This is the sixth lesson in Dr. Camden Bucey's Reformed Academy course, Defending Our Hope: An Introduction to Christian Apologetics. Why is there such a stark contrast between the worldview of the believer and that of the unbeliever? This lesson addresses the theological concept of the antithesis—the fundamental spiritual divide between those in Christ and those outside of him. You will learn how this distinction, rooted in covenant representation and union with Christ, shapes every aspect of life and apologetic engagement. By understanding the nature of regeneration, resurrection life, and our new identity in Christ, we are better prepared to witness to the truth with clarity and conviction, while holding fast to the hope of God's redemptive purpose for his people. 01:13 The Fundamental Distinction between Believers and Unbelievers 04:31 Covenantal Representation 09:25 The Resurrection 20:18 The New Identity in Christ 29:23 Living Out Our Union with Christ 32:10 Summary and Conclusion  Register for this free on-demand course on our website to track your progress, download supplemental resources, and assess your understanding through quizzes for each lesson.

About This Episode For over 100 years, teens from throughout the country have participated in a storied American tradition – the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Originally conceived in 1923 as a way to celebrate student artists at a time when most awards focused on athletic achievements, the Awards have gone on to become the nation's longest-running scholarship and recognition program for creative teens and have served as the launching pad for some of the most well-known and respected artists and writers of the last century, including the likes of Robert Redford, Sylvia Plath, Richard Avedon, Andy Warhol, Joyce Carol Oates, John Updike, Zac Posen and Amanda Gorman. In today's episode, host Billy DiMichele is joined by Chris Wisniewski, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, Karlotta Frier and Anyango Mpinga, two professional artists and national jurors for the 2025 Scholastic Awards, and Nia Cao, a teen writer and recipient of the 2025 New York Life Award, a sponsored Scholastic Award that recognizes outstanding works dealing with grief. Each of these interviews will explore a particular component of the Scholastic Art & Writing Award—from a work first being submitted through to a national winner taking a bow on the incomparable stage of Carnegie Hall. Listen to hear more about what makes a program like the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards so special, so enduring, and so necessary. Resources About the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards: https://www.artandwriting.org/ About the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers: https://www.artandwriting.org/the-alliance/ About the New York Life Award: https://www.artandwriting.org/scholarships/new-york-life-award Gallery of teen work recognized in the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards: https://www.artandwriting.org/gallery/ More listening: Scholastic Reads! Celebrating 100 Years of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Highlights Chris Wisniewski, Executive Director of the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers “More than anything else, when we talk to teenagers and ask why did you enter the program? It was really about the opportunity to share their work, to have their work celebrated, particularly in their home communities, or even on the stage of Carnegie Hall. That's a really extraordinary thing for a young person who's at a crucial moment in their creative development and really thinking about what's next for them. So that recognition is really important.” “We also see the Scholastic Awards as being almost like a big national tailgate party for art and culture. What we're doing is bringing communities together all around the country to celebrate these young people who are doing extraordinary things in their art and writing.” “When you think about the fact that one out of every four high schools in the country has a young person who enters this program, we can rightfully say that we are conducting a celebration of creative teens on a truly national scale. And when we award 2-3,000 national medals, that really is a recognition of some of the very finest creative work that has happened anywhere in this country over the past year by teenagers.” “With 103 years of Scholastic Awards under our belt, that makes us a unique repository of teen creativity. We can tell a story about what young people were thinking about, and what was on their minds when they were making art and writing over the course of these past 100 years, and that's something that's unique to this program.” “The work that I find tends to resonate most powerfully with our jurors is the work that expresses a unique point of view. So young people who have the courage to really put themselves out there and to go beyond a classroom assignment or a sense of the expected, that's always the best path, not just to winning a Scholastic Award, but to really developing as a creative. To remember to always be true to yourself first.” Karlotta Frier, professional artist and 2025 national juror [On what intrigued her about participating as a juror] “I got invited and didn't know it was going to be so much fun and feel so important to me…Winning an award was really important to my path…and that experience of being seen by someone else other than my mom who always believed in me this whole time, but somebody else, in New York [meant] maybe I can do this.” Anyango Mpinga, professional artist and 2025 national juror [On the message she would want Scholastic Awards participants to hear] “I just want them to know that their voice is valid and to not change for anyone…If you're really connected to who you are, and this is your creativity, the best thing you can do for yourself is cultivate that creativity and become even better than you were yesterday, and stick to it, and make that your voice…you have to stick to your guns, and you have to fight for yourself.” _Nia Cao, teen poet and recipient of the 2025 New York Life Award _ “[My poem] was a really important work to me, and it was the first time that I processed [my uncle's] death. Applying for the New York Life Award, it wasn't something that I hesitated about. This is something that really resonates with my poem and with my work, and I think it was something that really tied into his legacy.” “It's validating to be acknowledged and know that my poem resonated with someone, and it feels as if the judges are saying to me, ‘I see you, I hear you.'” Special Thanks Producers: Allyson Barkan and Anne Sparkman Sound engineer: S.

Do you ever feel like everything depends on you? Providing for the family. Holding it all together. Making sure the house doesn't fall apart—figuratively and literally. This mindset can feel noble, but it often leads to stress, anxiety, or pride. In this episode, we unpack Psalm 127 and Hebrews 3 to remind ourselves what it means to let God take the lead. He is the true Builder, and when we try to take that role from Him, we end up carrying a load we were never designed to bear. Through personal stories, biblical reflection, and some real talk around identity and control, we invite you to consider a better way. One marked by prayer, dependence, and freedom that comes from trusting God with both your work and your home. Let the peace of handing over the reigns wash over you this week.   -------------------------------------------------------------------------   Support the show and upgrade your fatherhood swag. Shop Range Leather and get 15% OFF with code MJ15 Grab some fresh beans! https://rangecoffee.com/   Join the Fatherhood Guard as a monthly donor: https://manhoodjourney.org/donate/fatherhood-guard/     Buy Kent's latest book: Don't Bench Yourself on Amazon  Read the new State Of Biblical Fatherhood report here: http://manhoodjourney.org/sobf Find tools to share the report here: https://manhoodjourney.org/sobf-tools   Have a topic you want us to touch on?

God has given all of us an amazing ability to “dream,” and he encourages us to do just that! Indeed the Bible includes some great examples of godly “dreamers”. We'll be looking at some of those in detail, as well as some solid biblical principles for understanding, developing, and fruitfully using the God-given gift of our imaginations. With some frequency the Lord has called Paul and Pris Gossman to embrace new places and challenges, and always he has proven himself gracious faithful, and present as they have followed his lead. Over the years they have served God in the Philippines, Peru, Chicago, Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis, where Paul served as the Executive Director of the World Mission Prayer League. Together they enjoy hiking, travel, photography, and trying new foods. Now working part-time in “semi-retirement,” they like to dream of what the Lord might have next for them, and Paul feels especially called to help other followers of Jesus use their “sanctified imaginations” in discerning God's plan for them.

What if the biggest threat to your family isn't outside your home? John Heinen sits down with Andrew Laubacher, musician, speaker, and Executive Director of Humanality, to expose how your smartphone has been reshaping your attention, your memory, and your children's brains. With billions of dollars behind it, Big Tech wasn't designed to serve you and your family. It was built to capture your time, shape your habits, and replace real relationships with curated digital ones. In addition to helping you protect your family from these devices, we also discuss how to protect them from your own temptations (distraction, pornography, passivity, and escape). Instead of giving in, Andrew offers a path to reclaim attention, rebuild you and your home's culture, and start living again. From flip phones and dopamine detoxes to tech-free dinners and digital plans of life, this episode challenges every man to lead his family out of this trap and into reality.

On Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg, Dani speaks with Morgan Gillespy, Executive Director of the Food and Land Use Coalition (FOLU). They discuss whether it's a lack of understanding or political will that keeps policymakers from addressing the hidden costs of food and agriculture systems, why she's hopeful that true action will come from the 30th U.N. Climate Change Conference in Brazil, and the small actions that can drive big breakthroughs in food systems transformation. Plus, hear why a leading wildlife conservation organization is sounding the alarm on biodiversity decline in Africa's rivers, lakes, and wetlands; the Trump-Vance Administration's response to the detainment of farm workers, and whether regenerative agriculture programs from some of the biggest food and beverage companies make the grade.  While you're listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show; it would mean the world to us to have your feedback.

Trickle-downers love to pretend that "Econ 101" is a convincing argument against policies like the minimum wage that invest in working Americans. But the truth is that mainstream economists are terrible at predicting how the economy will behave in the future…Is Econ 101 broken? In this key foundational episode for the podcast, we dismantle the myths of orthodox economics and expose Econ 101 for what it really is: not a science, but a simplistic story used to justify inequality and defend the status quo. Our guests Eric Beinhocker (The Origin of Wealth) and James Kwak (Economism) explain how outdated assumptions about markets, people, and growth have warped economic thinking—and why it's time to write a new, better story about how the economy actually works. Part of our Back-to-Basics summer series. Essential listening for anyone ready to move beyond trickle-down talking points and think middle-out. This episode originally aired December 17, 2018. Eric Beinhocker is the Executive Director of the Institute for New Economic Thinking at the University of Oxford. He's the author of The Origin of Wealth, which applies complexity science to economics and challenges traditional market thinking. James Kwak is a writer, law professor, and former entrepreneur. He co-authored 13 Bankers and wrote Economism: Bad Economics and the Rise of Inequality, a sharp critique of how Econ 101 ideology shapes public policy and deepens inequality.

In this episode of American Potential, host David From welcomes Sandra Benitez, Executive Director of The LIBRE Initiative, to discuss how LIBRE is empowering Hispanic communities through direct advocacy. Sandra shares how LIBRE's national fly-in brings stories and real-world concerns from Latino communities across 13 states to the halls of Congress. From celebrating the passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” and advocating for policies like the REINS Act and the DOJGAR Act, to spotlighting issues like economic opportunity, tax relief, and occupational licensing reform, LIBRE is leading the charge to ensure Hispanic Americans are heard—and represented. Sandra also reflects on her personal journey from grassroots organizer to national leader, and how her team's work is helping millions of Hispanic Americans pursue and protect their piece of the American Dream.
