Podcasts about biblical imagination

Let's use our "Biblical Imagination" (credit Michael Card) to put ourselves into the greatest stories of the Bible.  Let's receive the same challenges that Nicodemus and the Samaritan Woman at the well receive.  Let's put our first steps of faith into the gap that Jesus leaves. This is the best of John.  Today we'll hear the best line in the Bible because it is the best reality of the gospelhttps://youtu.be/jyiqKfaGEXA

Dr. Soong-Chan Rah kicks off our new series with a challenge to counter the narrative of empire. We do this by showing compassion, mercy and justice just the way Jesus did – that's the way the church shines brightest.

Abraham and Sarah in the Biblical Imagination Abraham and Sarah Key Figures in the Bible. Abraham is mentioned in nearly every part of the Bible, and the story of his journey from Babylon to Canaan, the tales of his failures and his faith, and the covenant promises that God makes to him are all foundational…

How does the Bible interpret itself? In this episode, Dr. Brent Strawn joins The Biblical Mind Podcast to explore intertextuality—the ways biblical authors intentionally or unconsciously connect their writings to earlier texts. Strawn breaks down different types of intertextuality, from direct citations (like Jesus quoting Psalm 22) to subtle patterns that only emerge when we read scripture holistically. Together with Dru Johnson, Strawn unpacks how intertextuality deepens biblical meaning and why recognizing these connections can transform the way we understand scripture. They also discuss the surprising link between Solomon and the Mark of the Beast (666) and how Revelation critiques imperial power using the legacy of Israel's wealthiest king. Strawn argues that biblical authors weren't just making random allusions—they were teaching us how to read scripture well. If we can recognize these hyperlinks, we can move beyond surface-level readings and grasp the depth of biblical theology.

DEVELOPING A BIBLICAL IMAGINATION Message by Terry Kreutzkamp – January 29, 2023 How do we bridge the gap between our head and our heart?

In this episode, co-hosts Matt Woodley and Kevin Miller reflect on what they learned about preaching, over the last four seasons of Monday Morning Preacher.  Here are the top lessons they learned in the last four years:  1.     Preaching the Word of God changes lives.  2.     Preaching is something that we never master.  3.     God uses ordinary preachers.  4.     When you do sermon prep and preach – immerse yourself in the Bible scene.  Matt said “God uses ordinary preachers, not just the superstars, not just the people with the big platforms, not just the people with the big venues but God uses ordinary preachers, sometimes in small towns, sometimes in small places.”  Your job as a preacher is to invite people into a whole new world, the life of the Kingdom of God.  Check out what was referenced on the podcast:   Wendell Berry's poem “Like Snow” on Parabola.org.   “Stick the Landing” on Preachingtoday.com “Called to Faithful, Not Successful Preaching” on Preachingtoday.com   “How to Preach with a Biblical Imagination” on Preachingtoday.com  “Preaching as a Human Exercise Centered in Christ” on Preachingtoday.com  Learn more about your ad choices.

How can you preach with a Biblical imagination? Alison Gerber, pastor at Second Congregational Church in Massachusetts explores that question with our co-host, Kevin Miller. She uses the imagination, to help the Biblical narrative come alive for her listeners. Gerber said “If we do have this purpose to see lives change. Some imagination is going to be required.”  Her first phase in sermon prep is nailing down the big idea. Gerber still employs Haddon Robinson's method of preaching: “exegeting the text, reading the text, word studies, and coming down to the core central idea.”  After that, she starts writing and developing the sermon. If it's a narrative sermon, she asks herself the question “how am I going to tell this story, or enter into it?” “Really my goal with all of this is to bring the senses into the sermon,” said Gerber. Putting your congregation into that space, of the Biblical text. Describing tactile elements help paint a picture, so that listeners can listen and see what's happening in Biblical story – that may feel foreign to them, otherwise.  Learn more about Alison on her website.

As you come before God to pray, what are you usually thinking? To some degree you are using your imagination, picturing in some way God with you and listening to you. But in the Psalms David imagined much more than that. If you pay attention you'll notice that his language of prayer is filled with intimate and powerful mental images. He used his imagination to picture his relationship with God in his mind as he prayed. Psalm 32:7-11 is a good example of how David's Spirit-inspired imagination can inspire the kind of imagination in our own prayers that help us draw closer to God in trust and joy. Psalm 32:7–11 ESV 7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah  8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.  9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.  10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the LORD.  11 Be glad in the LORD, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
