1. In this episode, we have Mike Cosper on from "The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill" and journalist for Christianity Today. We wanted to talk specifically on how law and gospel distinctions have an impact on the culture of a church, in regard to how we treat each other, and how we perceive our pastors.
  2. The Thinking Fellows address the idea that it is good to have children.
  3. When surrounded by evil, it’s easy to think our doom is sure. How we can defend ourselves, how can we judge the wicked, especially when they seem so much smarter,stronger and more confident than us?
  4. In this episode, we talk about the grace given to process emotions. Very often, we struggle with anger, envy, sadness, that are mixed in with sin, trauma, and just normal human emotions.
  5. Everyone is stained by sin. Who can stand before God? Who can dwell in His holy presence? Only the one who walks blamelessly.
  6. We interviewed Kelsi Klembara after she spoke at the recent "Here We Still Stand" Regional Conference in Bentonville, Arkansas. She spoke about the embodiment of our redemption, and how our theology of the body can effect how we view eating disorders, chronic health issues, various health improvement programs and even the body positivity movement.
  7. The Thinking Fellows discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of social media.
  8. We asked Chad Bird about what it means to wrestle with God. Later this summer, he's coming out with his book on Jacob: "Limping with God." Our discussion went from Jacob being renamed to "Israel" which means "wrestles with God" and how wrestling with God was a keyhole to the crucifixion.
  9. We get to hear about the parable of the sower in this episode, as we continue to talk to Daniel Emery Price and Erick Sorensen about their book "Scandalous Stories: a Sort of Commentary on the Parables."
  10. The Fellows respond to comments made by Jordan Peterson on The Joe Rogan Podcast.
