Podcasts about Crosson

In the inaugural live stream of the class Paul the Pharisee: Faith and Politics in a Divided World, John Dominic Crossan joins me to dig into the radical historical Paul. Crosson argues for the importance of understanding Paul within the context of the historical Jesus, despite Paul's often radical and misunderstood teachings. We explore topics like Paul's controversial stance on gender and slavery, backed by textual analysis, and the influence of his letters within early Christian communities. The session also discusses the story of Thecla as an archetype of Paul's radical vision and how these narratives have been reshaped to fit different sociopolitical contexts. Questions from participants help flesh out the complexities around Paul's portrayal in the New Testament and subsequent interpretations. To access all 5 of Crossan's lectures, submit questions, and join future live streams, head here to join the class. John Dominic Crossan, professor emeritus at DePaul University, is widely regarded as the foremost historical Jesus scholar of our time. He is the author of several bestselling books, including The Historical Jesus, How to Read the Bible and Still Be a Christian, God and Empire, Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography, The Greatest Prayer, The Last Week, and The Power of Parable. He lives in Minneola, Florida.

“Lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”  Matthew 6:20Ken Boa and Russ Crosson are our guests today.. Ken is a pastor and founder of Reflections Ministries. Russ is executive vice president and chief mission officer of Ronald Blue Trust. They're authors of Leverage: Using Temporal Wealth for Eternal Gain.  WHAT IS BIBLICAL LEVERAGE, AND HOW CAN IT IMPACT ETERNITY?Biblical leverage is the concept of using your current wealth to make a significant impact on eternity. It involves investing in God's work around the world, allowing one to witness how God multiplies these investments for eternal purposes.Biblical leverage is using present wealth to contribute to eternal impacts.It's about investing in God's work and seeing the multiplication of these investments.This concept mirrors leveraging in finances, but with a focus on eternal outcomes. HOW SHOULD INDIVIDUALS DETERMINE WHERE TO GIVE, AND IS IT ACCEPTABLE TO GIVE OUTSIDE THE LOCAL CHURCH?It's important to give in ways that align with the spread of the Gospel and the Great Commission of making disciples. The New Testament encourages sharing with those who teach and disciple us. This giving can extend beyond the local church to various ministries involved in spreading the Gospel.Giving should support those who disciple, teach, and evangelize.The focus should be on contributions that advance the Gospel and disciple-making.While supporting the local church is important, giving can extend to other Gospel-centered ministries. WHAT IS THE NEW TESTAMENT'S PERSPECTIVE ON TITHING?In the New Testament, the emphasis is on grace giving, which is proportional and based on one's ability. While there's no specified percentage, those who have received more are expected to give more. This form of giving reflects a commitment to God's perspective on lasting impact and identity.Grace giving is emphasized, based on ability rather than a fixed percentage.The more one receives, the more one is expected to give.This giving is about investing in eternal values and personal identity in Christ. HOW CAN INDIVIDUALS TEST WHERE THE SPIRIT IS LEADING THEM IN THEIR GIVING?Testing where the Spirit leads in giving involves taking risks in faith. The more one grows in faith, the more significant the risks one is invited to take. This process requires a commitment to actions that depend on God's intervention for success.Spiritual growth involves taking risks in faith, especially in giving.Greater wealth implies higher responsibility and more significant risk-taking in giving.Giving should be an action that requires divine intervention to succeed. WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT FORMS OF GIVING, SUCH AS CASH FLOW VERSUS NET WORTH GIVING?Cash flow giving involves donating from regular income like salaries or dividends, suitable for most people. Net worth giving is more relevant for wealthier individuals, considering assets like real estate, stocks, or business interests. This form of giving requires looking at asset growth and managing resources to maximize giving potential.Cash flow giving is donating from regular income sources.Net worth giving involves donating from assets and investments.Wealthier individuals should consider both forms to optimize their giving. WHAT MINDSET SHOULD INDIVIDUALS HAVE DURING THE ACT OF GIVING?The mindset during giving should be one of privilege and opportunity, viewing it as a chance to make an eternal impact. This perspective involves seeing wealth as a means to invest in what endures forever, rather than what is temporary.Giving should be seen as a privilege and an opportunity for eternal impact.It's about transforming temporal wealth into lasting, eternal value.The focus is on investing in relationships and eternal impact rather than temporary wealth. ON TODAY'S PROGRAM, ROB ANSWERS LISTENER QUESTIONS:  My daughter has a high-interest car loan for $18,000 with a 21% interest rate and another loan for a different car; we're looking for advice on how to manage or refinance this situation.I will soon receive a substantial sum of money and am uncertain about the best way to manage it.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.” James 1:17Ken Boa is a pastor and founder of Reflections Ministries. Russ Crosson is executive vice president and chief mission officer of Ronald Blue Trust. This is the second of our interviews about a book they co-authored, titled Leverage: Using Temporal Wealth for Eternal Gain. [1:35]WHAT IS BIBLICAL LEVERAGE AND IS GIVING TO CHURCH AND MINISTRIES CONSIDERED BIBLICAL LEVERAGE?(Biblical leverage is the concept of using one's financial resources in ways that align with God's will, rather than accumulating wealth for its own sake.)It's about seeking guidance from the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit to determine how much to give and where to give.The act of giving is a way to counteract the idolatry of money and wealth, avoiding the search for security and significance in financial accumulation.Biblical leverage involves sacrificial giving that transcends mere monetary value and reflects a faithful trust in God's provision. [2:35]HOW SHOULD CHRISTIANS DECIDE HOW MUCH TO GIVE?In the New Testament, the principle of giving is focused on cheerfulness and proportionality, not a mandated amount.The more one has, the greater the challenge to give proportionally and the greater the potential impact of their generosity.Sacrificial giving for the wealthy may involve forgoing personal luxuries to contribute more significantly, acting as a test of faith. [4:04]WHAT DOES SACRIFICIAL GIVING LOOK LIKE FOR THOSE WITH SIGNIFICANT WEALTH?(Sacrificial giving for the wealthy is characterized by a deliberate choice to give up something valuable or desired for the sake of contributing to God's work.) Even if the wealthy can easily afford their desires, choosing not to indulge in something and giving instead can be a form of sacrifice.The faith aspect comes into play when one decides to do without something they normally would do and contributes that resource instead.This act of giving serves as a faith test and an opportunity to grow one's faith through the conscious act of generosity. [7:06]WHAT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW ABOUT SACRIFICIAL GIVING ACCORDING TO SCRIPTURE?Scripture invites us to focus on the eternal rather than the temporal, and the unseen rather than the visible.The challenge lies in whether wealth or God's Word defines us, our security, and our significance.The Bible instructs those with wealth to not be conceited or to place their hope in wealth but in God, referencing 1 Timothy 6:17-19: "Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches but in God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy." [8:20]WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN DECISION-MAKING ABOUT GIVING?The Holy Spirit should guide our decisions about where and how much to give, involving a more radical and deep approach than we might imagine on our own.This guidance is part of a relationship with the Holy Spirit, who is not just a force but a person who illuminates God's Word.A wise person applies scripture to their life, such as 1 Timothy 6:17-19, and actively chooses to be generous, setting aside wealth for eternal benefit.Comparatively, the Bible contrasts the wise with the 'fool' who is not rich towards God, referring to the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12. [9:50]WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS TO GIVING AND HOW DOES ACCOUNTABILITY FIT INTO STEWARDSHIP?Giving can be hindered by financial, spiritual, relational, or visionary barriers, and accountability is crucial to overcome these.Having someone to challenge and ask hard questions is important since God promises to meet our needs, as mentioned in Philippians, enabling us to be generous. [10:45]WHAT DEFINES GOOD STEWARDSHIP?Good stewardship is applying biblical principles to life and welcoming accountability, preparing to give an account of our stewardship to God.Since we will all account for our actions before God individually, it's crucial to have others who can speak into our lives and help us aim for the affirmation of a job well done by God. [11:14]HOW DOES THIS DISCUSSION REVEAL THE FALSEHOOD OF THE PROSPERITY GOSPEL?The prosperity gospel wrongly applies Old Testament promises made to a theocratic Israel to New Testament believers, suggesting a direct correlation between righteousness and financial prosperity.True New Testament teaching focuses on the fruit of the Spirit rather than material wealth and encourages us to leverage temporal possessions for eternal impact. [12:30]WHAT IS ‘REVERSE COMPOUNDING?'Reverse compounding refers to the idea that delaying generosity reduces the potential eternal impact of our giving, as our time to influence God's Kingdom is limited.It emphasizes the urgency of starting to give generously now rather than waiting, as our actions on earth have eternal significance. [13:10]WHAT PRIVILEGE DOES GIVING OFFER TO BELIEVERS?Giving is a privilege that allows us to participate in God's work, requiring us to choose gratitude and contentment, which are perspectives rather than emotions.By focusing on eternal truths over temporal wealth, we can leverage the latter for God's kingdom, living out Jesus' teaching from Luke 16:9: "Make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings." Ken Boa and Russ Crosson have been our guests today. They're authors of Leverage: Using Temporal Wealth for Eternal Gain.  On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: How can I start fresh financially after a divorce, with $100,000 in debt, a paid-off house, and a retirement account to be split?Unsure about taking on a mortgage to buy out my ex-husband's share of the house and how to manage our debt and retirement funds post-divorce.As a special education teacher, I'm torn about how to handle my $50,000 401(k) and future retirement planning given that my husband has a government pension. RESOURCES MENTIONED:Christian Credit CounselorsFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

How does a guy who was released in August 2021 have over 1 million TikTok followers? Well, meet Jesse Crossen. Jesse, says he found cocaine in 2002, combined with alcohol and insecurity he went from a kid graduating high school to strung out and barely hanging on. Just after his 18th birthday he committed a robbery and a crazy argument that ended up with a shooting. He was arrested feeling a sense of relief that someone stopped him because he couldn't stop himself. The upper range of his sentencing was 16 years and the judge doubled that. Jesse was crushed, but he put his life together in prison with love and support from his family. He received a Bachelor's degree, became a journeyman electrician, wrote articles for publication, and found a new way forward. On August 16th 2021 the governor of Virginia granted Jesse a conditional pardon commuting the rest of his sentence, and was released immediately. Since being released he started the Second Chancer Foundation to provide services to people getting out of prison. He has an incredible following on TikTok discussing his life experiences. I think his followers are drawn to his raw honesty of how he has survived.

Jesse Crosson: After 19 years in prison,  I got a second chance... In 2002, I found cocaine. Combined with alcohol and insecurity I quickly went from a kid graduating high school to strung out and barely hanging on. Just after my 18th birthday I committed a robbery and separate shooting. I was rightly arrested and remember feeling a huge sense of relief that someone had stopped me because I hadn't been able to stop myself. The upper range of the sentencing guideline was 16 years. The judge sentenced me to double that, 32 years.  I was crushed. But I got back up. With the benefit of great love and support, I put my life together in prison. I mentored other men, earned a Bachelor's degree, became a journeyman electrician, wrote articles for publication and found a way forward. Website: https://jessecrosson.com/ Second Chancer Foundation: Each year in America more than 600,000 people are released from state and federal prison. Millions serve shorter periods in local jails. After release, they return to incarceration at one of the highest rates in the world. Periods of incarceration do little to address the issues and unmet needs that often lead people to prison in the first place and often add further trauma. We seek to humanize the experience of reentry and drive both awareness and resources toward the process. This benefits the individuals as well as society at large. The world is much better served when people are out working, acting as parents and siblings, paying taxes and contributing to their communities.

Ciara Crossan is the CEO and Founder of WeddingDates, an Irish company that guides wedding venues across Ireland and the UK to elevate their business strategies. With over 15 years of industry experience, Crossan has used her expertise to build a successful company and to support local businesses. She started the company in 2008, at the age of 25, with a vision to revolutionise the way weddings were planned and booked in Ireland. She identified a gap in the market and decided to pursue her passion, drawing from her family's background in hotels and her BIS degree​ Crossan is known for her persuasion skills, which she developed during her time working in recruitment. This ability to build rapport quickly and easily with people has been a significant lesson she has carried over to her current role​. One of her greatest achievements with WeddingDates has been building a strong team of dedicated and loyal employees, and she is proud of the company's longevity, having survived a recession and thrived through a global pandemic​

Today's guest exemplifies what is looks like to engage with God, connect with others and live on mission from the moment of salvation. We were joined in the studio by Betsy Crosson. You might want to take notes as you listen to this conversation! Betsy grew up in California knowing who God was but because of some events in her life was having a hard time understanding the unconditional love of the Lord. It wasn't until she was in her 30s when her neighbor invited her to a Bible study that Betsy came to a true understanding of who Jesus is and gave her life fully to Christ. That changed everything - that neighbor couldn't have known just how much that Bible study invitation would change Betsy's life! We hear about what the next 30+ years walking with Christ in California looked like and what eventually brought Betsy and her husband to Arizona. After moving to Arizona Betsy felt like she had to start completely over in cultivating Christian community. It was a difficult transition, but she knew she had to continue to serve the Lord and be in fellowship with believers. You will be inspired and challenged as Betsy talks us through the steps she took to cultivate that, how passionate she is about gathering for Bible study and how the Lord eventually led her to being a part of prison ministry at Perryville Women's Prison. At age 75 Betsy's biggest challenge is this - there is no retirement with God. Always be looking for ways to serve the Lord in the current season you're in, no matter your age or situation. Connect with Betsy on Prison Ministry at Perryville Women's Prison: three81st@hotmail.com Greg Huggins' Sunday Morning Bible Study: https://dscchurch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/1713274Would you please subscribe and leave us a review?

Our conversation is candid, personal and fun, but also very practical, as she shares tips about how: she participated in beauty pageantry, modeling, and acting as a young girl (obsessed with Full House--and still is!) and how the agent's comment of losing 2"off her hips was a "hard no" to continuing to be real, authentic and genuine as you "share your story" to help others on their journey she uses her social media to help others with important issues such as body image and panic attacks life is not a linear journey, but can end up better than you imagined! Britney has been a performer since childhood with a total of 35+ years experience on stage and screen.
