This week Mike and Mark dig deeper into the issue of the masks we wear, and examine how we cut ourselves off from authentic relationship with others and from experiencing God’s love in a deep way by wearing those masks.

Mike referenced Greg Boyds book “Repenting of Religion: Turning from Judgment to the Love of God.”

Recorded in the shadow of Canada’s loss to the US in Mens Hockey in round robin play last week, the guys lampoon their ‘Home and Native Land’!

They are excited about a new website they’ve launched called The Ecotone Project.  They invite the listeners to participate by sending in their experiences with Jesus, to be posted on the site.  Eventually they begin a discussion on hiding, and how we often relate to each other and God through masks.  Look for more on hiding and masks next week.

Hooray!  Canada took Gold in Mens Ice Hockey yesterday! Yahoo and phew!

This week Mark and Mike begin delving into the unnerving question about our methods of discipleship, and what we are really producing—or reproducing—while simultaneously addressing the issues that arise when our doctrines begin colliding into our relationship with God.
