5 days ago
In this episode of the podcast we have Gabe Cleave heading up a conversation with Christian Putman, Sam Meredith, and Titus Leger about what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness. What does that look like in our lives on a day to day basis?
We all have full lives, we all may be busy, but are they filled with the things that Jesus wants to put in our lives? He wants to fill us with His Holy Spirit, with purpose and passion and vision and direction. When we are seeking Jesus first we will be hungering for the things that only He can fill in us.

Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
Tuesday Jun 25, 2024
This week Blake Whiteman leads the discussion with Bill Krause, Wayne Burnham, and Sam Meredith as they cover the paradox of meekness, or humility, in God's Kingdom vs what it means in the world we live in. The God we serve is by nature humble, and at the same time holds all of the power and the authority in the universe.

Paradox: Week Three - Those Who Mourn
Tuesday Jun 18, 2024
Tuesday Jun 18, 2024
In this weeks podcast, Craig Miles, Christian Putman, Gabe Cleave and Chris Short reflect on Jesus' statement, "Blessed are those who mourn," suggesting that mourning and joy are not mutually exclusive. They explore the idea that our understanding of mourning might be incomplete, and that through mourning, we can find reasons to be thankful and experience God's faithfulness. They also emphasizes the difference between human and divine perspectives, noting that God’s ways and thoughts are higher than ours. The comfort from God, though not always comfortable, allows us to comfort others in their trials. Mourning arises from the brokenness of the world, yet in our deepest sorrows, God's presence becomes most evident. They discuss the importance of community, empathy, and supporting each other through difficult times, encouraging genuine relationships within the church to help carry each other's burdens.
Here are some other things they touch on:
- Jesus' statement "Blessed are those who mourn" suggests a deeper meaning to mourning and joy.
- Mourning and joy are not mutually exclusive; one can be thankful in and for difficult circumstances.
- God's faithfulness and the growth experienced through mourning.
- Our perspective differs from God's perspective; God sees the whole picture.
- Comfort from God isn't always comfortable, but it helps us comfort others.
- Mourning arises from the world's brokenness due to sin; creation awaits God's reconciliation.
- Deep mourning can lead to profound experiences of God's presence and faithfulness.
- Genuine community and relationships within the church are crucial for supporting each other.
- Empathy involves walking alongside those who mourn, allowing them to fully express their emotions before moving forward.

Paradox: Week One - The Beatitudes
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
Tuesday Jun 04, 2024
In this episode of the podcast Jim Putman, Blake Whiteman and Titus Leger come together to discuss the first week of our new series, "Paradox," where we delve into the profound teachings of the Beatitudes.
They talk about the fact that as we navigate through the summer, it's easy to get caught up in the distractions of our routines, the media noise, and the political fervor of the coming fall.
These factors can easily derail us if we don't intentionally abide in God. In a culture where storms are inevitable, the crucial question is whether our foundation is firm enough to withstand them.

Strength and Dignity: Week Three - The Story of Deborah
Wednesday May 29, 2024
Wednesday May 29, 2024
-
Christian progressives tend to believe that as time goes by the Holy Spirt will lead us to new understanding and a new trajectory of truth.
-
The New Testament is clear that we are not to add or take anything from the scripture
-
There are boundaries laid out in the Bible about sex and gender - we have equal value but we complement each other.
-
At Real Life Ministries, we teach from a complementarianism view of men and women's roles, not an egalitarianism one.
-
All of us, as followers of Jesus, are to submit to one another - we need to focus more on posture, not position.

Wednesday May 22, 2024
Are we truly willing to surrender everything to God, even at great personal cost? Hannah's story, marked by profound anguish over her longing for a child, prompts us to examine the posture with which we approach the Lord: do we come with open hands, ready to let go, or do we cling tightly to our desires? In this episode of The Overtime Podcast, Jim Putman joins with Blake Whiteman, Gabe Cleave, and Titus Leger to talk about the life of Hannah and how God used her to model an illustration of strength and dignity that we can still learn from today.

Stand Firm: Week Five
Tuesday May 07, 2024
Tuesday May 07, 2024
In this episode of the Overtime Podcast, Jim Putman is joined by Blake Whiteman and Bill Krause as they close out the Stand Firm series by addressing the topic of End Times from the perspective of the books of 1st and 2nd Thessalonians.
Some of the things they address:
- The priority of the mission of Christ over doctrinal disagreements on the end times.
- They reference biblical passages emphasizing God's patience and timing regarding the end times.
- Recognizing of the danger in alienating others from Christ through divisive attitudes on eschatology.
- The lack of detailed timing in biblical prophecy and God's intentional withholding of information.
- The importance of living in alignment with God's will despite uncertainty about future events.
- Speculation about God's intentional vagueness in prophecy to confound the devil's plans.
- Confidence in God's sovereignty and ultimate victory, regardless of apparent setbacks.
- Reminder to trust in God's wisdom and follow His commands, even when outcomes seem unclear.
We need to shift our focus away from fixating on the intricate details of future events and instead embrace the message of hope and salvation offered by Jesus. Today is the day for salvation; let's use our voices to share this hope with others.
While we may not know the exact timing of future events, we can live confidently in God's sovereignty and reach out to those who are hurting or seeking. Let's be known for our hope and assurance in Christ, even amidst the challenges of the world.
As we close this series, may we stand firm, comfort the brokenhearted, and encourage one another. Let's be willing to endure suffering for the sake of pointing others to the eternal hope found in Jesus. God bless you, and see you next time on The Overtime Podcast.
