1. Everything seems right - God has planted a vineyard and tended it, but then bad, stinky fruit emerges.
  2. A realistic and encouraging episode. If we seek peace alone, we will never find it, because only Christ is the Prince of Peace.
  3. It's inevitable, that feeling like God has turned His face away from us.
  4. Kick Out the Jams. In this episode, we focus on the raw, real work of life in the parish—the ordinary burdens, the hidden insecurities, and the quiet faith that holds it all together. We explore the distinction between philosophy and theology and why attempts to fuse them often leave both diminished. There’s talk of reformation—its drama, its necessity, and its cost. We reflect on the pervasive victim-perpetrator dynamic that shapes so much of modern life and how the gospel when rightly preached, breaks that cycle. At the heart of it all is this: the power of Christ’s mercy to open what we’ve shut tight, to drive out the bitterness we’ve made into habit, and to speak a word stronger than shame.
  5. Today on the Christian History Almanac, we wish a happy birthday to the “Godfather of Gospel Music."
  6. As we move towards the end of the Song of Songs, once again we are confronted with the depths and riches of God's perfect love for us.
  7. "Better than I deserve" is a statement rich with meaning for those of us who have heard the good news and believed on the Lord Jesus Christ.
  8. In this episode of the Thinking Fellows podcast, Caleb Keith, Adam Francisco, Bruce Hillman, and Scott Keith discuss the relevance of the gospel in contemporary society.
  9. That we are the "bride of Christ", this thought can get us confused and uneasy, as in "why would He want to have anything to do with me?"
  10. As we enter Lent, we are so blessed to know that the scriptures give us a script to speak to God about our concerns and despair.
