“Doing your PhD is ... there's a lot of pressure for sure, but you never get that kind of space and time [again] to focus on a single project. As soon as you leave ... there are so many other demands in your time. The privilege of getting to sit with a topic for years and have so many people invest in the work that you're doing and speak into it and help you to improve it — it's so wonderful. I would do PhDs for the rest of my life.“ — Jennifer Powell McNutt Professor and author Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt joins us on the podcast to discuss the place of Mary Magdalene in the biblical story and what she can teach us about walking with Jesus.  Who was Mary Magdalene and what does her story offer to Christians in the 21st century? Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book The Mary We Forgot: What the Apostle to the Apostles Teaches the Church Today, which recently received the honor of being a 2025 ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist. Jennifer helps us to understand the unique place Mary Magdalene has in the story of Jesus as a woman, a believer, and a model for Christians across the ages. We talk about the ways Mary's life impacted the church across the world, and we learn about some crucial misunderstandings that have maligned Mary's name over the years. Jennifer also offers encouraging thoughts about her experience as a woman in the academy, and if you listen to the end of the credit, you'll hear an excerpt from our conversation where Jennifer shares her story of advocating for maternity leave on campus. So jump right in! We're so glad you're here. — Ann Boyd For show notes or more information please visit our article at The Well.

We believe, teach, and confess the Book of Concord because it is in accord with the Word of God. It is vital that the Church still confess this Truth today, as it leaves us no wiggle room to invent our own ideas. The authority for this is founded in the Divine Scriptures as Jesus tells us, “You will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free (John 8:32).” The Concordians were not writing to create a general guide to the Bible, but because they believed that these writings were the true Word of God! “O Lord, keep us steadfast in Your Word. Give us Your Holy Spirit to keep us in the Truth and to confess it in purity. Lord have mercy. Amen.” Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, President of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to discuss why a Quia subscription is still important for the 21st century Church. Find your copy of the Book of Concord - Concordia Reader's Edition at cph.org or read online at bookofconcord.org. Study the Lutheran Confession of Faith found in the Book of Concord with lively discussions led by host Rev. Brady Finnern, President of the LCMS Minnesota North District, and guest LCMS pastors.

With all that's going on around us, it can be easy to despair and forget that God is still at work bringing His flock to Himself by the power of the gospel. In this week's episode we take a look at some of the encouraging trends going on in our world today that help us see and find joy in all that God is doing among us today. From the decline of New Atheism to the rise of Christian YouTube, from the increase of Bible sales in 2024 to conversion of high-profile intellectuals there is much going on that ought to cause us to rejoice and give thanks to the Lord. So we hope this little exercise helps you to share in our joy.   Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

General Theme for the Week: Jesus is Still Working Through the Church Today's Lesson: Unusual Evidence that Jesus' Ministry Continues On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: The subject of God judging someone by death terrifies many people. Why is this action of God so controversial? Why does this active judgment NOT contradict the idea that God is a God of love, mercy, and compassion? The reading for the day is Acts 5.

General Theme for the Week: Jesus is Still Working Through the Church Today's Lesson: Another Tripping Stone On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: Not everyone will receive the ministry of the church, just as not everyone received the ministry of Jesus. Why should the church continue the work of Christ if it is going to be rejected? If rejecting Jesus is not rational, where does rejection come from? The reading for the day is Acts 4.

General Theme for the Week: Jesus is Still Working Through the Church Today's Lesson: Show Them Jesus On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: How does it change our perspective of our work in the church when we consider that every ministry action we perform should ultimately lead people to hear the gospel and have the opportunity to repent? Do you think it is easy to lose that ultimate goal in the minutia of our church work? The reading for the day is Acts 3.

Send us a textJoin us as we discuss some recent issues the church has been facing!

General Theme for the Week: Jesus is Still Working Through the Church Today's Lesson: Everybody in the Church Ministers On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: Our modern culture makes much of equality. However, the Christian religion is frequently accused of creating inequality. Why is the inclusiveness of the church so unclear to those who are outside the church? What are some unique ways that men can contribute to the work of Jesus? What are some unique ways that women can contribute to the work of Jesus? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of age in the work of the church? How can people from various social classes uniquely contribute to the ministry of Jesus in our modern society? The reading for the day is Acts 2.

General Theme for the Week: Jesus is Still Working Through the Church Today's Lesson: Jesus' Ministry Continues On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: We often forget that the ministry of the church is an extension of the ministry of Jesus. Why is this important? How does it change your perspective of your own work for the Lord when you consider that your work is a continuation of the ministry of Christ? Does the work and ministry of the church makes sense without the work and ministry of Jesus? The reading for the day is Acts 1.

The Protestant Reformation was a major religious movement that began in the early 16th century, fundamentally altering the landscape of Christianity in Europe and laying the groundwork for the modern church and Western civilization. The reformation was essentially a movement against perceived corruptions and excesses in the Roman Catholic Church. It sought to reform church practices and doctrines and ultimately led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations. So why was the church in the 16th century in such need of reformation? Who were the key figures of this reformation? What were the major events of this pivotal movement and what was its legacy?  Join us as we unpack Martin Luther's revolutionary Ninety-Five Theses, discover the profound changes in worship and governance, and examine the lasting impact on modern Christianity. We'll discuss key figures like John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli, explore the rise of various denominations, and see how this movement laid the groundwork for some of the ideas we still cherish today.

The election is just three weeks away and Phil is exhausted, Kaitlyn is concerned that evangelicals supporting Harris are making the same mistake as those supporting Trump, and Skye blames the whole mess on WWJD bracelets. Based on Kaitlyn's recent Religion News Service article, the Holy Post crew discuss a better way for Christians to think about politics and voting. Then, Wheaton College professor of theology and history, Jennifer Powell McNutt, talks to Skye about her new book, “The Mary We Forgot.” She argues that the Mary Magdalene we encounter in the Gospels is not a scandalized prostitute, but a significant supporter of Jesus' ministry and “the apostle to the apostles.” Also this week—more useless fruit fly science.   0:00 - Intro   1:51 - Show Starts   4:54 - Theme Song   5:15 - The National Association of Evangelicals - Listen to the Difficult to explore how Christians can become peacemakers.

Just as it's important to understand our own stories to make sense of our lives today, it's also crucial to examine the stories within the church's history to better understand how they are playing out in the present. That's why we're excited to welcome back author, professor, and church historian The Rev. Dr. Jennifer Powell McNutt as she explores the life of a woman who played a significant role in the ministry, burial, and resurrection of Jesus: Mary Magdalene. For too long, the church has misunderstood Mary Magdalene—her story often confused, scandalized, and undervalued. Yet, she was present at the resurrection. But why was this so important? Why was she chosen to witness and then commissioned to "go and tell," becoming the first apostle? This powerful story reminds us that God calls the ordinary, imperfect, and unexpected to uniquely reveal the gospel.

In Reclaiming the ‘Dark Ages': How the Gospel Light Shone from 500–1500 (Christian Focus), authors Iain Wright and Yannick Imbert challenge the popular Protestant perception of the Middle Ages as a period of spiritual darkness and theological decay. They argue that this millennium was not devoid of Christian influence and that it produced many significant and influential Christian thinkers. Wright and Imbert join us to present a more nuanced view of the medieval period, highlighting the spiritual and theological contributions of figures such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Anselm of Canterbury, and John Wycliffe, among others. They emphasize the continuity of orthodox Christian theology and the guiding hand of providence throughout this era, urging modern Christians to appreciate the historical richness and spiritual insights of the Middle Ages. Iain Wright is pastor of Covenant OPC, Orland Park, Illinois. Yannick Imbert holds the William Edgar Chair of Apologetics at Faculté Jean Calvin, Aix–en–Provence, southern France. He also serves on the theological committee of the National Council of French Evangelicals.
