Christmas is such an exciting time for children of all ages. But often the real meaning of Christmas gets lost in all the hustle and bustle of the season. This year, as you are getting ready for Christmas, we invite you to bring "Abel in the Stable" into your home. Start by reading the story about how Abel's journey began and then use the Family Guide to help Abel discover that Jesus is the true meaning of Christmas.

In this episode, Chase and I use Kevin Deyoung's book, What Does the Bible Really Teach About Homosexuality, to guide us through the main passages of Scripture that deal with homosexuality. 

Often, people fall into one of two ditches when it comes to homosexuality. In the left ditch, homosexuality is NOT a sin. In the right ditch, homosexuality is THE sin. In this conversation, we seek to walk the middle road and teach homosexuality is a sin, like other sins, that must be repented of by God's grace. 

Some of the texts we discuss include: 

Genesis 1-2, Matthew 19, Ephesians 5, Romans 1, Genesis 19, Jude 7, Leviticus 18 and 20. 

Next week, Chase and I will continue our discussion and look at 1 Timothy 1 and 1 Corinthians 6.

For most, Revelation is the book at the end of the Bible we avoid because it seems so strange and even scary. In this episode, Chase Bright seeks to teach us the whole book in less than an hour (spoiler... he goes a bit over). He also makes the case for why we should read it and love it. 

Listen now as Chase gives three keys and seven pictures to understanding the book.

Listen to this fascinating conversation with Jackson Greer about creation through the lens of church history. Over the last 2,000 years, what did Christians believe about creation, the age of the earth, and the material world? What cultural beliefs about creation and the body set Christians at odds with the world? How can knowing their stories help us understand our story in church history?

Jackson argues we need the church fathers for such a moment as this, and I think you will agree. Enjoy!

Jimmy Slack will be the first to say both Young Earth and Old Earth Christians agree about the WHO, WHAT, and WHY of creation—which are the most important! However, Christians often disagree about the exact HOW and WHEN of creation. The main distinction stems from the question: Does the word “day” (Yom in Hebrew) in Genesis 1 refer to 24 hours or a long period? 

In this podcast episode, Slack makes the case for why he believes “day” in the text refers to a long period of time. Slack, once an atheist, has studied creation and science for the past 30+ years. He deeply loves Jesus, the Bible, and his glorious Creator. 

So whether you believe in young Earth or old Earth or not sure, you will find this interview fascinating (I know I did). And yes, I ask Jimmy about dinosaurs. Enjoy!
