Here is the first in our series on topics in Biblical Theology. Biblical Theology seeks to understand how ideas and concepts are progressively revealed in the Bible. Today I will trace the concept of creation through the story-line of the Bible with Josiah and Jenna to see how this theme helps us understand the Bible.

A helpful introductory resource for studying Biblical Theology is The Whole Message of the Bible in 16 Words by Chris Bruno.

The Spurgeon Quote of the Episode is from a sermon titled "Cleansing: A Covenant Blessing" in the Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit volume 32.

Caroline, Jenna, and Josiah talk with me about identity, where we tend to find it, and about how we can either be in Christ as part of a new creation or in Adam living for ourselves. This begins a new season that will see two episodes a month. One will feature a conversation like this and the second will be a 1-on-1 discussion about a topic of interest.

Jenna, Josiah, and I talk about approaching our school work wisdom. We get into both the assignments facing us where we are and how we think about planning for the future.

My friend Joshua and I talk about reading the Old Testament. We cover some of the challenges in reading the Old Testament along with a few of the major story-lines in the Bible that have their roots in the OT.

Caroline, Jenna, Josiah, and I talk about what we've experienced during our time of isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic. We talk about how we can be putting others first and ways we hope to grow from our time being separated.

With a slight change in format, Caroline, Jenna, and Josiah join me to talk about what impacted them from the first four episodes. Going forward, you can expect several episodes with two or three of them with a few one-on-one conversations mixed in.

I speak with Zach and Josiah about the problem of lust and pornography. We try to provide some helpful advice for those struggling in these areas and encourage you to keep up the fight of faith.

Today I talk with Josiah about how to choose a career that honors God.

Today I talk with Jenna about how Christians can approach media wisely. While these types of conversations often focus on the content, Jenna and I discuss how entertainment media fit into our schedule and what benefit entertainment can have for Christians.

I'm joined by Caroline and we talk about following Jesus in the mundane tasks of ordinary life, both before and after the social distancing practices caused by COVID-19.
