  • 043 - Unpacking Forgiveness
    This week on the podcast we chat about the difficult concept of forgiveness. By definition forgiveness must include some degree of hurt and pain which often makes this topic difficult to grapple with. Joining us is Pastor Chris Brauns, pastor of the Red Brick Church in Stillman Valley, IL and the author of the book Unpacking Forgiveness. Listen in as we discuss just forgiveness is and issues such as should we forgive those who are unrepentant?

  • 042 - Authorized: The use and Misuse of the KJV
    The King James Version is a beloved translation of the Bible still used by many Christians despite the fact that it was originally updated over 400 years ago. Among these Christians are those who would label themselves King James Only meaning they believe the King James Version is the only valid translation of the Bible and that all major translations are at best inferior and at worst corrupt. It was with this in mind that Dr. Mark Ward wrote his latest book, Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Version. In this final segment with Dr. Ward, we talk specifically about his book and how to show respect to a translation clearly blessed by God and yet still be able to appreciation modern, more understandable translations.

  • 041 - Bible Translations

    *NOTE* - This episode has been updated as the previous file failed to save correctly producing an episode that only contained under 3 minutes of actual audio. The file has been fixed and now the entire interview may be heard. Sorry for the mix-up. 


    Why do we have so many English Bible translations? How do you know which one is right for you? These are just some of the questions I posed to Mark Ward on this week's podcast. Mark received his PhD in New Testament Interpretation from Bob Jones University. He now serves the church as a Logos Pro, writing weekly on Bible study for the Logos Talk Blog and training users in the use of Logos Bible Software. He is the author of multiple high school Bible textbooks, including Biblical Worldview: Creation, Fall, Redemption. He blogs at byfaithweunderstand.com.

  • 040 - Restored: Living and Loving after Abuse
    This week we tackle a subject few in the church seem to want to talk about - abuse. Many people suffer silently and are afraid to speak up about either ongoing or past abuse. Joining us is my friend Dr. Don Woodard who is the pastor Beacon Baptist Church in Salem, VA and the author of Restored: Living and Loving after Abuse. Our conversation is not so much an expose on abuse in the church but rather focuses on ministering to victims.
