With the Canadian government changing its stance on recreational marijuana, it only makes sense that we’d want to know the more biological and scientific aspects of it on the body. That’s what this conversation is all about.

May 07, 2018 Episode 121: What Does Marijuana Do to You?
With the Canadian government changing its stance on recreational marijuana, it only makes sense that we’d want to know the more biological and scientific aspects of it on the body. That’s what this conversation is all about. At our recent Let’s Talk: Marijauna event, local family physician, Dr. Lucinda McQuarrie, humbly took to the stage to give a ridiculous amount of information on the physical effects of marijuana. After her 15-minute presentation, we play back two questions from our Q & A period at the same event, talking about the possibility of not getting high when using marijuana, and the merits of marijuana.

Dr. McQuarrie:
Alright, so as a general family physician, I’m definitely not an expert in marijuana. I didn’t learn anything about it in medical school, but every day I encounter people who use or have questions about using. I want to encourage them, and I want to encourage us to have some critical thinking in our informed choices. To do so tonight, I’m just going to go through some of the background information about marijuana and our bodies, and ultimately, I just want God to get the glory for what we do as Christ’s followers.
In preparing for tonight, I asked a colleague of mine who works in youth mental health for some feedback and some insight. He felt that essentially all the facts that he’d read that I had got together would not change anybody’s opinions walking into that event. However, I want to challenge you in that, let’s open our minds. He did want for us to question and examine, what are our motives, our reasons for the use? Is it peer acceptance? Is it pain? Are there emotional issues? Is it just for enjoyment or relaxation?
As I was reflecting on that, I in my mind, kind of continued, as Christians, where should we find the answers to those needs, and what should be our coping mechanisms? However, tonight my job is to talk about the medical and biological properties, so bear with me, there’s a lot.

April 30, 2018 Episode 120: Jesus in the Old Testament (and Applying Jeremiah 29:11)
Why is it important today that the whole Bible, including the Old Testament, speaks to the death and resurrection of Jesus? Why does it matter? Why put in the effort to see Christ in the Old Testament? With us this week is hip-hop artist and author Timothy Brindle, who’s spent years studying this. And since he’s…

April 30, 2018 Episode 120: Jesus in the Old Testament (and Applying Jeremiah 29:11)
Why is it important today that the whole Bible, including the Old Testament, speaks to the death and resurrection of Jesus? Why does it matter? Why put in the effort to see Christ in the Old Testament? With us this week is hip-hop artist and author Timothy Brindle, who’s spent years studying this. And since he’s an artist, he decided to not just write a book about his findings, but to write a correlating album with it. The Unfolding speaks to the unfolding plan of God seen in the Bible. In addition to this, Timothy helps explain and apply the often-confused Jeremiah 29:11.

Who is Our Guest?

Timothy Brindle is the product of God’s Sovereign Grace, as Jesus rescued him while he was a secular battle-rapper a week before 9/11 in 2001. Timothy recently graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary’s Masters of Divinity program where he spent the last 5 years studying the Word of Christ to prepare for life-long ministry in the local church. He is a pastoral intern at Cross Community Church (PCA).

Isaac:

With me today is hip hop artist and author Timothy Brindle. He’s a husband. He’s a father, and he’s just recently graduated from Westminster Theological Seminary’s Master of Divinity program. So it’s great to have you with us today, Timothy.

Timothy:

It’s great to be here, Isaac. Thank you so much for having me.

Isaac:

Just as a way to introduce yourself, who are you? Maybe how did you come to faith in Christ?

Timothy:

Great question. I am a desperate, needy sinner saved by the sovereign grace of God. I was living a life for myself, serving me, myself and I quite intensely, not looking for the Lord. I’m just grateful He was pursuing me, and a week before 9/11, He saved my soul reading His word. This was in the context of doing underground hip hop as a battle rapper in the late 90s, early 2000s, doing graffiti illegally in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. I was in a sinful relationship. Obviously I was dead in sins, but this girl began attending church. At first, I thought that was one of the corniest things in the world, if not the top, the most corny thing.

But I realized, okay, maybe I can win some points with her, so maybe I should go to church since she invited me. Went out and bought some $5.99 Payless shoes, a $6.99 King James Bible, because I had to play the part. I knew I was supposed to dress up for church.

I got there, barely made it there. I basically got lost in southwest Philly trying to find the place on a trolley on a Sunday morning early September 2001, and when I arrived, she wasn’t there. She never showed up, and I sat in the back of the church a little embarrassed that I walked in so late, and a lot of people were staring at me, and I turned to the book of Luke as my older brother’s name is Luke, and I knew my dad named him after the disciple, and so I started reading Luke while the pastor is preaching.

I didn’t get a whole lot out of the sermon that day, but the Spirit of God was working, Isaac. That week, I just couldn’t put the book of Luke down. The Lord had my soul in a place that was ready to see Christ healing lepers, pursuing prostitutes, casting out demons, and I didn’t understand real in depth theology at that point, but I knew I needed Him,

April 09, 2018 Episode 117: A Look at Rob Bell in “The Heretic”
It’s no doubt that Rob Bell has made an impression on the Christian community at large. His multiple books, Nooma video series, and more have been widely engaged in the church. But, are his teachings truthful and helpful? A recent documentary called “The Heretic” has come out that gives a brief explanation of where Rob’s been and what he’s been teaching these last 13 or 14 years. We find that whereas Rob offers a seemingly authentic and genuine version of Christianity, the traditional and orthodox teaching of Christianity far outweighs it with power, beauty, and truth. Author and professor Owen Strachan joins us this week to discuss this documentary.

Who’s Our Guest?
Owen Strachan is associate professor of Christian Theology at The Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, senior fellow at The Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood (where he used to sit as President), and the author of many books, including The Grand Design: Male and Female He Made Them. Owen and his wife Bethany and their children live in Missouri.

Owen has recently written an article on “The Heretic” as well!
