So We Speak

Obadiah is one of the more obscure books in the Old Testament. Although it only takes up one page of your Bible, it's an important book. In this episode we discuss the minor prophets, the historical situation Obadiah was speaking into, and helpful suggestions for reading it today. 

We're going deep this week on the podcast. In the first episode all together, we're discussing open theism - the belief that God cannot know the actions of free moral agents before they choose. What should Christians make of open theism? 

Deuteronomy gets a bad rap, but it is the centerpiece of the Old Testament. This week, we're talking through the Romans of the Old Testament, and one of the most important books in Jesus' life and ministry. 

In this episode, we're talking with Blake Choisnet about how to evangelize and disciple in the corporate world. Here are some resources mentioned in our conversation:

• Every Good Endeavor - Tim Keller

In 1 Corinthians, Paul gets really practical. He shows us what it's like to take biblical wisdom and apply it to everyday decisions and problems. From lawsuits to sexuality to spiritual gifts, the principles Paul applies are still instructive for us. 

In the future, we plan to do a couple of episodes on the spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12-14. For the time being - check out our 8-part blog series on the gifts, "In Spirit and In Truth."

We’re back with another leadership podcast with Terry Feix. This week, he covers defining your goals and values, working with difficult teams, and how to stick it out in tough seasons at work.

Mayor Pete is taking the world by storm - and there's something interesting about his candidacy - he's making a big deal about his faith and his sexuality. This week, Terry Feix walks through Buttigieg's statements and the narrative that supports them. 

Here are the articles mentioned in the podcast:

• The Briefing, April 26, 2019 - Albert Mohler

What are the keys to organizational leadership? What's different about being a Christian leader? In this episode, Terry Feix walks through his leadership journey in business and in the church.

The gospel of Mark is the least studied of the gospels, but with a little bit of study, the pages of this book come alive. In this reading guide we discuss the author, audience, theology and themes, the longer ending, handling snakes, and the naked man who makes an appearance in chapter 15. Open the gospel of Mark with us and join the discussion.
