We desire to have a clear vision of the world, yet we inevitably see things through one or more worldviews. The result being that what we may think is a clear vision of how the world works is actually an illusion. These illusions are often manifested in secular ideologies. Join us as we look at the ideologies of liberalism, conservatism and socialism to see how they are inherently idolatrous and how a biblical worldview helps us to transcend ideologies and remain anchored in Christ.

From the Pastor's Bookshelf is about shaping our imaginations through good books. It's more than just a review or summary of any given book, but a chance to dive into the concepts and ideas that are unearthed in the book. We use these concepts as a launchpad for talking about faith and culture, and in this case...politics.

In this special episode we'll be talking about "Before You Vote: Seven Questions Every Christian Should Ask" By David Platt (Radical, Counter Culture).

The realm of politics presents the Christian with a unique dilemma. On the one hand public policy matters and if we are to effectuate God’s desire to do justice some level of engagement in the political sphere is necessary. While on the other hand, politics is a messy business (American founding father John Adams called it a “silly and wicked game”). So how can the Follower of Jesus engage in the political sphere without being tainted by it. We want to help you find a way to engage in politics in a thoughtful, caring and Christ-like way. So that, in the end, we can feel confident that we doing our duty in a way that honors Jesus.

How is holiness like a doughnut? It's not because it's delicious, but because so often we don't realize the hole in the middle. When we think of holiness, what comes to mind? The pious Pharisee on the street corner? A monk in a monastery? Holiness isn't just something extra for "those people" but the key aspect of what it means to be a follower of Christ.

In episode 4 of the podcast we're covering the book, "The Hole in our Holiness" by Kevin DeYoung. We're taking a transparent look at what so often seems to be missing in our discipleship. For more resources visit us online at radiantofcamas.org.

"Eschatological Discipleship." by Trevin Wax.

The COVID-19, like all crises, is very good at exposing our belief systems.  We have belief systems that we say we believe, but in times of difficulty we see what we believe.  The truth is that we may be living according to cultural narratives (which are antithetical to the biblical narrative we desire to live by) without even knowing it.  In our discussion today we look at Trevin Wax’s book Eschatological Discipleship, which helps us better understand and identify these cultural narratives, so that we can live biblically.

What does "Eschatological Discipleship" mean? What we think about the "end times" informs how we follow Jesus. This is more than pre/post-millenial, post/pre-tribulation, or preterist vs. futurist. We ALL have a worldview that is going somewhere. Whether it's the sexual revolution, the Enlightenment, or consumerism, we're all affected by the worldview that surround us. This and more is what we cover in episode 2 of FTPB.
