around every corner and threatens your human existence, and I'm not gonna tell you what it is, so you'll have to listen to the show. Let's dive right in.

  • Ending Cycles of Shame
    May 1 2025

    Hello, hello, and welcome to another episode of the Red Couch Theology podcast. This week, we're diving into the new series and talking about what shame does to the systems and structures in our lives. Shame is kind of like a virus. Affects everything in our world, our lives, our friends' lives, our businesses, and on and on. And I think Alex gives us some really interesting insight into how to combat that in this episode. Let's dive right in.
