Together, with Fr. Mike, we continue our examination of the sacrament of Baptism. Fr. Mike emphasizes that each and every one of the Old Covenant prefigurations are fulfilled in Christ Jesus. He also unpacks Christ's own Baptism in the Jordan, explaining that when Christ is baptized by John the Baptist, he brings the “mess of humanity” into the Jordan with him and makes the waters of Baptism holy.

Today's conversation on Back Porch Theology is a part two, so if you haven't listened to last week's conversation with our friend Katherine Wolf, I encourage you to do so. Now before we dive in, I'd like to read a brief excerpt from Katherine's latest book titled, Treasures in the Dark: “David taught me that laughter and worship aren't so different. In fact, they are simply two of the shapes that hope takes. Both laughter and worship are most powerful when offered from full brokenness of body or of circumstance. Sure, it's great to celebrate and praise God when life is good. But whooping with laughter when you can hardly speak or raising your hands in worship from the seat of a wheelchair…now that's evidence of a soul who has found transcending security and joy in Divine Love. Suffering can harden us to the good things in life, or it can open us up to receive them with abandon.” Grab your Bible if you've got one and welcome to the porch…we're really glad you're here.

So often, we're told that following Jesus will make life easier… but what if that's not what Jesus said at all? In this message, Francis Chan walks us through what the Bible clearly teaches about suffering. Jesus taught us to expect it, to embrace it, and to arm ourselves with the mindset that following Him will not be easy. He'll show us that overcoming sin requires suffering, that living for the will of God means leaving our old lives behind, and that real love is expressed in serving others, not in being served.

Looking at something beautiful can calm your mind, and science is finally catching up to what the Bible has always said. This moment invites you to slow down, reflect on creation, and ask God to bring beauty into the messy parts of life. SUBSCRIBE TODAY for Weekly Service messages, Daily Guided Prayers, & more!

In this Bible Story, we learn about the downward spiral of Judah and Israel. Their kings, Rehoboam and Jeroboam, lead their people into an era of idol-worship, war, and cynicism. The past glory of David and Solomon seems like a distant memory, and the people of Israel grow accustomed to sin and shame. This story is inspired by 1 Kings 14, 15:33-34 & 2 Chronicles 12. Go to BibleinaYear.com and learn the Bible in a Year.Today's Bible verse is 2 Chronicles 12:6 from the King James Version.Episode 120: King Jeroboam's son Abijah was sick, and as he sat at the boy's bedside, he called for his wife to disguise herself and seek out the prophet Ahijah. When she arrived, his message for her was not one of hope but of judgment and of recompense for her husband's sins.

When you read messages on spirituality, you will find many references on the dangers of what we are attached to. I grew up on the Bible which I feel taught attachment to nothing but God. In recent years I've followed the works of Anthony de Mello and Dr David R Hawkins on the dangers of attachment, from a spiritual standpoint. Now however, someone came to focus on attachments from a clinical psychology perspective. Dr. Bob Rosen holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and serves as faculty in George Washington University's School of Medicine's Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. Bob is Founder and CEO of Healthy Companies and has advised over 500 CEOs across sixty countries. He previously authored the New York Times bestseller "Grounded" and Washington Post bestseller "Conscious." His new book is, Detach: Ditch Your Baggage to Live a More Fulfilling Life, and in it his research led to 10 categories of attachments that most hinder us. My interest in this is acute and personal, as I've come to realize how much I imprisoned myself with all the duties, roles, and achievements in my life that I directly attached to my identity. And in this, I was more and more at threat. If I couldn't retain control over all the attachments, the very root of my identity was at threat. And it nearly wrecked me. Someone once asked me who I was if you took away all I'd done and all the titles and labels in my life. And, I had no answer. As you will hear Bob state, it's not that all attachments are bad, the question is how severe is the attachment? He says, “The more we identify with our attachments, the more we suffer.” But Bob's focus on detachment is not about disconnecting from the world, but connecting to ourselves. Which I now feel is the root of our security. If you go to bobrosen.com you can take an attachment assessment and other resources.

Were the authors of the Bible just writing firsthand accounts of events that actually happened? That's a pretty tough case to make. As a matter of fact, we have very good reason to believe that many of the stories of the bible have shared roots with many other stories/myths of ancient southwest Asia and northern Africa. This week, we'll look at many of those stories, and discuss their parallels and origins from around the region. We'll discuss what evidence scholars use to come to these conclusions, and have some fun trying to figure out who came up with what first. Then in our second segment, we'll look at Haggai. It's a book of only two chapters, and those chapters frankly don't seem like much on first blush. Is there more to Haggai than meets the eye? ---- For early access to an ad-free version of every episode of Data Over Dogma, exclusive content, and the opportunity to support our work, please consider becoming a monthly patron at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/DataOverDogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠      Follow us on the various social media places: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/DataOverDogmaPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitter.com/data_over_dogma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Have you ordered Dan McClellan's hit book ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Bible Says So⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ yet???

In this episode, the hosts delve into the reliability of the Bible, with a particular focus on the moral content of scripture and its implications for one's faith. They discuss how younger generations perceive the Bible as unreliable due to its moral teachings, particularly in relation to contemporary cultural values. Christianity does have a clear moral vision, but most importantly, it finds its stability in Christ.

Ever wonder if God is depriving his people of anything good? Today Emma Dotter is joined by Watermark staff member Shelby Carnefix to discuss Psalm 79-85.

Spend time reflecting on these questions today: Where are the good things that God is providing for me that I may not be seeing?What do I need to bring before the Lord so that I can experience the fullness of his joy?Respond in worship with Psalm 84 (Better is One Day) by The Worship Initiative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoQmnCvT2g0To hear more of Shelby's story, check out her previous episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-131-psalm-1-8/id1600151923?i=1000710852348&l=pt-BR

What if Heaven is better than you ever imagined—so good you don't even have the words?This week, we explore what the Bible actually says about heaven, not just myths or cartoons, but a place of healing, wholeness, and unimaginable joy. From the scars we carry to the deepest longings we chase, Jesus doesn't just promise to make things new; He promises to make them better. Jim walks us through our longing for real fulfillment and why the best moments in life are just a shadow of what's to come.Heaven isn't a downgrade from Earth; it's the full upgrade. Think beauty, intimacy, joy, and peace without limits. You'll be healed. You'll be whole. You'll be fully known and loved by the One who made you. Every scar that tells a story of faithfulness won't be erased—they'll shine with glory.

Richard Nisley, from Westfield, New Jersey, USA

In today's society it is easy to be swayed from what the Bible calls sin and begin believing that certain sins are okay. We, as Christians, need to be careful of this and stand firm in what Scripture says, while at the same time proclaiming the love and forgiveness that God has for everyone who believes and repents.

Being ignored often hurt more than even being in an argument...

We explore a further act of rebellion by Israelites in the wilderness, led by Korah against Moses and Aaron. Despite witnessing numerous miracles, the people continue to disobey God's commands. Korah disputes Aaron's role as high priest, leading to a divine test that ends with a dramatic display of God's judgment. The ground splits open, swallowing Korah and his followers, while a plague claims nearly 15,000 lives.Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

What if being great with money doesn't guarantee you're doing great with your spouse?If you're the “money person” in your marriage, you may think you're doing everything right. But what if your spouse feels shut out of the process? It happens more than you think. Shaunti Feldhahn joins us today to talk about how you can avoid that disconnect or fix it if need be.Shaunti Feldhahn is a Harvard graduate, former Wall Street analyst, social researcher, best-selling author, and a prominent public speaker. She is the co-author of Thriving in Love and Money: 5 Game-Changing Insights about Your Relationship, Your Money, and Yourself, written with her husband, Jeff, and has co-authored several books with him, revealing impactful truths about relationships at home and in the workplace.Honor What Your Spouse ValuesMoney-minded individuals often unknowingly send the message that their spouse's financial opinions don't matter. Even with good intentions and solid planning, failing to honor what your spouse values can damage not just your finances but your marriage.Spouses who handle the finances might assume they're right and the other is wrong. That unspoken belief, even if subtle, can lead one partner to feel dismissed—and that's a dangerous place to be.About two-thirds of spouses believe they know better than their partner how to manage finances. This is similar to how most people think they're above-average drivers—statistically improbable, but psychologically common.While it's okay to have differing financial opinions, it becomes a problem when one partner consistently feels unheard or undervalued. Many “money people” may not even realize they're doing this, but over time, it fosters resentment and undermines trust.Different Values, Different PrioritiesMore than 80% of couples have differing financial values, which are often rooted in their childhood experiences, temperaments, or faith priorities.For instance, one spouse may believe saving for college is urgent and non-negotiable. The other may feel that making memories with their children while they are young, such as taking a trip to Disney, is equally important. Neither is wrong. They're just different.The danger lies in assuming that one value system is superior. If one spouse feels their values are constantly being overlooked, resentment can quietly grow until it spills over into other areas of the relationship.The real danger isn't only in the budget—it's in the relationship.If one person starts to feel like their opinions don't matter, it doesn't just affect money decisions. It becomes a marriage issue.And this dynamic can even show up in financial advisor meetings, where professionals may unintentionally direct conversations toward the more financially-minded spouse. This reinforces the problem and risks charting a course toward relational misalignment.Three Steps Toward Greater Financial UnityIn her article for Faithful Steward, Shaunti offers three practical steps to bring both voices to the table:Ask Each Other a Simple QuestionAt a neutral time—say, over morning coffee—ask:“On a scale of 1 to 5, how heard and valued do you feel in our financial decisions?”If the answer isn't a 5, it's a red flag—time for a deeper conversation. Treat Less-than-Perfect Answers SeriouslyA “3” or “4” means something isn't connecting. Don't ignore it. The goal is for both spouses to feel their voice and values are part of the plan, even when you disagree. Explore Your Financial Values TogetherChapter 3 of her book, Thriving in Love and Money, maps out different “money values”—how people view experiences vs. things, time vs. money, or convenience vs. frugality. Shaunti encourages couples to read the chapter together (or separately with notes in the margins) to uncover hidden assumptions.Real-Life Insight: The $1.50 LessonShaunti also shares a personal example: she values time and convenience, so she's happy to pay an extra $1.50 per movie ticket to reserve seats in advance. Jeff, her husband, sees that as unnecessary—he'd rather arrive early to save money.Neither is “right.” However, understanding each other's values helped them approach decisions with greater ease and grace, rather than conflict.Remember, resentment is like a slow leak—it can go unnoticed until the tire blows out. But the antidote is simply listening with love and curiosity.You can read her full article in Faithful Steward, our quarterly magazine designed to help you connect your faith with your finances.

So he refused the king's offer to go back to the palace and have a meal. Hearing what signs the mysterious prophet had done, an old prophet in the city left to go find the man of God. When he found him, he lied to him and brought him back into the city to enjoy a meal.

We all have hopes and dreams. But at some point, reality sets in: dreams don’t always come true. Abraham and Sarah in the Bible were there, too. Little did they know, God was working behind the scenes for them the whole time. God promised them something, and he delivered—and he will for you, too.

John 12:30-50,

Psalm 134, Psalm 146-150

In this powerful message from Matthew 3:1–12, we unpack the real purpose behind John the Baptist's ministry—and how it demanded a radical shift in Israel's perspective. John wasn't just calling for personal reflection—he was announcing the soon arrival of YHWH and the literal, physical, Messianic Kingdom promised to Israel. This wasn't some vague Greco-Roman idea of an inner kingdom in the heart. It was a national, earthly reign just as the prophets foretold. John's baptism symbolized a public commitment to believe God's message and accept the Messiah when He appeared. It pointed forward to the cleansing and forgiveness God would offer through Jesus (cf. Ezekiel 36:25–27; Zechariah 13:1). Those who believed John's message were spiritually prepared for the coming of Christ. This sermon invites you to reconsider your own perspective. Are you seeing reality clearly—or through the wrong lens?

A man makes many decisions every day, but when he is dead he cannot simply choose to become alive again. Many Christians assume that every person has the natural moral ability to exercise his or her free wil unto salvation. But the Bible declares that every person is born spiritually dead in trespasses and sins and must be born again by the sovereign grace of God. Has the Lord transformed you by his sovereign work of salvation? To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29

There is a wide array of different church affiliations out there around the world and many have *very* differing points of view on many different things. But there are some common threads found through the spectrum. First, most believe that they pretty much use the Bible as the source for their beliefs. Second, they mix an "old covenant" that Israel was under with a new and better covenant established after Jesus died. The first covenant came through Moses and was based on pursuing righteousness by works and deeds. The second came by Jesus Christ, bringing a realization of grace and the gift of righteousness *apart* from works and deeds. Two very different covenants—manifested at different times—and were not alike. Naturally, this begs the question: Why do so many Christians and churches feel the need to have a "balance" by mixing law and grace? We offer some possibilities on this week's program. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7
