Kingdom Culture Conversations

The return of "What About?" Wednesdays! Text us your questions for apologist and pastor Robby Lashua!

As we continue to espouse the benefits of the Family Care Learning library on online parenting courses and resources, today we sit down for a Kingdom Culture Conversation with Jennie Dalcour, a clinical supervisor for Christian Family Care in Phoenix, Arizona.  In the first of a two-part conversation, Jennie speaks to the benefits of EMDR, the growing risks associated with emotionally unavailable parents, and the hope that stems from committing to Christian worldview in the midst of a culture mired with anxiety.

The Family Care Learning library is available free-of-charge to Northwest Christian families that have completed the NCS Parent University: Foundations of Biblical Worldview online course that is required of NCS parents as part of the re-enrollment process.

As you watch Colleen Pfitzinger, a member of Northwest Christian's third grade team, around campus, you might be tempted to think she's a bit reserved.

But, that's not the story that's coming out of her classroom.

Nope.  For years, students have reported quite the opposite:  that Colleen is not reserved, rather, she's a riot in the classroom...that Colleen knows how to make learning fun.  And, when learning is fun, students cannot get enough.

Today, we have the chance to hear from Colleen:  her testimony, her strategies for teaching, and her reflections on where we are in the Red Letter Challenge--Matthew 8.

At first glance, Luke 2:52 seems harmless enough.

"Jesus increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with God and man."

But, wait a minute...

Jesus increased in wisdom?  In other words, the pre-incarnate Word from John 1 "grew in wisdom" over the course of time?  How?  Or, Colossians 1's pre-existent, uncreated God-in-the-flesh became more wise?

Further, how did Jesus increase in favor with God?  Is Luke suggesting that at one point God favored Jesus less and then, at another point, He favored Him more?  How does that work?

And, so the argument goes:  as the Gospels were written, the early church had a developing agenda for Jesus and therefore, over time, they began to exaggerate who He was and His significance.  Is it possible that there are internal clues within Scripture that reveal an evolving Christology?

To the rescue:  Robby Lashua, an apologist with Stand to Reason!  Robby helps us to understand Luke 2:52...

"Matthew 1 is boring!"

"The genealogies are a waste of time!"

Think again, friend.

Given the absolute economy of words within Scripture, as we will learn today with Northwest Christian's Chelsey Lawson, there is an unrivaled efficiency to the presentation of unfettered truth in God's word...to the degree that there is no wasted wordage!  Even within the genealogies, we find things that God is earnestly and urgently working to communicate to us!

As you spend time with Mike Potter, the CEO of the Tyndale Group of Christian Schools in Australia, you are first impressed by his warmth and wit.  Actually, more than wit--the dude is seriously funny. 

Spend even more time and you'll discover a man wholly committed to Christ and meeting the needs of students.

Spend a bit more time and, well, that is where things start to get messy.  Why?  Because Mike pulls no punches about the messiness that nearly shipwrecked him several years ago.  He's done more than come through a storm, however.  He's come through the storm and then gone back into that storm to share his vital story and the truths it taught him to men and women who are still caught up in the worst of the ugliness that life offers.

In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, you will be moved by Mike's transparency, candor, and courage.

Tanner Wisely is a Northwest Christian alum that is presently serving in the U.S. Army in Fort Bliss, Texas and about to move to a new post in Germany.  Walker, his brother and a NC senior, is getting ready to play football at Western New Mexico University.  In today's Kingdom Culture Conversation, you will here from two brothers who are the best of friends.

But it has not always been this way.  

In fact, for a number of years, the two were estranged.  But, over time, things changed...and, not always for the better.  Nevertheless, as we'll hear today, these two brothers realize that their Heavenly Father used hardship, trials, and trauma--including the loss of their earthly father--to grow them as individuals and, ultimately, to reconcile their relationship.

These are two of the toughest dudes Northwest Christian has ever graduated but you better grab a box of tissues because this conversation is very, very real and emotionally raw.

To say that Australian education is unique from American education is an understatement.  Yet, even within that paradigm, Steve Downes' Calvary Christian College is vastly different than most Australian Christian schools.

How?

That's the subject of today's far-reaching Kingdom Culture Conversation.  So far-reaching, in fact, that we learn of an Aussie's inability to select the finest album from the amazing slate of classic rock albums from the greatest-ever Australian band, Midnight Oil.  ("Diesel and Dust"?  Give me a break.)

What does it mean when Jesus says "abide in Me" within John 15?  Is it a trick question?  Can we bring ourselves to accept that His love surpasses my tarnished past?

Today, Geoff Brown and Chris "G" Gardiner walk through what may be Jesus' most amazing and revelatory truth claim:  We have the standing invitation to find perfect rest and peace through surrender to Christ.
