Paying Ridiculous Attention to Jesus

Join Rick for the eighth episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” Even though Jesus makes the heart and essence of children a major theme of His teaching and His everyday life, His relationship with children has largely been ignored. The heart of children and the questions of children and the dependence of children and the habit patterns of children are the key to living into the Kingdom of God… In this episode we explore why Jesus elevated children as an example to us, and how we can live as children in the real world… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the seventh episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” Let’s ask a big question: WHAT did Jesus come to do? We say, and it’s true, that Jesus came to redeem us. To offer His life in exchange for ours. To give us abundant life and a place in the Kingdom of God that He’s “gone ahead to prepare for us.” All of this is true—and yet, from His own perspective, WHY did Jesus come? What is His passion, purpose, and motivation? We find the answer to that question in the “Why?” of His Father—the most influential person in His life. We know, because Jesus says so… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the sixth episode in the series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of a woman who never actually meets Jesus, but plays a significant role in history because of Him. Noticing what Jesus notices is vital in our relationship with Him. It changes everything. So, what does Jesus find beautiful, and why? Perhaps the best example of noticing the beauty Jesus notices is His observation of the “Mystery Widow” in Mark 12. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the fifth episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of two otherwise obscure men who happened to experience an extraordinary encounter with Jesus on their way home to Emmaus, a small village seven miles from Jerusalem. We know the name of one of these two (Cleopas), but not the other. We traditionally think of these two travelers as male disciples, but Cleopas’ companion is most likely his wife—so let’s call them Mr. & Mrs. Cleopas.

Join Rick for the fourth episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of a broken and traumatized woman who became one of those in Jesus’ inner circle. She’s important to focus on during Holy Week, because she was there at every step—along the Via Dolorosa, on Golgotha, at the tomb when He was buried, and at the tomb when He rose from the dead. Her name is Mary Magdalene. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the third episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of the man who calls himself “The Disciple Jesus Loved.” His name is John, brother of James and son of Zebedee and Salome. In the time of Jesus it’s a common humility to refer to yourself in the third person, but John could’ve tagged himself “the smart one” or “the fast one” or “the loud one.” Instead, he identifies as someone beloved by Jesus. Why? Well, when you’re close to someone, you get “infected” by that person… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the second episode in a new series “JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. In this episode we encounter Nicodemus, who is an old man when he first meets Jesus. He’s a Pharisee and a member of the Sanhedrin, the ancient equivalent to our Supreme Court. He is mentioned just three times in the Gospel of John. But his first meeting with Jesus is under cover of darkness, because Jesus had become quite controversial among the Jewish religious leaders, and it was risky to show any interest in Him. We can learn a lot about Jesus by paying close attention to how he related to this distinguished and wise leader, and how Nicodemus related to Him.

Join Rick for the first episode in a new series—“JESUS-PEOPLE.” We’ll be exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. You can learn a lot about a person by paying attention to the people that love him and the people that hate him. Dr. Peter Kreeft, a Boston University professor and C.S. Lewis scholar, says: “The Greek word used to describe everyone’s reaction to [Jesus] in the Gospels is ‘thauma’—wonder. This was true of his enemies, who killed him. Of his disciples, who worshipped him. And even of agnostics, who went away shaking their heads…” In this episode we’ll explore the heart of Jesus through the lens of His most-famous enemy—Judas.

Join Rick and Becky for this “re-podcast” BEST-OF episode from two years ago—“What Is the Meaning of Life?” In the past three years, this episode had the most listeners. Next week, Rick will begin a new series called “Jesus People”—exploring the heart of Jesus through the lens of his friends and enemies. Meanwhile, in this BEST-OF episode Rick and Becky take on the big question that lurks in the background for all of us: What is the purpose and reason for living? Although we all have different answers to what matters to us, what is our path to a “truly alive” life? We’ll look at how Jesus framed the meaning of life to those he encountered.

Join Rick for the 10th episode of the series KINGDOM COME. We’re coming out of a very active hurricane season, and weather experts warn we’re entering into another in 2021. Hurricanes are frightening because they’re dangerous and destructive. But it turns out that hurricanes keep our planet alive by roiling the waters of our oceans so deeply that their nutrients are widely redistributed, causing rapid growth of the carbon-dioxide-eating phytoplankton and, thus, keeping the Earth from boiling over. In the Kingdom of God, when we experience hurricanes in our life, we find new life. Let’s meet, again, the Hurricane whose name is Jesus… Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the 9th episode of the series KINGDOM COME. Miracles are startling, because they're supposed to be impossible, right? And in this episode I tell a personal story that certainly qualifies as a miracle on every level. But the foundation of this miracle is not in the physical impossibility of what happened, but a revelation during my chance encounter with a man on a beach who reminds me a lot of Jesus... In this episode we explore “Miracles,” and the heart behind them. Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the 8th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. We are magnetically drawn to stories of hope and perseverance. That’s because perseverance is both heart-breaking and inspiring. It’s almost impossible to ignore. So, what are the common threads in all our stories of perseverance? Desperation. Vulnerability. Dependence. But especially “Hope and Fear and Conviction.” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the 7th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. Rick often uses a favorite phrase to describe the mission of Jesus: He came to make beauty out of ugly. Not “pretty”… Beauty. In a very real, practical, visceral way, beauty-making and beauty-revealing is exactly what Jesus is doing in the world, and in your life, right now… We need “beauty-fighters” in this season of ugly… And it’s always been a season of ugly in the world. Will you join? Let’s explore the central quality of Jesus’ heart, infecting the whole Kingdom of God—“Beauty” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!

Join Rick for the 6th episode of the new series KINGDOM COME. The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, whose life we celebrate this week, led during a time of great division and racial tension and disillusionment in the country—like our time today. He’d experienced pain and brutality from others, over and over. But he was much more than a civil rights leader—he was a pastor planting seeds of the Kingdom of God in a fallow soil. He proclaimed: “Forgiveness is not an occasional act; it is a permanent attitude…” It reminds us of what Jesus said about forgiveness—“Seventy-Times-Seven…” Rick’s new daily devotional, the Jesus-Centered Daily, is now available!
