Redemption's Table with Robert Barge

Redemption's Table with Robert Barge

Redemption's Table

Welcome to Redemption’s Table – a fresh ingredient podcast. Every week I will sit down to this table with a Special Guest, share a restaurant meal or cup of coffee or an ice cream cone, and engage in a recorded podcast conversation, on site, with redemption as the main course. You’re invited to join in on this flavorful adventure that will accentuate the reality of redemption in the lives of everyday people like you and me. A reality that, I believe, finds its ultimate expression in Jesus of Nazareth, Who is the “not-so-secret ingredient” to the redemption we all seek.

  • 162 - Ranger Pete of the Yellowstone

    I first met Peter Scott when I walked into his place of business in Montgomery Alabama almost 10 years ago. His office wall was filled with photographs he had taken from Yellowstone National Park.  We struck up a conversation and became fast friends.  

     

    Pete worked in Yellowstone back during his college days.  He has since visited our first National Park multiple times and spent decades studying this incredibly diverse place.  Now, Ranger Pete is quick to tell you he's not an actual Park Ranger, but he does have intimate, first-hand knowledge of Yellowstone and he loves sharing the wonder he has found in this very special place where our creator God has some spectacular artwork on display.

     

    Pete and I both spent time in Yellowstone this fall on separate trips.  And it's an honor to bring him to this wild conversation recorded live at El Taco Shop Restaurant in Montgomery.  Pete had the Pollo Loco and I had the best Sincronizada I've ever tasted.

  • 161 - The 3-Day Effect

    There's a phenomenon that takes place within us when we spend three days in the great outdoors.  It's called "the 3-day effect."  Three days in nature can reset our brains.  And after those three days, our ability to problem solve goes up, our inductive reasoning goes up, and we become more creative.  When we step out of life as we know it and into life as we were meant to live it, it changes us.  And whenever I vacation in the wilderness, I always know when "the 3-day effect" kicks in.  It's that noticeable.  

     

    Last month I spent eight days in Yellowstone National Park.  "The 3-Day Effect" prompted me to write the following entry in my journal:

                "Dying is a hard process.

                Staying dead is a hard process.

                And when the third day comes, you don't will yourself back to life.

                Only the resurrection can do that."

  • 160 - My One Thing

    "Everybody I know says they need just one thing

     And what they really mean is they need just one thing more." - Rich Mullins.

     

    Everyone has a life song.  Or if you're like me, you have dozens of life songs.  But through the years, one seems to keep rising to the top.  Rich Mullins' My One Thing is that song for me.  It's a song about Jesus - my one thing.

     

    Who or what is your one thing?  The one thing that sets the table for all the other things in your life.  That's today's big question on this special fall Table that is all about my favorite person who has ever lived.  If Jesus is not yet your favorite person, I encourage you to give a listen to discover why He might should be.

     

    Today's episode is dedicated to the First Baptist Church of Warner Robins Youth Group - 1986-1992.

  • 159 - A Confluence in the the Desert

    Confluence.  A place where two or more rivers or streams merge together.  Confluences fill me with wonder.  I want to journey upstream to find the headwaters of every tributary.  A confluence is kind of like a reversed fork in the road made of water.  Wherever you are right now is a confluence.

     

    Think back over your summer.  What were your favorite tables and favorite moments?  What has God been trying to whisper to your spirit these past three months?  Perhaps you heard it, but maybe you didn't.

     

    Perhaps your current confluence looks more like a desert.  Perhaps you have run aground because life has become spiritually dry.  Take heart.  There is water to be found in your desert.  You only need know where to look.

  • 158 - Presuming To Be Holy Spirit

    The Holy Trinity is a wondrous mystery.  You know the certainty of the Truth of it - and yet, it blows your mind.  Absolutely amazing how Truth and Wonder come together in the glorious reality of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

     

    But there is also an unholy trinity that lurks beneath the surface of enough churches and denominations, it needs to be recognized for what it is - the unholy threesome of God the Father, Jesus the Son, and Religion. Because Holy Spirit has often been tossed because He cannot be controlled and replaced by a more reasonable idol we can control - our Religion.

     

    Have you ever presumed to be Holy Spirit in someone else's life?  Have you ever presumed to be Holy Spirit while following His lead?
