What if Christianity was never meant to be about escaping earth for heaven, but about God coming home to the world? In this episode, I sit down with N. T. Wright for a wide-ranging conversation that reclaims the Bible's larger story: heaven and earth meant to overlap, God dwelling with humanity, and new creation beginning now. We explore temples and tabernacles, resurrection and judgment, what it truly means to be human, and how the church is called to reflect God's presence in a fractured world. Drawing from Wright's latest book God's Homecoming, this conversation invites youto rethink faith, hope, justice, and the future of the world and to rediscover a gospel that is far bigger, richer, and more grounded than we thought.N. T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world's leading Bible scholars. He is Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, and Senior Editor at Saint Andrews. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and NPR's Fresh Air. Wright is the award-winning author of many books, including Paul: A Biography, Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, The Day the Revolution Began, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, and Scripture and the Authority of God.N.T.

Has the Church Replaced Israel in God's Plan?Apostolic Life in the 21st Century with Dr. David K. BernardIn light of ongoing global attention on the nation of Israel, many Christians are revisiting an important theological question: Has the church replaced Israel in God's plan, or does God still have a future purpose for the Jewish people?In this episode of Apostolic Life in the 21st Century, Dr. David K. Bernard offers a thoughtful, biblically grounded answer rooted in passages such as Romans 9–11 and Galatians 4. He explains that the church is the ultimate fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, with Israel playing a vital role in bringing forth the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Through Christ, God's promises are fulfilled not by ethnicity, but by faith, as both Jews and Gentiles are invited into the church through the work of the Holy Spirit.At the same time, Dr. Bernard clarifies that this truth does not mean God is finished with the nation of Israel. Scripture indicates that God still has a purpose and plan for their salvation.This episode brings biblical clarity and balance to a complex and often emotional topic. If you're seeking a scriptural perspective on Israel, the church, and God's plan of salvation, this conversation is essential listening.Visit PentecostalPublishing.com to shop Dr. Bernard's full catalog of published works.

Does the word "Theology" intimidate you? You aren't alone. If you have ever wondered how to understand the bible for beginners without getting overwhelmed by big words or massive books, this episode is exactly what you need.Many Christians believe theology is reserved for pastors with advanced degrees, but that couldn't be further from the truth. In this video, we reveal that "doing theology" is simply about knowing God better. We break down the five essential types of theology Micro, Biblical, Systematic, Historical, and Pastoral and show you how they are actually simple habits you can start today.Whether you are trying to understand a single verse (Exegesis) or grasp the big picture of God's story (Biblical Theology), these five methods will give you a roadmap. We also discuss why looking at church history matters and how to apply these truths to your daily life (Pastoral Theology).Stop feeling unqualified to read Scripture!

What is Biblical Theology? Isn't all Christian theology biblical? Biblical Theology is that branch of Exegetical Theology that seeks to understand the truths of Scripture according to the organic and historical nature of their unfolding revelation over the course of redemptive history.

What does it look like for Christians to pursue multicultural unity without flattening real differences—or turning ethnicity into an ultimate identity? In this episode of the Thinking Christian Podcast, Dr. James Spencer is joined by recurring guest Ben Mathew (Professor of Counselor Education at Columbia International University) to discuss multiculturalism in the church through both a clinical lens and a biblical theology lens. Ben begins with his own story: growing up in Canada as part of an Indian immigrant family, encountering racial hostility, and watching his parents respond with persistent faith and love. That lived experience shaped his lifelong interest in identity, race, and how Christians should engage “the other.” From there, Ben and James explore how ethnicity relates to a person’s overall identity—especially for Christians who want a Christian-first posture without denying the embodied realities of culture and race. Ben describes two common errors: colorblindness (ignoring ethnicity as part of a person’s story) and “color essentialism” (making ethnicity the dominant identity). The challenge is not an either/or choice, but learning to live in the tension where unity in Christ is central while diversity remains real and meaningful. The conversation also turns to Scripture: Ephesians’ vision of Jew and Gentile becoming “one new man,” Acts as a casebook for early church multicultural tensions, and Revelation’s picture of worship around the throne from every tribe, tongue, and nation. They discuss why this unity isn’t a side issue—Paul frames it as part of the gospel’s public confrontation of powers and principalities. James and Ben also touch on contemporary frameworks such as Critical Race Theory, noting the difference between observations that may describe real dynamics and prescriptions that can become spiritually or socially destructive. Throughout, they return to a distinctly Christian claim: the church is called to embody a unity the world cannot produce, and that unity becomes a living witness to Christ’s authority. Finally, Ben offers a practical starting point: cultivate curiosity about other people’s stories. That posture of “cultural humility” can soften tribal instincts, expand empathy, and help churches pursue unity for the glory of God. Topics include: Ethnicity and Christian identity Colorblindness vs. “color essentialism” Biblical theology of multicultural worship (Acts, Ephesians, Revelation) Lament, anger, and healing in the face of racial evil Systemic sin and how Christians should think about systems CRT: insights, limits, and why the gospel must remain central Concrete first steps for churches toward multicultural faithfulness Subscribe to our YouTube channel
Welcome to the inaugural episode of Biblical Theology Briefing, a podcast from The Gospel Coalition, hosted by Ben Gladd and Matt Harmon. Biblical theology is not a verse-by-verse commentary or a devotional. Instead, it focuses on tracing the connections, themes, and patterns across Scripture, helping us see how the Bible tells one unified and coherent story.Resources MentionedFrom Adam and Israel to the Church by Ben GladdFrom the Manger to the Throne by Ben GladdRebels and Exiles by Matt HarmonReference Works & Series The Servant of the Lord and His Servant People by Matt HarmonReference Works & Series New Dictionary of Biblical Theology by Alexander, Rosner, Carson, GoldsworthyNew Studies in Biblical Theology (NSBT) by Don Carson & Ben GladdEssential Studies in Biblical Theology (ESBT) by Ben Gladd

In this episode of Christ the Center, Camden Bucey and Lane Tipton discuss a deceptively brief but theologically weighty section of Geerhardus Vos's Biblical Theology, exploring Jesus' critique of first-century Jewish ethics. Far from addressing merely surface-level moral failures, Vos shows that Jesus exposes a deeper religious collapse—one marked by practical deism and pervasive self-centeredness. When God's glory is displaced as the center of ethical life, obedience becomes external, fragmented, and ultimately irreligious. This conversation presses the listener to consider how these same distortions reappear across church history and into the present—whether in moralistic fundamentalism, liberal Protestant ethics, or debates surrounding the New Perspective on Paul. The antidote Vos commends is not tighter rules or refined casuistry, but a recovery of true religion: life coram Deo, grounded in union with Christ, animated by delight in God himself as our supreme reward. In Christ, obedience is restored to its proper place as worship, flowing from grace rather than self-reliance.

On this weeks Prove All Things, Jeff and Mike welcome back Tyler elder Blake Silverstein for a conversation that helps explain why the Bible can sound so foreign to modern ears. Blake unpacks the difference between an ancient “honor and shame” culture and today's Western “guilt and innocence” mindset—and how that lens can change the way we read familiar stories like David and Bathsheba and the Prodigal Son. Along the way, they connect it to Christian discipleship, repentance, and why restoring relationships matters more than a merely “transactional” view of faith. If you've ever wondered why certain teachings (like eternal torment) don't line up with the full biblical picture, this episode will give you a fresh and practical way to think about it.

In this episode of the Pocket Theology podcast, the team dives deep into the heart of biblical interpretation, the value of education, and the beautiful messiness of the early church.Pulling from the opening themes of the Philippians series, "Whatever is Beautiful," the conversation moves from the intimidation of the pulpit to the "secret" of finding joy in a diverse community. They challenge the modern tendency to seek "special revelations" and instead invite listeners to join the 2,000-year-old conversation of the global Church.In this episode, we discuss:Preaching and Pressure: An honest look at the "love-hate relationship" with the pulpit and the responsibility of having "something to say" rather than just "having to say something." The "Bubble" of Isolation: Why reading only what we agree with limits our growth and the importance of expanding our "awareness" of the broader Christian narrative. Biblical vs. Systematic Theology: Using the "Heuristic of the Puzzle," we explore how a narrative framework (Promise, Fulfillment, Consummation) helps make sense of the story of God without getting pigeonholed into rigid systems. The Fellowship of the Gospel: Redefining "Koinonia" from a social "hang out" to a radical partnership of differing people united around the cross—much like the unlikely fellowship of the Ring. The "Good Work" in Progress: Reclaiming Philippians 1:6—not just as a personal promise of growth, but as a collective guarantee that Jesus will never give up on His Church. Whether you are a seasoned scholar or just "Bible-curious," this episode is an invitation to get low, stay humble, and let the Holy Spirit expand your vision of what it means to be the Church.

In this episode, Camden Bucey and Marcus Mininger reflect together on Resurrection and Redemption by Richard B. Gaffin, Jr.—a work that has profoundly shaped Reformed biblical theology over the past half century. Rather than offering a technical review, the conversation unfolds as a guided meditation on the book's central claim: that Christ's resurrection is not a theological afterthought but the controlling center of Paul's soteriology and eschatology. Gaffin's careful exegesis helps readers see how redemption is inseparable from resurrection life in union with the risen Christ. This discussion is part of Reformed Forum's broader effort to offer conversational commentaries on formative Reformed texts—books that have formed us as pastors and theologians. Bucey and Mininger highlight why Resurrection and Redemption remains so enduringly fruitful: it teaches the church to think biblically about salvation, not as a static transaction, but as participation in the resurrected life of Christ. The result is theology that serves the pulpit, strengthens assurance, and orients the Christian life toward the hope of glory already secured in the risen Lord.

The Providential Hand of God | Genesis 39 SermonWhat if God's blessing doesn't look like escape, but endurance? In this powerful sermon from Genesis 39, we explore the doctrine of divine providence through the life of Joseph. Though Joseph moves from slavery to prison, Scripture repeatedly declares one unshakable truth: God was with him.This message explains how God sovereignly rules all things, works through ordinary circumstances, and remains faithful even when obedience leads to suffering. We examine how divine sovereignty and human responsibility coexist, why God is not the author of sin yet still overrules it, and how Joseph's story ultimately points us to the cross of Christ as the greatest example of providence.If you've ever wondered whether God is still at work in hardship, delay, betrayal, or injustice, this sermon offers deep biblical clarity and hope rooted in Scripture.Key Topics: Divine Providence, Genesis 39, Life of Joseph, God's Sovereignty, Christian Suffering, God's Will, Trusting God in Trials, Romans 8:28, Biblical Theology, Faithfulness Under Pressure
Ecclesiastes has long been viewed as the great existential work of the Hebrew Bible, containing the famous cry "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." As part of a search for enduring meaning, it questions the nature of work, mortality, happiness, justice, goodness, and life itself. Abounding with careful observations, disappointments, and insights, Ecclesiastes is one of the richest and most complex books in all of Tanakh. Join us as we speak with Erica Brown, whose commentary offers a fresh and hopeful look at this ancient book, as she synthesizes rabbinic commentary with modern scholarship, fine art, and poetry.

Ecclesiastes has long been viewed as the great existential work of the Hebrew Bible, containing the famous cry "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." As part of a search for enduring meaning, it questions the nature of work, mortality, happiness, justice, goodness, and life itself. Abounding with careful observations, disappointments, and insights, Ecclesiastes is one of the richest and most complex books in all of Tanakh. Join us as we speak with Erica Brown, whose commentary offers a fresh and hopeful look at this ancient book, as she synthesizes rabbinic commentary with modern scholarship, fine art, and poetry. Dr. Erica Brown is the Vice Provost for Values and Leadership at Yeshiva University and the founding director of its Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks–Herenstein Center for Values and Leadership.

Is the supernatural power seen in the New Testament still available to us today? Can the human heart truly be satisfied by Jesus alone? What does it mean to be "married to Christ”?Dr. Mary Healy—a professor of Biblical Theology and a consecrated woman—joins the podcast to share her radical journey of faith. The conversation also dives deep into the charismatic spiritual gifts, such as healing, prophecy, and tongues, which Dr. Healy argues are "normal" for the Christian life rather than extraordinary rarities.NEW: Check out our Merch store! https://shop.lilaroseshow.com/Join our new Patreon community! https://patreon.com/lilaroseshow - We'll have BTS footage, ad-free episodes, and early access to our upcoming guests.A big thanks to our partner, EWTN, the world's leading Catholic network!

This sermon concludes the three-week series "God Our Home," connecting the longing for God's presence with the reality of Christmas. We recap that God's desire to dwell with His people is the entire storyline of the Bible—from Eden to the New Creation. However, significant barriers like disobedience, shame, lies, and God's holiness keep us from experiencing this intimacy.The Good News of Christmas is that Jesus came to address every single barrier. He is the "obedience of the one" that makes many righteous. He clothes our shame so we can hide in Him rather than from Him. He reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling lies. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy, paying the entrance fee we could never afford. And He empowers us to forgive by first forgiving us.Scripture ReferencesRevelation 21:3: "I will be your God, you will be my people, and I will dwell in your midst."Psalm 22:3: God inhabits the praises of His people.Deuteronomy 8:10-14: A warning not to forget God in times of plenty.John 8:28-29: Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father.Romans 5:19: "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."Colossians 3:3: "For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God."Hebrews 4:15: We have a High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses.John 14:6-9: Jesus reveals the Father: "Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father."John 1:14: The Word became flesh, full of grace and truth.Matthew 6:9-15: The Lord's Prayer, emphasizing forgiveness.Key PointsJesus Addresses Our BarriersDisobedience: Jesus' perfect submission overthrows our rebellion. His obedience is credited to us, making us righteous.Shame: Instead of hiding from God in shame, we can hide in Christ. He clothes us in His righteousness, fully knowing and fully loving us.Lies: Jesus reveals the true nature of the Father, dispelling the enemy's lies about God's character.Holiness: Jesus doesn't lower the standard; He pays the price. He comes full of grace and truth to make us holy and blameless in God's sight.Unforgiveness: We are empowered to forgive others because we have been forgiven a debt we could never pay.How to Not Miss His Presence Like the characters in the first Christmas story who did experience God, we must:Worship: Adore Him to gain perspective and crush comparison.Ponder: Like Mary, treasure God's work in your heart. Be curious and wonder about Him.Seek: Like the Wise Men, actively pursue Him. Don't assume His presence; hunt for it.ConclusionWe don't have to live separated from God. Jesus, Emmanuel, has come to bridge the gap. He has dealt with our sin, shame, and separation so that we can once again stand in the presence of a holy God—not with fear, but with boldness and joy.Calls to ActionInvite Someone: 80% of people are willing to come to church if invited. Use this Christmas season to invite someone to the Fox Theatre service.Worship & Ponder: In the busyness of the season, take time to worship and ponder what Christ has done to bring you near.Come to the Table: As you take communion, reflect on the cost Jesus paid to remove every barrier between you and the Father.
