Dr. David Baer, an alum of Wheaton College, is Professor of Old Testament & Biblical Languages at Medellín's Biblical Seminary of Colombia and directs United World Mission's Theological Education Initiative. He talks about how ancient translators of the Hebrew resisted the language of Isa 57:15 so as to preserve a strong notion of God's exalted status. In fact, this verse communicates the truth that the high and holy God actually dwells with the lowly.
Guest/Bio: This week we bring back one of our favorite guests, Dr. Drew Hart. Drew G. I. Hart is a professor in theology, an author, and an activist with ten years of pastoral experience. His undergraduate work was in biblical studies at Messiah College, he received his Masters of Divinity degree with an urban concentration at Biblical Seminary, and he recently defended his dissertation in the field of theology and ethics at Lutheran Theological Seminary at Philadelphia. Currently he is a part-time professor for several PA seminaries and schools but in the Fall of 2016 he begins teaching full-time as an assistant professor in theology at Messiah College. Drew spent most of his young adult years leading and mentoring black and brown youth as a pastor, working for an inner city after-school program, and working closely with Philadelphia based nonprofits. Today, along with teaching theology, Drew is currently passionate about partnering with community groups and churches to facilitate anti-racism training and seminars, as well as delivering lectures, talks, and sermons. Regularly speaking at churches, conferences, and colleges, Drew brings together his pastoral experience with his academic training to challenge the Church on a variety of topics. He has been particularly invested in conversations on white supremacy and racism and their entanglements with western Christianity, but Drew also speaks and writes about Christian discipleship, western Christendom, Christian history, liberation and oppression, peacemaking and nonviolent resistance, urban ministry, social media, etc. Drew has a Christian Century hosted blog entitled ‘Taking Jesus Seriously’, while also writing occasionally for The Mennonite as well.

In Psalm 145, we see God not only able to meet our needs, He is able to sustain the world, meeting the basic needs of everything. We usually take this for granted. But there lies a key difference between our world and God's kingdom. In heaven, this basic caretaking equals strength and might. It is what makes God worthy of our worship. In this season at Bel Air Presbyterian Church, we want to be about heavenly strength and might. Watch to see God show us through Elizabeth what is truly "newsworthy".
