Send us Fan MailSo… what if the greatest threat to faith isn't doubt—but being absolutely certain you already understand everything?EPISODE NOTESEvan went to a pastors' conference in Dry Ridge, Kentucky, and received a free pass to the Ark Encounter. Naturally, we made him review it.The verdict: the building itself is genuinely impressive. The empty cages with fake animal growls, dinosaur “kinds,” Ark-era blacksmith shop, and animatronic biblical world-building were… less convincing.What begins as a review of Christian Disneyland quickly becomes a much bigger conversation about young-earth creationism, old-earth creationism, science, biblical interpretation, and what happens when one person's theory gets presented as the only faithful way to read Scripture.The real issue isn't whether someone believes the earth is young or old. It's the insistence that one interpretation is the load-bearing brick holding all of Christianity together. When churches teach speculation as unquestionable fact, they don't protect people's faith. They make it dangerously fragile.The conversation digs into the different kinds of writing found in Scripture, why the Bible isn't a science or history textbook, and how the Noah story speaks within the world of ancient Mesopotamian flood narratives. Rather than merely answering questions about dinosaurs, geological layers, and animal storage, the story reveals something far more important about the character, redemption, and purposes of God.From there, we talk about how churches teach children, why pastors need actual theological formation, and how both fundamentalist and progressive readings can flatten Scripture in opposite directions.Eventually, we arrive at the real theological tension: doubt may not be the enemy of faith at all. Doubt requires faith—because you can only wrestle with something you first care enough to believe. Certainty, however, can eliminate curiosity, growth, transformation, and the need for faith altogether.Also, Evan gives the Ark Encounter a 2/10.One point for the zoo.

The Curse of Ham is a theological idea that has been used throughout history in attempts to explain slavery, racial distinctions, and even racial hierarchy. But what does the biblical text actually say?In this episode of Conversations That Matter, Jon Harris examines Genesis 9 and the historical interpretations surrounding Ham and Canaan. Was Ham actually cursed? What was Ham's sin? Does the text support the increasingly popular maternal incest theory? Why was Canaan cursed instead of Ham? And when did the idea emerge that the Curse of Ham applied to African peoples?We examine the biblical text, early Jewish and Christian interpretations, church history, and the later development of racial applications of this passage.The goal is not to force modern political concerns into Scripture, but to understand Genesis on its own terms and examine the historical record honestly.00:00 The Curse of Ham Theology Is Back 05:20 What Does Genesis 9 Actually Say? 13:55 The Maternal Incest Theory Examined 19:12 Why Was Canaan Cursed Instead of Ham? 28:30 How Jewish and Christian Writers Interpreted the Curse 35:40 When Did the Curse Become Connected to Black Skin? 39:30 The Curse of Ham and African Slavery 45:00 Modern Race and Biblical Interpretation 52:00 The Prophetic Meaning of Noah's Blessings and Curse 59:00 What Did Calvin and Other Theologians Actually Believe?Jon's Music: jonharristunes.comTo Support the Podcast: https://www.jonharrismedia.com/support/Become a Patronhttps://www.patreon.com/jonharrispodcastSubstack: https://substack.com/@jonharris Follow Jon on Twitter: https://twitter.com/jonharris1989Follow Jon on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jonharris1989/Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/conversations-that-matter8971/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
In this episode Sandra Glahn helps us read Scripture the way we already know how to read a story. We talk about the women we've skipped as bunny trails, handed only to women, flattened into ideals, or made into sinners the text never called sinners — Tamar, the woman at the well, Abigail, Job's daughters, Rhoda at the door. We get into reading bigger sections instead of verse-sized fragments, what place and naming and silence are doing on purpose, translations that narrow the room, and why the hard texts still need preaching. There is more here than most of us have been trained to see.Dr Sandra Glahn is a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary and the cofounder of the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity. She is the author or coauthor of more than 25 books, including the forthcoming "A Woman's Place Is in the Story: Seeing Women in the Biblical Text."Sandra's Book:A Woman's Place Is in the StorySandra's Recommendation:Theo of GoldenConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@shiftingculturepodcast.comGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Stuart Wachowicz - TVCA1502 - Throughout mankind's history, illness, depression, crime, and war have been thought of as unfortunate but normal. Considerations of global societies where none of these problems exist are often dismissed as fanciful tales of ‘utopia.' ‘Utopia' usually refers to an imaginary state, not something that could happen in the real world. The Bible contains many prophecies of a time when conditions on the earth will lack the unpleasant realities we now consider normal. Explore the better world that will soon replace our present world order.
Today, on Karl and Crew, we kicked off our weekly theme, “5 Senses.” Dr. Winfred Neely, the Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute, explored how our senses can point us toward a deeper experience of God and His presence. Next, Dave Hataj, the author of “Good Work: How Blue Collar Business Can Change Lives, Communities, and the World,” explained why blue-collar work matters to God and how using our hands with excellence, integrity, and purpose can make a lasting impact. We then turn to our listeners and pose the question, “Tell us about a time when god touched your heart through the healthy physical touch of another person.” You can hear the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.

Title: Breaking the Cyclical CurseScripture Reading: Genesis 9:20-29 ESVSeries: Bizarre BibleWhat if the bizarre story of Noah and Ham isn't just about nakedness, but a deeper, cyclical sin? This sermon challenges the common interpretation of Noah and Ham's story, through 4 Cs: the Crime, the Curse, the Cycle, and the Cure. Just like Ham, we carry the same cyclical sin in our heart today. How do we break that curse? Look to the only one who can cure the cycle, Jesus.

Title: BEARing the Burden of BaldnessScripture Reading: II Kings 2:23-25Series: Bizarre BibleTaylor Englund joins Pastor Bill to discuss if Elisha overreacted by cursing 42 boys for mocking his baldness, or if there is a deeper, cosmic meaning behind this bizarre Bible story. This episode unpacks the strange narrative of Elisha and the two bears, revealing it's more than a prophet's overreaction. It explores 4 "P"s: the "place" of Bethel, a center of idolatry, and Elisha as the "prophet," a new Joshua leading a spiritual conquest. The "perpetrators" were young adults challenging God's authority, leading to a divine "punishment" that validated Elisha's role in reclaiming God's cosmic territory through spiritual warfare. As members of God's royal family, we are called to continue Jesus' cosmic mission, revealing His victory and reclaiming spiritual territory by spreading the good news of His Kingdom.

Many Christians appreciate heartfelt worship, but where is the line between genuine spiritual expression and emotionalism? Critics have long argued that Pentecostals place too much emphasis on feelings, while Pentecostals maintain that biblical faith engages both the heart and the mind.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical role of emotions in the Christian life and addresses one of the most common criticisms of Pentecostal worship. He explains what Scripture teaches about the role of emotional expression in worship and how Pentecostals should respond to accusations that they elevate emotion above biblical truth.Whether you are a lifelong Pentecostal, new to the faith, or simply interested in learning what the Bible says about worship, this episode provides a balanced, biblical perspective on the relationship between truth and emotion in corporate worship and in the life of the individual believer.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Did Peter and Paul preached different gospels? Some proponents of hyper-dispensationalism argue that the church did not begin on the Day of Pentecost but later with the ministry of the apostle Paul. If that were true, they contend, Peter's message in Acts 2—including his command to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ—was intended for Israel alone and is not binding on the church today.In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard examines the biblical claims behind hyper-dispensationalism and explains why the New Testament consistently presents one gospel, one church, and one plan of salvation. He explores the relationship between the ministries of Peter and Paul, the significance of the Day of Pentecost, and the continuing relevance of Acts 2:38 for believers today.Whether you've encountered hyper-dispensationalist arguments online or simply want to better understand the relationship between Israel, the church, Peter, and Paul, this episode will help you interpret the New Testament with greater confidence and biblical clarity.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we wrapped up our weekly theme, "Temptation," by discussing various temptations with experts in their fields and how they overcome them. Dr. Winfred Neely joined us to discuss the temptation to manage worry in our own strength. He explained the difference between worry and concern and how believers can experience God’s peace by drawing near to Him in faith. Dr. Neely is Professor Emeritus of Old Testament, Biblical Interpretation, and Preaching at Moody Bible Institute and author of "How to Overcome Worry – Experiencing the Peace of God in Every Situation." Dr. Michael Rydelnik also joined us to talk about spiritual conflict in the Middle East, the danger of remaining silent in the face of evil, and how believers can stand firm by reading, meditating on, and speaking the Word of God. Dr. Rydelnik is Professor Emeritus of Jewish Studies and Bible and an Adjunct Professor in the undergraduate program at Moody Bible Institute. He is the author of "How Should Christians Think About Israel?" Omer Eshel joined us from Israel to discuss the reported protests in Gaza against Hamas. He explained how many Palestinian civilians are seeking freedom from Hamas’ control, urging believers to pray for peace, protection, and the people caught in the middle. Omer is the CEO and Co-founder of The Bible Comes to Life Travel and Educational Center. We then opened the phone lines to hear from our listeners and posed the question, “What temptation has God given you victory over?” You can catch the highlights of today’s program on the Karl and Crew Showcast If you're looking to hear a particular segment from the show, look at the following time stamps:Dr. Winfred Neely [ 44:34 ]Dr. Michael Rydelnik [ 13:38 ]Omer Eshel [ 7:04 ]Caller Segment [ 32:27 ]Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/morningshowSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In service on Sunday, our Apostle taught on the topic: The Science of Biblical Interpretation. One of the major truths emphasized was that the Bible is a book about Jesus.
Title: Is He Spiderman or is He Spiderman?Scripture Reading: Judges 6:11-24Series: Bizarre BibleToday we welcome Taylor Englund for podcast-style message. Taylor and Pastor Bill delve into Gideon's perplexing encounter with the Angel of the LORD, revealing how the Angel of the LORD is often a pre-incarnate manifestation of God the Son. It demonstrates that the concept of the Trinity, or Godhead, is deeply rooted in Old Testament scripture. Embrace the thoroughly biblical truth of the Trinity, understanding that God, in His complex and powerful nature, uses the weak to display His glory and deserves our exclusive worship.
What did Christ proclaim to the “spirits in prison” after His resurrection? How does 1 Peter 3:18–22 reveal His triumph over the powers of darkness and affirm the certainty of God's victory?
Among the luminaries of the early Church were two brothers: Basil the Great and Gregory of Nyssa. Both were bishops, wrote theological treatises and made important contributions to the Church. And yet their style of biblical interpretation was very different. How and why?

What happens when public accusations of heresy are made without clear evidence?In this urgent Lead Time conversation, Rev. Dr. Jim Voelz and Rev. Dr. Mark Hoehner join Tim Ahlman to discuss ethics, truth, the Eighth Commandment, public criticism, and the responsibility Christians have when making serious accusations inside the church.The conversation centers on recent criticisms of Dr. Voelz's work, including claims tied to Seminex 2.0, Christian News, and debates around biblical interpretation, postmodernism, and confessional Lutheran theology. But the deeper question is bigger than one person:Can the LCMS recover a more faithful way to disagree?References discussed in this episode include James W. Voelz's What Does This Mean?, Principles of Biblical Interpretation for Everyone, Christian News, the Seminex 2.0 document, Matthew 18, Proverbs 6, Galatians 2, Acts 15, and Alan Kreider's The Patient Ferment of the Early Church.Support the show⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️Care about the future of the LCMS?Join the LCMS Current!

Send us Fan MailNEW EPISODE - I'm so pleased to welcome back my friend Peter Wehner — political thinker, former White House speechwriter, regular contributor to The Atlantic and The New York Times, and one of the most thoughtful Christian voices speaking into America's moral and political turmoil.Peter joins me to discuss four remarkable recent *essays that confront some of the darkest and most urgent questions facing our nation right now. Together, we explore the rise of militant Christian nationalism, the theology and rhetoric surrounding Pete Hegseth, and the dangerous fusion of political grievance, religious certainty, and the language of holy war.Peter examines how biblical texts — especially the imprecatory Psalms — are being weaponized to justify aggression, vengeance, and even bloodlust in modern political life. We talk about the influence of figures like Douglas Wilson, the appeal to “King David” spirituality, and why many respected biblical scholars insist that the conquest ethic of the Old Testament cannot be used as a model for Christian political action today. As Peter argues, the Sermon on the Mount stands as a direct repudiation of that worldview.We also step back from the headlines to reflect on our deeply fractured culture — our polarization, loneliness, loss of community, and longing for what the Hebrew Scriptures call shalom. Along the way, we draw wisdom from voices like Desmond Tutu, Rowan Williams, and David Bentley Hart.This is an honest, sobering, and ultimately hopeful conversation about faith, power, truth, and the soul of America. I hope you'll join us.*See SHOW NOTES for Pete's four recent essays.Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Are Violent Bible Passages Being Used to Justify War?

In this week's episode of The Bible for Normal People, Pete and Jared talk with Chris Hoklotubbe and Danny Zacharias about biblical interpretation through an Indigenous American perspective. They explore how cultural identity, history, and social location shape the way people read Scripture, and why Indigenous perspectives challenge assumptions many Christians take for granted. Together, they invite listeners to read the Bible more thoughtfully, remaining aware of their own context and open to voices that have too often been overlooked.
