Theology Central episodes

  • Ruth 2: Kinsman
    What Is a Kinsman-Redeemer For?
    Before Ruth introduces a solution, it introduces a category. This episode explains what a kinsman-redeemer is in the Bible, what problem this institution exists to solve, and why Ruth 2:1 is opening a legal possibility—not announcing redemption yet. Part of The Ruth Problem? series.

  • Ruth 2: Still Naomi
    When Ruth chapter 2 opens, the story does not move forward into redemption—it moves back to Naomi. In this episode, we examine why Ruth 2:1 deliberately re-centers the story on bitterness, loss, and unresolved covenant tension.

  • The Boaz Problem?
    Ruth 2 introduces Boaz — and with him, a major interpretive problem. Is Boaz really a picture of Christ, or has sermon tradition gone beyond what the text supports?

  • Taylor Swift: Opalite
    A line-by-line analysis of "Opalite" from Life of a Showgirl. This episode examines themes of repetition, emotional hunger, endurance, and transformation, using the song's imagery to explore what it means to survive the storm and see the sky differently afterward — without biography or speculation.

  • AI vs Mosaic Authorship?
    Headlines claim AI has challenged Mosaic authorship of the Bible. In this episode, I explain what the AI research actually says (and doesn't say), why the story matters, and then do something rarely done: I walk through every New Testament reference to Moses and ask what is explicitly claimed about authorship—and what is not. Before reacting, let's read the text carefully.
