Season 6

Erik DeLange, Ben Shumbusho and Cornerstone CRC in Chilliwack

For the first time in this special series, Chris and Kevin welcome not one, but two guests to the Narthex! Erik DeLange and Ben Shambusho join the conversation and, through the lens of youth ministry, explore what it looks like to be kingdom-minded in their unique ministry contexts. As our Conversation With... series comes to a close, we hope the conversations don't stop here. Keep talking about these ideas with the people around you, and continue seeking together what it looks like to join God in His work.

Steve Berkenpas and Living Hope CRC

Today, Chris and Kevin sit down with former Immanuel member Steve Berkenpas, now serving at Living Hope CRC. As the Conversations With... series continues, they explore the importance of a ministry of presence and what it looks like to do kingdom work faithfully alongside one another. As always, we hope these conversations inspire conversations of your own. Take some time this week to be present with the people God has placed in your life and talk together about where He is at work.

Jenna Fabiano and Willoughby CRC

Today, Chris and Kevin continue the Narthex’s special series Conversations With..., sitting down with Jenna Fabiano from Willoughby CRC. Seminary life, God’s faithfulness over the long haul, and a shared desire to see the church worship God well are all part of today’s conversation. We hope this episode encourages and strengthens you in your own church context, and we encourage you to keep these kinds of conversations going with the people God has placed in your life.

Jason Truell and Ladner CRC

In this third episode of our special series Conversations With..., Chris and Kevin sit down with Jason Truell, Pastor at Ladner CRC. Together they explore the importance of story, hear about Jason’s years of mission work in Asia, and discuss how Ladner CRC is growing in its vision to reach beyond its own walls. We hope this conversation encourages and blesses you in your own church context, and as always, we encourage you to keep having these kinds of conversations with the people God has placed in your life.

Dave Groen and Hope Community CRC

In the Narthex’s second episode of Conversations With..., Chris and Kevin sit down with Dave Groen from Hope Community CRC to talk about kingdom-mindedness in the church, along with the unexpected joys of lugging around baptismal tanks. We hope this conversation encourages and blesses you in your own church context, and as always, we encourage you to keep having these kinds of conversations with the people God has placed in your life.

Dave Vanberkel and Heartland CRC

Thank you for listening to our six-part series, Conversations With.... In this first episode, Chris and Kevin sit down with Dave Vanberkel from Heartland CRC in Chilliwack to talk about how God is moving in and through that community, how Heartland is creatively pursuing new ministry initiatives, and how surprisingly difficult it is to wrestle polar bears. We hope this conversation encourages and blesses you in your own church context, and as always, we encourage you to keep having these kinds of conversations with the people God has placed in your life.

Season 5

The Narthex and a Live Studio Audience!

In this special episode, the guys answer your questions with a live studio (sanctuary) audience. This episode is a celebration of the Narthex releasing 100+ episodes! From AI to Personal Passions join the conversation and keep it going. What do you think?

The Christian Mission

Why does God deserve our worship? What was going on with the Ancient Egyptians and their suspiciously selective historical records? And perhaps most importantly: did the verb “to hound” exist before the dog breed, or did the dogs earn the reputation first? Join Josh, Chris, and Kevin in this penultimate episode of the season as they unpack Sunday’s sermon on Psalm 66, wander into a few unexpected rabbit trails, and somehow still manage to keep the conversation centered on faith, worship, and the goodness of God. As always, keep the conversations about life and faith going with the people around you.

Held and Heard

Join the conversation with Kevin, Joshua, and Chris as they discuss Kevin's sermon from Sunday on Psalm 31. How can we accept God's sovereign rule and pray for things to change? How do we trust in God's plan while asking for the way that plan is working out in our lives to be different? These are the sorts of questions we are asking in the Narthex this week. As always, keep the conversations about life and faith going wherever you are.

GEMS Sunday: Walking on Water

Join Kevin and Josh and they discuss Chris' "GEMS Sunday" Sermon on Matthew 14:22-33. As always, keep these conversations of faith and life going with the people in your life.
