Send us a textWhat if the part we're most afraid to say is the part people most need to hear? We walk through Paul's address at the Areopagus to show why the gospel isn't just comfort—it's also a clear warning rooted in God's holiness, justice, and love. Starting where Paul starts, we introduce God as Creator and sovereign over nations, then move to the urgent call to repent because “He has fixed a day” to judge the world in righteousness through the risen Christ. Along the way, we explore why Jesus spoke so plainly about hell, how the church lost its clarity on wrath, and why recovering it actually magnifies grace.We draw a careful line between two very different judgments: the judgment seat of Christ for believers—an evaluation for reward and future service—and the great white throne for unbelievers, where the books reveal the truth of our worship and the verdict is just. With vivid stories—from Rodin's The Thinker to a housefly that disarmed a stubborn listener—we highlight how God still opens ears. Athens responds in three familiar ways: some sneer, some delay, some believe. Dionysius and Demaris remind us that even among skeptics, the Spirit still saves.This conversation is not about fear-mongering; it's about honest love. If everyone is immortal and eternity is real, then clarity is compassion. We model how to speak plainly like C.S. Lewis urged—no jargon, no hedging—while keeping a humble tone that invites, not condemns. Listen to strengthen your convictions, sharpen your witness, and recover a full view of the gospel: heaven to enjoy, hell to avoid, a Savior to trust, and a hope that outlasts every age.

Send us a textStart with the biggest question on your mind late at night: not how life works, but why you have life at all. From the Areopagus in Athens to our own cultural crosswinds, we follow Paul's bold claim that God made the world, made humanity, and made every nation from one man—then pressed that truth into the deepest layers of identity, sin, and hope. The thread is simple and disruptive: if Adam is real, the gospel's architecture holds together with clarity; if Adam is only a metaphor, the logic of sin, death, and redemption frays at the edges.We explore why a literal Adam and Eve matter for more than debates—they guard human dignity, expose the ugly history of racial “progress” narratives, and align with what genetics actually shows about our shared family. Along the way, we look at the rise of theistic evolution inside the church and the quiet habit of weighing Scripture in the scales of “nature,” instead of reading nature in the light of Scripture. Not to dismiss scientific insight—science explains how matter behaves—but to admit its limits: it cannot tell us why the universe exists, why love binds conscience, or why death feels so wrong. Purpose comes from a voice, not a lab report.We also sit with Paul's second claim: God sets the seasons and boundaries of nations. That truth rescues us from panic and from the illusion that we must save history, while calling us back to our true work—witness, neighbor-love, and trust. And because God is near, not far, seekers who grope in the dark can finally find what reason alone cannot name. One race, united in sin by the first man; one hope, offered by the Last Adam, who creates a redeemed people from every language and land.If this conversation sharpened your thinking or encouraged your faith, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review so others can find it.

Send us a textStart with a world that looks arranged and ask the most honest question: who arranged it? We walk up the Areopagus with Paul, listen to his bold claim that God made “the world and all things in it,” and then follow that claim into modern labs, star fields, and the quiet intricacy of a single living cell. From the intuitive logic of Mount Rushmore to the stubborn math behind monkeys at typewriters, we weigh whether time and chance can truly write coherent sentences—much less encode the deep, layered information of DNA.Together we unpack why Paul began with origins when speaking to curious, skeptical minds. The term he chose—cosmos—means order and arrangement, and that word shapes how we read everything from gravitational harmony to biochemical choreography. Along the way, we hear how thinkers like Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, and even a late-life Anthony Flew saw purpose in the fabric of reality. We revisit Darwin's own cautions and explore why the discovery of information-rich systems in the cell complicates a purely unguided story of life. Far from shutting down science, this vision of creation energizes it—inviting us to seek laws because we trust the Lawgiver and to ask better questions because we expect real answers.All of this lands close to home. If a God wise enough to order galaxies also numbers our days, then trust is not blind; it's fitting. We talk frankly about the cultural costs of denying design—how meaning, morality, and hope begin to slip—and we point to a better foundation: Christ the Creator, the one who holds all things together and can steady our steps. If He keeps the planet spinning and the Milky Way in motion, He can guide a week, a decision, a life.

'A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.” They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.” (All the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there spent their time doing nothing but talking about and listening to the latest ideas.) ' Acts 17:18-21

Now while Paul was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within him as he saw that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the devout persons, and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18 Some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers also conversed with him. And some said, “What does this babbler wish to say?” Others said, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign divinities”—because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection. 19 And they took him and brought him to the Areopagus, saying, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? 20 For you bring some strange things to our ears. We wish to know therefore what these things mean.” 21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners who lived there would spend their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new.So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said: “Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious. 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription: ‘To the unknown god.' What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you. 24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man, 25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything. 26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place, 27 that they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us, 28 for“‘In him we live and move and have our being'; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.'Being then God's offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. 30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, 31 because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” 33 So Paul went out from their midst. 34 But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.In Acts 17:16–34, Paul's heart broke over the spiritual condition of the Athenians, and that compassion moved him to be a humble witness. The question for us is this: when we see idolatry around us, do we press in with love or pull away in judgment?Paul earned credibility by being present and finding common ground. Are you the kind of person who asks questions and shows curiosity about what others are going through, or are you more quick to offer advice and impart wisdom?How can you grow in courage to speak the gospel naturally — not as a project, but as love?How might remembering Jesus' humility reshape the way you approach people who disagree with you or live differently?

Acts 17–18 trace Paul's second missionary journey as he preaches in diverse settings, facing both openness and opposition. In Thessalonica, some believe while others stir up hostility. The Bereans receive the Word eagerly, examining Scripture daily. In Athens, Paul boldly engages philosophers at the Areopagus, proclaiming the risen Christ in a culturally relevant way. In Corinth, despite resistance, he remains for 18 months, encouraged by God's promise of His presence. Along the way, Paul partners with Aquila and Priscilla, who later disciple Apollos into a powerful minister. These chapters remind us that the gospel belongs in every place, calls for faithfulness amid challenges, and grows through both bold proclamation and quiet discipleship.

What does it really mean to flourish, and how do curious skeptics become devoted followers of Jesus? In this message from Acts 17:16–34, Pastor Benjer explores Paul's famous address in Athens at the Areopagus and shows how God awakens spiritual curiosity, why some mock before they believe, and how everyday Christians can step into gospel conversations with confidence and love. If you've ever wondered how to talk about Jesus in a culture crowded with competing definitions of “the good life,” this teaching is for you. Paul arrives in Athens “provoked” by a city full of idols, yet he responds not with outrage but with compassion and reason. He finds common ground, exposes the emptiness of man-made gods, and proclaims the Creator who “gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.” He names the altar “To the Unknown God,” declares the risen Christ as Lord and Judge, and invites repentance. The result is mixed, just like today: some mock, some want to hear more, and some believe. Acts 17:16–34 becomes a masterclass in evangelism, apologetics, and pastoral heart, all centered on the resurrection of Jesus. This message also frames a bigger journey many of us are on. We borrow our vision of flourishing from social media, success metrics, and other people's expectations, then wonder why we are anxious, exhausted, and empty. Scripture paints a different picture. Jeremiah 17 describes the flourishing person as a tree planted by streams of water, unafraid of heat and drought, still bearing fruit. Jesus clarifies the source in John 15: abide in Him, the true vine, and you will bear much fruit; apart from Him you can do nothing. Real flourishing is not self-optimization. It is a Spirit-powered, Jesus-rooted life that blesses others. You will hear a practical pathway for growth that moves from curious to connected to committed to compelled to consecrated. Curiosity is often awakened by God long before a person ever sits in a church. That is why ordinary believers matter so much. You are already placed in neighborhoods, classrooms, teams, and workplaces where spiritual conversations can naturally begin. You won't know who is curious about Jesus until you talk about Jesus. Our lives should commend the gospel, but the gospel itself must be spoken. Faith comes by hearing the word of Christ. If you are exploring Christianity, this message invites you to ask honest questions and follow the evidence. The God who made you is “not far from each one of us.” If you are a follower of Jesus, you will be challenged to pray by name for one person in your everyday life and to look for the openings God provides. Evangelism is not a performance; it is participation with a God who is already pursuing people in love. Key themes include Acts 17:16–34, Paul in Athens, the Areopagus, the “unknown god,” idols and worldview, resurrection apologetics, repentance and faith, discipleship, abiding in Christ, Jeremiah 17, John 15, spiritual curiosity, gospel conversations, and a biblical vision of flourishing. Whether you are new to church or a long-time Christian, this sermon will help you discern the voices shaping your life, root your joy and purpose in Jesus, and step into your calling as an everyday ambassador of Christ. If this message helps you, consider sharing it with a friend who is curious about Jesus.

On this week's Classical Et Cetera, Memoria Press takes on one of our most common questions in classical Christian education: Why should Christians study paganism at all?   We explore how to approach pagan philosophy, literature, and Greek mythology in the classroom, and why these texts still matter for students learning within the tradition of Christianity. From Plato and Aristotle to Paul at the Areopagus, we consider how pagan authors asked the right questions—and how the Bible is where we ultimately get the answers.   Whether you're a homeschool parent, a teacher, or simply curious about classical education, this conversation will help you see how pagan works can be taught with discernment, why they remain part of a Memoria Press curriculum, and how to read them in light of the truth of Christianity.   Read "Why Should Christians Read the Pagan Classics" from our founder, Cheryl Lowe: https://www.memoriapress.com/articles/why-should-christians-read-pagan-classics/?utm_source=PodBean&utm_medium=CETC&utm_campaign=185   *What We're Reading* from This Episode:  _The Unselected Journals of Emma M.

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith continue to look at the theological implications of Paul's sermon at the Areopagus. They discuss common misinterpretations of Paul's message, the concept of allotted periods in theology, the distinction between Jews and Gentiles, and the role of preachers in conveying God's word. The conversation also touches on God's overlooking of ignorance, the call to repentance, and the assurance provided through Christ's resurrection. The episode concludes with reflections on the impact of Paul's message on his audience.   Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Scott Keith Daniel Emery Price

In this episode of the Outlaw God podcast, hosts Stephen Paulson and Caleb Keith continue in Acts 17, focusing on the themes of mysticism, the influence of scholasticism, and the contrast between natural law and divine law. They explore Paul's sermon at the Areopagus engages with Greek philosophy, ultimately emphasizing the law's role in accusing sin rather than providing a pathway to virtue. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the true nature of God and the implications of Paul's message for contemporary theology.   Show Notes: Support 1517 Podcast Network 1517 Podcasts 1517 on Youtube 1517 Podcast Network on Apple Podcasts 1517 Events Schedule 1517 Academy - Free Theological Education What's New from 1517: Sinner Saint by Luke Kjolhaug The Impossible Prize: A Theology of Addiction by Donavan Riley Ditching the Checklist by Mark Mattes Broken Bonds: A Novel of the Reformation, Book 1 of 2 by Amy Mantravadi More from the hosts: Scott Keith Daniel Emery Price  

How are we to live in today's secular culture? In the book of Acts, what was Paul's approach to the pagan people of Greece?Most of the people of Athens were well educated, but they were also pagan, and worshipped many Greek gods.Paul's approach to his sermon to the people of Athens was very consistent with what he taught about going out into the world and dealing with a secular pagan culture—how to deal with those outside of the faith.Paul did not argue or try to convince people. He reasoned with them, starting with what they already knew. Acts 17:16-20 "While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was greatly distressed to see that the city was full of idols. So he reasoned in the synagogue with both Jews and God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the marketplace day by day with those who happened to be there. A group of Epicurean and Stoic philosophers began to debate with him. Some of them asked, “What is this babbler trying to say?” Others remarked, “He seems to be advocating foreign gods.”They said this because Paul was preaching the good news about Jesus and the resurrection. Then they took him and brought him to a meeting of the Areopagus, where they said to him, “May we know what this new teaching is that you are presenting? You are bringing some strange ideas to our ears, and we would like to know what they mean.”

In this week's episode, Aaron and Kevin are talking about when the Apostle Paul went to the Areopagus in Acts 17 and talked to people who were "very religious" and yet they didn't know Jesus. Paul walks them through a logical progression of understanding that some things they are looking for in an "unknown god" are fulfilled in the "known God" Jesus Christ. This is a helpful modeling for us who live in a skeptical age. There are many people we know who are looking for the things that God offers, but not looking to the giver of those things. We hope this conversation will inspire you to start another conversation about Jesus with someone else. We hope you enjoy it!

Send us a textGood morning! Thank you for taking a few minutes to listen. If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)Spiritbuilding.com - (premium quality paperback)Youtube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comActs 17 Paul continues his second missionary journey with stops in Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens. In Thessalonica, Paul reasons with the Jews in the synagogue, explaining that Jesus is the Messiah who fulfilled the scriptures. While some believe, others incite a riot, forcing Paul and Silas to flee to Berea. The Bereans are praised for their eagerness to examine the scriptures daily to verify Paul's teachings. Many believe, but opposition arises again, prompting Paul to leave. In Athens, Paul is stirred by the city's idolatry and engages with philosophers in the Areopagus. He proclaims the one true God, emphasizing His power to create all things and His call for everyone to repent of their sins. He informs them that God will judge the world, providing proof by raising Jesus from the dead. The centerpiece of the gospel is the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Nearly every sermon in Acts highlights the evidence for and significance of this momentous event. In Thessalonica, Paul uses the resurrection to demonstrate that Jesus is the Christ. In Athens, the philosophers are challenged by Paul, who is “preaching Jesus and the resurrection.” Paul concludes his sermon to the Athenians by declaring Jesus as the final Judge, a truth established by God raising Him from the dead. God created us to seek Him, and He offered and raised His Son so that we can find Him. Some sneer at this, while others delay their response. However, true believers in the resurrection accept it and join the cause.  Dear Father, thank You for raising Your crucified Son from the dead. Thank You for the evidence of His resurrection and for the incredible, eternal assurances that accompany His victory over sin and death. Lord God, we believe. We believe You made all things and created us to seek and find You. We also believe that Your Son's death and resurrection are the only path to reach You, forgiven by His blood and granted the promise of eternal life in His name. We know Jesus will judge the world. Lead us to repent and prepare for our Savior's return.   Thought Questions: -       Why do you believe that Jesus Christ was raised from the dead? Are you prepared to elaborate in order to teach others about Jesus? -       The Berean listeners are commended for examining scripture to confirm Paul's words. Why should you do that when you hear teaching? -       Do you believe that God created you and that in Him you “live and move and exist”? How does this belief shape your daily life and choices?

What happens when a bold faith collides with a skeptical world?   Pastors Josh Howerton and Carlos Erazo are joined by Pamela Baltazar and Jana Howerton for a rich, laughter-filled, and truth-packed conversation centered on Acts 17 and Paul's legendary sermon on Mars Hill. As they unpack how Paul's approach to sharing the Gospel mirrors the challenges we face in today's digital culture, the group explores how believers can engage the modern “Areopagus” of social media with courage and clarity.  Along the way, they celebrate God's faithfulness through 25,000 baptisms at Lakepointe church, highlight stories of life change, and even consider whether Joe Rogan might be inching closer to Jesus. This is a powerful conversation about legacy, revival, and using every platform to share the hope found in Christ.  

Recorded at the Areopagus in Athens, Chad and Derrick Woodward reflect on Paul's message in Acts 17. They discuss how Paul addressed Greek idolatry and introduced the concept of one true God to the philosophers at Mars Hill; blending biblical reflection with on-site observations to highlight the relevance of Paul's message today.

Paul's message to the people of Athens on the Areopagus is one of the most effective presentations of the gospel to a non-christian audience in all of scripture. Just as Paul encountered a city full of false gods in Athens, we too are surrounded by subtle idols competing for our devotion. These may not be physical statues, but could be anything from material success to relationships, social media, or even our own appearance. The message reminds us that true fulfillment comes only from seeking the one living God, not these modern-day idols. We're called to recognize our idolatry, repent, and turn continuously to the Creator who gives us life and sustains us. This journey of faith invites us to be genuinely broken rather than falsely happy, encouraging authenticity in our spiritual walk. As we reflect on our own lives, we're prompted to identify our personal idols and recommit ourselves to the God who defeated death through Christ's resurrection.

This conversation leans into the tension of warning and promise, reminding us that our faith isn't meant to stay stagnant—but to grow, bear fruit, and remain anchored in God's unchanging promises.____________________________________Connect with Jamie:Website: www.jamieklusacek.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jamieklusacekConnect with Jane:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/janewwilliams____________________________________ Get Jamie's Newest Book:Living Loved: An 8-week Journey to Living Fully Loved

Send us a textIn Acts 17:16-34, we see Paul's encounter in Athens at the Areopagus.  This was a center of philosophical thought, higher learning, and judicial proceedings.  It was a place to go to discuss ideas and to debate.  Paul was invited to share about his God and his beliefs in front of an audience at the Areopagus.  Within this chapter, we see Paul makes inroads and finds common ground with his audience.  He follows the right "evangelical" course, yet some were disapproving and even mocked his message.  Still, others wanted to listen and hear Paul out.  Finally, some believed!  We see the power of the Gospel through this event.  From this Acts 17 account, there is much we can use in terms of our own witness and our need to boldly speak about Christ just as Paul did.  Check out the new AS BOLD AS LIONS merch items:   https://derekcharlesjohnson.com/store

In this episode of the Podcast for Cultural Reformation, Dr. Joe Boot and Pastor Nate Wright respond to the criticisms raised by Andrew Isker and CJay Engel from the Contra Mundum podcast. They engage in an in-depth discussion about the significance of possessing a biblical worldview, addressing misconceptions and providing thorough explanations on topics such as theology, philosophy, epistemology, and mathematics. Dr. Boot underscores that a biblical worldview is grounded in the full revelation of Scripture, which serves as the ultimate authority for all aspects of life, including politics, science, and economics. Additionally, the duo explores the underlying motivations and flawed reasoning behind some of the arguments presented by Isker, Engel, Wolfe, and the reactionary "dank" right, aiming to reinforce the importance of a biblically rooted perspective in all areas of culture and knowledge.
