Is faith about becoming something you're not or about believing in someone else? Jesus didn't score very high on the good Rabbi assessments, so although imitating him is already out of reach, it wouldn't have gotten us very far anyway. There must be something else going on when Jesus said, "follow me." Explore the scandalous news about Jesus with us and reimagine faith in a whole new light.

This episode is an ode to the late Robert Capon on his birthday. Simply put, we'll never be the same after reading Capon's work. He's so astonished at the person of Jesus - his scandalous grace and closeness to us - that his preaching and writing have only begun to shape the life and faith of the church. If you want to be encouraged, and to get 200 proof grace and an unsanitized Jesus, look no further. Raise a glass with us to this modern prophet!…
This blog is all about the absurdities of what we call religion and how everything changes on a dime when you take Jesus at his word. In short, grace is not a result of faith . When you discover sin can't actually separate you from God, a sort of freedom appears that you've never imagined. Dive into this episode to explore The Throes Of Grace!…
This episode consists of a poem - a new element for this blogcast. It is pure revelry in the reality of our union in Christ. But it is also encouragement for the weary and the wounded. Which is all of us, if we admit it. The poem is followed by some interaction between Russ Johnson and Jameson. Enjoy the change up and let us know how you respond to this piece. We'd love to hear from you - and don't forget to leave us a review so others can find our show. Cheers!…
In this final part of the 4 part series called What Must I Do, we take a look at perhaps the most significant reason the answer to the question “What Must I do to inherit eternal life” isn’t what we often think. That reason is, in short, that the incarnation means that in Jesus, we are in the One who is in the Father. Explore more by reading along! www.larksite.com/blog…
This is part 3 of a 4 part series dealing with the biblical question, What must I do to inherit eternal life?" This is arguably one of the biggest questions of all time. Jameson triple's down on his insistence that this question isn't answered in the Bible with a list of to dos or disciplines to practice, but with scandalous grace, which is opposed to effort and earning. Give it a listen and let us know how it hits you. Cheers!…
"What Must I Do" is a series of blog articles observing how scripture answers the question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Apparent common knowledge assumes the obvious answer is improvement, but the answers biblical authors provide throws a heavy duty wrench into the spokes of that idea.

Just about anything but the undiluted Gospel gets the press in religious communities. Without the Goodness that makes the Good News Good, you not only miss out on the Truth, but you miss out on the Life. A misunderstanding of the cross lies at the heart of the matter. Always has. Always will. With a hope to unveil why a non-religious understanding of this act changes everything, we dropped this new article.…
There's always more than meets the eye in Scripture. Reimagine the story of Jesus turning water to wine with us. What if this wasn't a miracle to prove Jesus could do miracles? What it John included this story to proclaim something much more scandalous than just that Jesus can do miracles? What if the empty jars for purification that Jesus filled with wine are a sign of the impotence of religion? READ: www.larksite.com/blog/only-the-lowly-know CONNECT: www.larksite.com/get-connected…
How do you practice union with God? How can we be united to God? What role does religion play in our oneness with God in Christ? Is Christianity a way to achieve union with God? Are we or can we be united with God? How will we be reconciled? Abiding, worship, faith, and discipleship are all radically reoriented when you come to grips with the truth that Jesus is - and has always been - unconditionally our union with God.

Let's combine the Fatherhood of God and Jesus' idea of childlike faith. What might it mean that Jesus held up playful, vulnerable little people as exemplars of faith? What does the life of faith look like if we've thought all along that we're supposed to progressively get more mature, independent, responsible, and effective? What if being a child of God is something we accept instead of do? www.larksite.com/get-connected www.larksite.com/blog/the-fathers-children…
In a nation where workaholism is arguably the most prevalent religion, figuring out how to live and work in peace as one who has assurance of God's love is a real trick. But, letting go of some of the urgency and ultimacy of our work opens up the opportunity to see the people we're working with and for. Perspective is everything. Unfortunately, Americans are prone to turn their work into a self-justifying story and we hope to bring some freedom into the conversation.

If you've ever wondered what it means to do Christian community or to follow Jesus with other people, you're not alone. Confusion and opinions abound, but what I've found in a decade of ministry in Chicago is you can learn a lot by observing what's missing. There's a big difference between treating community as a duty and a means to an end versus a gift and a celebration. Press into the difference in this episode! In an effort to explore the scandalous grace of God in every day life, these articles seek to bring helpful conversations and encouragement to you wherever you are. www.larksite.com/blog/enjoying-the-faithfulness-of-god www.larksite.com/get-connected…
Jameson is the newest member of the Lark team. As the Director of Community Development, he moved his family into a camper to do life on the road tending to the connection and encouragement of folks who are following or exploring Jesus with Lark. Check out his story about why he lives in a camper and why he works on the road with people who are rethinking various spiritualities. There are lot of themes and trends he was suspicious about before hitting the road that now are becoming even clearer and more significant than thought. Be encouraged by the story of the Allen family adventure and get a glimpse of what a nomadic chaplaincy might look like!…
Discouragement, depression, despair, and even despondence plague people everywhere in a myriad of ways. Although the difficulties of life never seem to end, the Good News of Jesus has something to say. If you're feeling the darkness, listen in here for some encouragement. The perspective on life that we are able to live with when we are reminded constantly of just how good and great God's love is doesn't necessarily make the bad go away, but it does help us to trust that there is more. If God has promised that his love never fails, then we can go all in on that while we walk through this life. We all need encouragement now more than ever.

Who God turns out to be surprises us and catches us off guard every time we think about it. His coming to dwell with and in his creation turns our idea of hospitality on its head. We just about never expect to find him in and with us, and this is why we seem intent on searching for our home elsewhere and otherwise. If you or anyone you know is asking the question, "who is God"? or "what is God really like?" then check out this short blog to explore that with us. There's so much good news to be found when we look at Jesus in the Scriptures and begin to feel the freedom to question some of the things we've been told. www.larksite.com/blog/the-god-no-one-sees-coming Join the conversation with Lark: www.larksite.com/get-connected…
Stories and explanations of grace are as vast as there are books on the topic. Contrary to many versions of this story, grace isn't about second chances or simply the forgiveness of sins. It's about something so absurd that we tend to balk at it. Grace really is amazing. Check out this episode to take a fresh look at what is so ridiculous about grace that makes Christians and Churches afraid to say it.

Redefining faith in terms of sitting down helps us see that faith is not understanding. A life of faith is learning to trust, not to strive. Russ unpacks this idea in this piece and helps us reimagine faith in light of ordinary life instead of fear and confusion. Unfortunately, many of us have been taught or handed a "faith" that is actually more like a religion - something that you do in order to be included. The reality is that faith is a gift based upon the inclusion we already have in the incarnate, crucified and resurrected body of Christ!

The idea that we can and should "live out the gospel" is one I think may actually be causing a great deal of confusion and anxiety. Consider the thought that there's a better way. Listen in and see what you think. Sometimes the most obvious and most loved sayings end up being the sneakiest ones. They are right under our noses undermining the very thing we hope they mean to accomplish. You can't "Live Out The Gospel" because the Gospel is a person who has done something that cannot be undone and which has changed you and the world around you forever.

It is easy to assume we know what we think we already know about the Gospel. But when pressed, we may be surprised to find that our assumptions aren't actually rooted in what Jesus actually said and did. We need safe places to wrestle with questions like this, like this blog.

It is far too easy to miss the entire point of the story about the Good Samaritan that Jesus tells in response to a Lawyer's testing questions. When you let the author, Luke, tell his story, the Good Samaritan actually ends up meaning the opposite of what most of us have been taught! In this episode, you'll hear Jameson unpack how we get the Good Samaritan story wrong and what it might look like to reimagine the parable within the flow of Luke's Gospel story book.

What it is about guilt that keeps us from managing it well, or better yet, from letting Christ have the final word on managing it? The danger of what we do with our guilt may just be one of the most important conversations you haven't had in a while. The freedom we have in Christ has more to say about what we do with guilt than we dare imagine or believe. Tune into this episode to dive into the conversation about why and how we are killing ourselves by self-managing our guilt and what to do about it. www.larksite.com/blog/guilt-management-systems-failure www.larksite.com/get-connected…
It takes some form of bravery to admit that everything you have to offer God is viewed by him as dirty rags in comparison to what Jesus has done. The Christmas story declares that none of your efforts mattered in the first place. Life flows out of Jesus and who he made us to be, not who we think we can make ourselves to be. The Incarnation of God undoes every intuition we have to set us free. The God who came to do what was unfair to reconcile us to him is the God who longed for us to be free from fear. He saw our fear of a version of him that doesn't exist and had compassion. Unafraid of what we'd do with grace, he showed up in our likeness so that we could finally see ourselves the way he does, unafraid of who we are. www.larksite.com/blog/god-with-us-raggedy-rags www.larksite.com/get-connected Raggedy Rags Video…
One of the most difficult things to believe is that God's posture towards us is one of embrace. We typically believe anything but. We especially believe that 'God With Us' is possible only upon our ability to meet some criteria. But the incarnation, the arrival of God as a man in Jesus Christ, is the Father's embrace of all of us. It is the way we finally learn to see what God is really like. If Emmanuel, 'God With Us,' is the solution, what exactly is the problem? What is Advent and Christmas really all about? Check out this episode to explore how scandalous the Incarnation of God in Jesus really is. Did he come to change God's mind about us? To convince God to spare us? Or did he come to change us and our perception of God? www.larksite.com/blog/god-with-us-fathers-embrace www.larksite.com/get-connected Father's Embrace Video…
It's easy to think the Christian story about Jesus is full of sermons, commands, theological teaching and Scripture. But, a simple reading of the Gospels reveals that so much of Jesus' recorded speech is cryptic stories we refer to as parables. God With Us, the Incarnate Son and Word of God, lived a remarkable, unexpected story, and told so many stories so we could see what God is really like. When we assume the New Testament provides us with information about Jesus instead of a story about God -which he allows his people to tell - we misread it. We misapprehend it. This is no small thing. There's Good News in letting the story be a story, in letting Jesus be the storyteller that he was. Dive in to be encouraged as we move closer to the heart of the holiday season where there's so much vying for our affection, attention and affirmation.

What really are the implications of God With Us, Immanuel, the God who has come to be with his creation? What is the Incarnation and does it actually have any impact on me, my life, how I live, and what I hope for? In short, the incarnation is the supreme mystery of the faith for those who follow Jesus. Be encouraged by this brief excursus on the theme of Advent and Christmas - Christ has come! Our familiarity and obsession with the secular season of Christmas leaves many with an anemic understanding of how to remember the birth of Christ, or what it is we're remembering. The idea that Advent is about candles, love, joy, hope and peace can actually be a distraction and a discouragement. There is so much more going on, and we invite you to explore that with us over the next 4 weeks as we press in on the arrival of God in a human body.

With all the swirling thanksgiving emails, tweets, reels, Hallmark cards, and sermons, you'd think if we don't give thanks rightly, we will be putting ourselves in the crosshairs of God's judgment. But what if giving thanks isn't about giving thanks, but about reveling in and enjoying the gift we've received? We love holding things over our heads. But, that's something we can be freed from. Check out my thoughts on how we get thanksgiving wrong and end up nullifying the very thing we're thankful for. In an effort to show we're really serious, we instead show that we're seriously mistaken about how to receive the gift of life in Christ in good faith. Good News for me, you and everyone else. Happy Thanksgiving! www.larksite.com/get-connected www.larksite.com/blog/improper-thanksgiving…
Lark stories help illustrate why we are so adamant about spreading the message of the cross. Check out this one to hear about how one friend never saw a pastor cry until he told me about his story and experience in Churches. There's something so beautiful and powerful about sharing and listening to the long version of someone's story, even more so when you tell them about the love of God. It is worth noting that this isn't the only person who's never had the experience of crying with a pastor. Sadly, lots of people have only ever experienced pastors as leaders, motivators, accountability regulators, and even bringers of expectations. What can we learn from observing these realities in such a time as this where pastors and attenders alike are abandoning traditional versions of church at a higher rate than ever? www.larksite.com/blog/never-seen-a-pastor-cry Travis' Story www.larksite.com/get-connected…
The story of how the Church dealt with Galileo is an important point of conversation for today's Church. Have we learned at all from how that story played out? Have we given up on getting it right or have we just changed the furniture around? What exactly does it mean to be the Church, and who get's to decide who's doing it right? Dive into this and more on this episode of the Lark Blogcast. The fact that we - the Church - still have practices and policies in place to help us exclude certain people for certain reasons shows that we still think that some of the reconciling work of Christ has been left undone. We somehow exist with a sort of cognitive dissonance between how Christ came to forgive all sin, yet we persist in excommunicating, expelling and excluding certain sinners and certain sins. Let's explore what we haven't yet learned from the way the Church sentenced Galileo, who was later found and proven to be right! www.larksite.com/get-connected www.larksite.com/blog/jesus-galileo-and-giving-thanks…
The question of how do we live now that we believe God has redeemed us is a troubling one. Many of us live and die in anxiety about whether or not we did it right. But what if the life of faith is expressly opposed to the life of getting God to love us? What if the call is to trust God, not to live as if we owe him? What if we were to give up the conquest of sin to be an heir with Christ? Explore how we can so easily slip back into the way of beating sin instead of resting in the cross. Reconsider what exactly God has called and freed you to do. What is the goal of all of this? What is the necessary end of your way of life? Is there another way to relate to God and the world based on what Jesus has done and promised? Let's dive in! We welcome you questions, push-backs, and clarifications. Reach out to us online!

Words of encouragement are far more scarce than we usually recognize. Learning about how the human being's brain responds to both the absence and the presence of encouragement opens up another level of understanding about the power of speaking the Gospel about Jesus and words of encouragement and affirmation to someone's face. We need it. But, first we must recognize our inclination to avoid it. There's a wild connection between neuroscience, emotions and the speaking and hearing of the Good News. Not to mention, the sharing of encouragement and affirmation that is steeped in the Good News. Check out this short piece to explore how saying and hearing the Gospel about Jesus can physiologically change lives. www.larksite.com/blog/words-change-matter www.larksite.com/get-connected…
What it means to actually believe the gospel is actually one of the greatest confusions within the church. But, according to Jesus, it's a lot more like trust than trying. The interaction between Jesus and the Samaritan woman at the well shows us so much about what Jesus thinks people need. Instead of religion repairs, Jesus moves in for a few days and says he himself is all they need. If believing the gospel looks more like helping Jesus do what he already did, it's not faith we're living in. We're invited to rely completely, 100% risk, on something Jesus already did. And, although it requires us to be honest about our utter inability to be sufficient, it is the breaking of chains and the liberation of the enslaved. Read or listen to this blog to dive in to some clarifications about how to believe the Gospel. www.larksite.com/blog/believing-the-gospel www.larksite.com/get-connected…
What exactly does it mean to be like Christ? To grow in Christlikeness? Who causes it and how does it happen? What exactly is it we turn into if we are transformed? Jesus didn't set up an impossible life we have to live. He invited us into his life so we could share in his righteousness, holiness, and his trust in the Father - the one thing we resemble the least about Christ. It's God's work! It's helpful to take a closer look at what we mean when we say Christlikeness these days. So many of the things we say and much of what we think is formed less by what Jesus said than by what interpreters of Jesus say. Take a few minutes to think about this with us and be encouraged as you're going. You're invited to ask questions and explore further with us however you feel comfortable.

Transformation can be a tricky subject for the Church. It often shows up not as the blessed aftermath of getting wrecked by grace, but as the strategy instead. If you've ever felt like you're supposed to prove that you've received grace by demonstrating transformation, this short piece is for you. Consider how striving for transformation actually derails the one thing Christians are called to: proclamation. When proclamation of good news is eclipsed by demands for transformation, people lose sight of life, grace and freedom even though they use Jesus to back up their position.

The doubts and questions we all come by honestly are all too often dismissed or demonized by other people. Unfortunately, belonging is also often intimately connected with whether or not you agree with everyone else's answers to your questions. Looking deeper, we see that insecurity, or the frenetic search for security, is closer to the root of division and strife wherever you go. What if doubts and questions aren't keeping you out of God's favor, but are actually the pathway to peace? Jump into this episode to explore how God's scandalous grace doesn't require us to have all the answers, but accomplishes the restoration we're desperate for by exposing the false god's we no longer need to bow to. www.larksite.com/blog/do-doubts-and-questions-disqualify Join the conversation with Lark: www.larksite.com/get-connected…
More than any other moment in history, today independence is hailed as the ultimate goal of humanity. Independence is seen as the epitome of freedom. But in light of what Jesus said and did, we learn freedom is actually in dependence. We can't not be dependent. To live as if we can ever actually be independent is to choose frustration, bondage, and separation (independence) from life itself. While being dependent on anyone or anything outside yourself is seen as weakness by many people, the actual absurdity is the idea of independence. So trying to achieve more and more independence really only ends up causing you to live less. Seems confusing at first, but it's really at the core of everything wrong in the world. It's the heart of sin, brokenness and division. Check out this episode as we briefly unpack this idea. www.larksite.com/blog/freedom-is-in-dependence-not-independence Join the conversation with Lark: www.larksite.com/get-connected…
