This week we take a deep dive on the Psalms with Text Talk hosts Edwin Crozier and Andrew Roberts. We talk about grappling with the really depressing Psalms and understanding why poetry can help make you a better Christian.

The book Edwin wrote about this is incorrectly cited in the program. The correct title is Praying Like the Psalmists and is available here.

Edwin and Andrew host a truly excellent podcast, Text Talk. They are excellent at what they do.

I had some big changes at my workplace that have taken my time and attention. I do apologize for dropping the podcast the last couple of weeks, but I feel like this is a place I needed to be at a time I needed to be there. Pray for me and those I love, please.

For this episode, I'm reading the book of Romans. If you're listening in real time, this corresponds to Kris Emerson's chapter a day group. The book itself is complex, but you see several themes woven together, and the idea of unity permeates the entire book. 
Again, I am reading from the World English Bible translation.

We know we should believe in God. But why is that practical? Why is it really important, or is it? Isn't it enough to just believe without having to get into the details?

In this conversation, Bruce Reeves makes a case on why it's not just an exercise in thought experiments and pointless debates, but why it forms the foundation of your relationship with God.
Bruce is also the co-author of Is It Reasonable to Believe in God?

What is good? I've ended almost every episode with some variation of be good and do good, but what does it mean to be good.

This week I talk with Bryan Schiele and Ryan Joy of the Bible Geeks Podcast about their new season discussing being good. I'm thrilled with these guys and I love what they're doing with the topic.

You can listen to their podcast here. This season they are also developing classroom and conversation materials for the series.

They are two excellent guys.
