Episode #1 Coffee, Books & Star Wars
<p>In this very first episode we answer some questions to tell you a little bit about ourselves, the things we like and where we're coming from. We nerd out on movies, books, and even coffee, but most importantly Adrian admits to being a Star Wars fan. In this podcast we'll discuss the intersection of faith and culture, sharing our thoughts, but also the way Grace Community Church navigates the hard and even uncomfortable at times topics we all face, have faced, or will face. But for right now, enjoy this first conversation with Adrian Early, Alan-Michael Sprinkle, and Christina Redman.</p> <p>Linked below are the books we discussed for reference. </p> <p>Books that have shaped us:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Christ-Centered-Expositor-Word-Driven-Disciple-Makers/dp/1433685744/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1F5Y6D71HTCO1&dchild=1&keywords=the+christ+centered+expositor&qid=1631202326&sprefix=The+Christ+Centered%2Caps%2C207&sr=8-1">The Christ-Centered Expositor,</a> by Tony Merida</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Hole-Our-Holiness-Paperback-Godliness/dp/1433541351/ref=sr_1_1?crid=O77WXB2CRO2K&dchild=1&keywords=hole+in+our+holiness&qid=1631202412&sprefix=hole+in+our%2Caps%2C172&sr=8-1">Hole in Our Holiness</a>, by Kevin DeYoung</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Reason-God-Belief-Age-Skepticism/dp/1594483493/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3CGIXPP619ML6&dchild=1&keywords=reason+for+god+timothy+keller&qid=1631202445&sprefix=reason+for+God%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-2">Reason for God</a>, by Tim Keller</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Questions-Diagnose-Your-Spiritual-Health/dp/1641583304/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=10+questions+whitney&qid=1631202478&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFYOExXVk9GWkw4TFUmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTAxNzcyNjcxVUtLS1NMQzY2OEo3JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA0NjE5MjcxTDc0RDM3UjMySEIzJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==">10 Questions to Diagnose Your Spiritual Health</a>, by Donald Whitney</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Grace-Jerry-Bridges/dp/1631468723/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2SPG6R0LQGC41&dchild=1&keywords=discipline+of+grace+by+jerry+bridges&qid=1631202533&sprefix=discipline+of+gra%2Caps%2C200&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzVU1YOUI2RE44RzdLJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzA3MjgwMlhBM0VIRjVJRUJPWSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTE3Mzg0MTZXWktWSUE3UjJPUCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=">Discipline of Grace</a>, by Jerry Bridges</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ragamuffin-Gospel-Bedraggled-Beat-Up-Burnt/dp/1590525027/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2L4ZC6UPON3SD&dchild=1&keywords=ragamuffin+gospel+brennan+manning&qid=1631202585&sprefix=ragamuffin%2Caps%2C193&sr=8-1">Ragamuffin Gospel</a>, by Brennan Manning</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Practice-Presence-God-Brother-Lawrence-ebook/dp/B002BH3NN6/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1631202622&sr=8-4">The Practice of the Presence of God</a>, by Brother Lawrence</li> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Multiply-Disciples-Making-Francis-Chan/dp/0781408237/ref=sr_1_2?crid=F7RTTZGQYMYK&dchild=1&keywords=multiply+by+francis+chan&qid=1631202682&sprefix=multiply%2Caps%2C234&sr=8-2">Multiply</a>, by Francis Chan</li> <li>Misreading Scripture with Western Eyes, by E.
