Ryan is joined by Ellie Thomas, Mary Hagan, Jackson McNeece, and Forrest Jones to name the realities of dating of Baylor. As we start a new series on dating at FBC, Ryan quizzes the students to get a better perspective on the status quo, so that he can better speak into their context in the upcoming teaching episodes.

The first week of our new series on dating begins with a question: why date? Ryan challenges us to discern what’s at stake for us in dating. We can be marriage minded, rather than avoidant or obsessed, and we should date with purpose rather than dating for purpose.

As we launch a new semester of college ministry, Ryan takes us through Acts 10, the story of Peter and Cornelius, to show that God is always present and already at work in the lives of every person we know. How does this shape the way we look to spread what we have with others? The answer is found within the idea of “presence.”

From the series “The Politics of Jesus.” Ryan leads us to ask, “What is the role of justice in the Christian faith? Should followers of Jesus focus on changing the world by changing people’s hearts, or by changing social structures? What’s more important: evangelism or justice?”

From the new series “The Politics of Jesus.” Ryan leads to us to ask, “What does Jesus have to do with politics? How should his followers think about an upcoming election, but even more importantly, our political responsibility every day? Should we choose a party, avoid politics, or do we need a totally new political imagination?”

From the series “Upside Down Church.” Why does Jesus say so much weird stuff in the Sermon on the Mount? Isn’t he worried people won’t want to follow his way? Ryan encourages us to resist the urge to be “relevant,“ and to keep the church weird instead.
