This episode tackles one of the most debated topics in Christian theology:
What happens when you put 15 scholars—scientists and theologians, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian—in a room to talk about creation? In this episode of The Biblical Mind Podcast, Dr. Dru Johnson shares his experience launching the Abrahamic Theistic Origins Project in Oxford. Far from being a formal academic conference, the gathering focused on “enduring collegial co-learning”—building trust and curiosity across disciplines and faith traditions. The participants explored how evolutionary biology, genetics, astrophysics, and artificial intelligence intersect with theological questions about human uniqueness, creation, and divine action. Dru explains why religious identity didn't hinder the conversation—it enriched it, and why the bigger challenge was translating between scientists and theologians. He also shares a fascinating insight on Neanderthals and menopause, and how that single biological feature opens a window into intergenerational care, legacy, and biblical values. The project raises bold questions: Can we build a biblical philosophy of science? Does Hebraic thought inform scientific methods? And what does it look like to think with Scripture—not just about it—in a scientific age? We are listener supported.

A member of Finland's parliament who has faced a years-long legal battle for sharing a Bible verse on social media is refusing to back down from her freedom fight.Päivi Räsänen told "Higher Ground With Billy Hallowell" her legal battle began more than five years ago when she challenged Finland's main religious body, the Evangelical Lutheran Church, questioning why it had "decided to support, financially and publicly" a local Pride parade."It was a disappointment and even shock to me and many others," she said. "Many of my friends decided to resign the church, and I was also praying ... 'What should I do now?' I was very worried about this very public statement of the leadership of the church because I was worried that it will undermine people's trust on Bible and its authority."Ms. Räsänen decided to take to Twitter to share text from Romans 1, where the Apostle Paul addresses sexual ethics. She added a question to church leadership about their position in support of Pride. "After that, some citizen made a criminal complaint and the police started to investigate the case," Ms. Räsänen continued. "At the beginning, I didn't believe it. I just read it from the newspaper that police [had] started to investigate the case and I phoned to the policeman and he said, 'Yes, we are investigating it.'" Now, she faces a major trial over her religious expression. Listen to Ms. Räsänen share the full story.FOLLOW BILLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA:- Follow Billy on Twitter- Follow Billy on Instagram- Follow Billy on Facebook- Follow Billy on YouTube- Follow Billy on Threads

There are plenty of Christian retirement plans out there…but is retirement itself actually biblical?The answer depends on your definition of retirement. For Christians, that should be quite different from the world's view of retirement.Work: A Biblical CallingThe world often sees work as something to escape—a negative experience endured under the pressure of a demanding boss. However, the Bible presents a very different view. In Colossians 3:23-24, Paul tells us: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men."God is our true boss, and we are called to serve Him through our work.Work existed before the Fall. Genesis 2:15 shows us that God put Adam to work in the Garden of Eden. Nowhere does the Bible suggest that we should stop serving God once we have saved enough money to retire into a life of leisure.Moreover, God Himself is a worker. In John 5:17, Jesus says:“My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I too am working.”This means that our service to the Lord should never truly end. Interestingly, the Bible only mentions retirement in one instance, and that's in a specific context. Numbers 8:24-25 describes how Levitical priests were to retire at age 50. However, this instruction was specific to their duties and doesn't apply to all believers. The Bible doesn't give a general mandate for retirement as we think of it today.In fact, before the 20th century, people worked for as long as they were able. The concept of retirement as we know it—a time to completely cease working—came about with the introduction of Social Security and pensions. But as Christians, we are called to serve God for our entire lives.Why Should We Save for Retirement?You might be wondering, “If we're not supposed to retire, why are we saving all this money?” The answer is simple: It's wise to prepare for a time when we might not be physically able to work. People today are living longer than in previous generations, and many will face a stage of life where work is no longer possible.Proverbs 21:20 reminds us: “Precious treasure and oil are in a wise man's dwelling, but a foolish man devours it.”Saving is a biblical principle that allows us to be good stewards of the resources God has entrusted to us.But for Christians, saving for retirement isn't about stepping away from work altogether. Instead, we should view it as an opportunity to retire to something, not just from something. Perhaps this means using the resources you've saved to enter the mission field or serve in a new capacity. Or, it might mean having the freedom to give more generously to advance God's Kingdom.As Christians, our goal in retirement should be to serve God in even greater ways. The Apostle John continued writing and preaching into his 90s, and second-century pastor Polycarp testified to his faith even in his final days. These examples remind us that our service to the Lord never ends, no matter our age.So, while it's prudent to save for the day when you can no longer work as diligently as you do now, the ultimate goal is to use that season of life to serve God more fully.Practical Steps for Saving for RetirementHere at Faith and Finance, when we talk about retirement, we're not advocating for ceasing all work. Instead, we aim to help you be faithful stewards of God's money so that, one day, you can serve Him in new and meaningful ways.To prepare financially for retirement, start saving as early as possible to benefit from compound interest. We recommend setting aside 10 to 15 percent of your income in a tax-advantaged retirement plan, like a 401(k), especially if your employer offers matching contributions.If your employer doesn't provide a 401(k), consider opening a traditional or Roth IRA. For younger individuals with more time until retirement, a Roth IRA may be especially beneficial because of its long-term tax advantages.As believers, our view of retirement should be shaped by our desire to serve God faithfully throughout every season of life. Saving for retirement is wise and biblical, but our goal is not to stop working altogether. Instead, we prepare for a time when we can use the resources God has given us to serve Him more fully, whether through giving, missions, or new opportunities for ministry.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I bought a house years ago and am the only one on the mortgage. I moved out and purchased another property but didn't sell the first one. My CPA said I'd have to pay up to 24% capital gains tax. Can I sell the first house, take the money, and buy the new property from my wife to avoid the capital gains tax?I started drawing Social Security early while working part-time and made over the income limit. They withheld half of the amount over the limit. I understood from a previous program that I could get that money back after I reached full retirement age. I wonder if that means the check will be more because of the input or if it will build up some payment for me.At this point in my life, is a reverse mortgage a good thing for me to do? I'm 63 and still working, and I plan to work until age 70. I have a pension through a union, but I'm unsure of the exact amount since I'm not fully vested. I'm trying to build up my nest egg again after some setbacks 15 years ago. Would a reverse mortgage be a good option for me?Resources Mentioned:List Of Faith-Based Investing FundsLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Titus 2:11-14 — The Son of God appearing in human history is not simply an abstract truth. While the Christmas message objectively happened in the past, the good news does not simply tell facts in history. Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones argues that the gospel asks Christians to look at themselves. The gospel forces them to ask who they should be. It challenges people to personally ask “What have I done with the good news?” In this sermon on Titus 2:11–14 titled “The Christian View of History,” Dr. Lloyd-Jones follows the apostle Paul in emphasizing how the gospel teaches how to live the Christian life. Living between the first advent and the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ radically alters one's understanding of God, themselves, and this world. This results in changed living without the desire for worldly lusts, but instead with a longing for righteousness. A sober view of life takes over ungodly living as one remembers the present time and anticipates the future return of the Savior. Listen as Dr. Lloyd-Jones teaches how to put the gospel into practice in this present age, between the first coming and second coming of the Son of God.

Listen in on Caleb and Lindsey's conversation concerning how Christians ought to relate to philosophy. They share practical resources to educate both yourself and arm your family against the secular philosophies of our day. It is important to ask yourself the question, "Why do I believe or do this or that?" As Christians we ought to be purposeful. Philosophical questions get to the root of why we exist and what our duty is to our neighbor. These answers are found in God's Word alone, therefore Christians ought to be the most confident in sharing these foundational truths with the very confused world around us. This episode is a part of an ongoing series on Building a Thoroughly Christian Worldview. Everyone has a worldview whether they realize it or not, and more than likely their worldview is not consistent with itself. The Bible is our only standard for all of life and truth. We are called to be transformed by the renewing of our minds (Romans 12:2). We can only do this by knowing God's Word. Listen in to this multipart series as Caleb and Lindsey discuss what a worldview is, how to evaluate your worldview for inconsistencies, and also ways to apply God's Word and mission to every area of your life. As disciples we are meant to have a "Kingdom Mindset." Many Christians today have more of a defeatist mindset and live defensively instead of offensively. The Christian's worldview directly applies to how Christians engage the culture, and this is what we will be discussing in future episodes during this series. **THIS MONTH'S SPONSOR:** Christian Light Education Read Lindsey's Personal Review: https://reformedfaithandfamily.com/learning-to-read-cle-review/ Visit Christian Light Education's Website: https://christianlight.org/shop-curriculum **FREE** Christian Worldview Family Field Guide >> Download Your Copy Now! >> All resources listed in this episode can be found on the Reformed Faith and Family Recommended Resources page here.

Can Christians watch the Mike Tyson vs. Jake Paul fight? I examine this as we go through the show, and process this live. It's not that I have a huge problem with violence, except I am a discipled man. These two men are fighting each other for money, it's a sport. I don't even have a problem with MMA, but there is something about this fight that leaves me questioning whether I should watch it. We take a biblical look at this because the Bible is useful for teaching and correction. Towards the end of the program I came to a conclusion that surprised me. We also take some time to hear veteran's stories of godly use of justified force. Shift to Family LifeWhat does God's Word say? Romans 7:1818 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[a] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.Galatians 5:19-2419 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.Episode 1,486 Links:‘It's day 1…the fun has just begun'Day two: Mitts flyin'You still wanna f*** with me?Chuck Liddell On Mike Tyson Vs.
