This episode is the first of what I hope will be a series of conversations with pastors about how they are leading, guiding, and navigating their churches through current times. As the Pew Research Center has documented, Christianity in the United States is in decline. Thousands of churches each year are closing. In churches across the nation across the theological and political spectrum, congregations consist of aging members and declining numbers. Sanctuaries are filled to only one fourth to one third of the seating capacity, and much of the entire building space goes unused. The reasons for this decline are complex and comprised of numerous components. We are still in the midst of gaining some understanding and what understanding we have is evolving. Decline is not the only issues churches are facing and some of the other issues are contributors to the decline. What this series seeks to explore is how churches are navigating these times by listening to the thoughts of pastors as they describe their situations and contexts and what they and their churches are doing. The pastors I am choosing to interview serve historic mainline congregations that have been a part of their communities for over 100 year and the facilities of which are often listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The pastors also began serving their churches prior to, served in the midst of, and are continuing to serve following the Covid Pandemic. My first guest in this series in my own pastor, The Reverend Dr. Austin McIver Dennis, who is Senior Pastor of First Baptist Church of Asheville, North Carolina. 'Mack,' as he prefers to be called, is a native of Henderson, North Carolina. He came to First Baptist, Asheville in 2016. Prior to that, for five years he was pastor of First Baptist Church, Mt. Gilead, North Carolina, then received his Th.D. from Duke Divinity School with a focus on homiletics and reconciliation. He is the editor of The Luminous Word: Biblical Sermons and Homiletical Essays, which is an anthology of sermons and essays by Old Testament scholar, Ellen F. Davis. The intro and outro music for this episode is from a clip of a song called 'Father Let Your Kingdom Come' which is found on The Porter's Gate Worship Project Work Songs album and is used by permission by The Porter's Gate Worship Project.

America has seen a steady decline in the percentage of farming individuals in the last century, so how do we maintain a connection to the land that God gave us? Dr. Ellen F. Davis—professor of Bible and practical theology at Duke University Divinity School—has come to see how the Bible could help redirect our connection to creation and how we care for it. Dr. Davis' extensive research led her to believe that land is not merely soil, but a community of all creatures that participate in the life of that soil.   Quotes “The land, in some sense, comes first and we have to be responsible for it. That was a new way of thinking and working for me as a biblical scholar. I began reading the Bible with that view in mind, and discovered issues having to do with the well-being of the land, and how they are interconnected with human well-being.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “Being an agrarian means recognizing that the health, the life of human beings is not separate from the life of the land on which we live, on which we depend daily for existence. And when I speak of land, I mean not just soil, but also land as a community, all of the creatures that participate in the life of that soil.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “The Bible was written by people who knew their land, knew that if they did not care for it, it would not be available to their children. So they knew their land and its fragility and its infinite value. They knew that it came to them as a gift of God, and it was entrusted to them not as individuals, but as part of an intergenerational community.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis “The good news and the source of hope is that people are more concerned about the central issues of land use and land care, sustainable food production, and destruction of habitat for animals. People are more aware and more determined to be involved in whatever kind of healing we can participate in.” – Dr. Ellen F. Davis Guest's Links Dr. Ellen F.

What does it mean to read the scripture confessionally? How do we interpret the difficult verses of scripture that seem to endorse genocide and other difficult texts?  Can we learn how to read scripture from other faith backgrounds?  Today we discuss these questions and more with Dr. Ellen F.

God's creation is a direct reflection of God's glory, and Christians are called to be faithful stewards of the earth. While global issues of climate and environment can seem out of reach, our local communities give us space to learn and take action in small and large ways. How can we partner with our creator to build a better, more sustainable living environment? What simple, practical changes can we make to responsibly care for our local communities and our world?Chris and Eddie are joined by Ellen F. Davis, professor at Duke Divinity School and author of Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible. An Old Testament scholar with deep wisdom about our ecological crisis, Davis views the land we've inherited as kin and a covenant partner. She speaks to our call to serve and preserve the land out of honor and love for what God has given us. Davis challenges us to hold onto a hope that is not just a passive, sunny optimism, but a collective vision of goodness and wholeness driven by human agency and creativity.Resources:Learn more about Ellen Davis here:https://divinity.duke.edu/faculty/ellen-davisOrder Scripture, Culture, and Agriculture: An Agrarian Reading of the Bible hereCheck out all books by Ellen Davis here

Is prophecy today simply fortune telling or something else?  Jeff, Mona and Allen discuss this deceptively layered topic.  Much of the time the rhetoric around prophecy, or the prophetic, or even the hebrew prophets themselves seems so otherworldly.  Saturated with mysticism and the divine.  Perhaps there is more.  And that although all that is true, there is another dimension to the tradition of the prophetic.  A practical one.  One deeply connected to the real life details and systems we all encounter on a regular basis.  And finally in an attempt to divine the thoughts of our co-hosts we play another round of Title Me This.   Prophecy Today Conversation (00:38) Title Me This Segment (56:53)   RELEVANT LINKS From our Conversation on Prophecy Today The Prophetic Imagination by Walter Brueggemann (Book - Amazon Affiliate Link) Development of Trinitarian theology (Theopedia Article) Prophetic Thought in Postmodern Times by Cornel West (Book - Amazon Affiliate Link) Biblical Prophecy: Perspectives for Christian Theology, Discipleship, and Ministry by Ellen F.
