  • Podcast 369 -- Leave a Light Footprint Matthew 6:19-21, John 6:12-13, 1 Timothy 6:17-19
    2025/05/20
    How should Christians push against the modern "throwaway" culture that encourages both overconsumption and waste, be it with our land, material goods or human relationships? We discuss the virtue of simplicity in choosing value over cheapness, in living fruitfully but sustainably, and cultivating Bible-based stewardship in all we care for.

  • Podcast 368 -- Wait 'Til Your Father Gets Home Mark 1:14-15, Matthew 26:63-64
    2025/05/13
    The fellows talk about the Second Coming, starting with the question of why there has to be one. Why wasn't God's plan of salvation and restoration accomplished all at once? Was the doctrine of the Second Coming tacked on after it became obvious the lion was not laying down with the lamb? If Jesus inaugurated the Kingdom of God on Earth, where is it?

  • Podcast 367 -- NIV, RSV, KJV or Reader's Digest? 2 Timothy 3:14-17
    2025/05/06
    Despite being a Bible study podcast, we've never taken up the fact of the sheer number of translations available. We remedy that oversight this week with a discussion about the history of Biblical translation, memories of Bibles we grew up with and what our preferences are now.

  • Podcast 365 -- Father, Son and Holy Spirit 1 John 4:7-15
    2025/04/22
    Author Timothy Keller says it is the Trinity that makes God capable of love. It is a mystery, to be sure, and not always explicit, but from Genesis 1:1 on, scripture shows us one God but in three “persons” which all support and give freely in relationship with each other. Therefore, love began, or better still, has always existed, within the creator God himself, an idea unique to Christianity. We wrap up our study of Keller's The Reason for God with a discussion of the significance of a Trinitarian God. This week's podcast is sponsored by Magic Mind, the mental performance shot.

  • Podcast 354 -- What If...The Resurrection Really Happened? 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, 12-14, 20-23
    2025/04/15
    Jesus' resurrection is a binary proposition: it either happened or it didn't. And there's nothing to support the idea that the testimony Gospels and the Apostle Paul should be taken as symbolic or metaphorical: they all clearly testify to Jesus' bodily resurrection concrete terms. But to accept the truth of the resurrection is to confront so many implications about God that it's no wonder that so many of us, Christians included, want to pretend scripture doesn't mean what it says. With Easter this week, we continue our look at Timothy Keller's The Reason for God and discuss his salient points about the reality of the Resurrection and how they should inform the Christian mindset.

  • Podcast 363 -- The Cost of Forgiveness Ephesians 1:7-10
    2025/04/08
    “Why did Jesus have to die?” is a question author Timothy Keller heard more often than “Does God exist?” To skeptics and, if we're honest, some Christians, the crucifixion is confusing, if not outright cruel. If God is so loving, they ask, why did he demand such a horrific sacrifice from his purported son? He’s God, after all, why can’t he just wave his hand and declare everyone forgiven? Join us as we continue our look at Keller's The Reason for God.

  • Podcast 362 -- Are the Gospels Factual Accounts? Mark 2:1-12; 14:55-56. 60-64
    2025/04/01
    Popular novels and movies like The Da Vinci Code have contributed to the belief that the gospels and letters in the New Testament Bible were either embellished or made-up completely. Academics, including contemporary Christians like John Dominic Crossan, tell us Jesus' miracles, let alone, his Resurrection, could not have happened, and it wasn't until the 4th Century that the Church declared Jesus was Son of God. We discuss Tim Keller's challenge to this popular assertion, starting with the startling lack of evidence to support this narrative. How reliable are the Gospel accounts? Was Jesus simply a "wise teacher" who voiced some interesting ideas, or did he actually claim to be the Son of God? Is it possible to separate Jesus' teachings with the cosmological aspects he claims they have?
