Welcome to a special episode of "Theology Unplugged" with Michael Patton. In this heartfelt and personal episode titled "My Two Moms," I reflect on the passing of my mother this week and the profound journey our family has experienced over the last 20 years.

In 2006, after my sister tragically took her own life, my mother suffered an aneurysm that changed her significantly. Since then, I've had what feels like two different moms. During this episode, I share the funeral service I delivered, recounting the struggles, pain, and moments of grace our family has faced. I also discuss the challenges my two remaining sisters and I have endured and how our faith has sustained us through these times.

Join me as I open up about our story of suffering, resilience, and the unending hope we find in our Christian faith.

Welcome to the twenty-fourth episode of our special series "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. In this episode, we delve into postmodern epistemology, tracing the history of epistemology in the Western Church to understand how we arrived at a postmodern, relativistic worldview.

Our goal is to develop a sympathetic understanding of why people think the way they do today, rather than merely criticizing their views. While there will be plenty to critique, it's crucial to first comprehend the reasons behind these beliefs. By the end of this session, we aim to cultivate empathy for those holding postmodern perspectives.

We'll be using the "Stage of Truth," a framework from the theology program, to guide our discussion. Join us as we explore this critical aspect of epistemology and seek to understand the evolving nature of truth.

Welcome to the twenty-third episode of our special series "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. In this episode, we dive into the topic of epistemology, exploring what it is and the nature of knowledge.

We'll discuss the importance of epistemology and how it affects us as Christians. Epistemology is something that Christians rarely think about, yet it is a concept we use every day. We will examine various perspectives on epistemology, including relativism, subjectivism, objectivism, perspectivism, and pragmatism, and discuss how each viewpoint justifies knowledge. Understanding these different approaches helps us better grasp how knowledge is perceived and applied in our faith.

Join us for this enlightening session as we explore the foundational aspects of knowledge and its implications for theology. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series.

Welcome to the twenty-second episode of our special series "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. In this episode, we will take a brief look at the fourth commandment before diving into an in-depth discussion on how Christ interpreted the Bible during the Sermon on the Mount, specifically in Matthew chapter 5.

We'll explore how Jesus highlighted the principles behind the laws, helping people understand that they were often misinterpreting the law by focusing only on its cultural mandates. By examining Christ's teachings, we'll see how He urged a deeper, more principled approach to the law, rather than merely fulfilling it in a rigid, specific form.

Join us for this illuminating session as we uncover the true intent behind the commandments and learn how to apply these timeless principles in our lives today. Make sure to catch up on previous episodes to fully grasp the ongoing series.

Welcome to the twenty-first episode of our special series "Through Theology in a Year" on the "Theology Unplugged" podcast. This episode continues our exploration of the theological method, specifically focusing on the three-step process: understanding what it meant, what it means, and how it applies.

In this session, we will apply this method to the third commandment, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain" (Exodus 20:7). We'll explore what this commandment meant in the cultural and historical context of ancient Israel, its timeless theological significance, and how it applies to us today.
