The Split Frame of Reference Podcast

In this episode, Allison and Nick complete their brief series on Colossians 3 with a precise exegesis of Col 3:18-4:1. Apologies in advance for Nolan's chirping and screaming at various points. He is a baby, after all. Thank you for your support during this time. If you want to support us on patreon, click here!

Nick and Allison and Nugs are back! Join us for a verse-by-verse walk through of Colossians 3:1-17. Usually 3:18-19 is the focus in the evangelical gender debate, but we felt like vv.1-17 had a lot more to offer contextually and spiritually. So, join us for the first part of a two-parter as we prepare the way for an egalitarian reading of Colossians 3:18-4:1.

In this episode, Allison and Nick talk with their friend Dr. Ingrid Faro. Dr. Faro is an Old Testament scholar and theologian who has done extensive work on the problem of evil in Genesis. She has Old Testament studies and Hebrew taught at Northern Seminary, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, North Park Theological Seminary, and The Scandinavian School of Theology. You can also find her on Linkedin.

However, there is so much more to what Ingrid has done for the church: her story of faith is shattering and powerful, as God has moved her through a time of deep darkness. May it bless you!

Ingrid has a major monograph coming out from Lexham press about the subject of God and evil and Genesis! Keep your eyes peeled! We will share it on social media when we get a pre-order!

*A note, we talk about some Biblical words that are considered vulgar in their context. Just a heads up.

Allison and Nick are overjoyed to have on Kristen Padilla. Kristen is a graduate of Beeson Divinity School and and is a mother, wife, and minister of the Gospel and we talk about a lot of really interesting this! More specifically, we talk about her book Now that I am Called: A Guide for Women Discerning a Call to Ministry, which is an excellent book that you should pick up! Her book is so important to constructing a theology of vocation and calling, specifically for women who feel called to Christian ministry.

Topics include the gender of Jesus, the incarnation, a theology of calling, T.F. Torrance, parenting, and the nature of how to be the church in this day and age - complementarians and egalitarians together!
