E127 – Baptism – Only Once? 44:55

13d ago44:55

44:55

All will agree that Baptism has a central place in the life of a believer. But what does Baptism actually imply? Can you do it more than once? What about being baptized as an infant and then as an adult? What about taking a once in a lifetime trip to the holy land and being baptized again in the Jordan River? Is that ok? We invite you to let this e…

E126 – Our Call to Witness (Revelation Part 6) 47:08

20d ago47:08

47:08

Witness is more than just sharing the propositional truths of our faith. Witness is a way of life lived in community in a kingdom in which Jesus the Lamb is King.

E125 – Pop Dispensationalism and Revelation (Revelation Part 5) 44:32

27d ago44:32

44:32

The rapture, the millennial reign, and the importance of Israel are all central concepts to a dispensational reading of Revelation. Yet, our series on Revelation hasn’t mentioned any of them. In this episode we talk about the popularization of dispensationalism and its affects on us as we try to study the book of Revelation today. Follow us on: htt…

E124 - What Does Revelation Teach Us About God? (Revelation Part 4) 49:03

1M ago49:03

49:03

It took until episode 4 in this series for us to ask the most fundamental of all questions! In every other book of the Bible, we ask ourselves what the book teaches us about God. Why do we not ask the same question when it comes to the book of Revelation? With Richard Bauckham as our wise guide, we dive into some of the specifics of what the book o…

E123 – Worship and Imagination (Revelation Part 3) 49:16

1M ago49:16

49:16

Imagination is seldom used as a tool for engaging God or the Bible. Yet, it has a significant role to play in both our worship and in our reading of the Bible. Eugene Peterson embodies this reality in all of his writing – perhaps none more so than in his book on Revelation. Come join us as we use Peterson as a jumping off point to discuss Revelatio…

E122 - Symbolism, Structure, and Revelation's Use of the Old Testament (Revelation Part 2) 53:37

2M ago53:37

53:37

Revelation is full of symbolism, which has often led to wild speculation and confident “definitions” of each symbol. How can we make sense of the rich symbolism of this book in a way that is both faithful to the text and helpful to our present lives? Today we’ll look at some of these symbols along with an overview of the book’s structure and Revela…

E121 - Genre and the Lamb (Revelation Part 1) 50:09

2M ago50:09

50:09

Reading Revelation responsibly requires attention to both genre and the central themes of the book. As we begin this 5-part series on the book of Revelation, we use Michael Gorman’s excellent book Reading Revelation Responsibly to dive into these foundational details. We invite you to both join the conversation and the reading. The book of Revelati…

E120 - Fight Like Hell 43:06

2M ago43:06

43:06

From defending Christian values to arguing theology, we Christians sure do a lot of fighting. But what if our ferocity really is fighting like hell would fight? If we were to take our clues from Jesus, how might we fight differently? Come join this crucial conversation as we seek to apprentice ourselves to Jesus in how we respond to those with whom…

E119 - What Happens After You Die? 39:05

2M ago39:05

39:05

The Bible only gives a glimpse into the answer of what happens after we die. With the few pieces of information we can gather, what kind of sense can we make of it? What are the concepts of Scheol or Hades and how might they inform an intermediate state to which we go before the final judgment? We invite you to wrestle with these issues with us and…

E118 - Smells Like Teen Spirituality 44:46

3M ago44:46

44:46

Raising teenagers to love Jesus is a delicate job. Of course, we want our kids to follow Jesus, but how exactly do we go about that? And how to we measure up to all of the expectations around family devotions, prayer, Bible reading, and other spiritual disciplines? And how to we balance these against the developmental needs of our teens who are slo…

E117 - Post-mortem Salvation? 58:19

How do you have a good conversation about a debatable theological idea? What are the guardrails that will help protect the conversation and the wellbeing of those in it?

E115 - Church Business 44:17

3M ago44:17

44:17

Churches may not be a business with a CEO or a CFO, but they are still an organization that needs structure and policies around which to operate. In this episode we talk about the necessity for good practices in the church and how the protect pastors, staff, and attendees alike. We also take a moment to reflect on our Psalms reading for this week. …

E114 - Psalm 110 44:42

3M ago44:42

44:42

Psalm 110 might be one of the linchpin chapters of the entire Bible. It reaches back to foundational texts in Genesis, grounds itself in the Davidic monarchy, and culminates in the personhood of Jesus as described by the author of Hebrews. This is a text screaming for a closer look. We invite you to join us! Download our Summer in the Psalms Readin…

E113 – Virtues and Vices 41:58

4M ago41:58

41:58

The seven deadly sins aren’t really talked about these days. Instead, morality is often boiled down to love, tolerance, and civility. Yet, when we take a deeper look, things like pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony and sloth are just as relevant as they ever were. What would it mean to take these seriously again? Come join us for this convers…

E112 - Practical Praise & The Psalms 38:36

E111 - יהוה צבאות in Psalm 84 50:36

4M ago50:36

50:36

YHWH Sabaoth is featured prominently in Psalm 84, but its warrior image doesn’t seem to fit the overall tone of the Psalm. What’s going on here? In this week’s episode, we venture an alternative take on this and other images from Psalm 84. We invite your comments and feedback as we do! What do you make of this wonderful Psalm?

Is a fresh take on the Good Samaritan story possible? What if we were invited to see this story through the eyes of an often overlooked character? How might this parable be speaking to us today?

E109 - The Beatitudes 41:38

5M ago41:38

41:38

Are the beatitudes meant to be a set of moral imperatives that we should strive for? Or are they somehow a blessing to the “sat upon, spat upon, ratted on”? What does the context of the sermon on the mount teach us about how the beatitudes should be read? Come join the conversation on both the beatitudes and this week’s Psalms reading. Download our…

E108 - Poet, Theologian, Pastor 44:09

5M ago44:09

44:09

In his book Reversed Thunder, Eugene Peterson describes the author of revelation as being a poet, a theologian, and a pastor. In the process he describes what each of these three roles “takes seriously.” For this episode, we want to dive into what it would mean in our lives to take people seriously, to take God seriously, and to take seriously the …

E107 - Finding and Using Your Spiritual Gifts 45:19

5M ago45:19

45:19

Finding your spiritual gifts is not always as easy as taking a 15 minute survey. In fact, sometimes those very assessments can steer us down the wrong path. So how is one to find their spiritual gift? And once found, how are they to know when and how to use it? Come join the conversation and let us know your experience with finding and using your s…

E106 – Does The Church = The Kingdom of God? 49:45

5M ago49:45

49:45

At times the Kingdom of God gets conflated with the local church. Are the two actually one in the same? If not, how should we distinguish between the two? And what role does the local church play once we’ve made the distinction? We invite you to join in the conversation and join in reading the Psalms with us all throughout this Summer! Download our…

E105 – The Rich Young Ruler 49:37

6M ago49:37

49:37

The Rich Young Ruler might be one of the most challenging passages for 21st century Western Christians. It brings up so many uncomfortable questions about wealth and to what degree we should identify ourselves with the rich young ruler. In this episode we wrestle with the relationship between wealth and following Jesus. And then we end on a few tho…

E104 - Resting Stress Rate 47:35

E103 - Psalms 1 & 2 41:10

41:10

Psalms 1 and 2 are said to be a general introduction to the Psalms as a whole. But with very different themes in each, how are we to understand these Psalms? How can we hold together these themes?

Scholarship is one of many facets of the church. But how do we fit these pieces together? Do scholars just help the rest of us become more learned or is there more to it than that?

E96 – The Importance of Struggle 39:46

39:46

It feels a little cruel to let someone struggle. Yet, sometimes we do more harm than good by “helping.” There is a lot of growth to be had in all areas of our lives that can only come through having to struggle through. How might this affect things like parenting, discipleship, counseling, or friendships? Listen in here and then share this episode …

E92 - Unproductive Spirituality 43:59

9M ago43:59

43:59

Spending time with God is not always “productive.” We don’t always have a new thought to share or a new insight to chew on. Instead, sometimes all we have to show for our time is nothing more than minutes in the bank. Is that enough? If so, how can we tell if we’re growing or not? On this episode we explore the boring side of unproductive spiritual…

9M ago43:13

In John 14, Jesus promises that we will do “greater works” than he did. What did he mean by that? How might our own church tradition influence how we read this text?

39:26

When the Bible refers to “the Word of God” is it referring simply to the Bible itself or not? If the Word of God can be understood to be more than the Bible, then what does that mean for our understanding of the Bible itself? And can we get “orthorelationality” to catch on as a new term?

E86 - What Does Christian Mean? 45:07

The word Christian is a little loaded in our society. What do we mean by the word? Does it really strike at the heart of what we want to convey? If not, is there a better word or term to use?

Genesis 1-11 is a unique and often strange section of the Bible. To what genre does it belong? How should we make sense of the long lifespans or the weird god-like beings?

E84 - Is Jesus God? 35:54

Anyone who has ever been asked to pray about a situation has asked themselves some version of the question, “what should I be praying for exactly?” Today, we ask ourselves that very question.
