1. Kelsi chats with the Reverend Jacob Smith about the authority of Scripture - how we define it and what it means for us - both Christian and non-Christian.
  2. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-NINE, Mike, Wade, and Greg (should he just replace Jason longterm?) discuss the image of God.
  3. In this episode of Tough Text, Scott Keith and Daniel Emery Price discuss the parable of the rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16, emphasizing the importance of understanding it as a parable rather than a literal account.
  4. In episode TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-EIGHT, Mike, Jason, and Wade build on our previous two episodes on travel, books and language and time and space. Where is God present?
  5. Dr. Paulson is back to give commentary on his Luther's Outlaw God series of books.
  6. Just My Imagination. In this episode, we read Eugene Peterson’s book, Under the Unpredictable Plant, and discuss theological imagination at length. What are the consequences when the church takes its cues from a culture with no imagination? Can Christians tell biblical stories without a theological imagination? What happens when the earthly and heavenly are divided by a lack of imagination into merely rationalized explanations?
  7. In this episode, Gretchen Ronnevik and Katie Koplin talk about the impact of story on our theological understanding, and the use of story in the life of Christians.
  8. In the first episode of 2024, Kelsi chats with 1517 Scholar in Residence, Chad Bird, about the benefits to reading the Bible in a Year, some helpful and guiltless ways to approach this goal and reading Scripture in general.
  9. How are we filled with the knowledge and spirtiual wisdom and understanding of God?
  10. The wicked and arrogant think they can prey upon the poor with impunity. Not so. Chad meditates on God hiding himself, it seems especially in times of trouble. Lament, interrogation of God and David’s frustration help us to see that though the work dis full injustice, God is closer than we think, and God invites us to cry and complain to Him. Izzi Ray sings “Why”
  11. As we discuss ways that prosperity gospel sneaks into the family, we decided to start off by looking at the book of Proverbs, as these are often the verses that are cherry picked and often used to take prosperity gospel ideas in regard to the family.
  12. The power of the words that procede from the mouth of God. Wow, Chad has lots of gems in this podcast. Rebekah Caggegi sings "I Love Your Words".
