Pondering Theologian

In this episode I ponder the verse about dying for others. What does it actually mean? I think, it is often out of context and I explore that and offer another way of understanding it.

Scriptural references: John 15:12-17, 1 John 3:11-24 (I would read the whole chapter though, covers a lot about love.)

Do we stop to think about the things we say, and why we say them? In this episode I ask if we consider the way in which we talk, to and about others.

In this episode, I share a late night pondering about cheating, and dedication in whatever iteration that takes. We as humans will sometimes say we will do something, or we are dedicated to something/someone, and then we actually, are not. Why? What does this do to us and the way we approach faith?

Do we love God? I mean do we actually love God in the way that we talk, worship, think or act towards God? I ponder that and look at an example of how King David talked about God.

In this episode of pondering things in my car, I think about protests. In this world, currently, protesting is polarized and popular. What is the point? Are they right or wrong? Just some thoughts leading up to a question, (per usual).

In this episode, I share some ponderings about the song "Will I" from the musical Rent. I ponder what the question holds for Christians and how we interact the world. It is also just a good question to examine any action we take in life.

In this episode I ponder, the statement, "this is what Jesus meant!" When we hear this in a sermon, Bible study, youth group etc. Do we think about it or take it as a fact to regurgitate later? Come listen and let me know what you think

In this episode I ponder the term, "defending honor." It's not just a term or statement, it can be an ethos that permeates our actions, thoughts and theology.
