The first Christian priority that often exits the stage of debate is love. The second priority that is often lacking in our debate is humility. Connected to both love and humility is the church’s call to unity, which, like the prior two, often falls by the wayside in our theological and cultural debates. Because Jesus prays for the visible unity of the church, we are obliged to prioritize the pursuit of unity as we attempt to disagree well.

Certainty and Humility

A word about the title of this podcast – Through Stained Glass. We have these beautiful stained glass windows in our sanctuary that tell the gospel story. Scene by scene. The birth of Jesus Christ. His miraculous life. His death, resurrection and ascension into heaven… A stained glass window is different from a painting. You look at a painting. But you look thru a window.  So, the church looks out at world through stained glass – that is, as defined by the true depiction of reality in the window. The windows are portals into reality through which we see everything else… So, this podcast is an attempt to engage with things going on in the culture through the greater reality of God – in the hope that we might live lives that are profoundly shaped by the gospel story and not the dominant cultural narratives and liturgies that make up what the Bible calls “the world.”
