In this episode:

GFM managing editor Zach Dawes, Jr. interviews Leah Grundset Davis, author of "Believe the Women: A Journey of Liberation with Alliance of Baptists' Women." The book is a collection of theological work, sermons, and personal stories that remind us that we ignore the prophetic voices of women at our own peril, for they have kept—and they will keep—raising their voices and calling us to fix broken systems. It’s particularly notable that we’re offered this powerful invitation to engage Mary’s song through the voices of Baptist women ministers—those who have persisted in their determination to follow God’s call in the face of institutions that would silence them.

In this episode:

GFM media producer Cliff Vaughn interviews Charles E. Poole, author of "The Path to Depth."

Poole explores how the path to depth is a narrow way; narrow, not as in exclusive, but as in centering; a lifelong reaching for a more thoughtful, mindful, centered life; praying, each day, all through the day, to be kind and gentle, brave and true. However, while the path to depth is a narrow way, it leads to a wide place. On the path to depth, the deeper we go, the wider we grow.

In this episode:

GFM creative coordinator Cally Chisholm interviews Maralene and Miles Wesner, authors of "If Jesus Were Here Today"

It’s difficult to know the mind and follow the example of a person who lived so long ago, but the Gospels do include some frequently overlooked vignettes that teach us about Jesus’s personal character, values, and methods of ministry. The Wesners explore some of these vignettes to help us determine what Jesus would say and do about current issues.

In the 52 insightful essays covering five areas—personal devotion, worship theology and practice, preparing for worship, the church year and worship, and worship that transforms lives—we see the depth of Dr. Horton’s heart, his great love for the church, and his passion for worship.

This combination makes for compelling reading. The book could be an excellent resource for a weekly study for a team of musicians, a choir, a worship committee, or source of topics for a pastoral staff discussion. Each of the “windows on worship” in this book with one of the following objectives:

• to help you strengthen your personal devotional life

• to provide greater awareness of a biblical theology of worship

• to better prepare yourself as you come to worship

• to develop a deeper appreciation for the church year

• to help you recognize how our Triune God transforms lives through worship

Although the essays in this book could be read in one or two sittings, the author encourages you to read and meditate on one essay per week. Over the course of a single year, you will have completed a journey that will allow you to “connect some of the dots” in your own personal devotion to, application of, and participation in Christian worship.

The Alliance of Baptists has been a progressive voice for thirty-five years, pushing the boundaries of Christianity towards anti-racism, LGBTQ+ inclusion, and gender equity in ministry. In Taking on the Cross, the Alliance gathers a diverse group of Baptist pastors, writers, and theologians who critically question substitutionary atonement theology—that Jesus died on the cross for humanity’s sins—and offers pathways for reimagining the meaning of Jesus’ life and death. The book begins with biblical and theological essays from multiple perspectives, then offers church resources—liturgy and faith formation—and finishes with a section on tools for the ministries of pastoral care and social justice. Each chapter concludes with questions that will make Taking on the Cross a favorite for book clubs, Sunday school classes, and small group discussions.
