Steve Brown Etc.

In a time of ubiquitous porn, "harmless" hookups, and naive expectations that our marriages will complete us, is it any wonder that our families are falling apart? Can God's radical grace really heal our radically broken relationships? And what does love have to do with it?

Join Jeff Bethke on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of the new book he wrote with his wife Allysa, ​Love That Lasts: How We Discovered God's Better Way for Love, Dating, Marriage, and Sex. "Prodigal partners" and uptight "true love waiters," there is a third way.

Jeff Bethke is the New York Times bestselling author of Jesus > Religion and It’s Not What You Think. He and his wife Alyssa make YouTube videos watched by hundreds of thousands of viewers each month and host a podcast about relationships and faith that can be found on iTunes.

500 years ago, on October 31st, a young monk named Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the Wittenberg church door and changed the world. If someone played their cards right, they could parlay that fact into impressive book sales. But it would have to be someone famous for writing biographies of notable Christians, preferably someone with a large platform. Hmm, who could pull that off? 

This week, join Eric Metaxas on Steve Brown, Etc. as we commemorate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation by helping him push his new book, Martin Luther: The Man Who Rediscovered God and Changed the World. Seriously, you'll have a lot of fun, learn things about Luther nobody else ever told you, and hopefully shell out $27.

Eric Metaxas is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Bonhoeffer: Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy and Amazing Grace: William Wilberforce and the Heroic Campaign to End Slavery. He's also the host of the nationally syndicated daily radio program, The Eric Metaxas Show. (Wouldn't it be kinda weird if he wasn't?)

Join Mark Galli on Steve Brown, Etc. for a discussion of his new book, Karl Barth: An Introductory Biography for Evangelicals.  Adultery, the doctrine of election, and even a theological smack down on Hitler, this episode has it all.

When a child who was raised in a Christian home leaves the faith, parents are heartbroken and often confused about how to handle the new family dynamic. Things get even more difficult when one of the parents is a famous evangelical pastor and the child who left spent his life in Christian ministry.

If you’re a Christian, Heaven is not your eternal home. Jesus spoke of “the renewal of all things.” The Bible says believers are destined for the New Earth, and that should fill you with hope!

Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge on Steve Brown, Etc. as he discusses his new book, All Things New: Heaven, Earth, and the Restoration of Everything You Love. If you’re bored by the prospect of an eternal worship service in the clouds, get ready to find hope anchored in God’s promise that the world (including you) will be made new.

If you could go back in time to when you first became a Christian and impart some wisdom to yourself, what would it be? Maybe you'd advise against wearing that "turn or burn" T-shirt with the Energizer Bunny on it. You could comfort your zealous young self who just threw away his entire collection of secular CDs with the knowledge that one day God would send Spotify to make things right. Just think of all the pain that could be avoided.

Join Alex Early on Steve Brown, Etc., because until we invent time travel, the next best thing is his book, The New Believer's Guide to the Christian Life: What Will Change, What Won't, and Why It Matters. The Christianese Glossary alone is worth the price of admission.

2017 marks the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, when Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the church door in Wittenberg and Protestants proclaimed that sinners are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. That's worth celebrating!
