Reigning with Jesus TS Wright Can there be any doubt that we are living in, what the Bible describes as, “The Last Days?” What is especially concerning to me is how the entire world is coming against Israel right now – when all they are doing is reacting to an unprovoked, barbaric attack on innocent civilians. The United Nations is even trying to impose their authority over Israel's sovereignty! Just over the last day or so, the UN has “demanded Israel stop all attacks on Rafa and withdraw from the area.” Three nations came out and “demanded” a “two state solution” – in effect, telling Israel to “surrender” to Hamas. In addition, there is the radical leftists in Congress who also want Israel to surrender and give land to the terrorists… In case you haven't read your Bible, this is the exact scenario depicted in the Book of the Revelation that will take place in the End Times. If there was ever any doubt that we are living in the last of the last days – what we see happening right now should prove it! Amen! Scott Wright is the author of the “God Centered Concept Journal” and has a unique insight into prophecy and the end times. Help me welcome back to the program, Scott Wright! Scott, it's great to have you back on with us today! If there was ever a doubt that we are drawing closer and closer to the soon return of Jesus, I just don't think any rational person could doubt it any longer… do you? As we are recording this today, the jury will receive the case to deliberate in the third world trial of Donald Trump. There are hundreds of tornadoes that swept across the United States these last few days, killing and destroying, in some cases, entire towns in their wake. We have inflation running rampant; crime in the streets; emptying of prisons, what is right is called wrong – what the Bible says is wrong is called right…I could go on and on… Bottom line – really, truly, in my opinion, the ONLY thing we can look forward to IS the “Return of Jesus” at this point… what do you think? With that being said, we do have a promise given to believers by Jesus Himself… in Revelation 3:21, we read, “To him that overcomes, I will grant to sit WITH ME on MY THRONE, even as I overcame and have sit down with my Father on His Throne.” Share how all of this relates together and what we will be able to look forward to in the very near future (according to this verse)… How does all of this relate to what we opened with – the “End Times?” Abraham Lincoln once said, “All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River…No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we will live forever or die by suicide.”I think the rope is already around the neck of this nation and we are teetering on the edge of the chair – right now. You've heard me say before, it really does not matter WHO wins this next election…in my opinion, and this is just my thoughts on the matter – if Biden wins, the USA will become a third world nation… if Trump wins, I believe World War 3 is on the horizon… and one EMP, well placed, will throw the United States back into the 1700's lifestyle in just one day… and we will be forever cast off. I truly believe that is the reason the United States is not mentioned as an end time player in the Bible… Again, just my opinion… but there it is…BUT – it's not ALL doom and gloom… why? Because WE have a promise… that promise is Eternal Life. It may not be “happy days are here again” – but it will be “Happy Days” when we get to...

What is this bizarre Book of Revelation about? And what is the author's real message? Today we consider the final chapter in Marcus Borg's book, Reading the Bible Again for the First Time. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheila-macgregor/message

In this podcast, as we explore chapter 7 of Borg's "Reading the Bible Again for the First Time," we take a fascinating tour through Israel's Wisdom literature: the Book of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Book of Job. Borg explains the difference between the kind of Conventional Wisdom we find in Proverbs and the more "Subversive" or "Alternative" Wisdom we encounter in Ecclesiastes and Job. He also invites us to consider whether ours is a "firsthand religion" or a "secondhand religion". Is our faith based on what others have told us about God or about our own personal experience of God -- or both? --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheila-macgregor/message

Or were they addressing issues much more urgent and pressing to their own day -- issues that are still pertinent in our time. There is so much in the Hebrew Prophets from which we can learn. Hope you will take a couple of minutes and listen to this podcast based on Marcus Borg's book, "Reading the Bible Again for the First Time." --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheila-macgregor/message

In chapter three of Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, Marcus Borg invites us to consider the Bible using an historical-metaphorical approach. He notes that the historical and the metaphorical lenses provide two large umbrella that help us to discern the meaning of the scriptures. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheila-macgregor/message

In chapter two of Borg's book, "Reading the Bible Again for the First Time", we look at the Bible as the reflections of two ancient communities that share their experiences and stories of God. We also consider what it means to talk about the Bible as "sacred" or foundational to our identity; the sacramental nature of the scriptures; and what it means to speak about the Bible as the Word of God. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sheila-macgregor/message

Over the coming weeks I will be sharing some key ideas from each of the chapters of "Reading the Bible Again for the First Time" by the famous biblical scholar, Marcus J. Borg.

Die Bibel hatte einen prägenden Einfluss auf meine Glaubensgeschichte. So prägend, dass es mir nun mit all meinen Fragen und Zweifeln oft schwerfällt, mich ihr zu nähern. Welchen Mehrwert hat es, die Bibel zu lesen? Und wie geht das, ohne in die alten Interpretationsmuster und Wahrheitsansprüche zu verfallen? Zum Glück bin ich mit diesen Fragen nicht alleine und ich bin dankbar für so viele Menschen, die neue Zugangswege zu diesen alten Texten finden. Eine davon ist Evelyne Baumberger vom Reflab in Zürich, mit der ich heute über ihre Geschichte mit Bibel und Theologie spreche. Nützliche Links zur Episode und das Kleingedruckte: Auf Instagram ist Eveylne als @evelyne_baum unterwegs. Mehr über das Reflab kannst du auf Instagram oder ihrer Website erfahren. Wenn dich die Hiking Church interessiert, solltest du hier mal vorbeischauen. Weiterführende Literatur zum Thema Bibel wäre z.B. Womanist Midrash von Wil Gafney oder der Podcast Bible for Normal People. Außerdem spricht Evelyne im Oktober bei der “Younify” Konferenz zum Thema Bibel – vielleicht ist das was für dich?

What is Faith?  Bonnie, Jeff, Casey, and Rajeev share perspectives that are found just beyond the edge of clarity - “objects” are visible but there is little certainty about what those objects might be. After all, faith is murky and shifty.  As the crew discusses the evolution of their personal faith journeys they confront each other by what is meant by faith and how the misunderstanding and misuse of the term has caused a lot of confusion within, and between, people.  The hosts delve into the realities, and tensions, of whether faith is a personal thing, a communal thing, neither, or both. True to the Irenicast way - you may have to decide this for yourself.  After a winding and personal conversation on faith, the team finishes off this episode with a round of “Faith Songs.” Brace yourself for some cringes, some “oh yea, that's my jam,” and “oh, hell to the no.”  And - if you are up for it, the hosts would love to hear your definition, understanding, experience, of faith.

Hopefully you will hear a change in this episode as the sound quality has improved. In it, Jen and Steve (and Steve's gravelly long-COVID voice) grapple with the question, "Does God Change?" Discussion veers to the value of prayer and the infallibility of the Bible. They also talk about the Sodom and Gomorrah saga, and how it seems like God changes his mind in that story -- either that, or he sets up our lives like a Choose Your Own Adventure story, which is unsettling in its own right. Do you grapple with doubt? Are you in a position where you don't feel like you can voice it? We'd love to hear from you!

Contained in this episode are four reasons why I still read the Bible despite how much my faith has shifted and morphed. Whatever your reason, I encourage you to read Scripture with humility and intellectual honesty. That will make all the difference in the world. Ultimately, don't worship the words; rather, worship the one to whom the words point! Just a few of the books that have been resources for me over the past five years when thinking about the Bible: Christian Smith (The Bible Made Impossible: Why Biblicism Is Not a Truly Evangelical Reading of Scripture), Richard Rohr (What do we do with the Bible), Rachel Held Evans (Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again), Leslie Newbigen (A Walk thru the Bible), and Peter Enns (How the Bible Actually Works: In Which I Explain How an Ancient, Ambiguous, and Diverse Book Leads Us to Wisdom Rather Than Answers - and Why That's Great News)

I'm so thankful for Dr. Kimberly Majeski! She is an ordained minister in the Church of God (Anderson).

Dr. Jackie Minor currently serves as the Director of District Implementation for Kagan Professional Development. She spent the first 22 years of her educational career in public education serving as an elementary school teacher, middle school English teacher, K–12 gifted education facilitator, building principal, school improvement specialist, and assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. For the past 14 years Jackie has worked with educators across the United States and 8 foreign countries. Everywhere she goes she finds Christian educators who need encouragement and support.

Rachel talks with Carrie Thompson about the Bible and its paradoxes through the words of Rachel Held Evans in her final book “Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again.” They discuss how the Bible can be specific and universal, how it has been used for exclusion and inclusion, and the ways it exists and has been read as both feminist and non-feminist.

Welcome back to the first episode of the New Year! I'm so excited to bring you lots of great episodes with many smart and interesting guests in 2020. The first of which is Bible teacher and apologist Jean E. Jones who joins me on today's podcast to talk about why God might seem different in the Old Testament. As many of us are beginning our Bible reading plans for the year, Jean E. gives us some great advice and talks about specific verses that leave many people scratching their heads and thinking, "God is mean!"

This is part 1 of our 11 part series, "Setting the Bible Free".  In this episode I give some background and context to the series, explain what the name means, and give you a sneak peak behind the curtain at all the guests we have lined up for the show.  Over the course of the next 11 weeks we'll look at different ideas about what the Bible is, progressive ways of thinking about the Bible, and will tackle some theologies, doctrines, and well known Bible passages all from a perspective that is different than what many of traditions have handed us.   #LOVEWINS HOODIE! What If Project Patreon What If Project Community (some of the) Books That Have Influenced My Thinking On The Bible: - Rethinking the Bible by Thomas Oord - Jesus' Bible by Christopher Dost - What Is The Bible by Rob Bell - Reading the Bible Again for the First Time by Marcus Borg - How to Read the Bible by Harvey Cox - How the Bible Actually Works by Pete Enns  

Throughout the history of Christianity, people have used the Bible to try to ban women from leading. In this episode of God Help Us, I talk with Pastor Kari Olson about what the Bible says about women having authority in the church and over men and what those implications might be for our social and political lives in a country steeped in Christian heritage. In this episode, Kari mentions the books Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again by Rachel Held Evans and Junia: First Woman Apostle by Eldon Jay Epp. For further reading, she recommends Young Clergy Women International’s online magazine and the Women’s Bible Commentary. You can find more content from Kari and reach out to her via fallspres.org and by following East Falls Presbyterian Church on Facebook. Two sites I mention in this episode are The Junia Project, a progressive site about egalitarian leadership - and Desiring God, a site by John Piper that promotes hierarchical gender roles.

Like so many, we were devastated by the news of Rachel Held Evans’s death last weekend. Rachel’s willingness to write candidly and prophetically about her faith inspired countless believers and doubters. The importance of Rachel’s life and work is clear from the outpouring of grief and love that’s emerged from her death. To honor her life and legacy, we wanted to re-air our interview with Rachel from last year. We spoke to Rachel about her book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again. Rest in peace, Rachel. In Signs of the Times, we discuss whether or not we like when priests improvise at Mass, the legacy of L’Arche founder, Jean Vanier and the new editorial director of the Vatican women’s magazine. Thoughts on this week’s show? Join the discussions happening with other Jesuitical listeners (and hosts and producers!) on our Facebook group. This week’s episode was sponsored by Sunday to Sunday with Fr. Mike Russo, a new online video series that explores the art, craft and spirituality of preaching.   Links from the show: Rachel Held Evans, Christian writer of honesty and humor, dies at age 37 Dear priests who improvise at Mass: Please don’t.

On Episode 213 of the Mama Bear Dares Podcast, Leslie and Tesi re-release an episode that aired last summer with the late Rachel Held Evans. The two struggle to say goodbye to this thinker, writer, and modern-day prophet. Rachel was someone both women looked up to immensely and the sisters grieve at her passing. During this conversation, Tesi and Rachel talk about the faith, justice, and a Mama Bear's response to the world we live in. They specifically dive into Rachel's book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, and wade through new answers to age-old questions like: How do you love your neighbor when you vehemently disagree with their beliefs? How do you overcome personal insecurities and be an advocate for truth and justice? What can we learn from the bible about satire, resistance, peace, and cultural disruption? Leslie and Tesi will spend the week mourning the loss of this sister and fellow Mama Bear. They hope listeners will continue to read Rachel’s books and blogs and be challenged to think about how faith and culture drive their perspective and how their response can bend toward justice, liberation, and love.

What is it like to live with OCD every day? In this episode, I walk you through a typical day in the life of having Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. For some, a typical day is filled with a variety of compulsions and high-intensity fears. For others, a typical day can be much less intensive. I often fall into the latter category because my intrusive thoughts are often only triggered by very specific things, which is why on this particular episode you'll hear me talk more about those triggers rather than how often I'm performing compulsions. Remember: Every person living with OCD is going to experience it differently. This is only one story. Thank you for listening!

On Episode 172 of the Mama Bear Dares Podcast, Tesi sits down with the thinker, writer, and modern-day prophet Rachel Held Evans to talk about the faith, justice, and a Mama Bear's response to the world we live in. The two dive into Rachel's new book, Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again, as they wade through a new answer to age-old questions like: How do you love your neighbor when you vehemently disagree with their beliefs? How do you overcome personal insecurities and be an advocate for truth and justice? What can we learn from the bible about satire, resistance, peace, and cultural disruption? Ultimately, the conversation challenges listeners to think about how faith and culture drives their perspective and how their response can bend toward justice, liberation, and love.

Rachel Held Evans grew up loving the bible. Like, was on her high school’s homecoming court representing the Bible club. She was taught to honor and defend it from all its enemies, science and history included. But her Biblical worldview started to fall apart in college. Neat, pre-packaged answers that she was taught weren’t satisfying anymore. “I never had permission to challenge the Bible,” Rachel told us on this week’s podcast. “And yet when I began doing that it's like all these new layers of meaning began to unfold and it became a richer experience.” Rachel talks to us this week about her new book, “Inspired: Slaying Giants, Walking on Water, and Loving the Bible Again.” We talk about why finding enchantment in the Bible is important, how to teach Bible stories to your kids and more. In this week’s rundown of Catholic news, we discuss what Catholic organizations are doing to help immigrant families separated at the border; Philippine priests seeking gun permits in light of recent murders; and a Kenyan priest who was suspended from ministry for rapping.

The first scripture reading this morning, the sixth Sunday of Easter, is Genesis chapter 3, verses 1 – 6 and verse 20. During our “Reading the Bible Again for the First Time” Bible Study on Tuesday night, we read this piece of Genesis discussing the historical context in which it was written and seeking out our own metaphors within the creation myths. As you encounter this piece of scripture now, try to do it like it was your first time – without any preconceived notions about what it means or how it should all be interpreted. Let's listen now to the woman who would be named Eve:
