Holy History

The birth of Jesus often gives us warm and comforting feelings. But do we ever think of it as a revolution, inaugurating the government of joy? This week Dwain and Ben discuss words like "Lord" and "Messiah" and "Savior," discovering how they transcend all other kinds of authority.

This week Ben and Dwain continue talking about happiness, this time jumping into the Christmas story. What is this "good news of great joy" and why does it matter for us?

This week Dwain and Ben finish up talking through the Beatitudes and discuss the surprise of resilient happiness.

This week the Beatidudes keep on working through Jesus' "blessed" or "happy" statements in Matthew chapter 5, discussing the deep and satisfying happiness of trusting God in the midst of our meekness.

This week Ben and Dwain dive into the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12) and discuss the surprising places where true happiness is found. They're also VERY excited for the holidays.

It's the season of happiness...literally! This week Ben and Dwain launch in to a series all about the Bible's vision of happiness. What is it? Where is it found? And how do we find it in THESE DAYS?

It's the Q&A episode of season 2! Listen to Ben and Dwain wrap things up by talking about gratitude...and also hear the what-and-when of season 3!

This week Ben and Dwain get to the rock-bottom foundation of hope in the resilient way of Jesus: the work of Jesus on the cross, and the ultimate resilience of his resurrection! The conversation goes in many directions and they look at the cross from some if its many angles.

Jumping off of last week's episode, Dwain and Ben unpack Titus' reference to "the blessed hope" - the appearing of Jesus and the here-and-now-hope it provides.

CS Lewis said that, "heaven works backwards." What did he mean? Is there a sense in which we can taste heaven now? What is the heavenly, hopeful quality to life in the resilient way of Jesus? This week Ben and Dwain talk about how heaven invades the here-and-now with a pervasive sense of hope.
