In the final week of our Spaces series, Sam Schubkegel steps into the host chair for the first time, joined by Amelia Rhodes and first-time guest Nancy Erickson. Nancy holds a PhD in Hebrew Bible and the Ancient Near East, is an editor at Zondervan Academic, and has been a longtime resource for our teaching pastors. She shares how living and traveling in Israel has brought Scripture to life for her, and walks us through what archaeologists are uncovering right now around the Temple Mount and the City of David. Together, the team talks about how God designed sacred spaces like the tabernacle and the temple, yet he can’t be contained by any building. Through Jesus, his people are now his temple. Sam and Amelia close with this week’s focus on holiness and the Greek word hagios, meaning “set apart.” Beyond the Weekend will take a week off and return on November 4 with the start of the Discipleship Journey series.

In this episode of the Beyond the Weekend Podcast, Amelia Rhodes and Sam Schubkegel welcome Stephen Lewis, our Executive Director of Ministries and Missions, to talk about the Sea and the fears that leave us feeling out of control. Stephen shares a storm story from the Sea of Galilee, plus the history of the first-century “Jesus boat” and the Sea Peoples. Together they talk about how fear shapes us and what it looks like to parent from trust instead of fear. They also unpack why Jesus told one person to “go and tell” and another to “tell no one,” and how we can become safe people who receive others’ stories well. Wherever you are in the storm, this conversation is a reminder that Jesus is bigger than our greatest fears.
