49 min - James 1:26-27: Is Christianity a Religion or Relationship?It's a question many Christians have wrestled with, is Christianity a religion or relationship? Some argue that of course it is a religion because it has a lot of the other marks a religion would have like a holy book. Others would argue emphatically that it is absolutely not a religion but a relationship with a personal Savior. In today's bonus episode, I share my sermon on James 1:26-27 that gives us a clue on Christianity's religion status. How are Christians suppose to live? Is being pious something we are to pursue? All this and more in today's episode.Website: https://myseminarylife983333216.wordpress.com/?preview_id=3&preview_nonce=2d22b29479Shop: https://my-seminary-life-store.creator-spring.com/Facebook and Instagram: @myseminarylifepodContact: [email protected]23 min

33 min - Stewardship as Leadership featuring Ben Hixson
Is servant leadership the best term to describe the leadership we are suppose to use in ministry, or is there another way to think about it? Is mentoring me giving the person I'm leading all the information or helping them arrive at their own conclusions? In this episode, I speak to Campus Pastor Ben Hixson in the first of three pastoral interviews I did for this class. He not only answers these questions, but also defines for us servant leadership and he gives us a great metaphor for how to view vision casting. Ben also clears the air for me on what exactly is Detroit Style pizza.

This is the "vision statement" for Systematic Geekology for those who were interested:
"In each episode of Systematic Geekology, we want to bridge the gap between what is typically called “secular pop culture” and the Christian faith. We do that through authentic, raw conversation. Part of our goal in that is to help people think about deeper topics in these contexts, and part of our goal is to demonstrate that “you can be a Christian and not be a jerk.” "

https://anazao-ministries.captivate.fm/43 min - ROUND TABLE: How Do Our Unique Identities Help the Church?
We are back with our round table of "genius-saints"! Hosts Joshua Noel and TJ (Tiberius Juan) Blackwell are joined by Christian Ashley, Dino Ablan, Joe Dea of Buddywalk with Jesus, and Brandon Knight of My Seminary Life. Today we ask our guests about and discuss the topic of identity. Who are you? How do we identify ourselves? What does it mean to have our identity in Christ? How can my unique attributes contribute to my local Church congregation? What does your identity mean? What determines identity? How does our gender, race, politics, religion, and interest all contribute to our identity? Can Christians have anything other than Christ as part of their identity? Why is it important to understand what the Bible says about gender or biological sex? Are identity politics and Christian nationalism dangerous? How do we understand our mental health as part of our identity? How can the Church benefit from the unique identity of all its members? We discuss all this and more in this episode! Let us know what you think about the importance of "identity" in our Facebook group!

About Anazao Podcasts
From the publisher's feed
Anazao (an-ah-zah’-o) is a Koine Greek word meaning “new life” or “life restored,” describing both a moment of revival and an ongoing process of renewal. To wake from death, to be re-formed, or to…
continually renew the mind, body, and soul is to "anazao". Our network aims to live into that renewal by asking better questions and engaging the world as it actually is. We explore a variety of topics such as martial arts, Taoism, horror, science, pop culture, questions of Church unity, and more. Too often Christian media settles for safe answers and shallow conversations; we’d rather wrestle with what’s hard, strange, or uncomfortable. By digging beneath clichés and taking ideas seriously - whether from the Bible, a dojo, a film, the Church, or a laboratory - we believe faith doesn’t shrink. It restores, engages, and brings new life.
