Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel Wallace

A perennial question in the Christian life is whether we can truly trust the Bible. With all the years that have come and gone between the original writings and now, can we really be sure the Bible hasn't just been corrupted like a long game of telephone, or twisted by this or that whim of ancient scribes? And what about those few passages or verses in the Gospels that are put in brackets and have strange footnotes about how the "earliest manuscripts" either do or don't contain them? In this week's episode, we try to take a pastoral look at how the field of study known as "textual criticism" not only doesn't challenge our trust in God's Word but actually deepens and strengthens it.   Recommended Resources for Further Study: Can I Really Trust the Bible?, by Barry Cooper How We Got the Bible, by Greg Lanier How God Preserved the Bible, by Richard Brash The Truth About the Bible and Early Christianity: Wes Huff, Michael Kruger, Daniel Wallace     Visit www.almondvalley.org for information about Almond Valley Christian Reformed Church in Ripon, CA.

Ispirato all'omonimo romanzo di Daniel Wallace, Big Fish è il film che ha consacrato Tim Burton non solo come un grande visionario, ma anche come grande autore e cineasta nel senso più assoluto. Un film che riesce ad essere allo stesso tempo onirico, magico e spettacolare ma anche intimo, delicato e commovente. Complesso, strutturato e dai molteplici livelli di lettura è uno straordinario viaggio nella riconciliazione tra un padre e un figlio, in costante equilibrio tra realtà e fantasia. 

     Almost anyone can be used by the Lord to communicate divine revelation. Even a jackass can be the mouthpiece of God (Num 22:28-30). Biblically, Christians are directed to “teach and admonish one another” (Col 3:16), which shows that all believers can teach and counsel one another with the Word of God. Of course, this assumes they've been “constantly nourished on the words of the faith and of the sound doctrine” (1 Tim 4:6), are spiritually mature in their walk with the Lord (Heb 5:14), and can “speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine” (Tit 2:1). New believers are to “long for the pure milk of the word, so that by it you may grow in respect to salvation” (1 Pet 2:2).      Throughout Scripture, God has used various persons to communicate His Word to others for their instruction and edification. God used mothers and fathers (Deut 6:6-7; Eph 6:4; 2 Tim 1:5; 3:15),[1] wise men (Prov 13:14), noble women (Prov 31:26), older mature women (Tit 2:3), prophets (Deut 4:1; 4:5; Eph 4:11), ruling officials and Levites (2 Ch 17:7-9; Neh 8:7-8), and priests (Lev 10:11; Mal 2:7; Ezra 7:10). In his letter to the Ephesians, Paul listed several communication gifts that Christ gave to His church, saying, “And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers” (Eph 4:11). This is a list of gifted men who are tasked by the Lord to provide education to Christians. Jesus gave these men to His church “for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature person, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ” (Eph 4:12-13). Christ gave these gifted men to His church to help Christians advance spiritually so that they, in turn, can serve others in their walk with the Lord.      In the New Testament, the apostles were entrusted not only with preaching and evangelism but also with instructing the early church in doctrine and Christian living. For example, the apostle Paul explicitly refers to himself as “a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth” (1 Tim 2:7). Paul's ministry involved extensive teaching, as he wrote letters to churches (e.g., Romans, Corinthians, Ephesians) explaining theological doctrines, correcting misunderstandings, and guiding the believers on how to live in accordance with God's will. According to Hoehner: "The apostles include the Twelve, who had the office of apostleship by virtue of being with Christ (Acts 1:21–22) and having been appointed by Him (which would also include Paul; 1 Cor 15:8–9; Gal 1:1; 2:6–9). But “apostles” also included others who were recognized as apostles, such as James (1 Cor 15:7; Gal 1:19), Barnabas (Acts 14:4, 14; 1 Cor 9:6), Andronicus and Junias (Rom. 16:7), possibly Silas and Timothy (1 Th 1:1; 2:7), and Apollos (1 Cor 4:6, 9). This latter group had the gift of apostleship but not the apostolic “office” as did the Twelve and Paul. Apostles, then, were those who carried the gospel message with God's authority. “Apostle” means “one sent as an authoritative delegate.”[2]      In the New Testament, prophets were not only those who received direct revelation from God but also served as teachers of His Word. Their role involved both the foretelling of future events (Acts 11:27-28; 21:10-11) and the forth-telling or proclamation of God's truth, which included explaining and applying existing Scripture. This dual function meant that prophets acted as teachers in the early church, helping believers understand doctrine and the teachings of Christ. The role of prophets as teachers is seen in passages like 1 Corinthians, where Paul said, “One who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation” (1 Cor 14:3), which were all aspects of instruction and spiritual growth. According to Chafer, “The message of the New Testament prophet is more one of forthtelling than of foretelling. He declares the message of God with exhortation and unto edification and comfort.”[3]      Prophets, by God's guidance, helped to build up the church, teaching what had already been revealed in Scripture while also giving inspired messages. Their role was critical before the completion of the New Testament, as they served as communicators of God's will and truth, similar to how teachers expound upon Scripture today. Hoehner notes, “New Testament prophets were gifts to the church to provide edification, exhortation, and comfort (1 Cor 14:3). They probably revealed God's will to the church when the biblical canon was incomplete. Since the apostles and prophets were foundational, they did not exist after the first generation of believers.”[4] Wiersbe states: "A New Testament prophet is one who proclaims the Word of God (Acts 11:28; Eph 3:5). Believers in the New Testament churches did not possess Bibles, nor was the New Testament written and completed. How, then, would these local assemblies discover God's will? His Spirit would share God's truth with those possessing the gift of prophecy. Paul suggests that the gift of prophecy had to do with understanding “all mysteries and all knowledge” (1 Cor 13:2), meaning, of course, spiritual truths. The purpose of prophecy is “edification, encouragement, and consolation” (1 Cor 14:3). Christians today do not get their spiritual knowledge immediately from the Holy Spirit, but mediately through the Spirit teaching the Word. With the Apostles, the prophets had a foundational ministry in the early church and they are not needed today (Eph 2:20)."[5]      Evangelists in the Bible were primarily focused on proclaiming the gospel and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, but their role also included teaching. Evangelists were responsible for bringing the message of salvation to unbelievers and helping new converts understand the basics of the Christian faith. In Ephesians 4:11, evangelists are among the list of communication gifts—or gifted persons—God has provided to His church. This shows that their role, like the others listed, was to build up and strengthen the church (Eph 4:12). Evangelists did not just preach a simple message of salvation; they would have needed to teach the foundational truths of the gospel and explain what it meant to live as a disciple of Christ. Philip the evangelist is a good example. In Acts 8, he not only preached the gospel to the Ethiopian eunuch but also explained the meaning of Isaiah 53 and taught about Jesus (Acts 8:26-34). When the eunuch asked Philip about Isaiah 53:7-8, we're told, “Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning from this Scripture he preached Jesus to him” (Acts 8:35). Philip's role in that encounter included teaching, since he had to guide the eunuch in understanding Scripture.      Pastors and teachers, as listed in Ephesians 4:11, likely refer to one person who functions in two ways.[6] Hoehner believes “they refer to two characteristics of the same person who is pastoring believers (by comforting and guiding) while at the same time instructing them in God's ways (overseers or elders are to be able to teach; 1 Tim 3:2; Tit 1:9).”[7] Daniel Wallace is correct when he states that “all pastors were to be teachers, though not all teachers were to be pastors.”[8] Concerning pastors, Wiersbe states: "Pastor means “shepherd,” indicating that the local church is a flock of sheep (Acts 20:28), and it is his responsibility to feed and lead the flock (1 Pet 5:1–4, where “elder” is another name for “pastor”). He does this by means of the Word of God, the food that nourishes the sheep. The Word is the staff that guides and disciplines the sheep. The Word of God is the local church's protection and provision, and no amount of entertainment, good fellowship, or other religious substitutes can take its place."[9] Dr. Steven R. Cook   [1] The Mosaic Law instructed the parents, saying, “These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up (Deut 6:6-7). The phrase, teach them diligently, translates the Hebrew verb שָׁנָן shanan, which means to engrave or chisel on stone. The verb is in the Piel stem, which makes it intensive (i.e., teach diligently). Here, the tongue of the parents is likened to a chisel they keep applying to their children's minds in order to engrave God's Word into their thinking (cf. Prov 6:20-23). Where and when was this activity of training to take place? Moses says, you “shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up” (Deut 6:7b). Sitting suggests times of rest, and walking speaks of activity. When you lie down suggests evening time, and when you rise up suggests the morning hours. These form a double merism which encompass of all of life. In this way, Deuteronomy is aimed at subsequent generations, that they might learn God's will and faithfully transmit it to their children, who will pass it along to their children, and so on.

Wiersbe, The Bible Exposition Commentary, vol. 2 (Wheaton, IL: Victor Books, 1996), 38. [6] The Granville Sharp rule, which is a Greek grammatical rule, states that when two singular nouns are joined by “kai” and share one article, they refer to the same person or thing. It is not likely that the Granville Sharp rule applies to this passage, since the nouns “pastors” (ποιμένας) and “teachers” (διδασκάλους) are both plural. However, it's possible that the “kai” (and) in Ephesians 4:11 could function as a hendiadys, which is a rhetorical device where two terms are used to express a single idea or a closely connected concept. In this case, “pastors and teachers” (ποιμένας καὶ διδασκάλους) could be understood as describing one group of people with dual functions. If this is the case, “pastors” and “teachers” would be expressing two aspects of the same role. This interpretation aligns with the idea that the primary responsibility of pastors (or shepherds) involves teaching and instructing the flock. This is reinforced by passages such as 1 Timothy 3:2, which states that an overseer (which would include a pastoral role) must be “able to teach” (διδακτικός), and Titus 1:9, which says that an elder must hold “fast the faithful word” so that he can “exhort in sound doctrine and refute those who contradict.” [7] Harold W.

Bible News Prophecy with Dr Bob Thiel Gender Of The Holy Spirit? Does the Holy Spirit have a personal gender in the scriptures? Both ancient Hebrew (language of the Old Testament) and koine Greek (language of the New Testament) use grammatical gender when it comes to nouns. In the Hebrew scriptures, the terms for “Spirit” are ruwach or ruah--are they masculine, feminine, or neuter? What about the Greek term pneuma for "Spirit" in the New Testament? According to Protestant scholar Dr. Daniel Wallace are personal pronouns ever grammatically appropriate for the Holy Spirit? According to Eastern Orthodox priest Dr. Laurent Cleenwerck is it grammatically appropriate to use "who" or "whom" associated with the Holy Spirit? Do most translations of the New Testament intentionally violate rules of Greek grammar related to the Holy Spirit? Should people intentionally change the word of God to show a meaning that God did not inspire? Was the King James Version correct when referring to the Holy Spirit as 'it"? Does referring to a "she" as a "he" make it so? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie go over these matters quoting scriptures as well as scholars who have translated the New Testament into the English language. A written article of related interest is available titled ' What gender is the Holy Spirit?'

Can you Trust what's in your Hands? Michael Lodge, Speaking Pastor Jesus calls us to abide in Him. One of the main ways we are to do this is through our relationship with the Word of God. But we can't have a healthy relationship with the Word of God if we can't trust the Word of God. Today we will learn from Dr. Daniel Wallace's study of New Testament manuscripts to see if we can trust in what we have today. The Word and its message has been preserved amazingly for thousands of years. There is no other ancient book for it to be compared to and no other message that can change history as it has. This is a book we can trust and abide in! Click on the links below for additional Cascade Church resources.

Dr. Daniel Wallace returns to the Bible and Theology Matters podcast to discuss the estimated 5,900 manuscripts that we have of the Greek New Testament. He also discusses the number of textual variants, the different kinds of variants, and gives examples of variants and how to think about them. He concludes with great encouragement as it relates to God's preservation of the New Testament for us today and the part that Textual Criticism does in affirming, rather than destructing, our faith in the reliability and historicity of Scripture.

This is part 15 of the Read the Bible For Yourself. In previous episodes, we've looked at Paul's church epistles and pastoral epistles. Today we move into the third section of epistles in the New Testament--the general epistles. Instead of surveying each of the eight general epistles, we'll just focus on two: Hebrews and 1 John. We'll ask about author, audience, occasion, purpose, and mode for each. Going through these two will hopefully provide you with helpful examples to enable you to read these epistles more fruitfully on your own.

Ch 2:  Jesus' salvation is better b/c he is human. Ch 3:  Jesus is better than Moses. Ch 7: Jesus' priesthood is better than Aaron's. Ch 8:  Jesus' covenant is better than the old covenant b/c it has better promises. Ch 9:  Jesus' heavenly priestly service is better than the priests serving at the temple on earth. Ch 10:  Jesus' sacrifice is better than animal sacrifices. Ch 11: The unshakable Mt. Zion covenant is better than the covenant at Mt. Sinai. Overall rhetorical effect to ask, “Why in the world would Christ-followers want to downgrade to Judaism after they've tasted something so much better?” 1 John Authorship No author in the document itself (1 John 1:1) Early Christians refer to this letter as written by John Irenaeus (a.d. 180) attributed the Gospel of John and 1 John to “John, the disciple of the Lord”[1] Later Christians agreed, including Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and the Muratorian Canon Eusebius says, “But of John's writings, in addition to the Gospel, the first of the letters is unambiguously accepted [as genuine] both by people today and by the ancients” (H.E. 3.24.17)[2] Definitely the same John who wrote the Gospel of John (John the Apostle) Same vocabulary and writing style Audience Christians that John is worried about Occasion: concern over rogue Christians “They went out from us, but they did not belong to us” (1 John 2:19). They are trying to deceive the regular Christians (2:26; 3:7). Many false prophets have gone out (4:1). They are denying that Jesus is the Christ (2:22). They may have been teaching that sin is ok (3:7-10). Purpose Equip Christians to discern and resist false teachings Encourage them to Live righteously Believe correctly about Jesus Love one another Mode Christology “Confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” (4:2) “Testify that the Father has sent his son as the savior of the world” (4:14). “Confess that Jesus is the son of God” (4:15) “Believes that Jesus is the Christ” (5:1) “Believes that Jesus is the son of God” (5:5) “Believes in the son of God” (5:10) “Life is in his son” (5:11) “Believe in the name of the son of God” (5:13) Behavior (1 John 3:7-10) “It is unlikely that John has in mind absolute sinless perfection, since earlier he has denounced those who say they are without sin (1:8, 10). Rather, John has in mind the blatant sinning to which those who have left the community have fallen prey (2:19). In view of the letter as a whole, such sinning probably involves denial of Christ's human nature (4:2-3; theological lapse), flaunting of God's (or Christ's) commands (2:4; ethical lapse), failure to love (4:20; relational lapse), or some combination of these grave errors.”[3] Many appeals to live righteously (1 John 1:.5-6; 2:1-6; 3:4-10, 23-24; 5:18) Live differently than the world (1 John 2:15-17; 3:1, 13; 4:4-6; 5:4-5, 19) Love your brother/sister in Christ (1 John 2:10-11; 3:11, 14-18; 4:7-12, 16-21; 5:1-3) Review General epistles are for Christians in general rather than a specific church or person. In order to understand the general epistles, it's helpful to figure out authorship, audience, occasion, purpose, and mode. Authorship is explicit for James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude, but takes some work to figure out for Hebrews and 1-3 John. Hebrews was probably not written by Paul but by someone who spent time with him like Priscilla, Luke, Barnabas, or Apollos. Audience and occasion are often intertwined and determinable by gleaning bits of historical information from the epistles themselves. As you read, ask yourself, "Who was the original audience?" and "What was going on with them?" To discern the purpose, ask, "What is the author's main goal in this epistle?" Mode is answering the question, "How does the author go about achieving his purpose?" Once you've figured out the author, audience, occasion, purpose, and mode, understanding the rest of the epistle's particulars is much easier. [1] Irenaeus, Against Heresies 3.16.5, 8.

Many argue that the Fourth Gospel is the least historically reliable since it was written in the late first century. Essentially, they argue that this text tells us more about the beliefs of the church in that period than it does about the historical Jesus. So what are we to make of this theory? On this episode, Shane talks with New Testament scholar Daniel Wallace about evidence that points to a much earlier date, along with other matters related to the historical reliability and faithful transmission of John's Gospel.SHOW NOTESRecommended BooksRevisiting the Corruption of the New Testament, Daniel WallaceRedating the New Testament, John A.T.

It took singer, actress, and producer, Toni Braxton ten years to get a lupus diagnosis. In this episode of SHE MD, Toni Braxton shares her story alongside her rheumatologist, Dr. Daniel Wallace, one of the world's leading authorities on lupus. This episode dives deep into Braxton's personal experiences with lupus, including passing out during a performance and overhearing her surgeons debate the necessity of bypass surgery while under twilight. Despite being advised to conceal her condition, Toni now advocates for lupus awareness, an often invisible illness that disproportionately affects women, and is frequently misdiagnosed as chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia. Braxton also touches on personal milestones, including being discovered as a singer at a gas station at age twenty-two, and her upcoming residency in Vegas with Cedric the Entertainer. Dr. Daniel Wallace and Dr. A explore the complex interplay between lupus and pregnancy, emphasizing the critical goal of supporting lupus patients through their first trimester and addressing the reproductive issues linked to autoimmune diseases. This episode not only sheds light on Toni Braxton's personal battle with lupus but also educates and empowers others dealing with similar challenges, offering hope and understanding for those navigating the complexities of this autoimmune disease.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Clinton E. Arnold (Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan, 2002), 176-212.]] Many appeals to live righteously (1 John 1:.5-6; 2:1-6; 3:4-10, 23-24; 5:18) Live differently than the world (1 John 2:15-17; 3:1, 13; 4:4-6; 5:4-5, 19) Love your brother/sister in Christ (1 John 2:10-11; 3:11, 14-18; 4:7-12, 16-21; 5:1-3) Review General epistles are for Christians in general rather than a specific church or person. In order to understand the general epistles, it’s helpful to figure out authorship, audience, occasion, purpose, and mode. Authorship is explicit for James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, and Jude, but takes some work to figure out for Hebrews and 1-3 John. Hebrews was probably not written by Paul but by someone who spent time with him like Priscilla, Luke, Barnabas, or Apollos. Audience and occasion are often intertwined and determinable by gleaning bits of historical information from the epistles themselves. As you read, ask yourself, “Who was the original audience?” and “What was going on with them?” To discern the purpose, ask, “What is the author’s main goal in this epistle?” Mode is answering the question, “How does the author go about achieving his purpose?” Once you’ve figured out the author, audience, occasion, purpose, and mode, understanding the rest of the epistle’s particulars is much easier. The post 15: How to Read the General Epistles first appeared on Living Hope.

The General Epistles Hebrews, James, 1 Peter, 2 Peter, 1 John, 2 John, 3 John, Jude Some consider Hebrews to be Pauline, but even if Paul wrote it, it's not to a church or a pastor, so it still fits as a general epistle 2 John and 3 John are technical to specific individuals and thus not general epistles Hebrews Authorship Evidence for Paul Associated with Timothy and Rome (Heb 13:23-24) Pauline themes Evidence against Paul Non-Pauline themes Ancient uncertainty (Origen, Eusebius, etc.) Non-standard opening Not an eyewitness (Heb 2:3) Daniel Wallace suggested Barnabas with help from Apollos. Audience As title indicates, the audience was Jewish. Persecuted (Heb 10:32-36) Occasion Became aware of some falling away from faith (Heb 3:6; 4:14; 6:4-6; 10:23, 26-27) Concern that they will return to Judaism Purpose Convince Jewish Christians to endure in the faith instead of falling away (presumably back into Judaism) Mode Show that Jesus is better Ch 1: Jesus as God's promised Messiah is better than the angels who gave the Law. Ch 2:  Jesus' salvation is better b/c he is human. Ch 3:  Jesus is better than Moses. Ch 7: Jesus' priesthood is better than Aaron's. Ch 8:  Jesus' covenant is better than the old covenant b/c it has better promises. Ch 9:  Jesus' heavenly priestly service is better than the priests serving at the temple on earth. Ch 10:  Jesus' sacrifice is better than animal sacrifices. Ch 11: The unshakable Mt. Zion covenant is better than the covenant at Mt. Sinai. Overall rhetorical effect to ask, “Why in the world would Christ-followers want to downgrade to Judaism after they've tasted something so much better?” 1 John Authorship No author in the document itself (1 John 1:1) Early Christians refer to this letter as written by John Irenaeus (a.d. 180) attributed the Gospel of John and 1 John to “John, the disciple of the Lord”1 Later Christians agreed, including Tertullian, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and the Muratorian Canon Eusebius says, “But of John's writings, in addition to the Gospel, the first of the letters is unambiguously accepted [as genuine] both by people today and by the ancients” (H.E. 3.24.17)2 Definitely the same John who wrote the Gospel of John (John the Apostle) Same vocabulary and writing style Audience Christians that John is worried about Occasion: concern over rogue Christians “They went out from us, but they did not belong to us” (1 John 2:19). They are trying to deceive the regular Christians (2:26; 3:7). Many false prophets have gone out (4:1). They are denying that Jesus is the Christ (2:22).

Dr. Alan Kurschner talked about Paul's use of the term "temple" (naos) in 2 Thessalonians 2:4. Does Paul have in mind a literal, physical temple? Or is he referring to a figurative, spiritual sense? Dr. Kurschner first explained that naos does not require some large Solomaic-like structure. Instead, it can refer to a small tent-like structure or inner sanctuary. In addition, it must be erected before the midpoint when the Antichrist is revealed and commits the abomination of the desolation. He then responded to the historicist interpretation of "temple" in 2 Thess 2:4. Typically, they interpret it in a spiritual fashion, such as "the church." He explained two exegetical fallacies that they commit when arguing for this conclusion, including the "corpus fallacy." This latter fallacy is a common lexical fallacy that is linguistically naive. He gave a couple of analogies to illustrate my point. Historicists, at the end of the day, must import a foreign meaning into 2 Thess 2:4 to maintain their figurative-church interpretation of naos. Finally, Dr. Kurschner cited three New Testament scholars (two of them Thessalonian scholars) who made excellent points on this issue. Colin R. Nicholl gives four reasons relating to the worship of the Antichrist. Daniel Wallace demonstrates a development of Paul's thought on the temple. And Gene L. Green makes the point of the orientation of the Antichrist's claims that militates against a "church" sense.   Links mentioned in the program: Colin R. Nicholl.

Today on Karl and Crew Mornings, we kicked off a brand new weekly theme: Humility. Author Andrew Murray once wrote, "Humility is the virtue that gives birth to every other virtue." Our scripture reference for today was Psalm 25:9. We heard from listeners about how God's direction for their lives became clear after they took a posture of humility. Then we played a special interview conducted by one of our Practical Christian Ministry students with Daniel Wallace. He is the President and Executive Director of Gull Lake Ministries, a 100-year-old Christian conference center and family resort in Southwest Michigan. Finally, we spoke to Dave Wilson, Chaplain for the Detroit Lions. Here all the highlights of today's program on the Karl and Crew Showcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can we agree that COVID 19 and its aftermath has to be studied throughly to discover the truths and chart a correct pathway forward so we don't make the same mistakes again?  Can we also agree that some people need to answer the hard questions and do so under oath? My personal walk through COVID-19 remains as vivid as my tours of historical sites like Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, the Civil War battlefield at Shiloh, Tennessee and the Churchill Museum in Fulton, Missouri.   All these I experienced while on vacation and right before I contracted the COVID19 virus on September 1st, 2021.Amid reflection and revelations, in this episode we pay homage to the bravery of those that faced the pandemic head-on and battled a bio-medical establishment, like Dr. Peter McCullough, who co-authored The Courage to Face COVID-19 with John Leake.I hope this episode helps you to rethink how you go about your own health journey because until we have a reckoning with the National medical establishment with a full and fair trial to adjudicate the decisions made during COVID19, our national medical authorities have been overwhelmingly compromised.  Key Points from the Episode:Let's play a game of truth and consequences with hydroxychloroquine, a drug that has been in our medical cabinet for 75 years but made headlines with COVID-19. Ever wondered about the media narratives around its safety and efficacy? We're pulling back the curtain on the misleading information spread by medical experts, and how these half-truths impacted the American people. In a thought-provoking interview covered in this book we encounter Dr. Oz and leading rheumatologist Dr. Daniel Wallace, we unveil the truth about this drug's, Hydroxychloroquine's safety. As I struggled with COVID-19 in September of 2021, It is my great hope that we challenge this misinformation pushed by these so called medical experts and we learn the real truth about what happened.   Other resources: More goodnessGet your FREE Academy Review here!Get our top book recommendations list Get new podcast episodes dropped into your email box easilyWant to leave a review?

Yesteryear is a magical novel based on the true story of Fran Striker, a struggling radio play scriptwriter who would eventually create The Lone Ranger. Set in Buffalo, New York during the early 1930s, Yesteryear explores the events and magical influences that led to the show's debut, a show that provided hope to Americans during The Great Depression and made The Lone Ranger and Striker heroes. To write the pilot, Striker needs to overcome writers block, a Gypsy curse, foil a plot to assassinate FDR, deal with an alcoholic midget, and recover stolen diamond rings belonging to an equally alcoholic boxing champion. Populated by characters who lived during that era—radio actor John L. Barrett, Mafioso Stefano Magaddino, former boxing champion Jimmy Slattery, and president-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt--Yesteryear is written in the same spirit as W.P. Kinsella's Shoeless Joe, Bernard Malamud's The Natural, and Daniel Wallace's Big Fish.

In this episode, my guest Daniel Wallace and I will explore his memoir, This Isn't Going To End Well: The True Story Of A Man I Thought I Knew, a heart-wrenching and deeply vulnerable portrait of the life and loss of his seemingly perfect and impossibly cool hero. Our conversation explores his brother in laws rise in stature in Daniel's imagination, the decades long friendship they forged, the movie-like adventures and mis-adventures William embarked on, the incredible care William offered Daniel's sister as she battled a debilitating illness, and the shocking discovery of a version of William neither of them ever knew when they found his journals in the wake of his death by suicide. EPISODE RESOURCES:Daniel Wallace is author of six novels, including Big Fish (1998), and Extraordinary Adventures (May 2017). In 2003 Big Fish was adapted and released as a movie, directed by Tim Burton, and then in 2013 became a Broadway musical. His novels have been translated into over three-dozen languages. Daniel Wallace is the J. Ross MacDonald Distinguished Professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, his alma mater. Pick up a copy of This Isn't Going to End Well: The True Story of the Man I Thought I Knew at your favorite local bookstore or online here JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:(23:00) Daniel helps us see what we often miss in our grief-avoidant culture, that friendship loss can be just as devastating a blow to our sense of the world and our place in it as any other kind of loss. His relationship with his brother-in-law William was more profound than he had realized until he set out to write this book. (42:00) Daniel explores what his sister Holly did, and mostly didn't know, about William's struggles. He also explores how discovering William's journals, and gaining insight into a version of him neither of them had known added a unique layer to their grief. NEW MERCH ALERTYou asked, I answered.

In a visit to Jackson Lake Island, Alabama, the Honorable Lynn Clardy Bright and Priscilla Crommelin McMullan talk with Carolyn Hutcheson, In Focus host, about the filming of the 2003 movie,"Big Fish," based on the novel by Daniel Wallace.  The interview took place at the movie set of the town of Spectre, much of which is still standing.

Dr. Daniel B. Wallace is the Executive Director of Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts (csntm.org) & Senior Research Professor of NT Studies at Dallas Theological Seminary. His intermediate level Greek grammar is well known to students of Greek, but he has also written or contributed to numerous other works, such as (with Darrell Bock), Dethroning Jesus: Exposing Popular Culture's Quest to Unseat the Biblical Christ. After recalling the way his study of Greek grew out of his faith, he treats us to a close reading of the Greek language of one of the most important passages ever written.

Listen as Pastor Danny preaches from Mark, chapters 1 and 16. As mentioned in the sermon, we want to provide a couple of resources for you related to the reliability of Scripture. The first is the short video with N.T. Wright Pastor Danny played during his sermon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NQYOjRYQG8 The second is a website called the Ehrman Project, which was created to address some of Professor Ehrman's claims related to the reliability of Scripture. They are mostly 4-6 minute-long videos addressing specific topics by scholars such as D.A. Carson, Daniel Wallace, Michael Kruger, and Richard Pratt. There's actually a video discussing the extended ending of Mark by Daniel Wallace, if you're interested. https://ehrmanproject.com/

Welcome back to another week at Movies that Make Us and we take a look at the underrated Tim Burton film Big Fish. Based on the book with the same title by Daniel Wallace, the film tells the story of a frustrated son who tries to distinguish fact from fiction in his dying father's life. Starring Ewan McGregor, Danny DeVito, Steve Buscemi, Albert Finney, Helena Bonham Carter, and Albert Finney. A southern gothic fairy tale, it is a film about the reconciliation between a father and son. Screenwriter John August identified with Will's character and adapted it after himself. In college, August's father died, and like Will, August had attempted to get to know him before his death, but found it difficult. Like Will, August had studied journalism and was 28 years old. In the film, Will says of Edward, "I didn't see anything of myself in my father, and I don't think he saw anything of himself in me. We were like strangers who knew each other very well.”What do you think of Big Fish?

Adapted from the celebrated 1998 novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, BIG FISH the musical celebrates the extraordinary in everyday life. BIG FISH tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward's incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, doesn't think there's any truth to the extravagant tales of his father meeting witches, kissing mermaids or joining the circus. When Edward's health begins to decline, Will must decide whether to accept his father's wild stories as truth or risk losing what he is searching for. Overflowing with heart and humor, BIG FISH is an endearing, heart-touching musical that reminds us why we love going to the theatre—for an experience that's richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.

This week on the Total Movie Recall Holiday Special, Steve and Ryan visit the mopey, gothy early 90s when Generation X looked to the high school Gloom King Tim Burton to express their so dark vision of Christmas. Stop motion animation is such a labor intensive craft that creates beautiful visions that aren't all that interesting, which is going to enrage a bunch of high school Wiccans that love this movie. It does look great, though. Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) d. Henry Selick Starring: Danny Elfman Chris Sarandon Catherine O'Hara William Hickey Paul Reubens The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown's beloved pumpkin king, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the "real world." When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life -- he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.
