Q&A with Dr. Craig Blomberg

April 23, 2023 • Kim Fearing, Craig Blomberg

If you are looking for a deeper dive into the women and historical context we discussed this season, this is the episode for you. Join Kim and Dr. Craig Blomberg of Denver Seminary as they take a scholarly perspective on questions that were submitted throughout the Audacious Love season. ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 Luke 7:36-50 ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ Do you experience joy? Where are you in the order of things? --) Repentant heart. Is there anything that has been stirred up in you that is causing tension and you need to repent and ask forgiveness? --) Offer of forgiveness from God. Do you believe that God wants to forgive you in order to save and heal you? Spiritually, physically, emotionally, mentally. If not, why? There is nothing you could do that could keep his forgiveness out of reach. He shows us time and time again that he enters into the places where the outcasts live. --) Are you extending the love of Christ to others by showing acts of love so that it remains flowing rather than stagnant? Is there someone you need to forgive today? ============================= Audacious Love: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Lepard Productions 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of Lepard Productions and the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

Ep.5 | Uninvited

April 5, 2023 • Kim Feari • Luke 7:36–50

To show up uninvited to someone’s home, knowing judgmental stares and comments await, took unbelievable courage. But then, to perform such a scandalous act in front of those very same onlookers was shocking - and admirable. What’s a person to do when you’re overcome with adoration for Christ? His unimaginable forgiveness has the power to produce a response of love, even in the face of disdain. Christ wooing us back to himself is cause for joy. So, how do we experience that kind of uncontained joy for ourselves? ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 Luke 7:36-50 ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ Do you experience joy? Where are you in the order of things? --) Repentant heart. Is there anything that has been stirred up in you that is causing tension and you need to repent and ask forgiveness? --) Offer of forgiveness from God.

Ep.4 | I Don't Get It

March 12, 2023 • Kim Fearing • Luke 1—2

Do you ever find yourself not fully understanding someone? There is much to say about Mary, the mother of Jesus, but what did Mary fully know about her son? Mary repeatedly treasures things up in her heart to ponder about Jesus, seemingly struggling to fully understand him. That’s something I think we can all relate to. I wonder if she knew that if she simply kept believing, even in the midst of confusion, obediently saying YES to her God and moving along, that somewhere along the way, there would be more answers, more clarity. Perhaps that the point for all of us. Not to have all the answers in order for it all to make sense, but to simply have a collection of answers to “Who are you?” so that we can more accurately answer Who am I. ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 Luke 1-2 ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ What do you ponder and treasure in your heart? How do you protect who God is in your memories so that we “get at the right meaning” of who he is? How do you “hold up” your thoughts of him? ✅ When others rush off to share their experience or knowledge, do you stay back, remain still and ponder with God? What would it look like for you to have a holy curiosity? ============================= Audacious Love: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Andrew Lepard 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

Ep.3 | Is It Well With My Soul?

February 27, 2023 • Kim Fearing • John 4:4–42

The nameless Samaritan woman at the well unsuspectingly shows up one afternoon in hopes of avoiding anyone she knows. She never expected a male stranger to appear and know everything about her past. Like the other women, she has a choice before her. What happens when her truth is exposed? What happens when our truth is exposed? Do we stick around long enough to watch our sin wash away in the stream of living, flowing water or do we remain stuck in the dark and stagnant waters? ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 John 4:4-42 ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ What do you believe to be true about Jesus from personal life experiences (i.e. Comforter, Restorer, Loyal, Critical, Distant, etc.) Can you name the parts of his character that have become distorted? (i.e. Critical, Distant) ✅ Is there a place where the guilt, grief, or pain, darkens the forgiveness Jesus is offering? Would you be willing to confess that now? Jesus offers a life of freedom in living water not a life of condemnation. ============================= Audacious Love: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Andrew Lepard 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

Ep.2 | The Ultimate MasterClass

February 13, 2023 • Kim Fearing • Luke 10:38–42, John 7:38

The story of Mary and Martha is often presented with the message “Be more like Mary, less like Martha.” Yet, what is the deeper meaning behind Martha’s busyness and Mary’s kneeling? Is Martha doing it wrong and Mary right? Explore how our giftings and personalities are intentionally placed within us - never to be squandered - yet what is the “one thing necessary” that must come before service? In one audacious act, Jesus sends a clear message that he counts women among his disciples. Socially determined roles are no longer the defining point. In God’s domain, neither gender, race, status, wealth, past behavior, or purity determine one’s position. Women become equals to men as disciples under the teachings of their Master - the son of God. It is here we realize that we all have a Master. After listening to this week’s episode and reflecting on the questions, notice who reigns as Master in your life, and the invitation to discipleship that is extended to everyone and results in reinstating Christ to that title in your life. ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 Luke 10:38-42 📖 John 7:38 ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ What consumes most of your time and your thoughts? That has become your priority, and the priority is the Master that guides and directs our lives. What needs to be rearranged in your life in order for Christ to be your Master? ✅ Would you consider yourself a student of Jesus? If not, who or what are you learning from? What would it look like for you to learn from Christ - not to merely gather information - but to put it into action? ============================= Audacious Love: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Andrew Lepard 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved

Ep.1 | Public Shaming to Public Naming

January 30, 2023 • Kim Fearing

The story of the nameless hemorrhaging woman is a picture of someone likely feeling hopeless, desperate, and rejected - physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially empty. Yet, she has enough faith to show up when Jesus arrives to her small town, despite her lingering doubt and questions, even though she has absolutely nothing to offer him. Shockingly, we watch Jesus’ audacious response. But will she hear him call out to her for restoration, or will she quietly retreat through the crowd back to her isolated life? ============================= Scripture/Book Reading: ============================= 📖 Mark 5:21-34 (Hemorrhaging Woman); also in Luke 8:40-56, Matthew 9:18-26 📖 Ephesians 3: 17b-19 (Power of Christ) 📖 A Week in the Life of Book Series (to explore first-century culture) ============================= Reflection: ============================= ✅ Do you feel you have to show up as the perfect person, having done something or putting on a mask to get God’s attention and listen to your whole truth? ✅ If so, explore what is holding you back. Notice anything that gets stirred up in your soul. What keeps you from lingering in the presence of God when he calls your name? If you show up with doubt, and a broken/repentant heart, do you believe that is enough faith? Challenge yourself to dig deeper than your initial response (i.e. If your immediate response is busyness, what’s behind that? Is it a way to escape? Do those other things bring affirmation and acceptance? Is your identity in your title at work rather than as a daughter/son of God?) ============================= Audacious Love: A Product of Anchor + Waves Channel Credits ============================= 🎙️ HOST:: Kim Fearing 🎛️ PRODUCER:: Andrew Lepard 🎨 CREATIVE DIRECTOR:: Colin McFarland A Product of the Mission Hills Podcast Network in Littleton, CO. © Mission Hills Church - All Rights Reserved
