Solo E12: Embracing Tradition as Tradition
Thursday Aug 24, 2023

This is also an article! Check it out at https://danielcrogers.substack.com.
So the other day I was thinking about how I would explain to Cayden, my three-year-old, why we don’t use instruments on Sunday morning. Since there is no biblical reason to not use them, I need to have a good reason why. And I think the best answer I can give is that it is just our tradition, a tradition we enjoy and can be proud of.

In this episode, I'll be answering some questions you sent in. I struggle with anxiety and depression, so I haven't posted in a bit. It comes and goes. The highs are really high and the lows are really low.

Solo E9: Old Interpretations Still Affect You
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
Thursday Jun 01, 2023
When you were trained to read the Scripture in a certain way, you were also taught what certain words mean. Even if you change how you read a particular verse, the words in that verse may still be affecting the story you tell yourself about God, yourself, or others. In this episode, Daniel talks about how this works and gives some thoughts on how to deal with it.

Thursday May 18, 2023
The more I think about the title of this podcast, the less I like it. In this episode, I talk about why we should stop pursuing grace. The material here may or may not be from an outline of a project I'm working on... :)

What does it mean to Explore Faith?
Everyone has a belief system. We believe what we believe in large part because of what we've been taught by our parents, grandparents, pastors, and faith leaders.
But what happens when our inherited belief systems no longer serve us? What happens when our faith divides rather than unites, causes strife instead of peace, and brings angst and anxiety in place of freedom and joy?
Kevin Pendergrass and Lee Grant found themselves asking these questions and began the process of exploring their belief systems in search of something better than what had been handed down to them. In their exploration of their faith, they found a God that loves all, whose grace is far bigger than they could have ever imagined.
