What if you had a pastor living next door? Not someone with all the answers— but someone willing to sit with your questions. A podcast for the curious, the skeptical, the faithful, and the worn-out.
New episodes coming soon.

It was fun to wrap up our house church gathering and watch the final minute of the Lions game together. Such good times doing life with people I care deeply for.
"God will bring peace whether we choose to join him or not." Jonah 1 opens Enemy Love: God makes peace with or without us. danielmrose.com/2026/10/25/w…
The Brewers and Rays play a style of ball that is like college ball.
Fast.
Using every part of the game.
Fun.
Gosh, I hope this catches on across the league.
"The rules feel safer than freedom. A list can tell us whether we are in or out. Grace asks us to trust a Person." Why we keep asking for a new law instead of receiving grace: danielmrose.com/2026/10/23/p…
"Grace is never only a private transaction between God and me. If I have truly received grace, it will change the way I look at the person in front of me." On counterfeit grace, in the new Beyond Sunday School essay: danielmrose.com/2026/10/23/p…
"I do not know if I could have done what Corrie did. I can hold a grudge over far smaller things." On forgiveness, real grace, and paste jewelry: danielmrose.com/2026/10/23/p…
"There is no past shame that leaves you unworthy to serve Jesus."
On the charcoal fire, Peter's reinstatement, and the love Jesus starts with — "Eyes Forward"

"Shame tells you your past disqualifies you. Jesus says, "I love you — come further up and further in with me.""
The finale of my John series, on moving past shame: "Eyes Forward"

"Wonder is what grace looks like when you're paying attention."
This week's Beyond Sunday School: The Ragamuffin Gospel, chapters 5 & 6 — on wonder and gratitude.

"Children don't blow through it. They want everything to stop. Everybody, stop. Look at this."
When Jesus said become like little children, maybe he meant this too — moving through the world with wonder and awe.

Manning's phrase "the lurking presence of God" — revealed not only in spirit, but in matter. In a deer leaping across a meadow. In Beethoven's Ninth. In a child licking a chocolate ice cream cone.

New Beyond Sunday School: Wonder and Gratitude — on dandelions that become bouquets, why grace should leave you wide-eyed instead of reasonable, and God's will as a football field, not a shoe size.
Grazie, Signore.

They fished all night and caught nothing. Moved the net four feet. Overflowing.
John 21 is John 15 in a fishing boat: apart from me, you can do nothing.
"Lord, I am available to you right here." Breakfast becomes holy.

Happy Easter — in October.
In John 20, grief blinds Mary and fear locks the disciples in. Jesus shows up anyway and says, "Peace be with you."
We believe, and then we begin to see.

Your halo is on too tight. That's why your head hurts.
New Beyond Sunday School: Tilted Halos — Jesus at the table with ragamuffins (and Pharisees), the works-scorecard we all keep, and why nothing can separate you from the love of Christ.
