Text us!What if the most powerful way to reach today's youth isn't through carefully crafted topical messages, but through teaching them to dig into Scripture verse by verse? Jeremy Stevenson, formations pastor at Christ Church in Jacksonville, believes we're facing a generation hungry for authenticity—one that needs skills to engage with God's Word directly rather than depending on a youth pastor's clever packaging.In this thought-provoking conversation, Jeremy shares how his student ministry tackles Paul's prison epistles through a series called "Letters from a Cell," creatively connecting ancient texts with Dietrich Bonhoeffer's prison writings while staying firmly rooted in Scripture. Rather than avoiding theological challenges that naturally arise when teaching through books of the Bible, Jeremy's team creates space for deeper dives into topics like predestination and sexuality—discovering that students eagerly stay for these substantive conversations.The shift to exegetical teaching hasn't dampened creativity or student engagement. Instead, it's transformed how students interact with Scripture and their peers. "They are now equipped to take God's word to their people rather than bringing their people to hear God's word," Jeremy explains, noting how students are increasingly discipling friends rather than merely inviting them to church. By encouraging physical Bibles over screen projections and emphasizing direct textual engagement, Christ Church is equipping students with lifelong skills for spiritual growth.Before this insightful discussion, we join Caleb DeRoin as he recounts his extraordinary attempt at the punishing Leadville 100 mountain bike race in Colorado—a 105-mile challenge with 12,000 feet of elevation change that defeats over half its participants annually. His riveting story of perseverance through 90 miles of grueling terrain at extreme altitudes offers surprising parallels to our spiritual journey of endurance and commitment.Whether you're a youth minister questioning your teaching approach or simply curious about effective ways to help young people engage with Scripture, this episode offers fresh perspectives on discipleship that transcends trends and cultivates lasting spiritual formation. Subscribe for our upcoming conversation about integrating students into adult services versus creating student-only spaces!

Mailbag questions or topic suggestions? Text us!What approach should you take when teaching in a post-Christian context? DJ Rodeffer, Youth Director at Collective Church in Frederick, Maryland, makes a compelling case for topical teaching in this thought-provoking conversation.Speaking from his experience in one of America's most unchurched regions, DJ explains why topical teaching creates powerful entry points for students who've been burned by the church or have no religious background whatsoever. Rather than feeling like a compromise, his approach strategically addresses real-life issues while remaining firmly anchored in Scripture."We feel as if we're able to engage what's specifically going on in our kids' lives," DJ shares, describing how his team crafts series on everything from digital hygiene to mental health based on relationships with their students. This contextual sensitivity allows them to meet young people exactly where they are.While DJ clearly leans topical, he emphasizes there's no ministry without a balance of both approaches. The conversation offers valuable perspective for any youth worker wondering how to effectively communicate timeless truth to a generation hungry for relevance and authenticity. Whether you're team topical, team exegetical, or somewhere in between, you'll find practical wisdom for your ministry context.

In this podcast, Dr Farhad Shafti provides a critical overview of the Farahi school, highlighting its focus on Qurʾānic coherence and its call to prioritise the Qurʾān over ḥadīth in legal reasoning—an area he believes warrants further attention.

In conversations about charging for ministry, 1 Corinthians 9 often comes up, and for good reason. It's the longest passage we have that talks about supporting those in ministry. But people often come away with the wrong message when they read it. In this video, I want to lay our cards on the table and show you exactly how and why we interpret 1 Corinthians 9 to be consistent with our position that ministry should be supported, not sold.

Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn (de Gruyter, 2024) examines the exegetical relationship between the Quran and the Bible in Islamic intellectual history. As the two have been called "intertwined scriptures" due to the Quran's frequent invocation of biblical narratives and figures, a question is raised: what is the history of Muslims' exegetical engagement with the biblical text? Through a survey of 179 Quran commentaries, the book establishes itself with foundations in the longitudinal history of the Bible in Quranic exegesis. From that point, the book offers detailed case studies and historical contextualisation of the history of the use of the Biblical text in Quranic commentaries, which culminated in a “Biblical turn” in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. This Biblical Turn, which had global influences and impacts, did not only generate new Muslim views of the Bible but even new interpretations of the Quran itself. Quran Commentary and the Biblical Turn makes interventions in several fields, including Quranic Studies and Biblical reception studies, as well as sub-fields of Islamic Studies focusing on tafsir and Islam in modernity. The book was awarded the BRAIS–De Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World. Samuel Ross is an Associate Professor at Texas Christian University in Dallas, Texas, USA.
