  Episode #173

  Episode 173: Info VS Knowing

  Aug 28, 202642 min

  In this CPC Together episode from Central Peninsula Church, Brandon, Josh, Rachel, and Nico banter about missing dry evenings, Bay Area stereotypes and sports fandom, and a “would you rather” about living without mirrors or socks, leading to a discussion of cold feet, favorite socks, and memorable experiences like 1990s Pizza Hut, sunrise/sunset on El Capitan, fishing the Kenai River, and chaotic family reunions. The conversation shifts to John 7, where Jesus initially says he won’t attend the festival, then goes in secret and speaks publicly, prompting a thought experiment about whether people today would recognize Jesus and how religious systems can miss his presence. They explore the difference between information and experiential knowing in relationships and faith, linking it to evangelism as sharing how Jesus has shown up personally rather than only offering apologetic “info.” The episode closes with a thematic summary of Exodus that foreshadows the gospel: enslaved people cry out, receive a deliverer, journey toward a destination, and must choose trust and faithfulness daily amid repeated failure.

  Episode 172: Antinomianism

  Aug 21, 202648 min

  In this CPC Together Podcast episode, Kevin, Brandon, Nico, and Rachel banter about dental “chomper updates,” Sensodyne, flossing habits (including Cocofloss), and early toothpaste marketing before shifting to a discussion of Kevin’s sermon and why people often view God differently than Jesus. They recap the woman caught in adultery: the missing man suggests a trap, Jesus’ unflappable composure as he writes in the sand, and his response that upholds the law while exposing partiality. They emphasize God’s pattern of pardon before “go and sin no more,” linking salvation to healing, and highlight Jesus’ self-described inner disposition as gentle and humble, warning against mapping shame and self-condemnation onto God.

  Episode 171: Take, Bless, Break Calf, Give

  Aug 7, 20261h 4m

  On this week's CPC Together Podcast, Kevin, Brandon, and Rachel recount a chaotic 48-hour attempt to get home from Newark after United’s system outage, thunderstorms, a seven-and-a-half-hour tarmac delay, a canceled flight, lost access to checked bags, no available rental cars, a broken-down Amtrak in Delaware, and a taxi driver using a breathalyzer en route to a successful flight out of DC. They also share a humorous, dramatic story about a pickleball tournament where a calf injury ended Brandon's play while his partner won with a replacement. The conversation then shifts to John 6 and Jesus’ “hard teaching,” exploring how people reject teachings they understand but don’t want to accept, the call to wholehearted trust rather than lukewarm faith, and a communion framework—take, bless, break, give—describing Jesus receiving what we bring, affirming belovedness, bearing brokenness, and giving his life to believers.

  Episode 170: Bread of Life

  Jul 24, 20261h 18m

  Recorded backstage at Mount Hermon during family camp, Brandon, Sandy, and first-time guest Darcie swap Mount Hermon stories, reflect on “thin places,” and dig deeper into Sandy’s John 6 message, “Bread for the Journey.” They talk about how immediate appetites can numb deeper needs, why Jesus doesn’t just fix circumstances but offers himself as the Bread of Life, and what it looks like to trust God for “daily bread” through abiding, silence, and surrender. The conversation closes with a challenge for longtime Christians: familiarity with church isn’t the same as intimacy with God—spiritual formation is learning to receive life from Jesus.

  Episode 169: Believing Is Seeing

  Jul 10, 202635 min

  In this CPC Together podcast, Brandon, Rachel, Nico, and Josh trade “see it to believe it” stories before discussing Josh’s sermon on John 5 at the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus heals a man who couldn’t walk. They explore how the passage functions as a legal narrative in John, describing movements of crime, accusation, and deposition, and how the Jewish leaders’ fixation on Sabbath law blinds them to the miracle. Josh revisits Jesus’ warning to “stop sinning,” frames it as a call to repentance rather than blaming disability on sin, and reflects on how believers can miss God’s activity, using hindsight, daily reflection, and examples of believing before seeing throughout Scripture.
