  • The Boy Jesus from Luke 2:41-52

    It's frustrating to us that we don't know more about the biography of Jesus, but in Luke 2 we get to see Jesus as a 12-year-old boy. It's important to know that the Gospels tell us what we need to know. For the ancient writers, the message was more important than the characters. In this episode, I describe how it makes perfect sense that a Galilean Jewish boy like Jesus was talking to rabbis in Jerusalem. He was preparing for manhood, his bar mitzvah. The rabbis were always interested in evaluating the boys coming up. The message was that Jesus was well prepared to be Messiah. In the Gospel of John, we really see this. Jesus appears to have rabbinic standing so he can speak in the synagogues. We also see this in his discourse with Pharisees and Scribes. They wouldn't bother with a nobody. They were intensely interested in engaging with Jesus because he was a real threat.

  • Intro to Real Bible Rob, Information Technology and Ordination

    Send us Fan Mail

    Information overload is the defining part of our era. This directly relates to religion and the Bible. What can you trust or not trust? What is belief vs. faith? In this podcast I describe the reliability of information, referencing Yuval Noah Harari's new book "Nexus" and then I describe how it relates to the ordination process and ministry. Faith is more important than belief. A Statement of Faith is more important that subscribing to a list of beliefs and doctrines. Then, I give a short bio about my ministry path and my motivations for starting this podcast.
