The Latest Episodes

The Resilient Community

episode 39. December 20, 2008
It's almost day 7 and Pastor Dion slips one in under the wire, just hours before his final weekend at St. Matthew. This episode is not pretty, it doesn't sound the greatest, it's hasty, unpolished...and yet you should absolutely have a listen anyway. Why do some communities hit opposition and blow through it? Why do others hit a snag and fall apart? Dion scratches his head on this one and comes up with something half worthwhile. It's the second to last episode of The Six. Listen to it!

Do You Know Where You're Going

episode 33. October 21, 2008

Self Feeders

episode 32. October 14, 2008
A special edition of The Six airs this week, which will include a whole new listening audience (you'll have to listen to find out about it).

The Big Show

episode 29. September 9, 2008

Inspiration

episode 28. September 2, 2008
This week Pastor Dion ventures into a much lighter topic... Inspiration. Find out how inspiring you are with the two-question "The Six Podcast" quiz. Strangely enough, conspicuously absent from this week's episode is any falsetto-voice singing of the Chicago song by a similar name... how'd he miss that one?

The Suburban Darkside

episode 27. August 26, 2008
What ARE the dark sides of suburbia and how do we take steps to venture into those places in the Name of Christ? Pastor Dion begins scratching the surface of that question in this week's "longer than usual" episode of The Six. Don't worry though, it's sure to be riveting!

Up in Your Hood

What kinds of opportunities can our church work on to best help you grow into the missional life?

Strategic Consumerism

episode 23. July 22. 2008

Interpreting the Times Part 2

episode 22. July 14, 2008
