Vox Podcast With Mike Erre

What do you know about the Enneagram? Where did it start? What does it mean? How can we use it? Does it have any place in our spiritual lives or is it all just a fad? Annie Diamond is an Enneagram Coach who teaches from the Narrative Method and in this episodes she explains the ins and outs of the Enneagram including it’s very early origins from the “9 Deadly Sins”. Annie discusses how every number has a “sin” or a “fixation” which can pull them away from God or others around them, and how noticing these fixations can help recenter and realign our thoughts, emotions and actions. In addition to these fixations, each number also has a door to the “higher self”, the part of the self that allows us to fully step into who God created us to be. Annie leads us through a thoughtful discussion about each these crucial aspects of the Enneagram and how it can make a big impact in our lives. If you’d like to know more about Annie, you can visit her website at: https://www.enneagramforwholeness.com or on inst

It is the thing everyone is talking about, the reason why we are all home, and the biggest shift in our global world that most of us have experienced. The Coronavirus has changed the way we navigate the world, is changing our economy, and is brining up questions about what God is doing in the midst of this and how as Jesus followers we can hold faithful witness. We hope you enjoy this special episode and join us for some of these upcoming live events and gatherings to help make quarantine more bearable and give us a space to wrestle together: Every Sunday Bonnie will be on Facebook and Instagram live to lead us in different spiritual direction practices. 8:30 am PST/10:30 am CST/ 11:30 am EST “What is God Doing?” Starting Wednesday April 1, Mike will be on Facebook and Instagram live at 9:00 am PST/11:00 am CST/12:00 pm EST to pastor us through some of the theological questions and rumbling during this pandemic.

We are thrilled to have the one and only Mike Erre on back on the show today! After three months dedicated therapy, healing and re-orientation, Mike is back to share more of his story. In this episode, Bonnie and Tim talk with Mike as he updates everyone on where he has been, what he has been doing and learning. Mike highly recommends OnSite Workshops, a therapeutic retreat center in Nashville, TN and has found great growth and solace in both the Enneagram and Spiritual Direction. Mike also gives an update on Justina and the family, and Tim and Bonnie share some of their own learnings from the past few months. In addition, we also answer the burning question, “Is Mike back for good?” If you are a newer listener and aren’t sure what we are discussing, you may want to visit Episode 224 “Together, In Process” which explains Mike’s reason for spending time away from the podcast. We are excited for the road ahead, and how the new growth of the team will help continue to serve you. We can’t thank you e

We sat down with Dr. Bradley Jersak to discuss his book on judgment and hell called "Her Gates Will Never Be Shut." In this conversation, we explore the many differing views of hell and how they differ from one another, the question of judgment including who is judged and if it's eternal or temporal. Dr. Jersak takes us through numerous Scriptures, definitions & Church history, as well as pastoral care. We value these types of conversations as we believe they are essential in learning more about parts of our faith that may have been inherited, and giving ourselves and our community a chance to own them for ourselves.

In today’s episode we talk with sexologist Dr. Celeste Holbrook and dive into the aftermath of purity culture. We discuss the good things that purity culture left behind as well as what needs some repairing. Dr. Holbrook believes that our inner feelings of shame and fear that was often taught to us within purity culture can continually impact our sex lives in negative ways unless we heal those wounds. Dr. Holbrook’s life work is dedicated to helping people heal and find a healthy sex life that is based on pleasure, connection and belonging. This episode contains explicit language, and may trigger some deep wounds for some. Please check out Dr. Holbrook’s site for resources to help heal some of this pain with a trusted professional.

Happy Monday! Bonnie and Tim had the pleasure of sitting down with Skye Jethani from the Holy Post Podcast, a frequent guest and part of the VOX Community. They have a fascinating conversation on "A Theology of Vocation." What does the Bible say about your work? What does it mean to be "called" to something? Does every job need to be under the umbrella of church and ministry? How do we know what we're called to? What about dreams and desires? All of this is covered and more! Thanks for listening!

Happy New Year to YOU! We thought we'd start of 2020 with a soft, non-controversial topic in which we have very apathetic opinions of: What it means to be a "Biblical" Woman.

A new mini episode is out! So many different questions, so little time...but we try! We talk Trump, the band Skillet, the deconstruction of the Church, and a suggestion that maybe some people want to have a few tiers on Patreon to be named after Taylor Swift. Also, Mike is still wearing all black.

A new mini episode is up in which we read an email from al listener who suggests that Erre is headed into a "liberal theology" in the next few years. He sights a few things, one being the liberal cohosts on the show. Find out what Erre says and how this type of comment is heard differently by the woman at the table.

So many of you are launching micro communities with us around the world (yes, the world!!) and we couldn’t be more excited! We’ve been getting lots of emails regarding different cities where you all are starting them, as well as a request for more information about what a micro community is. Tim takes the lead (and the crowd goes willlldddd!!!…) on what his experience of a micro community has been, how it’s different from church, how it is formatted and their genius childcare plan.

A couple of weeks ago we interviewed Alan Frow (Episode 219), a pastor from Orange County, CA who is also a Complementarian. It was great to interview someone with an opposing viewpoint, but also who upheld kindness and a respectful demeanor towards women, unlike recent examples of some well known Complementarians (Episode 218). In this episode, we dive into a few emails we got in response to Frow including a question regarding planting a church with someone who holds an opposing view: Is it possible to do church ministry together while fully honoring both parties? Take a listen to see what we say, as well as our answers to a few other questions on the Women in Leadership subject.
