Hidden God

Welcome to Hidden God's first episode of season 3! We are excited to bring you relevant topics this season as we explore the world of addictions, pornography, sexuality, and gender. In this episode, Daniel and Jared will define addictions and begin to explain why they are so prevalent in our culture. As always we will turn to Scripture for answers and understanding. Enjoy!

Join us for Hidden God's season 2 finale! Daniel and Jared discuss their favorite books read in 2020. 

The best of pastors will tell you, "Ministry is tough!" Every day pastors face the hardship of leading their congregations and the realities of their own sin. In this episode of Hidden God we welcome a long time friend and pastor, Steve Shorrock as he helps us discuss difficulties of ministry. 

We've considered models on how to engage the culture, church history regarding this topic, and looked at passages of Scripture. The question still remains: What's the best way for the church in America to be about transforming our culture with the Gospel. Join Jared and Daniel as they conclude this series on Cultural Crisis by looking briefly at the life of Christ. 

God has always had a mission to reach the world with His Truth and reconcile sinful man to His presence. His mission didn't start in Matt 28.18-20. Instead, it goes all the way back to Gen 1.26-31. Nevertheless, the practical application of God's mission has shifted from the OT to the NT. No Scripture shows the difference quite like Acts 17.16-31. Join Jared and Daniel as they continue their series, "Culture Crisis."

Join Jared and Daniel as they continue the series, Cultural Crisis. In this episode we introduce the concept of contextualization. Our main question is: How can the church teach about sin, when we live in a culture that no longer recognizes nor understands that term? Even the definition of "good" is now subjective to postmodern listeners, making it almost impossible to communicate the reality of sin.  

How do visions start? Why is it so important to have a vision? How do you know if your organization is changing too quickly? This week Hidden God welcomes Tulsa Bible Church Children's Director, Mady Boultinghouse, for a discussion on vision. We look at Nehemiah 1 and explore how his vision started as the Israelites rebuilt the walls around Jerusalem. Enjoy. 

Engaging the culture is one of the hardest battles fought in churches today. How do we engage? Aren't we risking our testimony and holiness? How should we engage and to what extent can we engage without adapting worldly influences? Several models of cultural engagement have been knowingly or unknowingly used to reach and/or transform the culture with the Truth of the Gospel. Join Jared and Daniel as they continue in part 3 of their most recent series, Cultural Crisis. 

As we discuss cultural issues and how the church can effectively engage the culture, it's helpful to provide a framework for discussion. In this episode, Daniel and Jared follow the works of Richard Niebuhr, Christ and Culture, as well as Tim Keller, Center Church, and give an overview of how the church has engaged the culture through history. 

What are the most difficult issues facing the church today? Are they theological issues regarding doctrine and understanding Scripture? Are they church government issues of structure? Maybe they're political issues! You might be surprised, but we don't believe any of those are the most concerning issues in today's local churches. The issue we have identified is, in some sense, underneath all of them. Join us this week as we discuss one of the most pervasive issues in churches today.
