Talk of the Town
In this episode, we discuss Christian conversation — cultural, institutional, and in our encounters with the living God. Our guide is Prof. Robert Kolb, who wrote about the 'Art of Christian Conversation' in his book, "Speaking the Gospel Today." What is Christian conversation, and what is its purpose? On the other side of the table, what is a worldly conversation, and what is its ultimate purpose? Is there any difference between pre-modern and post-modern Christian conversations and secular talks? Is there anything we can learn from "Christian conversations" that can be applied and/or help us appreciate myths, legends, folk tales, and storytelling? Is it possible for our conversations to awaken us to a greater reality than what our material generation tells us about the limits of reality?

Run for the Hills! On this episode, we sit with Eugene Peterson and Jonah, listening to what they have to teach about God's grace, death and resurrection, threshold experiences, believing Jesus is God versus encountering him, and much, much more! What does pastoral ministry look like in Jonah's disobedience and obedience to God's call? What would a "Church of St Jonah" look and sound like? What is it about God's love for sinners that drives us away from God? When will this episode description end?

Featured text: "Prescription against Heretics" — Tertullian
The Times They Are A-Changin'. In this episode, we sit with Tertullian's writing on "Prescription against Heretics." What is "the rule of faith"? What constitutes a proper seeking after divine knowledge? What does Tertullian mean by "Heretics Encourage and Perpetuate Thought Independent of Christ's Teaching"? What does he mean by "Restless Curiosity, the Feature of Heresy"? Should heretics not to be allowed to argue out of the Scriptures?

Featured text: "Introduction to A Memoir of Mary Ann" — Flannery O'Connor
Pretty Girls Make Graves. In this episode, we sit with Flannery O'Connor's introduction to A Memoir of Mary Ann, a memoir of a little girl who lived for 12 years at the Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer Home in Atlanta, Georgia. Written by the nuns at the home, with a substantial introduction by Flannery O'Connor. This is a deeply moving meditation on pain, suffering, loss, and why the good hides himself behind the grotesque.

Featured text: "The Value and Role of Creeds and Confessions" — Carl Trueman
With Arms Wide Open! In this episode, on the eve of Trinity Sunday, we sit with Carl Trueman's essay, 'The Value and Role of Creeds and Confession.' Is there any usefulness of Creeds and Confessions at present? Are they important as historic documents? Are they authoritative for the churches? What are the biblical origins of the ecumenical creeds, and are they the rule of faith for contemporary Christians? What about contemporary churches that write their own creeds, confessions, or statements of faith — do they participate in the catholic faith, or are they confessing something separate from historic, orthodox Christianity?

Featured text: "The Unseen Realm: Recovering the Supernatural Worldview of the Bible" — Michael Heiser
The Mosaic Word. In this episode, we sit with Michael Heiser's book, The Unseen Realm, on reading the Bible. What are the rules of engagement when one reads Scripture? What filters do we apply to the biblical texts, and are they helpful or do they blind us? What, then, are the obstacles that prevent us from enjoying the biblical narratives? What do we assume about the Bible that is true, and what is not? Have moderns been desensitized to the vitality and theological importance of the unseen world? Does modern Christianity suffer from two serious shortcomings when it comes to the supernatural world? Do we assume that a lot of things in the Bible are too odd or peripheral to matter? What if the weird parts of the Bible are the most important?

Featured text: "Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future" — Seraphim Rose
UFOs are Rebel Angels. In this episode, we read Father Seraphim Rose's classic text, Orthodoxy and the Religion of the Future, about the true nature of UFOs and the nefarious origins of modern narratives about extraterrestrials, spaceships, what's out there in the universe, and so on. What do Christians have to say to a culture that is awash with UFO sightings and prolifically promises to reveal the truth about UFOs?

Featured text: "Apologia Against Those Who Decry Holy Images" — John of Damascus
Every Picture Tells a Story. In this episode, we sit with John of Damascus to listen to him teach us about the veneration of icons — what that means, why it's a subject of dispute, how scripture distinguishes between graven images and god- pleasing icons, and how this all ties into worship and vocation. This and much, much more on this week's episode.
