About Finding Our Way

Finding Our Way is a casual Christian theology show carried by James and Larry's easy conversational rhythm. It does not rush toward polished answers. Instead, it circles scripture until a phrase starts to open up. One minute the conversation is about driving, hunting, birthdays, or a truck getting pushed too hard. The next, it is working through 2 Corinthians, Colossians, John, Moses, judgment, incarnation, and new creation. That loose shape is part of the appeal. The show sounds like two friends thinking aloud through beliefs they inherited and beliefs they are learning to see differently. A recurring contrast runs through the episodes: old covenant fear, distance, and rule-keeping on one side; Jesus, reconciliation, union, and grace on the other. James and Larry repeatedly question the idea that God is mainly waiting to expose failure. They are much more interested in a Father who looks for what is true, beloved, and alive in people. The cross becomes, in their reading, not proof of divine anger but the deepest revelation of love. They talk about all humanity being held in Christ, about one new humanity, and about waking up to what is already real. The show can be repetitive in the best sense. It worries the same gospel claims from several angles. It also leaves the shape of conversation intact, including jokes, hesitations, translation checks, and quick detours. The result is warm, searching, and plainly shaped by church life. It will suit listeners who want grace-centered Christianity in ordinary language rather than academic commentary or a tightly produced devotional format.

Made for: Finding Our Way is for Christians drawn to grace-centered readings of scripture, especially listeners rethinking fear-based teaching about God, judgment, and separation. It suits people who like conversational theology more than formal preaching.

What sets it apart: The show's strength is its lived-in, two-voice process: James and Larry do not simply state a doctrine, they talk their way toward it. Everyday stories, repeated agreement, and close attention to scripture make the theology feel discovered rather than packaged.

Best episodes of Finding Our Way

Short reviews from the PlayNext desk, based on the episodes we processed.

One New Race EP96

A warm case for enemy-love, reconciliation, and one new humanity in Christ.

God's Good Purpose EP82

A warm, loose conversation about goodness over fear.

Finding Our Way keeps circling a plain message: God is good, God is love, and that goodness leads to repentance. James and Larry move through baptism, belovedness, the incarnation, and the contrast with a religion shaped more by fear.

The Crowned King EP81

A warm, scripture-led conversation about reconciliation, kingdom purpose, and repentance.

James and Larry keep the focus on God’s goodness, God’s love, and Jesus as reconciliation rather than condemnation. Their back-and-forth uses the language of nations, inheritance, and metanoia without turning the talk stiff or academic, so the theology stays plain and…

Welcome To The New You EP97

Warm, meandering teaching on Christ, reconciliation, and how the kingdom reshapes ordinary life.

This episode keeps circling one claim: Christ is everything, and the usual markers of rank, money, education, ethnicity, and background do not carry weight in that kingdom vision.
