In our upcoming ABBAology Insider Intensive, an online bible school which takes place in a closed fb group, we go more in depth into this parable, but today Jake breaks down the parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man in an abbreviated version.  Be free from fear; it's not about heaven and hell.     Detailed breakdown for school and sign up here: www.abbaology.net/addlandingpage

There's one key word in each story in Luke 15...it's the word "have."  You'll never see your origin the same again.  

The 1st month of the ABBAology Insider Intensive, the 6 month online bible school that starts August 10th, 2020, is called BIBLE HACKS....these are life changing and mindblowing interpretive tools we ALL NEED to have in operation as we read the bible...this is a mind blower.  

COVID is weighing heavy on all of us....the media narrative is weighing heavily on all of us...christians crying it's the "last days" are weighing heavily on all of us...what can we do to escape this emotional toll?!

The first month of our upcoming online bible school starting 8/10/2020 is Bible Hacks...these are interpretive tools we all need in our tool belts so that the bible begins to make sense and we no longer suffer from BCD: biblical confusion disorder!  Jake gives a sampling of what we'll learn in that month in today's episode using Romans chapter 10 that will blow your mind!

The ABBAology revelation is hiding in plain sight... In this episode Jake discusses the implications of Jesus calling God "our Father" even before the Cross!  www.abbaology.net

Become free from offense and resentment in this powerful episode... 

In episode 12, we explore how the judicial wine has run out at the wedding feast, but Jesus is here to turn judicial waters into family wine and keep the party going.  A judicial mindset results in obsession with minutia, where as a familial mind enjoys the relaxing overflow and stops being obsessed with the minutia.

In episode 2 I name every specific major theological shift I've had over the last 11 years leading into ABBAology, and why having a trajectory and theological journey is teaching us to trust ABBA to lead us.   

Here are some of the specifics of my journey over the last 11 years....a little more of my story and how I arrived at ABBAology, and realizing the destination you believe you've arrived at is really a raft to take you further.  

Welcome ABBAology Insiders!  The word "set" has an immobility to it that the word "flow" doesn't have.  May seem like a small detail, but the word mindSET is sending a signal to our brain to be less pliable than the word flow does... 

In this episode Jake examines what doubt actually is, and that it's really more the presence of scrutiny, and the evidence you're taking your faith seriously.  It's an absence of blind faith perhaps...it's the crossroads we come to when we must choose between two opinions; it is that time of wavering before the choice...it's a natural occurrence while you're growing...it's to be expected! 

All systems dependent on the fear and ignorance of the masses in order to succeed beware, inevitability is just around the bend!  

In this episode, Jake takes one verse and shows how depending on the lens you see through, judicial or familial, the verse completely changes!  

If we can understand what's happening historically while the new testament is being written, it begins to make more sense than ever.  Much of what's written of was future for the writers and their immediate audiences, but long past for us.  This simple key of "knowing what time it is" will revolutionize your new testament understanding.  

There's a time to tear down, and a time to rebuild....We have the heart of a wise master builder, not just a wise demo-er....this episode can be extremely powerful to help you understand the journey you're on into ABBAology.

Jesus is an example of us, not for us.  If Jesus is an example for us of another behavioral standard unto which to attain, then He kept us under law!  But if Jesus is an example of us, then we can see He was trying to take us out of that law based way of relating to the Father, and into a sonship, family based way of relating to Him, as He did!

Jesus came to restore spiritual sight to a humanity that was seeing through a veil...seeing a distorted view of who God was, and who they were....Jesus never told anyone to change their nature, but He did teach that they weren't seeing clearly...He was the spiritual understanding that came into the spiritual blindness, and He'll heal it if we can get this!

In this first episode, Jake does a quick unpacking of the concept of ABBAology, what it means, and where we're headed....
