  • Ep. 30: Social Media, Part 1 - "Cautious Consumption"

    A quick survey of the most recent data confirms something that most people know intuitively about social media. It is an enormously influential means of communication in our society. One of the more compelling and concerning takeaways from all of the data about this immensely influential medium is that the use of social media is NOT primarily driven by content production, but rather by content consumption... consumption on a massive scale.

    In this first episode in our new series on Social Media, we discuss some important principles about its use and the need for Christians to exercise biblical discernment and caution when choosing the content we consume.

  • Ep. 29: Racial Tension, Part 6 (What should we do?)
    Over the last 5 episodes in this series, we have sought to identify some key questions that we believe are crucial for us to ask and answer if we are going to think and respond biblically to the very real problem of racial tension. In this 6th and final episode in the series, Dr. Shane Koehler will help us address the challenging, yet crucial question that every individual believer and every church must face... What should we do?

  • Ep. 28: Racial Tension, Part 5 (Who are YOU?)
    One of the most prominent and destructive features of the current cultural moment is the elevation of collective ethnic identity to such an exaggerated degree that our society has become dangerously splintered. Sadly, this trend has intensified among professing Christians as well. In this 5th episode of our series on Racial Tension, we will discuss the fundamental issue of identity from a biblical perspective as we look to God’s Word to answer the question, “Who are YOU?”

  • Ep. 27: Racial Tension, Part 4 (Who's to blame?)
    Genesis 3 teaches us that, in a fallen world, everyone in society bears some responsibility and pays some price for society's ills, and that includes racial injustice. But simply stating the general principle that there is plenty of blame to go around doesn't sufficiently answer the basic question, "Who's to blame?" In this 4th episode of our series on Racial Tension, we will try to answer this question from a clear and comprehensively biblical perspective.

  • Ep. 26: Racial Tension, Part 3 (Where is this going?)
    In a recent TV interview, Greater New York Black Lives Matter president Hawk Newsome warned, “If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.” A quote like this may seem unnecessarily provocative, but it warrants some thoughtful analysis. What do they want, specifically? What does “this system” include? And, if the system has to be burned down and replaced, what will it be replaced with? In other words where is all of this going? In part 3 of our series on Racial Tension, we will try to bring biblical clarity to these questions and provide some direction for how we, as Christians, ought to respond.

  • Ep. 25: Racial Tension, Part 2 (What do you mean?)

    In the classic fairytale comedy, The Princess Bride, one of the characters, Vizzini, keeps exclaiming the word, "Inconceivable!", when something happens that he was sure could never happen. After a few of these exclamations, the beloved character, Inigo Montoya, simply says, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." In part 2 of our series on Racial Tension, we will see that there are several terms that are often repeated by pundits, politicians, professors and protestors that do not mean what you might think they mean.

  • Ep. 24: Racial Tension, Part 1 (Where is the hope?)
    It is clearly a distressing time in the life of our country. So, how should the church, corporately, and believers, individually, respond during this period of social unrest and profound racial discord? And, in the midst of all the noise and confusion swirling around these complex issues, where is the hope? In this first episode of a new series on Racial Tension, we will begin to answer these and other important questions.

  • Ep. 23: Uncertainty & Hope, Part 2

    After a long summer hiatus, we are back at it with a new Building Faith podcast, Uncertainty & Hope, Part 2. In our last episode in May, we were a couple of months into the COVID-19 shutdown, so we thought it would be helpful to record a short series on biblical hope. In part 1 of the series, we focused on what biblical hope actually is and how it starkly contrasts with superficial conceptions of worldly hope. In this new follow-up episode, we discuss how our understanding of biblical hope should work itself out in our lives.

  • Ep. 22: Uncertainty & Hope, Part 1
    I hope I don’t get sick. I hope I don’t lose my job. I hope I get to see my friends soon. I hope the economy recovers from this pandemic shutdown. In this episode, we begin a series of discussions on the subject of hope. What is biblical hope and how does it differ from the more common notions or expressions of hope we hear or say? We will answer those questions in this episode of the Building Faith Podcast.

  • Ep. 21: Lord, Teach Us to Pray, Part 2

    In this episode, we continue our discussion of the well-known Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Through this model prayer, Jesus provides the ideal framework for our prayers, but more importantly, He teaches us how faithful prayer enables us to rightly relate to and deeply commune with our Heavenly Father.
