1. Got A Machine Head. In this episode, we read J.R.R. Tolkien’s letter to his son, Christopher, about a question of Genesis’ unfashionable status amongst Christians and those who value beautiful ‘stories.’ He also discusses Eden as it was, as it is to faith, and will be on the last day, the war of the machine, its triumph, and the consequences for modern man.
  2. God never fails, and His great love is FOR US, not against us.
  3. This is what we are created for, to know God, praise Him and be with Him in His new creation forever.
  4. Only God sees the whole story, and the backstory from every angle, and only God is qualified to judge us.
  5. Dr. Paulson continues to analyze the appeal Erasmus makes to Sirach in chapter 15.
  6. Psalm 18 is both a lament and a triumphant song of Christ's victory. Chad explains how we cannot lose when we bring all of our pain before our loving God.
  7. It's inevitable, that feeling like God has turned His face away from us.
  8. First It Giveth. In this episode, we discuss Jonah’s vocation, gospel imagination, dogmatic materialism, spell casting, the contemporary effects of the Industrial Revolution, and God’s preference for wasted places while reading Eugene Peterson's Under the Unpredictable Plant: An Exploration in Vocational Holiness.
  9. 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.
