We had a fantastic time hanging out with Brian McLaren to talk about his new book, "Do I Stay Christian?" – the follow-up to his book "Faith After Doubt". The book first answers with "No" then "Yes" and then discusses "How" we should live, regardless of the way we answer that question. It's a brave, humbling, and important book. READ IT!

As the church to which he preaches sets out on the building of a place of worship, the Metropolitan Tabernacle, so Spurgeon reminds them that the true church is not made of bricks and mortar, but of living stones, in union with Christ as the Cornerstone. Diverting their attention from the material needs of the hour, he properly points them to the church as the building of God, his particular dwelling place, and his glorious temple. It is a sweet reminder of the spiritual constitution of the true church of Christ, and perhaps a needful reminder, too, that our first concern is not the material beauty of the buildings in which we meet, but the spiritual beauty of the people who meet there, to the glory of the God whom we serve.

  The church is the fruition of God’s eternal plan. Not only does the New Testament teach that the church was planned by God from eternity past, the witness of the Old Testament prophets also points to this fact. The church of Christ was not an afterthought or stop-gap in God’s program. In this broadcast […]

Teacher: Martha Highfield This is the remarkable story of how a series of determined missionary women initiated and shaped Church of Christ healthcare missions in southeastern Nigeria. The stories of nurses Glenna Peden, Mary Kelton, Grace Farrar, Iris Hays, and Nancy Petty reveal how each did what she could to overcome inexperience, conflict, and cultural challenges while relying on faith, family, and community.

  Finally, after three years of this podcast, the time has come to talk about something that we've rarely talked about before. It's time to talk about … … Metallica. The first part of this two-part series focuses on how being raised as a Christian Scientist impacted lead vocalist James Hetfield's life and Metallica's lyrics. This provides the dynamic duo with an opportunity to discuss the history and theology of Mary Baker Eddy and the Church of Christ, Scientist. If you're interested in doing apologetics with Christian Scientists, this episode provides you with everything you need to get started. Along the way, Timothy is deeply embarrassed as Garrick reveals not only his toes but also his deep affection for Mariah Carey and his deep-seated fear of Oingo Boingo super-fans. The first installment of “Behind the Covers” puts Metallica's cover of a tune originally performed by The Kinks into battle against Van Halen's version of the same song. In the end, your intrepid cohosts can't agree on a winner. What they do agree about is that The Kinks are underrated and that Van Halen and Metallica are two of the greatest bands ever. Also, "Behind the Covers" would be the perfect name for a cover band that decorates the stage with quilts and duvets.   ABOUT HOSTS Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., is C. Edwin Gheens Professor of Christian Ministry at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He teaches in the areas of family ministry and applied apologetics. He has authored or edited more than a dozen books, including Why Should I Trust the Bible?, The God Who Goes Before You, Perspectives on Family Ministry, and Christian History Made Easy.

Today, the guys want to make an inroad to a topic that is surrounded by much confusion even among Christians: baptism!  The confusion relates in part to the current trend of downplaying baptism.  Not only does this indicate confusion about what baptism is, but it also causes the confusion to deepen and proliferate.  The downplaying of baptism is rooted in a well-meaning course correction to theological errors that over-emphasized baptism, such as the doctrine of baptismal regeneration.  But what Christians need at this point is not to over-correct their way into neglecting the rich truths surrounding baptism, but to construct a robust doctrine that values baptism while knowing how to respond to those who consider it necessary for salvation. This notion of baptism being necessary for salvation is at the heart of the theological error the guys want to zero in on today, namely, that of baptism regeneration.  Baptismal regeneration is one of a few major views of baptism that are commonly held, and it maintains that the act of baptism is sufficient in itself (by conferring or completing grace) to save the soul.  The Roman Catholic Church holds to this view, whereas Lutherans hold that baptism is a sign and seal of the New Covenant and those in a Reformed or Covenantal camp see baptism as a culmination of faith - expressing faith, bringing believers under the care of the church, and functioning in a way analogous to a royal coronation that decares rather than creating the reality of kingship. The guys have spent a lot of time discussing the doctrinal problems of baptismal regeneration not only with Roman Catholics, but also with members of the Church of Christ, who hold that baptism is necessary for salvation.  This position, of course, has logical shortcomings; after all, what about those who are converted with no time or ability to be baptized?  The position also contradicts the overall teaching of Scripture regarding both baptism and salvation, and the guys explain how to understand the true context of passages used in support of baptismal regeneration.  Finally, they celebrate the beautiful whole-Bible threads of meaning that baptism picks up, baptism's picture of the gospel, and the connection between baptism and the great commission! Thanks for listening!

During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual writer Henri Nouwen became close to a traveling circus trapeze troupe, The Flying Rodleighs. He passed away before he could write the book about the spiritual lessons of his time with them, so his friend, Carolyn Whitney-Brown, picked up the pieces and completed “Flying, Falling, Catching”. In this episode we got to spend time with Carolyn talking about Henri, the book, and lessons we can all learn about the spiritual journey from an unlikely source: trapeze artists.

Our world feels like it is divided now as much as ever. With so many things to disagree about, it is no wonder that many in our society find it hard to get along. In the midst of widespread disunity, the church of Christ is to be different. We are not to be marked by our differences, but by our mutual Love for Jesus, and our mutual Love for each other. Love is to be the great identifier of the people of God.

Confusing informational trust with relational trust can lead to all kinds of trouble. Steve and Nathan talk about how seeing the cracks and seams in the bible can deal a blow to our faith, or how it can change it for the better.
