One of the most common questions I get from new Christians or Christians who are returning to the Faith is about Bible translations. Many people are confused about why there are so many and what are the differences between them. In this teaching, I present a very basic overview of the major issues. Toward the end, I share some things to look for in a good study Bible.

Wow! What a year season 6 has been! (Who remembers our season kickoff with Katie Faust?) Don't miss our season finale. We are doing our annual Ask Us Anything show, along with some Walking in Unity related giveaways. It's going to be a lot of fun!

Recently, our friend Natasha Crain sent us a text message asking us for practical ideas for biblically-based justice ministries, besides opening a food pantry. We quickly bombarded her with an avalanche of ideas. We thought it would be fun to turn this text string into a podcast. Let's put on our sanctified imagination and think about some ways that Christians can speak prophetically and help to push back the darkness and bring in the light of the Gospel.

Discussions about justice have become very confusing. On one side, some Christians think justice is simply a cover story for Marxism. Others want to fly all kinds of progressive policies under the banner of justice. In this teaching, I outline four critical standards of biblical justice, along with three practical examples of how to live it out in your everyday life.

How can a Christian go to a Christian college or seminary... and end up actually leaving the faith? There is a sort of an elephant in the room when Christians go to look into seminaries: there are a lot of identity politics and cultural ideologies that are unbiblical. I recently talked with Melissa Dougherty about this phenomenon, what to look out for, and what to do about it.

Our friend, Delano Squires (from the Heritage Foundation), thinks there is a very specific formula for cultural renewal. We are doing a deep dive on the root causes of our cultural collapse and the pathway out of the mess.

Forgiveness can be a very confusing idea. And bad teaching about it can inflict undue pain and trauma. If you've ever wondered about how to interpret Matthew 18 and the issue of "church discipline," then you won't want to miss this teaching. Part 3 of a 3-part teaching series.

One of the projects that fund-raised for back on Giving Tuesday 2022 was to produce a short mini-doc about our origins story. It's finally here! And we are so excited to share it with you! If you've ever wondered how we became friends, this is the story.
