Scott and Shawn continue to discover what it means to think like Jesus, but run up against some objections to how Jesus could be fully human if he was divine at the same time. If he was truly human, how could he perform miracles or know the future? And if he was God, can he really relate to our human weaknesses and the temptations we face?

Since Jesus was fully human, that means he needed to learn just like we do. But how could he learn what he needed to know in order to become God’s Messiah and the Saviour of the world? The answer isn’t controversial, but it may surprise you. Join Scott and Shawn as they discover Jesus’ foundation for thinking and why it affects how Christians should think about everything.

Have we in the church allowed tradition and culture to inform us about singleness and marriage rather than Scripture? In this episode, we welcome Dr. Dani Treweek, a post-doctoral theological researcher, author, and speaker with a focus on biblical singleness, sexuality, theological retrieval, and worldview formation. By discussing her application of biblical theology in her research on the biblical meaning of singleness, Dani not only challenges us to re-think our understanding of singleness, but also supplies a real-life illustration of how to think biblically about any topic by viewing it through the lens of the Bible’s grand story.

• The Single-Minded Ministry
