Every Thought Captive Podcast

In today's episode, Chad sits down with Associate Professor of Theology at Dordt University, Justin Ariel Bailey to discuss his newest book, Interpreting Your World: Five Lenses for Engaging Theology and Culture. In his book, Bailey masterfully lays out the tools of how to merge our theology into the culture that God has established us in. This book should be a call to believers about how to faithfully discern the culture around us, understand how that can shape our theology, and then push us to action to use that knowledge to further the Kingdom. 

For more about Justin Ariel Bailey and his work, please visit his website, pjustin.com where you can see more about his work in theology, and what books he has available to aid in your pursuit of God's call on your life. 

We'd love to hear your feedback! If you like what you hear (or you don't!) could you leave us a review? It really helps out the show. Thanks!

With Michael out at a conference, Doug and Chad sit down, one on one, and give perspective to the recent midterm elections. How do we, as a Church, navigate politics in a post-Trump presidency? How should we marry our faith into our political leanings? Then, to cool down the spice, they end with a short and sweet discussion of their favorite Chicago teams.

In today's episode, we're joined by new OCC professor Laura Porter. Laura has taken the reins of the counseling and psycology department at Ozark and brings a wealth of knowledge and care to the subject.

In today's episode, Chad and Michael sit down with Christ Church of Oronogo's Community Impact Minister, Maggie Schade. It seems like there's a pervasive notion in today's society that the church doesn't do much in their local communities, and Maggie joins us to give us her unique perspective on just how much the church can and should impact our communities.

Chad and Michael sit down with fellow Ozark Christian College professor Mike Ackerman, professor of Church Planting and  New Testament Studies, to talk about how the story of Jesus is laid out in the four Gospels of the New Testament.
