Ever tried explaining a word that shows up 250+ times in the Bible... and still can't quite pin it down? That's exactly the puzzle Old Testament scholar Jenny Matheny sits down to unpack with Cyndi this episode. Using her own growing up context in Napa Valley and the French wine concept of terroir to help people explore the concept of the Hebrew term hesed. This word defies easy translations because it is so thick with meaning.  Explore the book Hesed the Seed of the Biblical Story from @bakerpublishinggroup Here Read more about Dr. Jennifer M.

Courtney was in the best shape of her life — and also the most exhausted she'd ever been. Her body had started sending signals that no one, including herself, knew how to read yet. A stroke scare that turned out to be a misdiagnosed migraine. Weeks of worsening symptoms she chalked up to ordinary aches. And then, on a family trip to Mexico, a swollen neck that sent her home and straight into emergency surgery. What followed was a diagnosis so rare that her own doctors didn't have statistics to give her — she was told, at first, that she had "the good kind" of cancer. She didn't. She asked, point-blank, whether she was going to die, and got the only honest answer available: I don't know. Four years later, after a successful treatment, she's still living inside that answer. Courtney and Cody talk about the twelve days between diagnosis and chemo, the slow stretch from three-month scans to yearly ones, and the arm lump she's mid-wait on right now — a fresh round of "I don't know" playing out in real time. They talk about the strange, hard-won gift of learning to trust herself after years of not being able to, the unsettling nature of strangers projecting their faith onto her, and why "I'll pray for you" can be the emptiest thing a person can say — and what to do instead. And they talk about what she wants to leave behind for her kids: not a diagnosis, but a habit of kindness.

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew sits down with Ian Rose, a former member of The New Church, to explore the strange theology of Emanuel Swedenborg and the teachings that shaped Ian's life. Ian explains how Swedenborg's alleged revelations became foundational to the New Church, including its “internal sense” of Scripture, rejection of key biblical doctrines, works-based view of salvation, and unusual beliefs about heaven, angels, and the afterlife.  Most importantly, Ian shares how encountering the biblical gospel—salvation through Christ alone rather than his own works—ultimately led him out of the New Church and radically changed his understanding of Jesus, Scripture, and salvation.    Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE

Blessed Are Those Who Mourn - The Gospel According to Matthew: Chapters 5 (2026) by Shawn Ozbun

The Media's Role in Hiding Gaza's Genocide w/ Dr. Robin Andersen

Earlier this month, a law permitting physician-assisted suicide took effect in the state of New York. It was the 13th state in the county to pass such a law. Opponents of physician-assisted suicide, which often include Catholic institutions, pro-life groups, and disability rights advocates, have not been all that successful in stopping these laws from spreading in recent years. Why is that? What's behind the continued expansion of the practice? And how might opponents articulate a different vision for how we take care of those who are vulnerable? Our guest today is an ideal person to help us think through these questions. Professor Cathleen Kaveny is Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Law and Theology at Boston College. Her position includes appointments in both BC's theology department and its law school, and she is the first person ever to hold such a joint appointment there. In her scholarship, Professor Kaveny focuses on the relationship of law, religion and morality. Back in the summer of 2008, when she was teaching at Notre Dame, host Mike Jordan Laskey took one of Professor Kaveny's theology classes during grad school and she instantly became one of his favorite teachers of all time. (We think you'll see why in this episode.) In addition to her scholarly work, Professor Kaveny regularly publishes essays in the Catholic press, including a recent one on physician-assisted suicide that appeared in Commonweal. Headlined “The Importance of Being a Burden,” Professor Kaveny's relatively short piece examines the issue from theological, legal and social analysis perspectives. The article is a great example of the way Professor Kaveny works at intellectual intersections and makes thorny topics accessible and engaging. We think you'll learn a lot from the essay and from this wide-ranging conversation. “The Importance of Being a Burden” by Professor Cathleen Kaveny: https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/importance-being-burden-kaveny-physician-assisted-suicide More about Professor Kaveny: https://www.bc.edu/bc-web/schools/law/academics-faculty/faculty-directory/cathleen-kaveny.html AMDG is a production of the Jesuit Media Lab, which is a project of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States. www.jesuits.org/ www.beajesuit.org/ twitter.com/jesuitnews facebook.com/Jesuits instagram.com/wearethejesuits youtube.com/societyofjesus www.jesuitmedialab.org/

Mormonism is changing and the version of it a Latter-day Saint holds today may look almost nothing like the version their parents held. I sat down with Aaron Shafovaloff and Brandi Bronson to map what's actually happening. Aaron has done evangelism in Utah for two decades and volunteers with Mormonism Research Ministry. Brandy was LDS for 27 years before leaving. Aaron lays out seven distinct streams within the movement today and Brandy describes the Mormonism she was raised in divine nature, eternal progression, creating worlds, and what made her start to question it.

Has the church largely misunderstood the nature and origin of angels and demons? Are there other heavenly divine beings that are not angelic or demonic, and if so, where did they come from and what do they do? Are demons really the disembodied spirits of the Nephilim as discussed in Genesis 6 and the Book of Enoch? Dr. Joel Muddamalle is the author of The Unseen Battle and he was both a friend and protege of the late Michael Heiser. He joins us for a deep-dive on these questions and more.

What qualifies someone to serve God—and who gets to decide?Today, we continue our year-long Bible study in the book of Acts. In this episode, Paul examines the disciples' selection of Matthias, showing why the condition of our hearts matters more than outward appearances and why we must look to Scripture's clear commands for guidance.To hear more studies from the book of Acts, visit PaulTripp.com/Acts.

The Problem With Vanity In The Last Days: Psalm 144 & Proverbs 13 by Shawn Ozbun

Chaplin Gordon James Klingenschmidt is a former elected Colorado State Representative and also a TV show host. He served honorably as a 20-year veteran who graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy in Political Science and made national headlines as the former Navy Chaplain who dared to pray "in Jesus' name." He is an ordained minister with an earned PhD in Theology, and founded the Pray in Jesus' Name Project. It was 20 years ago on Crosstalk when we first introduced you to Chaplain Klingenschmidt, who came under attack by a commander who punished him in writing on three occasions because he dared to quote Bible verses in church that claim Jesus is the way to heaven. He was downgraded in his evaluations for praying "in Jesus' name" on the ship's microphone, for obtaining Kosher meals for a Jewish sailor, and for refusing to support mandatory attendance quotas for a homosexual church. He was told repeatedly to stop praying in Jesus' name. This left him with a choice; to deny Jesus Christ or to take a stand. He chose to take a stand which cost him his career and related pension. He is now reaching out to President Trump seeking a presidential pardon that could reinstate him to the military for one day so that he can retire and have his pension and back pay restored. Don't miss this opportunity to hear his testimony and learn how these 20 years later, you can push this effort, as Chaplain Klingenschmidt put it, "across the finish line."

In this episode of the CPT Podcast, we welcome Dr. Matt O'Reilly, lead pastor of Christ Church, Birmingham, and a leader in the Global Methodist Church, to talk about what it means to be an ecclesial theologian. O'Reilly describes the ecclesial theologian as a pastor who provides theological leadership from within the local church. Rather than simply translating academic theology for laypeople, ecclesial theologians engage in constructive theology that shapes every aspect of church life—from preaching and discipleship to finances, property, staffing, and mission.  The conversation explores O'Reilly's leadership in the emerging Global Methodist Church, including his role in drafting unified Articles of Faith and chairing the Doctrine and Sacraments Committee for the denomination's General Conference in Johannesburg. O'Reilly argues that theological study is not a distraction from pastoral ministry but an essential part of it—one that can deepen a pastor's leadership, renew the mind, and become an act of worship.Join a CPT Cohort Program Attend the 2026 CPT Conference

Traditionally, the Old Testament book of Ruth has been viewed as a love story. But in this series of 12 conversations with author Carolyn Custis James, Mart DeHaan and Elisa Morgan discover that this story of Naomi and Ruth and Boaz is not all about romance. It's about God's ability to make much of broken lives, and how he calls men and women to serve together to build His kingdom.Receive When Naomi's world fell apart, she may have felt that she had lost God's “hesed,” or His sacrificial, costly, voluntary love. But God used Ruth and Boaz to show Naomi He had not abandoned her. Bolstered by God's hesed love, Naomi can then pour out that love on Ruth, Boaz, and her grandson.  As we ponder the blessed alliance between Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz, we see how God provided and protected this humble family that was in the lineage of King David and His Son Jesus. We also get a beautiful picture of how God wants His daughters and sons to work together to build His kingdom on earth.  Reflect  How did Ruth “break the rules” to show God's hesed love to Naomi in Ruth 1:22–2:7? How did Boaz join Ruth in “breaking the rules” in Ruth 2:4–17? What do we learn about Boaz' character and about the power of men and women working together to serve God? How can we see God's fingerprints in Naomi's life based on Ruth 1:6, Ruth 1:20 and Ruth 2:17–23? How do we see God at work in the lives of Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz in Ruth 3:1–13? Based on Ruth 3:1, Ruth 3:5–13 and Ruth 4:13–22,  how does Ruth's story embolden you to step out, take responsibility for needs you see, and live more courageously for Jesus?  Respond (Use this prayer to start a conversation with God) “Dear God, thank You that You are always at work in my life. Help me to look for Your fingerprints in every season of my life. Help me to live boldly for Jesus and to share Your hesed love with others.”  Discover more about the topics in this episode with these recommended resources Mentioned in this episode: The Gospel of Ruth   Listen: God Is At Work—The Story of Ruth Part 2—A “Chance” Meeting  God Is At Work Part 3—A Strange Proposal  God Is At Work—The Story of Ruth Part 4—The Providence of God Read: Transformed by Love  Keep Yourselves in the Love of God   Watch: God Loves YOU!   God's Daily Love

Christianity has a bit to say about ‘forgiveness', both on a theological and a sociological level.In short, God forgives us, and Christians are therefore called to extend this forgiveness to those who've wronged them.But this raises a lot of questions.What does forgiveness actually mean? How does it work? Does it involve forgetting wrongs? Can you forgive someone who isn't sorry? What about profound abuse and injustice?The Christian emphasis on forgiveness has shaped our civilisation. But does it still make sense?FOR FULL SHOW NOTES - CLICK HERECREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed and edited by Mark Hadley. Sophie Hawkshaw is on socials and membership.Alasdair Belling is a writer and researcher. Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant. Santino Dimarco is Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Our voice actors today were Yannick Lawry and Dakotah Love.Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.

Text us your questions!Randy and Kyle get brutally honest about the moment doubt stops feeling like “questions” and starts feeling like unbelief, including what it's like to say that out loud when you're a pastor with a church, a family, and a job that takes for granted that you believe in God.We dig into the philosophy and the lived spirituality behind the words we toss around too easily: belief, disbelief, doubt, and faith. Kyle unpacks the senses in which belief is (and isn't) an attitude toward a proposition, why certainty is basically impossible, and why faith can't survive if it's treated like a 100% confidence score. From “faith that” (propositions like the resurrection) to “faith in” (trust, loyalty, relationship), we explore how acceptance, hope, desire, and resilience can carry a Christian faith journey through seasons when your mind won't cooperate.We also talk Bible language like pistis as faithfulness, the hiddenness of God, and why the tradition is full of saints and spiritual giants who knew darkness from the inside. Our goal isn't to shame atheism or glorify doubt, but to make space for honesty and widen the possibilities for understanding what faith can mean.=====Want to support us?The best way is to subscribe to our Patreon.

We live in a world that envisions freedom as the absence of obligations. But it turns out that our deepest freedom comes from embracing duty and responsibility. In this sermon we explore Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 11), where Jesus shows us the human goodness of fulfilling our duties and obligations toward our neighbors.

Rev. Dr. Melanie Harris is a professor of Black Feminist and Womanist Theologies at Wake Forest University, an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church and one of the founders of ecowomanism — a theology and environmental philosophy centering the voices, wisdom, and spiritual practices of Black women and women of color.In this conversation, Harris traces her own eco-memories back to Dearfield, Colorado, one of the historic Black-owned farming settlements founded by families who migrated west during the Great Migration — including her own grandparents. She reflects on growing up with a rare and precious connection to land and growing things, even as her family navigated the very real dangers racism posed to simply being outdoors in rural America.Harris speaks candidly about how, in many African American communities, painful histories tied to slavery and cotton have led families to intentionally distance children from the land — a protective severing that ecowomanism seeks to gently repair. Drawing on her mother's practice of singing and humming to plants, she describes music, spirituality and land stewardship as deeply entwined threads of Black religious life.She also talks about the hidden ecological history of Black women and why it matters to see  women like Harriet Tubman and Fannie Lou Hamer not just as liberators and Civil Rights leaders, but as environmentalists who understood the connection between racial justice and earth justice. The episode closes with a meditation on the high desert of New Mexico, where the conversation was recorded – a portrait of land, memory, grief and grace held together.This episode was produced in partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature and with support from the Kalliopeia Foundation. —00:00:00 Introduction00:03:00 Roots, Roses and Ecowomanism00:10:55 Harriet Tubman, Environmentalist00:17:30 The Lynching Tree and What Needs Repair00:27:10 The Divine Feminine and the Desert— Melanie Harris academic bio  Book: “Ecowomanism: African American Women and Earth-Honoring Faiths” Book: “Preaching Black Earth” Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.

Martin Luther's outrage over a corrupt church selling indulgences helped ignite the Reformation, but the beliefs that grew out of that upheaval still shape Christianity centuries later. Zach, Al, John Luke, and Christian trace Luther's struggle with righteousness through Romans, his controversial problem with the book of James, and the tension between faith and works that Christians still wrestle with today. The guys confront the limits of human understanding, exploring whether our obsession with certainty leads us to argue over mysteries we were never equipped to solve. In this episode: Romans 1:16-17, 20; Romans 3; Romans 4; Romans 6-8; Romans 10; 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; James 2; Hebrews 11 Today's conversation is about Lesson 7 of Theology 101: The Western Theological Tradition taught by various Hillsdale Professors.
