Redeemed Humanity

This week we're continuing asking that big, big question: why? And today we're asking "why Jesus?" There are a lot of people out there asking to be followed, many perhaps worth following, some...maybe, worth worshipping...so why Jesus? What is it about Jesus that allows him to create a world-changing movement, and why would we personally choose Jesus?

We're continuing our "why" series and asking one of the other biggest questions regarding the Christian faith: why the Bible? Why should we read this super old book? What does it have to say about my life? Is it the truth? Wait...what about yoga, should Christians do that? 

We're back and we're picking up a new series called "why?" We're going to dig into the why behind some of the most basic and assumed things about following Jesus, and the first question we'll ask why of is: the Church. Why do we have this thing called the church? Why does the church do some of the weird stuff it does? Should I care about the church?

This episode, Harry, Chris, and Hayden take a ship to a galaxy near and dear to our hearts in the Star Wars canon universe. We discuss a bit of how it ties to the Bible, but mostly just talk about what we like in Star Wars, how it could have gone, and who it's made us to be.

Harry, Chris, and Hayden close the scroll (how this exactly gets closed is explored in the final moments) on Isaiah and do it in a way that can only be described as sing-song. This final section of Isaiah is packed with hyperlinks and messianic language. A lifetime could be dedicated to this section, but we're dedicating an hour! Thanks for joining us!

In this episode Harry, Hayden, and Chris discuss some of the most popular and controversial texts in the entire Bible: Isaiah 40-55. Some call this the Third Gospel, some call it a forbidden chapter. Either way, you know that means it's important. So thanks for taking the time to talk it through with us, we'd love to hear your thoughts!

We keep running through Isaiah by picking up in a really interesting section that has a good narrative and seems really applicable to our modern context. Chapters 28-39 make up a very compelling story that shows two sides of a coin and where one King stands.

Chris, Harry, and Hayden get into the next section of Isaiah which is one of the tougher sections to work through as it can seem very harsh and destructive. What do we make of that and how do we work through it in a way that makes sense from a Christian perspective? These are important questions that we want to work through together.

We finally actually dig in to Isaiah with the opening section of chapters 1-12. There is so much going on in this book, so we hope that this little break down will give you some confidence to open it up yourself without too much fear of the unknown. Truly, we pull out just a tiny amount of the wisdom and gospel vibrations that echo through this section, but hopefully it inspires you to find your own!

We're kicking off a new adventure here at the  Good Good Pod and it's taken us to Isaiah! But what is Isaiah, why would you ever spend your time reading this big ole thing, and what does it have for us today? Well, let's get a little bit acquainted, shall we?
