  • Podcast 401 -- The Prayer Book of the Bible Psalms 141:1-2

    Podcast 401 -- The Prayer Book of the Bible Psalms 141:1-2
    Apr 14 2026
    We begin a study of Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Psalms: The Prayer Book of the Bible with an overview of the Book of Psalms, what they are and how Bonhoeffer sees them connect with Jesus and the New Testament. Is the Lord's Prayer the 151st Psalm? The Psalms are prophetic, but we debate Bonhoeffer's assertion that we need Jesus' spiritual presence to pray them correctly. But we agree that Christians should take a renewed look at the Psalter and the breadth and power of both the emotions and faith expressed therein. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Podcast 399 -- The Crucified God 1 Corinthians 1:17-25
    Mar 31 2026
    What exactly do Christians mean when we refer to "the Work of the Cross?" In our 2026 Holy Week and Easter podcast, we discuss the cosmic significance of that fateful day Christ was crucified--and why it was much more than simply an atonement for sin. Conversely, why do some Christians want to "take Jesus off the cross" rather than confront the reality it represents. Get ready for some deep theology as we look at why we commemorate the Cross not as a gruesome tragedy, but the greatest victory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Podcast 398 -- The American Christian Persecution Complex Matthew 5:10-11, John 15:18-20

    Podcast 398 -- The American Christian Persecution Complex Matthew 5:10-11, John 15:18-20
    Mar 24 2026
    Given the level of persecution Christian face in other parts of the world, is it arrogant or even shameful for any American Christian to say they are persecuted? In a spirited debate, we ask if Evangelicals are mistaking loss of cultural influence for an anti-Christian attack. Do gay marriage and DEI initiatives constitute "soft persecution" against the believers, or does it simply reflect the growing secularization of society? And even if they hold Christianity in contempt, do we really need the approval of TV pundits, TikTok influencers and Ivy League professors? Why? Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Podcast 397 -- Kingdom Now, Kingdom to Come Luke 17:20-37

    Podcast 397 -- Kingdom Now, Kingdom to Come Luke 17:20-37
    Mar 17 2026
    When asked when the Kingdom of God would come, Jesus said it was already here, in our midst. He added, however, there would be a second coming, which would be sudden and involve judgment. We debate whether this passage describes the Rapture and which group, the taken or the left behind, are the ones who are saved. We explore this uniquely Christian idea of the "Now and Not Yet" and exactly what our role is in this Kingdom this time between. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Podcast 396 -- "I Can Explain It For You, But I Can't Understand It For You" Isaiah 35:5-6, 61:1, Luke 7:17-22, 11:29-32
    Mar 10 2026
    In Jesus' time, people continually asked for signs that identified him as the Messiah and Son of God. Christians continue to do so today. Jesus said he was the only sign they needed, although he provided many. Are we too busy worried about the destination to see the signs? Why do we always want one more?

    Podcast 395 -- God's Mountaintop Staff Meeting -- Luke 9:28-36
    Mar 3 2026
    The Transfiguration is one of the most mystical moments in the New Testament, perhaps second only to the Resurrection itself. Yet its scope is too often narrowed to just another story about Peter's cluelessness. There's far more going to this mountaintop revelation, a watershed moment in the entire Biblical narrative.

  • Men Matter -- Man Up Spiritual Oasis and Cattle

    Men Matter -- Man Up Spiritual Oasis and Cattle
    Feb 24 2026
    The regular podcast takes a break this week and Steve and Robert step in to talk about the Christian sensibility and positive masculinity that runs through the Paramount Plus series Landman. We believe the series offers a degree of authenticity that Christian men today can recognize and identify with and tie our discussion to a series of podcasts we did last fall on Brant Hansen's The Men We Need. What makes Sheridan’s male characters feel real is how they struggle with emotions, relationships, and consequences of their choices. They’re not emotionless stoics; they grieve, they doubt, they care for family and community, and they often fail before they succeed. In Landman, men struggle with wives, sons, fathers, authority and legacy, but the show never implies that these struggles are evidence of moral failure or emotional deficiency. Join us for an interesting take on the first two seasons of this remarkable show. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
