The narrative changes gears considerably in the last two chapters of Joshua. We get "the years passed" and mention that "Joshua was now very old", and it is clearly a conclusion to the story of this mighty leader. It is interesting to notice the ways in which Joshua himself can't easily see how emphases might change as God continues to lead his people. This entirely normal human limitation is perhaps just as true of any generation, and we are intrigued by the way Old Testament history proves God is more gracious than Joshua imagined.

Saul er på en mission for at finde æslerne. Men i virkeligheden bliver han ledt af Gud og mod et større formål. Forestil dig samtalen. "Du skal være konge"... "øh... erm, jeg leder bare efter mine æsler..." Der er super mange 'tilfældigheder' i denne historie. Kunne det være, at Gud faktisk har en plan? Lægger du mærke til 'tilfældigheder' i dit liv, og er du villig til at blive brugt af Gud, selvom det hele ikke giver mening? Er du villig til at lede efter noget i flere end 3 dage i træk??Medvirkende: Maysie Keye (afd.-leder for Teens) og Suele Sarpong.

We're back at Joshua 22, and the story of avoided conflict continues to fascinate us. Despite some difficulties with logistics and audio (sorry for lower quality this week) we explore a few new ideas from the story of a contentious altar. It is interesting to connect this with the phrases used in Joshua 4, when stones are also erected as a memorial. We discuss a connection with the tradition of communion and also ponder Joshua's absence from the story.

Joe explains how common misconceptions about final judgement and the end times make people misinterpret what it means to be “left behind.” Transcript: Joe: Welcome, back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer, and today I want to talk about the end of the world and specifically the idea of the rapture. Now, if you’re part of a church or denomination that celebrates Advent, you may know that this time of year we look forward to the coming. That’s what Adventist means, the coming of Christ, both at Christmas but also at the end of the world. But many people, partic...
Laura turns the tables and interviews her cohost, Andrew Kerbs, for an honest and often tender look at what it was like to grow up male in purity culture. Andrew shares stories from his childhood in both the Mormon church and the Seventh day Adventist tradition, unpacking how ideas about worthiness shaped everything from his family dynamics to his sense of self. Together they explore the quiet pressures boys and men face in high control religions, including secrecy around sexuality, the fear of being found out, and the shame that comes from never feeling good enough.The conversation also dives into the messages men receive about pornography, addiction, and desire and how those narratives spill into relationships, mental health, and masculinity. Laura and Andrew talk about consent, body safety, and how to raise kids with honesty instead of fear. They also get into the healing side of things, from somatic practices and therapy to redefining masculinity and learning emotional intelligence outside the confines of religious purity. It is a vulnerable, thoughtful episode that gives space to experiences men rarely get to talk about and shows what reclaiming self worth can look like after leaving high control religion.Share your purity culture stories with us by leaving a voicemail or sending your story to us!This podcast is brought to you by the Center for Trauma Resolution and Recovery: an online trauma coaching company whose practitioners are trauma informed and trauma trained to work with individuals, couples and families who have experienced high control religion, cults, and religious trauma.

Neste episódio, refletimos sobre o tempo de angústia profetizado na Bíblia e aprofundado pelos escritos do Espírito de Profecia, olhando para os quatro tempos de angústia (1260 anos, decreto dominical, fechamento da porta da graça e tempo de angústia de Jacó) e para os quatro grupos espirituais que se formam nos últimos dias: fanatismo, liberalismo, indiferentismo e o cristianismo verdadeiro.A partir de textos como Deuteronômio 30 e das mensagens de livros como Caminho a Cristo e O Grande Conflito, o sermão mostra que o centro da preparação para o tempo do fim (end time, time of trouble) não é o medo do decreto dominical, mas um recomeço real com Cristo, pela graça, equilibrando discernimento espiritual e vida prática.Você vai ouvir apelos fortes à juventude, alertas sobre os perigos do liberalismo “não tem nada a ver”, do legalismo fanático e da indiferença espiritual, além do testemunho comovente de uma jovem no Marrocos que, através da pregação online, deixou o mundo e descobriu o cristianismo verdadeiro em Jesus.Alguns temas abordados neste episódio:O que são os quatro tempos de angústia e por que o maior ainda está à nossa frente.Decreto dominical, fechamento da porta da graça e o tempo de angústia de Jacó.A diferença entre fanatismo, liberalismo, indiferentismo e cristianismo verdadeiro.Como o Espírito Santo nos dá equilíbrio para permanecer de pé no tempo do fim.O chamado bíblico de “escolher a vida” (Deuteronômio 30) para nós, hoje.Reavivamento e reforma, leitura de Caminho a Cristo e confiança no Espírito de Profecia.Um apelo direto para jovens, casais, famílias e toda a igreja recomeçarem com Jesus.Palavras-chave incluídas: tempo de angústia, fim dos tempos, decreto dominical, sábado, Espírito de Profecia, Ellen White, Grande Conflito, reavivamento e reforma, juventude adventista, cristianismo verdadeiro, Adventist preaching, Sabbath, Spirit of Prophecy, end time message, revival and reformation.

On Season 2, Episode 2 of Adventist, Eh? Dr. Harry O. Maier, a professor of New Testament & Early Christian Studies at Vancouver School of Theology, shares his journey from aspiring Lutheran pastor to professor. He highlights the importance of early church history in shaping Christian faith, the richness of diverse traditions, and the need to move beyond narrow denominational thinking. Noting how much is lost when 2,000 years of theological conversations are overlooked. One of Dr. Maier's main area of study is the exploration of the Book of Revelation as a message of hope, love, and justice rather than fear. Emphasizes faith as needing to be historically grounded, denominational inclusive, and actively engaging the needs of the world.
