Marshall and Macon discuss the overlapping messages of their favorite writers Andrew Murray for Marsh and TF Torrance for Macon. They’re both Scottish Ministers who are convinced of God’s unconditional and unconditioned love for humanity. Murray approaches it from the spiritual development side and Torrance from the theological side, though both are deeply concerned about both sides. Prepare for an episode of fan-boy fun, because these two writers don’t let you get away from the Good News of God’s love for you, for real for real.

Marshall, Macon, and Alex get up to speed on Marshall’s movie watching and Macon’s Advent practice. Then we return to Alex’s project of preparing for a 4 talk weekend bringing together Hebrews and Anxiety. This week we consider how to connect the High Theology of Hebrews with the so-what-ness of day-to-day life, and which of the roles of Jesus, Prophet, Priest, and King, do we resonate with the most.

We will return to talking about Anxiety & Hebrews next week. In the meantime, here’s an excerpt from Chapter 3 of T.F. Torrance’s Incarnation, pp 60-67, where he explores St. John’s phrase, “The Word made flesh.”

Alex is keynoting a college student retreat weekend in 2025. Marshall and Macon are here to help him write his talks which are out of Hebrews and which need to apply to the practical issue of anxiety. This is part one.
