Connecting Across: Abilities - Ken WetmoreEach of us has been created uniquely. That means we all have different abilities. When abilities differ from the norm, exclusion can happen intentionally and, more often, unintentionally. As Christians, we are called to remove barriers and value each person just as they were created. So, let’s talk about connecting with those who have abilities that are not typical.Let us know your thoughts by reaching out and joining the conversation with your questions and comments using the information below:Text/Voicemail:  407-965-1607Email:  podcast@wholelife.church#ThisIsWholeLifeSUBSCRIBE NOW to our weekly companion podcast, Speaking of Grace, to listen to the message this episode is based on and where our pastors and guest speakers invite you into a lifelong friendship with God.

Connecting Across: Religious Beliefs - Ken WetmoreReligion is known for dividing. Whether it is Christians vs. Muslims or Catholics vs. Protestants, there is a strong tendency to not connect with people who do not share our beliefs about God. Is it possible to connect with another person who holds religious beliefs that conflict with our beliefs? Is that even what God wants? Making the connection across religious beliefs isn’t about winning an argument; it’s about loving another human being created in God’s image, just like us.Let us know your thoughts by reaching out and joining the conversation with your questions and comments using the information below:Text/Voicemail:  407-965-1607Email:  podcast@wholelife.church#ThisIsWholeLifeSUBSCRIBE NOW to our weekly companion podcast, Speaking of Grace, to listen to the message this episode is based on and where our pastors and guest speakers invite you into a lifelong friendship with God.

Connecting Across: Hurt - Justin SchleuterIt can feel impossible to connect with someone who has hurt us. Does God want us to connect with people who have hurt us, people who are still hurting us? Christians struggle with the answer to these questions because the answers aren’t easy.

Connecting Across: Cultures - Freud BrazCulture is the way a collective group of people have decided to do life. As anyone who has traveled extensively knows, there are a lot of different ways to do life. At WholeLife we have a lot of different cultures represented. Ideas about what is good food, what is good music, and even what is good Theology are influenced by the culture we were raised in. It can be easy to only connect with people who share the same culture, but our lives are enriched when we deliberately choose the discomfort and connect with people from cultures different from our own.Let us know your thoughts by reaching out and joining the conversation with your questions and comments using the information below:Text/Voicemail:  407-965-1607Email:  podcast@wholelife.church#ThisIsWholeLifeSUBSCRIBE NOW to our weekly companion podcast, Speaking of Grace, to listen to the message this episode is based on and where our pastors and guest speakers invite you into a lifelong friendship with God.

Connecting Across: Socioeconomic Differences - Ken WetmoreSocial class and income keep people apart. Whether it’s jealousy or condescension, we often have a hard time connecting with people who aren’t in the same social and economic class. Jesus seemed to move easily between a wide variety of socioeconomic classes, and the New Testament Church was known for being one body.

In The Wrong Place at the Wrong Time - Andreas BeccaiThere are times in our lives when we wonder if we're in the wrong place.
