"I love you right where you are...and I don't expect anything. I love you, and I won't quit."
"You'll know you've heard the Gospel if one of your first responses is: 'That's too good to be true and I can't believe it yet.'" - Dudley Hall
"It was easier for me to believe it for my son than to believe it for myself." - Nate Larkin
"If...I open the Bible and find condemnation, then I'm still filtering Scripture through the branches of the bush I'm hiding behind in Eden, avoiding what I believe will be the wrath of God in my own shame." - Aaron Porter
In this episode Nate and Aaron have a gospelicious conversation with Dudley Hall about the Good News of the Fatherhood of God. For more on Dudley's ministry, please visit kerygmaventures.com.

"My story isn't my story without the brokenness of who I am."
"It is only in their knowledge of the depth of my need of Jesus that gives them the confidence that I could be a help to them in describing a Jesus that could save them." - Timo Strawbridge
In Episode 315, Nate spoke about a man that he had yet to meet - Timo Strawbridge. If you haven't listened to that episode yet, you might want to give it a listen first. In this episode, Nate and Aaron finally get to connect with Timo and his daughter Kristin about grace, vulnerability, the Rascal Roundup, and the first women's Samson group.
If you are intrigued by the thought of a women's Samson group, you can reach out to theresa@trinitylakeland.org for more information.

"We set out to create a safe church -- not just pockets of safety within the church." - James Reeves
This conversation makes me want to move to DFW so that I can attend this church! Nate and Aaron talk with Pastor James Reeves about his church, City on a Hill in Fort Worth TX, and how it was intentionally created as a safe place for Christians to be real - kind of like Samson Society! He also discusses the Fearless Series for Women, a 5-session video series designed to be a tool for Christian women to get the conversation started about sexual abuse. They are also working on a version for men which will hopefully be coming later this year.
