Podcast appearances and mentions of David T Lamb

What do we do with the challenging passages in Scripture that depict God in an unflattering light? Think about the flood and the destruction of the ancient world in Genesis, the eradication of the Canaanites in Joshua, or the horrific murder of the Levite's concubine in Judges. How do we reconcile the difficult emotions of God, such as jealousy, regret, wrath, and, yes, even hatred?In this episode, we sit down with David T. Lamb, the author of several books, including God Behaving Badly and The Emotions of God. Just as C.S. Lewis illuminated the thoughts and workings of demons in The Screwtape Letters, Dave seeks to guide us through the most troubling passages in Scripture—those moments that evoke pause, hesitation, and even offence.What Dave helps us see in our conversation is that, despite the complexity of some passages, understanding the emotions of God can help us draw near to his heart, even when his actions defy our comprehension. Dave invites us to embrace humility, patience, and compassion toward ourselves and one another as we sit before the full portrait of God revealed in the Scriptures.We know this conversation will be helpful to you and encourage you to learn more about Dave at www.davidtlamb.com Get full access to Ordinary Matters at www.ordinarymatters.org/subscribe

Find any powerful story in Scripture—then look closely. Past the obvious. Behind the headliners. You will likely read about a woman or man, perhaps a servant or onlooker, who contributes a line, a word, or a gesture. The servant girl who offers a word of advice to a king. A face in the crowd that sparks a ministry. Those secondary stories that represent the minor key in the symphony. Every one of them important. In this series, we will consider the unsung, unnoticed, often unnamed characters in scripture without whose contribution the music may never have been heard. The sermon today is titled "The Recommender." It is the second installment in our series "Supporting Cast: Minor Characters, Major Lessons." The Scripture reading is from 2 Kings 5:1-4 (ESV). Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on July 28, 2024. All lessons fit under one of 5 broad categories: Begin, Discover, Grow, Learn, and Serve.

Does God hate? What does that mean? How does God love the sinner and hate the sin when biblically the two seem connected (Revelation 21:8)? Does God get envious or jealous? God's jealousy disturbed Oprah so much that she left Christianity behind. But is God jealous? And if so, is that wrong? How does our jealousy differ from His? Travis and Dr. David T. Lamb continue their discussion on his new book, The Emotions of God (IVP, 2022). Dr. Lamb is the MacRae Professor of Old Testament Dean of the Faculty at Misso Seminary in Philadelphia, PA. Dr. Lamb has extensive teaching experience, including cross-cultural projects in Nigeria, Mexico, Kazakhstan, and Russia. He is the author of The Historical Writings: Introducing Israel's Historical Literature (Fortress, 2016), Prostitutes and Polygamists: A Look at Love, Old Testament Style (Zondervan, 2015), God Behaving Badly: Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist? (InterVarsity Press, 2011), Righteous Jehu and His Evil Heirs (Oxford University Press, 2007), The Story of God Commentary 1, 2 Kings (Zondervan). Dr. Lamb worked with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship from 1986-1999, serving as campus staff, team leader, and area director.If we are to unlock our mission, we need to know who the God we serve is and we need to know who we are. We are not machines, and God has called us in our full humanity to follow Him with the entirety of who we are. Our emotions are a gift and come from Him. Without understanding properly who He is, we can't understand who we are, and if we can't understand who we are, we can't understand what He has called us to be and do.

Does God get emotional? Does that sound strange? It isn't. We talk about God's emotions all the time. Isn't love an emotion? God is love, but the Bible also says that God hates (Proverbs 6:16-19). That begs the question: does God have other emotions? What are the emotions of God? Is there more than love and hate? Does God get sad? How does God feel compassion? Is God mad at you? Does God ever feel afraid? Surprise? Fear? Is God emotional? What does that mean for us who are made in His image? These are just some of the questions that we walk through in today's episode.

The God of the Bible is emotional. Many Christians don't want to associate emotions with God. Emotions feel irrational, and the idea of God experiencing hate, anger, and jealousy can be confusing and problematic. And yet the Bible is full of stories where God expresses deep emotion. Does God feel, and what is the place of feelings in the Christian life? Join Shane and Biblical scholar David T. Lamb as they explore a theology of emotions.

To commemorate MLK Day, Phil asks Esau McCaulley if we're making progress on race or if we've gone backwards in the last few years. His answer might surprise you. Skye then interviews Old Testament professor, David T. Lamb, about the updated version of his book, “God Behaving Badly: Is the God of the Old Testament Angry, Sexist and Racist?” Lamb argues that if read correctly, we'd discover the Old Testament is surprisingly progressive rather than barbaric. Also this week, controversy erupts as after school Satan clubs sponsored by The Satanic Temple pop up in elementary schools with Good News clubs. And, a country music star withdraws his support from a Christian school that teaches racism is a reality.
