Jeremiah's Well

Passover is still celebrated by millions around the world each year, but surprisingly not by many Christians. This ancient meal, repurposed by Christ just before His death, reminds us of God's salvation and points us back to the cross and ahead to the coming of Christ. It isn't just a Jewish thing. It's a feast that should be celebrated by all who find their salvation in Jesus Messiah. As always, we'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas for more episodes.

The recent shooting in Atlanta has left many upset, saddened, and feeling the weight of racism. But was that event really about racism? And is racism really the thing we should be upset about? There are a lot of burdens to bear these days, from racism to abortion to many others. Should we try to fix all of them? If we don't, are we cold and heartless? Josh and Melissa have a discussion about their thoughts on this event and the bigger conversation of racism that seems to underline all the problems in our country.

The fool is a main character in Proverbs. We see him everywhere today; in our homes, schools, social feeds, government halls, places of work, and even our own hearts. But what is a fool? How do we identify these "windbags" and should we even try to convince them they're wrong? What if we can't walk away from foolish conversations? There is a ton of foolishness in our world today, from cancel culture to conspiracy theories, but thankfully there are many timeless truths which speak to this frustrating reality.

Injustice is a hot topic these days. How do we endure if it comes our way? The guys dive into the Apostles Creed, discussing the suffering of Christ under Pontius Pilate, and how it was much more than the physical suffering we usually think about. The injustice Pilate served was some of the worst in history, but it points us to the justice and mercy of God. Oh, and Ricky hates spring for some reason?

Should we see professional counselors? Is counseling really necessary if we have friends, pastors, and especially the Bible?

Our pastors craft sermons with care, sure to express God's Word accurately and effectively, but what about our songs? Is the same care taken with them? What if the song is ok, but the artist supports things we stand against? Is it still okay to sing these songs? We dive into What a Beautiful Name, Elevation and Bethel, and even a little Mariah Carey as we talk about worship words. Josh and Ricky don't agree on this one, but get into a discussion about the principles behind why we sing what we sing in worship.

Violence has dominated much of the news in recent months, from riots to rallys, from cities to the capital. As Christians, is it ever ok to resort to violence?

Conflict is going to happen. A comment, an action, or a social post will rub someone the wrong way. How do we respond? Must we make peace?
