Jesus Changes Everything

Lisa and I discuss the life of Jezebel and God's grace. I consider the shame that drives Pride Month, remember going to the pool as a kid and unpack Augustine's wise counsel, "Love God, and do as you please."

Lisa and I discuss the strength of character and the courage of Jehosheba in II Kings 11. Plus, how long will the American Empire stand? A ministry update, including info on my health and finally, how we all fall prey to legalism.

Lisa and I have a nuanced conversation on Bathsheba. I consider our call to not trust governments when it comes to pandemic news. Plus, Joel's message to God's people in every era and what we can learn from the Greek words ekklesia and kuriake about the nature and calling of the church.

Lisa and I discuss the wisdom and grace exhibited by Abigail in her encounter with David, and how she serves as a model of strong but gentle femininity. Plus, finding a middle ground between boomers and millenials. In Good News we unpack what it means to shake dust off our feet and we conclude by remembering God is the only one worthy of glory in our salvation.

I speak well of my friend David Knight. I consider the dangers of when our friends play fast and loose with the Consitution. I remember how we used to watch movies on television. And understanding irresistible grace.

I conclude my interview with David Knight on his new book, What It Means to Be a Christian. Plus, how we sell outrage on social media, and how all our needs are met in Christ.

I continue my conversation with David Knight on his new book, What Does It Mean to Be a Christian? Plus, how what upsets us shows our warped values, as news of marital infidelity in the sports world raises issues of awards voting. I seek out ministry partners and remember how God is pleased to use crooked sticks like us in order to make straight lines.

Part one of a three part interview with David Knight about his new book What It Means to Be a Christian. Plus, all the nubub over President Trump's meme. Hosea and Gomer from our prophets segment and finally, lessons learned from falling towars.

Lisa and I conclude our conversation on Ruth and Naomi. In a Curating Your Book Library segment I sttrongly commend Tony Reinke's wonderful book, God, Technology and the Christian Life. Plus, Good News considers Jesus noting the workers for the harvest are few, and finally, confess our embarrassment over God's wrath.

Today Lisa and I begin a conversation on God's grace in the lives of Ruth and Naomi. I consider the blessing of persecution in light of Jaden Ivey's release by the Chicago Bulls. I remember weird curricula in schools in the 70s and explore the importance of Paul's epistolary introductions.
