  • Ep. 3 You Are in the Ministry

    How do the members of a church nourish each other? Ephesians4:11-16 and Colossians 2:19 call all believers to serve one another, but whatexactly does that look like? In this episode, I share the vision the NewTestament casts for this kind of ministry. While this is an “ideal” picture, itis a goal the Lord calls us to pursue as we rest in the finished work ofChrist.

  • Ep. 2 That's "Unbiblical."

    The term "unbiblical" can get tossed around in discussions about convictions or various practices. The problem, however, is that the phrase can be misleading. I delve into the two senses of "unbiblical" and provide examples of how we need to think carefully about the words we say and how we use Scripture. We must come to the Bible in humble submission rather than trying to make God's Word support our own ideas.

    Going forward, the podcast is shifting away from seasonsinto stand alone episodes. The unifying feature is the goal of showing how thegospel impacts every aspect of our lives. I give a few examples of upcomingepisodes, and I also share about some novels I’m working on.

  • S.4 E.39 Truce Podcast

    This is a special interview with Chris Staron, the host of

    Truce Podcast. His high-quality show has helped me understand the complexities
    of several issues regarding culture wars. Chris has much to offer, and I highly
    encourage you to check out the interview and subscribe to his show.

  • S.4 E.38 Called to Be With Him

    The call to discipleship is essentially a call to fellowship

    with Jesus. As we are with him, he transforms us and sends us out to share the message
    with others. This call to be in relationship with the Triune God is a theme
    that runs throughout the Bible. From beginning to end, God is calling people
    into a deep, personal fellowship with himself. What a glorious thought, and one
    that impacts the way we pursue discipleship.

    Faith,” by Michael Reeves.

  • S.4 E.37 Privileged Exiles

    In the midst of the emotions of the election, we need an

    anchor of hope. That hope is Jesus and the coming kingdom. The Bible calls us
    to recognize we are simply exiles here on earth as we await our true home. We
    seek the welfare of the land we live in, but we don’t get too comfortable here.
    This offers hope and perspective in an emotionalay-charged election season.

  • S.4 E.36 Two Rebellious Sons

    The story of the prodigal son is actually the story of two

    rebellious children. We don’t often think about that because the older brother
    cloaked his inner state with outward decency. Even so, he still stood in need
    of forgiveness, just as much as his younger brother. This episode explores both
    types of rebellion and points to the grace of the Father for all who repent. I
    also share how I bring these themes out in my upcoming book, “Enough: The Story
    of a Modern Prodigal.”

  • S.4 E.35 Approve What is Excellent

    When it comes to art, how do we “approve what is excellent?”

    (Phil. 1:9). Excellence involves both content and craft/skill. This flows from
    the fact that the Lord creates for beauty and for function, as well as from the
    fact that God Himself is beautiful. In our art, we should seek to reflect the
    fullness of God’s nature, both by creating Christ-honoring content, and doing
    so with Christ-exalting skill.

  • S.4 E.34 "One With My Lord" Review

    “One With My Lord” by Sam Allberry is an excellent book

    delving into our union with Christ. The author clearly and compellingly
    explains a different aspect of this truth in each of the eight chapters. I give
    a brief review of the book and its highlights in this episode. The book is one I
    highly recommend.
