Adventures in Theology

Dr. Habermas is a leading expert on the topic of "NDE's" or "Near-Death Experiences." Listen in as Dr. Gary shares fascinating testimonies from renowned medical journals on how we have evidence of life beyond death and what that means for discussions of faith. Just after we finished recording, Dr. Habermas shared with me (offline) an incredible story that he forgot to share on the recording. Fortunately, in a recent Youtube interview, he shared this story. This three-minute clip can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8SO_aCk_sU

Can we defend the resurrection of Jesus from a historically reliable vantage point? Yes! And I brought on the most prominent voice on the topic to give a brief introduction into why. Dr. Gary Habermas is second-to-none in his forty-plus years of scholarly research and writing on this topic (and others). When people reference "the scholars" on the topic of the resurrection of Jesus, they better be dealing with Dr. Habermas' work. It was such an honor and a privilege to have him on. Below are some links to give you more of Dr. Gary:

What does it look like to live a lifestyle of purpose with the Holy Spirit? Following Philip's story of a Spirit-led conversation, we may be surprised on how a narrative from the first century may encourage us with practical insight on how to live a life of adventurous faith, today!

Scripture is clear that when we give our lives to Jesus we receive His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. As post-Pentecost, new covenant belivers, we are filled with the fullness of God's temple presence (1 Cor. 3:16). In light of that, why does Paul command believers to be continually filled by the Spirit in Ephesians 5:18? How can we be full of the Holy Spirit but also continually filled by the Spirit? Is this a contradiction? Or is there a rich paradox waiting to be explored! I believe the latter. Let's explore this great question!

In a very passionate episode, we unpack one more thing about Pentecost is what made it so counter-intuitive for its day. Listen in as we talk about how the temple presence of God, the fire of God, has left the temple!

Welcome to part 2 of our Acts series, where we seek to explore major themes and passages in the book of Acts. Few episodes are as difficult to communicate as this one. On one side of things, this is an eye-opening dialogue on how Pentecost serves as a major hinge between phases of the biblical story; and yet, it is almost like trying to summarize the story of Israel at one event. And that is what makes Pentecost so profound... the single event showcases the Jewish believers in Jesus as the true Israel who have the honor of ushering in the new humanity of the new covenant. Listen in for a thought-provoking conversation as we explore the untold story of Pentecost!

Today, we kick off the series in Acts! Acts is Luke's sequel to the Gospel of Luke, and unlike most sequels in the movie world today, Acts is a sequel done well! As we will see, the book of Acts answers the question of "What's next?" for us as followers of Jesus.

The Sabbath is a 24 hour period in which we cease from the toil of work to simply enjoy the life given to us. Is the Sabbath still applicable today? Listen in as Dr. Matthew Sleeth and I try to persuade YOU that Sabbath is not legalistic law, but life-giving wisdom. 

Matthew Sleeth, MD, a former emergency room physician and chief of the hospital medical staff, resigned from his position to teach, preach, and write about faith and stewardship issues. Dr. Sleeth has spoken at more than one thousand churches, campuses, and events, including serving as a monthly guest preacher at the Washington National Cathedral. Recognized by Newsweek as one of the nation’s most influential Christian leaders, Dr. Sleeth is the executive director of Blessed Earth and author of numerous articles and books, including Reforesting Faith and 24/6. He lives in Lexington, Kentucky, with Nancy, his wife of nearly forty years. Their grown children serve with their spouses in full-time parish ministry and as medical missionaries in Africa.

The phrase: "Don't pull weeds without planting flowers" has been deeply influential to me. Today, I share my candid, off the script insights on the topic of habits. As Christians, we should recognize the power of habits in how the rhythms, routines, and habits are forming a lifestyle, and even identity, of who we are becoming. Healthy habits form healthy people. Listen in as we talk about the journey of how healthy habits start as a duty, become a discipline, and (if we stick with it) they become a delight!
