• Why did Jesus have to die?

    To the everyday observer, having the leader of a religious movement get killed by the government should put a stop to the spread of that movement. But it wasn’t so with Jesus. Jesus’ death on the cross paved the way for his message to spread over the entire world, and in the end, be the ultimate hope for humanity. Do you have questions for us?

  • What did Paul really say about…?

    Paul says a lot of difficult things in his writings to the various churches. When we come across these difficult passages, it can often be easier to dismiss them altogether, but then we run the risk of dismissing the bible completely. In today’s episode we put some context behind some of these difficult passages, and offer ways of dealing with and thinking about things in the bible we don’t agree with on the surface.

  • What did Paul really say about…? (continued)

    We dig further into the writings of Paul and his letters to the churches. What does Paul say about things like grace, the law, and condemnation? Paul walks a fine line and at times seems to contradict himself, but when we read a little more carefully, it’s finding the balance in our faith to know where our motives are as we live out our faith.

  • What does it take to start a church?

    The bible lays out the ideas behind starting what has become the global Church. There are things that are great about what the Church has become, and things that we maybe need to remember about the original purpose behind the institution of the Church. We discuss some of these things today, and steps we can take to make the church a more vibrant community of people following Christ. Do you have questions for us?

  • “…And in the end…” The book of Revelation.

    The book of revelation is fascinating, encouraging, and troubling all at the same time. When we allow ourselves to read the book as apocalyptic poetry, we discover that God is revealing to us the eventual outcome of his plan that he laid out for us, his creation, from the very beginning.
