April 17 Is Humans Riding Dinosaurs the Real Purpose of Genesis 1? - The UnFragmented Bible, Edition 2
The plain text of Genesis 1:1-2 show that the early chapters of Genesis aren't meant by the authors (or God) to be read as video camera footage, or what Answers in Genesis defines as "real history."
This approach isn't supported by the text and rather than accept the Bible on its terms, forces unbiblical human terms onto it, forcing it to answer questions it was never intended to answer. This has caused us to miss the biblical meaning and purpose of the creation account, but even more concerning, they've been added onto the gospel of Jesus. This has caused many to throw out their faith altogether when they learn scientific and archeological facts later in life that contradict what they were raised in as the inerrant Word of God.
The choice doesn't have to be doubling down on extrabiblical concepts like humans riding dinosaurs and belief in fire-breathing dragons in order to keep the Bible "real history" or throwing the whole Bible (and faith) out as nonsense.

April 01 Ep. 119 - Jalen Seawright of Common Hymnal on Justice, Limits, & Jesus' Kingdom
Noah talks with Jalen Seawright on what justice is, why it's a part of the biblical path of following Jesus, as well as how to find balance with our justice efforts, our own limits, and the ability to enjoy life. Much is discussed of Jesus' kingdom in contrast with the human kingdoms of today, and how we are always trying to get Jesus to fit into our human kingdoms like Christian Nationalism.

Jalen Seawright is a pastor, community activist, and justice advocate based in Metro Detroit, where he lives with his wife, Keyonna, and their three daughters—Karington, Kaidence, and Kyelinn. An accomplished musician, Jalen has faithfully served churches across the country as a worship leader, music director, and preacher. He continues to travel nationally, equipping organizations to leverage the arts in advancing justice. He is also a songwriter and contributor within the Common Hymnal ecosystem. Above all, Jalen is devoted to his family and committed to being the best Black father and proud “girl dad” he can be.
