Initial Insights is a weekly conversation from Lake Grove Presbyterian Church. Pastors, staff, and guests gather for an informal discussion of the Bible passage that will be preached and taught the following Sunday. Together, we share first impressions, ask questions, explore the context of the passage, and listen for what God may be saying through Scripture. These conversations help us begin shaping our sermons and invite our church family to start reflecting on the text before we gather for worship. Come open the Word with us and discover your own initial insights for the week ahead.Greg Allen-Pickett Christianity Spirituality

    Sit down with Greg and Susan as they discuss Joshua's "farewell speech" in Joshua 24.

    What does the famous passage "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord" mean in its context when Joshua said it 2500 years ago, and what does it mean today? (And why can we find it on home decor in Fred Meyer?)

    How does this farewell passage resemble a church liturgy and why does Joshua recount the whole history of God's people? Susan and Greg tackle the big questions in this podcast episode.
