Do you take care of your body?  I hope so!  Well, we need to take care of our mind too!  Just like we feed and exercise our body, we need to do the same for our mind.  Read widely.  Learn from the amazing facts and fiction of ancient literature.  You might be surprised at how exciting and thoughtful and encouraging people in the ancient world were.  And you'll be the richer for reading some of these titles!

This is probably the nerdiest podcast I will ever do.  I talk about my favorite authors, commentaries, systematic theologies, and linguistic tools that have helped me over 44 years in Christian ministry.  And, I throw in a "Dad" joke to boot!  Enjoy!

Chiune Sugihara was a Japanese diplomat in World War II who saved thousands of lives by disobeying his government.  He could not stand idly by and watch people perish without doing the right thing.  

Rabbi Melchior lost no time in warning his people.  And the Danes did not forget their fellow citizens.  Be inspired by people who did the right (and dangerous) thing at the right time! 

A Dutch homemaker and a pastor conspired in World War II to save thousands of Dutch (both Jew and Gentile) from the Nazis.  True story.  I hope it inspires you today.  

I read a 25 year old newspaper clipping about Dr. John Morton-Finney, who at the age of 100 had earned eleven college degrees, overcome racial prejudice, built a great life, and inspires greatness.  I hope his life inspires you today.  

Do you know the name of Robert Raymond Scott?  You should.  He is a young man, an American hero, who should never be forgotten.  Be inspired today by his act of utter selfless devotion.  

There have been plenty of sightings of Unidentified Flying Objects over the centuries, and some of them have no natural explanation.  Does the Bible give us any guidance on what these things may be, and what their purpose is?  

If the Law that God gave to Moses is now fulfilled and no longer binding on Christians today, why did God give it in the first place?  Tune in and find out!

If the Law of Moses is fulfilled and terminated at the Cross, and the Christian is not under its authority any longer, then do we have moral law for us today?  If so, where is it in the Bible?
