April 13, 2021 What Does "Son of Man" Mean?
"Son of Man" is usually thought to refer to Jesus' humanity, but its' theological background is found in Daniel 7. We see in the Gospels that this phrase brings many of Jesus' titles and roles, and allows him to define his mission and role in the world.

April 06, 2021 What does "Son of God" Mean?
This week on the Pondercast, Perry and Drew take a look at one of the main titles given to Jesus by others in the Bible: the Son God. While seemingly straight forward, Drew and Perry seek to find the true meaning, or meanings, behind this title, while still being true and honest with the biblical text. They address the problem of biological sonship, while looking into further cultural and linguistic contexts to help aid in the conversation. They also talk about the multi-dimensional aspect of "Son of God." This episode is one that contains a lot more than what meets the eye and is part one of a two episodes series on Jesus' titles, "Son of God" and "Son of Man." We hope you enjoy this episode.

April 06, 2021 Zombies at the Crucifixion?
Matthew's account of the crucifixion contains one of the weirdest passages in the Bible. It speaks of earthquakes, ripped curtains, and dead people being brought back to life. How in the world do we understand this weird passage? Drew and Perry discuss whether this actually happened, how we understand the timeline proposed, and if zombies roamed Jerusalem in the first century. Let's get pondering!

March 16, 2021 Jesus in the Gospel of John
Welcome to the finale of the mini-series on looking at Jesus within each Gospel account. This week Drew and Perry dive into the Gospel of John and discuss its immense theological implications and the differences from the other Gospel accounts. They discuss "the Word" in John 1, the metaphorical language used to describe Jesus, the atonement; and also struggle to answer the question of: Did God change when Jesus became a man? All these questions asked and..... kind of answered. Enjoy the episode!

February 19, 2021 Worship and Church Unity (The PonderChat #1)
Welcome to The PonderChat, episode 1! What is The PonderChat? It's an extension of The Pondercast, where we have longer conversations than our half-hour episodes of The Pondercast, which we hope to do once a month.
On the first episode of The PonderChat Drew is joined with good friend Shad Hodgman to discuss the relationship between worship and church unity. Do the origins of a song determine whether it should be sung in church? Further, what is worth leaving a church over? And, how do we choose what songs we sing? And what do we think about Hillsong, Bethel, and Elevation Church? All these questions answered and a whole lot more in the first episode of The PonderChat!
