New episode today! Be honest, in reality, do we walk by faith or by sight? And how much stronger might our faith be if we didn’t handicap it with sight and senses? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/a-w-pink-whos-in-charge-depends-on-our-w

New episode! In reading through Luke 1:57-66 we think about our “Would Haves,” and our “Should Haves.” Reflecting back, was God faith either way? (Spoiler: yes He was) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-read-think-pray
Running a bit late this week but a new episode is out! Do you know just how weird you (and I) are? Are you aware of your own historical strangeness and how non-normal your life really is? Andrew Wilson encourages us to contemplate this fact in his bo

New episode today! We’re back in Luke chapter 1 exploring the idea of Elizabeth being the “prototype of the Spirit-filled life.” And I’d love to hear your reflections on a painting that illustrates Luke 1:39-45. It’s ti

About the host…

I’m the host, John Barringer, and I live in Jacksonville, FL with my family. My wife is Dani and my three girls are London, Eden, and Brooklyn. I am a pastor at The Church of Eleven22 and I love Jesus Christ and the testimony of the Scriptures that tell his redemptive story. I love to read and think; specifcially about Church history, theology, philosophy, and leadership. I’ve had the idea to incorporate those into a podcast for a while now, so we’ll see how it goes! I also love the outdoors, to go running, and spending time with my girls.

The woman is wearing a black shirt with colorful design and a black cap, while the girls are dressed casually. They appear to be happy, in a casual indoor setting.
