      • 73. Car Ride Mailbag #1: How To Read the Bible

        On this week’s episode:

        • Rick and Rob record on the road trip back from Myrtle Beach!
        • They both get a great deal at Aldi.
        • The guys dig into the mailbag and discuss how to read the Bible (big thanks to Mike Spiriro for sending in the question).
        • They walk through the following steps:

          First, we must understand the genre of the text:

          • Law
          • History
          • Wisdom
          • Poetry
          • Prophecy/Apocalyptic
          • Gospel
          • Letters/Epistles
          • Second, we must understand the context of the passage (“3 Horizons” approach):

            • 1st Horizon: Literary Context
            • 2nd Horizon: Historical Context
            • 3rd Horizon: Canonical Context

                • 70. Christians, Patriotism, and Independence Day

                  How should we balance love for country and love for God? Should we not be patriotic? Should we not be proud of the country in which we live?

                  How can Christians both be patriotic and keep love for country in its proper place?

                  As Independence Day approaches in the United States, the topic today is focused on Christians and patriotism. This will probably be entirely uncontroversial…

                  Plus, the guys discuss Jerry Falwell Jr.'s recent Twitter antics.

                • 69. Jesus as Priest

                  What does it mean to have Jesus as our High Priest? Why do we need a high priest? How does Christ fulfill this role perfectly?

                  The guys discuss these topics and more in today’s ep as they continue their series on the offices of Christ.

                  • NBA Finals - Game 6!

                    The guys take a minute to riff on the NBA Finals, but rather than do it alone, they invite two friends into the studio!

                    Ben Nielson (Golden State Warriors fan) and Bo Boucher (Toronto Raptors fan) each give their respective opinions on the recent events in the finals and the NBA at large.

                    Just a fun episode for game 6 of the NBA Finals.

                    Go Raptors! #NBAfinals #WeTheNorth #simpletheologypod
