In this episode, Camden Bucey speaks with Danny Olinger, General Secretary of the OPC Committee on Christian Education, about his new book Christ and His Church-Bride: Meredith G. Kline's Biblical-Theological Reading of Revelation (Reformed Forum). Olinger traces how Kline's covenantal and redemptive-historical reading of Revelation portrays the church's transformation into the radiant Bride of Christ, moving from imperfection and suffering in the present age to consummate glory in the new creation. The discussion unfolds key themes of recapitulation, the conflict between Babylon and the Bride, and the covenantal drama of creation to consummation. Through rich historical and exegetical reflection, Olinger shows how Kline weaves together Genesis, Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation to present a unified vision of redemptive history centered on Christ's victory and the Spirit's work in the church. The conversation is both theologically rigorous and pastorally hopeful—reminding listeners that Christ reigns now, the church's pilgrim identity is secure, and the gospel's progress continues unthwarted by the powers of this world.

Sin ti no se puede... (feat. Greg Needham del Canadian Christian Education Movement)

NOTAS DE ELENAMaterial complementario de la escuela Sabática para adultosNarrado por: Patty CuyanDesde: California, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES, 27 DE OCTUBREEL JUEZ SUPREMOTenemos un enemigo poderoso, y no solo odia a todo ser humano hecho a imagen de Dios, sino que con la más encarnizada enemistad odia a Dios y a su Hijo unigénito Jesucristo. Cuando los hombres se entregan para ser esclavos de Satanás, él no manifiesta hacia ellos la enemistad que manifiesta hacia los que llevan el nombre de Cristo y se entregan al servicio de Dios. Los odia con un odio mortal. Sabe que puede contristar a Jesús poniéndolos bajo el poder de sus engaños, hiriéndolos, debilitando su fe, haciéndolos incapaces de prestar a Dios el servicio que se les exige bajo su Capitán Jesucristo. Satanás permitirá cierto grado de descanso a los que están atados como esclavos a su carro, porque son sus cautivos voluntarios; pero su enemistad se despierta cuando el mensaje de misericordia llega a sus esclavos, y estos procuran zafarse de su poder a fin de seguir al verdadero Pastor. Entonces es cuando él procura atarlos con cadenas adicionales para mantenerlos en su cautiverio. El conflicto entre el alma y Satanás comienza cuando el cautivo empieza a tirar de la cadena y anhela ser libre; porque es entonces cuando el agente humano empieza a cooperar con las inteligencias celestiales, cuando la fe se aferra a Cristo. Entonces es cuando el Más Fuerte que el hombre fuerte armado es el ayudador del alma, y el pobre cautivo es fortalecido por el Espíritu Santo para obtener su libertad. Dios tiene un amor profundo y ferviente por cada miembro de la familia humana; ninguno es olvidado, ninguno es dejado indefenso y engañado para ser vencido por el enemigo. Si los que se han alistado en el ejército de Cristo se visten con toda la armadura de Dios y la usan, estarán a prueba de todos los asaltos del enemigo. Aquellos que realmente desean ser enseñados por Dios y andar en sus caminos tienen la promesa segura de que, si sienten su falta de sabiduría y le piden a Dios, él les dará abundantemente y no los reprenderá. El apóstol dice: "Pida con fe, no dudando nada; porque el que duda es semejante a la onda del mar, que es arrastrada por el viento y echada de una parte a otra. No piense, pues, quien tal haga, que recibirá cosa alguna del Señor. El hombre de doble ánimo es inconstante en todos sus caminos". Santiago 1:6-8. Dios garantiza cada promesa, y no podemos deshonrarlo más que cuando cuestionamos y dudamos, cuando pedimos y no creemos, y cuando hablamos de duda. Si no recibís inmediatamente lo que habéis pedido, ¿seguiréis en la hosquedad y la incredulidad? Creed; creed que Dios hará exactamente lo que ha prometido. Mantened vuestras oraciones ascendentes, y velad, trabajad y esperad. Pelead la buena batalla de la fe. Decid a vuestro corazón: "Dios me ha invitado a venir. Él ha escuchado mi oración. Ha empeñado su palabra de que me recibirá, y cumplirá su promesa. Puedo confiar en Dios, porque tanto me amó que dio a su Hijo unigénito para que muriera por mí. El Hijo de Dios es mi Redentor". "Pedid, y se os dará; buscad, y hallaréis; llamad, y se os abrirá". Mateo 7:7. "Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre celestial dará el Espíritu Santo a los que se lo pidan?" Lucas 11:13 (Fundamentals of Christian Education, p. 299).

Today on Worldview Legacy, Joel Settecase delivers a wake-up call for Christians navigating the cultural chaos of secular education, false religions, and faulty reasoning. Through the lens of Proverbs 9 and the solid foundation of God's Word, Joel explores what happens when we build our lives—and our worldviews—on anything other than Jesus Christ.Joel breaks down three key areas: the failure of public education to remain neutral, the internal contradictions of Mormonism, and how even logic itself demands a triune God. This episode equips listeners with biblical clarity and apologetic confidence to stand firm in the truth.In this episode, you'll learn:Why your intellectual "house" needs a rock-solid foundationHow public schools already promote a religious worldview (and it's not Christian)What “separation of church and state” really meant to the FoundersWhy neutrality in education is a myth—and what replaces itHow to engage Mormons using a 3-step Presuppositional approachWhy the three laws of logic point directly to the triune God of ScriptureThat all truth, wisdom, and knowledge are hidden in Jesus ChristKey Takeaways:There is no such thing as worldview neutrality—education is always discipleshipSecular humanism functions as the dominant religion in public education todayJesus must be the foundation of all true learning, not an optional additionMormonism collapses under the weight of its own theological contradictionsLogic reflects the mind and nature of the triune GodRemove Jesus, and you lose the ability to even account for truthJoin the Hammer & Anvil Society:The premier discipleship community for Christian men who want to master apologetics, pass on the faith, and build lasting legacies.

We are in a season of transition! It's been a wonderful journey as a trio, but with changing demands, Matt is going to step away from the podcast. We are grateful for the time and conversations we've had over the past four and a half years(!) and we wish him well as he moves into other adventures. Abby and Dave have decided to continue to record new episodes, and we hope you'll continue to join us in the metaphorical hallway. In today's episode, we are thinking about what it looks like to be in the middle of the semester when things feel a little stale…or maybe “the honeymoon is over!” We share some ideas and strategies we use to mix things up to look for ways to increase students' engagement, making the curriculum accessible and meaningful for our students. We hope you'll be encouraged to talk about your own strategies for mixing things up with colleagues in your hallways as well! We always love hearing from you, dear listeners.

Young adults today are 1,600% more likely to identify as transgender than people over 50. Every family may not struggle with this issue—but every family will face it. Are you ready? In this critical episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit Ministries and author of the new book Raising Gender Confident Kids, for an unflinching conversation about one of the most pressing challenges facing Christian families today. Dr. Myers reveals why gender ideology isn't just about elevating Pride Month—it's a calculated strategy to tear down the foundations of Western civilization and biblical worldview. What You'll Discover: Why 39% of young adults now identify as LGBTQ—and what's driving this dramatic shift The shocking reality of "transgender recruitment" happening in public schools (and some private schools) How gender ideology functions as an anti-Christ religion with its own evangelism and discipleship steps Age-appropriate conversation strategies for elementary, middle school, and high school students Why middle schoolers are being specifically targeted before they complete puberty How to help your child respond when they can't tell if someone is a boy or a girl The biological truth: 6,500 cataloged differences between males and females—and why they're designed to harmonize Why teaching "Imago Dei" (being made in God's image) is now mission-critical for every Christian family Dr. Myers doesn't sugarcoat the reality: this is a well-funded, strategic assault on the biblical understanding of humanity. But he also offers hope, practical tools, and a pathway for parents to raise children who are confident in God's good design—while showing Christ's love to a generation that's been tragically deceived.   Resources: Raising Gender Confident Kids book - genderconfidentkids.com   https://www.summit.org/    This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

In this episode of Unexpected Turns, host Laura Wilcox has a conversation with Tranece, whose world was turned upside down when she learned that her 18-year-old son had been arrested for murder. Because Tranece had just gotten engaged the day before she received this devastating news, she wondered if her fiancé Terrence would want to keep their engagement.Yet Terrence assured her of his unconditional love and commitment to her. The wedding was on, yet Tranece found it difficult to walk the road of wedding planning while grieving her son's situation. As she learned to forgive her son and to forgive herself for any shortcomings as a parent, she also began to live in freedom from the shame of parenting a son in prison. In time, God redeemed the situation in many ways. Her son began to grow in his faith in Christ and to see prison as his place of ministry. And God began to show Tranece how He would use terrible circumstances to equip her for a ministry of hope to others.Today Tranece and her husband have three daughters together in addition to her two sons. They have both studied at Dallas Theological Seminary, where Tranece has earned the Master of Arts in Christian Education and the Master of Biblical and Theological Studies; she is currently pursuing a Doctor of Education degree at DTS. Tranece is a published writer and speaker based in Dallas. Contact her for speaking engagements at TraneceHarris@dallasseminary.edu.  Read Tranece's story, "I Do" And Your Son Too, at the Sacred Story website.

Phil Sokell-Miles has spent nearly two decades helping students encounter God in the most ordinary of places - schools. As part of the 24-7 Prayer movement, he helped pioneer Prayer Spaces in Schools, a global initiative inviting children and young people of all faiths and none to explore prayer, reflection, and life's big questions in safe and creative ways. In this episode, we talk about how the movement began, why creativity can open us to the Spirit in ways words sometimes can't, and what it means to serve schools as places of blessing rather than mission projects. We explore how prayer becomes a way of belonging, how the Holy Spirit meets us in quiet spaces, and how creating room for presence can transform lives. A conversation about childlike faith, holy imagination, and the God who meets us right where we are.Phil Sokell-Miles (formerly Togwell) lives in the North of England with his family (wife, daughters, foster-mums/babies, lodgers and dogs). Phil trained and worked in all sorts of Youth & Community settings before joined the 24-7 Prayer movement as it's first UK National Director. He now leads 24-7's Prayer Spaces in Schools initiative, and he recently published 'Sticky Note Prayers', which tells the story of Prayer Spaces in Schools.

Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Vincent Bioseh continue their important discussion from Part 1, tackling the critical issue of the scarcity of Christian content for children and the subtle programming that influences young minds. With the rise of indoctrination in various media, it is crucial for parents—especially Christian ones—to actively monitor what their kids watch on TV and the internet.Gabrielle and Vincent emphasize the need to guide children according to the teachings of Proverbs 22:6, which says, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." This highlights the importance of teaching kids the right values from a young age.Throughout their conversation, they stress the value of having open talks with kids about their experiences, helping them handle social pressures and moral challenges with confidence. They also suggest using educational resources like Christian cartoons and videos to teach complex yet important lessons in an engaging way.Additionally, they discuss how parents should set a good example for their children. This helps kids build their own personal relationship with God, encouraging them to find their unique connection to faith rather than just following what their parents believe.Join us for this insightful continuation of their conversation, as they share practical advice on how to raise children with strong values in a media-filled world.Who is Vincent Bioseh?Vincent Bioseh is a passionate podcast host, author, and dedicated Christian leader committed to sharing the Gospel and equipping believers to fulfill their God-given purpose.

Jennifer is one of the founding fathers of Women in Youth Ministry—she's been here since the very beginning, 11 years ago! When she and Heather first met, they were both serving in the SBC, working in youth ministry and Southern Baptist group homes (no coincidence, right?). Thirteen years later, they're in two very different ministry contexts but still share a deep bond.

How might everyday classroom moments become places where God's presence is made known? In this conversation, Dr. David I. Smith invites teachers to see their ordinary practices, from prayer to assigning work, as sacred opportunities for faith to shape learning. Learn more about Dr. David I. Smith “Getting a job at a Christian school doesn't instantaneously transform the way you think about how to teach your discipline or the way you think about how to organize your classroom or how to manage classroom relationships [...] Becoming intentional about that is a lifelong project.” “If I'm going to have integrity as a Christian teacher, I have to figure out how I'm going to live with the teaching process wherever I teach.” 1 Corinthians 12 Acts 2:44-45 “What story am I providing for my students about what it is that they are doing right now?” “Assignments [are] about trying to be intentional about how I actually want my students to grow - intellectually, morally, spiritually, socially - through the task that I'm giving them.” “What is my vision for how students grow?” “The way you use pauses are part of how you communicate what you value and who you value.” “Talk yourself out of the idea that your faith is primarily your words about faith.” 1 Peter 3:15 “What human being are you becoming? Who are you going to be in five years, and how is what we are doing here contributing to who you are going to be in five years?” Practical next steps: Which of my assignments actively and explicitly teaches students how to care for one another while doing the work? Identify the student who might be finding it hardest to learn in your class. Take him/her out for coffee to hear their perspective. What pictures do my students see on the screen during the semester, and what vision is that giving them about who human beings are? Ask a fellow teacher to try this with you!

What if everything you thought you knew about the Bible's structure was making it harder to understand God's story? Pastor, author, and Bible engagement architect Randy Frazee joins host Robert on Refining Rhetoric to discuss why so many Christians—even those in Bible-believing churches—can't articulate the basic narrative of Scripture. The problem isn't a lack of commitment; it's how the Bible is organized. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       Why chronological Bible reading changes everything (and how The Story makes it accessible) ·       What really happens after you die—and why most Christians have it backwards ·       The surprising biblical truth: heaven isn't the final destination (hint: read Revelation 21-22) ·       Why the Garden of Eden matters for understanding eternity on the new earth ·       How Paul wrote the ultimate treatise on joy... from prison ·       The neuroscience that validates ancient biblical wisdom about depression and anxiety ·       Why gratitude is the #1 weapon against worry (backed by both Philippians and brain science) ·       The loneliness epidemic destroying Americans—and how proximity creates real community ·       Practical ways homeschoolers can combat isolation and build deeper connections Randy brings decades of pastoral wisdom, research-backed insights, and a refreshing perspective on biblical literacy. From explaining why Psalm 51 should be read right after 2 Samuel 11 (David's confession after his fall with Bathsheba) to unpacking why we'll still struggle at golf in the new kingdom (yes, really), this conversation bridges ancient truth and modern science.   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by: 2026 Classical Conversations Family Cruise Have you heard?

Feeling in over your head with homeschooling? You're not alone. Every homeschool parent hits that wall—when the toddler is pulling everything off the shelves, five kids are asking questions at once, and you're wondering if you're failing everyone, including yourself. In this honest and hope-filled conversation, veteran homeschool moms Courtney Bradshaw and Karin Carpenter join host Amy Jones to talk about the seasons when homeschooling feels overwhelming. In this episode, you'll discover: ·       Why those "in over my head" moments are actually normal (and might even be necessary) ·       How to recognize when you're spread too thin—and what to do about it ·       The surprising antidote to homeschool loneliness (hint: it's not just about finding time) ·       Practical strategies for recalibrating when everything feels like too much ·       Why celebrating others' victories can sustain you through your own hard days ·       How to assess whether the problem is your curriculum, your schedule, or your heart Both Courtney (mom of seven, including three adopted from foster care) and Karin (veteran of 15+ years homeschooling four children) share vulnerable stories from their own journeys—the days they wanted to quit, the moments they crashed at Jesus' feet, and the unexpected ways God met them in their weakness. Their wisdom is hard-won and deeply encouraging.   This episode of the Everyday Educator is sponsored by: Judson College Judson College, North Carolina's only four-year accredited confessional Christian institution, equips passionate students with over 25 majors and exceptional faculty to pursue God's calling in ministry, missions, or the workplace while experiencing vibrant community through our unique House System.

Join Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Craig Koester on "I Love to Tell the Story" as they explore the narrative lectionary reading for October 26th, focusing on the building of Solomon's Temple from 1 Kings 8:1-13. In this episode, the hosts discuss the transition from King David's reign to his son Solomon, who fulfills David's vision of building a permanent temple for worship. They examine how the temple serves as a central place where God's presence is "intensified" while not confining God to a single location - similar to how we understand the sacraments today. Key topics covered: * The significance of the Ark of the Covenant and the stone tablets at the temple's heart * How the covenant relationship ("I will be your God, you will be my people") remains central to worship * The connection between this reading and Reformation Sunday * Personal reflections on visiting St. Peter's Basilica and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher * The importance of communal worship versus privatized religion * How sacred spaces connect us to the communion of saints across centuries The hosts bring their expertise from Luther Seminary to illuminate how this ancient story speaks to contemporary questions about worship, community, and God's presence among us.

What if the virtue we've been taught to prize above all others—empathy—has become a weapon that's destroying our families, churches, and society? In this thought-provoking episode of Refining Rhetoric, host Robert Bortins sits down with Dr. Joe Rigney, author of the controversial new book "The Sin of Empathy: Compassion and Its Counterfeits." Dr. Rigney, who serves as Fellow of Theology at New St. Andrews College and is a pastor at Christ's Church, makes a bold argument that will challenge everything you think you know about compassion. Using the powerful analogy of someone drowning in quicksand, Dr. Rigney distinguishes between biblical compassion—which reaches out to help while remaining anchored to truth—and what he calls "untethered empathy," which jumps into the pit with both feet, creating two drowning victims instead of one. This counterfeit virtue, he argues, has been weaponized across cultural battlegrounds from immigration and abortion to the transgender movement, demanding that we validate feelings regardless of truth or moral consequences. The conversation explores how this emotional manipulation has infiltrated churches, schools, and homes through Social Emotional Learning curricula, creating what Dr. Rigney calls "the institutionalization of the pity party." From the redefinition of marriage to the mutilation of confused children in the name of "gender-affirming care," he traces how untethered empathy leads through a predictable progression: pity to anger to cruelty—all while flying the banner of compassion.   Resources: https://x.com/joe_rigney   https://canonpress.com/products/the-sin-of-empathy   This episode of Refining Rhetoric is sponsored by the Classical Learning Cohort: Are you a CC parent or graduate wanting to become a more confident classical educator?

Ever wonder why some homeschool families seem to have it all figured out while others are still drowning in chaos weeks into the school year? The secret isn't perfect planning—it's finding your groove. Join Lisa Bailey and seasoned homeschool veteran Jennifer Hester for a candid, rapid-fire conversation about what it really takes to get into the homeschool groove. Jennifer brings over a decade of classical education experience as both a parent and tutor, shepherding her own kids from foundations through Challenge levels while pursuing her doctorate. You'll discover the real reason community day leaves everyone exhausted (hint: it's not just you), Jennifer's genius crock-pot lunch hack that will change your community day forever, and why the jump to Challenge levels is harder on parents than students. Jennifer shares her car ride conversation strategy that unlocks deeper connections with your kids and explains how letting go of elaborate lesson plans actually made her a better tutor. The conversation covers which grade transitions hit families the hardest and how to ease the adjustment, along with honest insights about everything from forgotten shoes to flashcard drawers. This isn't your typical "homeschool perfectly" advice. Instead, Jennifer proves that finding your groove isn't about perfection—it's about creating sustainable rhythms that work for your unique family.

This week, we share what we learned from our September memory verses in Colossians 1, and Fran shares our new memory verse for October, plus her takeaways from a powerful ministry event with Jaco Booyens on Union's campus last week.  We talk about the power of confessing our sin and praying protection over one another, plus the prayer Jesus prayed over us in John 17. We hope that with each and every episode, you will find us talking about Jesus while also learning, being challenged, and growing together while loving and laughing about what makes up our everyday lives.  We are so thankful Jesus is right there with us in the middle of it all.  Did you memorize Colossians with us in September? What is the Lord teaching you through these verses?  "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father,who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light." Colossians 1:9-12 "It's time for us to be done with shallow, surface level faith.  There is so much to learn, and the Lord wants to be engaged with us through his Word." Fran   We have a new scripture memory verse for October: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment." 2 Timothy 1:7 CSB Learn more about Jaco Booyens Ministries Listen to a sermon by Jaco Booyens here John 17:11-19 "I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.  My prayer is not that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one. They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.  Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, I have sent them into the world. For them I sanctify myself, that they too may be truly sanctified."
