Podcasts about gentle answer

Is the Qur'an truly the perfectly preserved word of God—or is its history more complicated than many believe?  In this episode of All Rise, Abdu Murray and Qur'an scholar Andy Bannister explore the turbulent early history of the Qur'an: from its oral roots to the compilation controversies that many Muslims have never been told about. Was there really just one Qur'an from the beginning? Did early Muslim leaders know what the Qur'an was? And what can the evidence of oral storytelling, variant versions, and missing passages tell us about how the Qur'an came to be?  With wit, respect, and deep scholarship, Abdu and Andy cut through the myths to explore what Islamic, historical, and scholarly sources actually say about the formation of Islam's central text.  Whether you're a Muslim, a Christian, or just curious about the Qur'an's origins, this conversation offers thoughtful insights that challenge assumptions and invite further investigation.  #Quran #Islam #AndyBannister #Apologetics #IslamicHistory #TextualCriticism #Hadith #Christianity #ExMuslim #BiblevsQuran    Resources mentioned in this podcast:  Andy Bannister, An Oral-Formulaic Study of the Qur'an  Andy Bannister, shorter article on Oral-Formulaic Study (https://www.academia.edu/9490706/Retelling_the_Tale_A_Computerised_Oral_Formulaic_Analysis_of_the_Qur_an)   Digital, Critical version of the Qur'an: http://quran-tools.com/  Oral formulae from the digital version: https://qurantools.mst.edu.au/help/formulaic-analysis.php   Gordon Nickel, The Quran with Christian Commentary (book) Gordon Nickel, The Gentle Answer to Muslim Accusation of Biblical Falsification (book) Patricia Crone, Meccan Trade (book) Jonathan Bernier, Rethinking the Dates of the New Testament (this popular-level book includes discussion of the early dating offered by non-Christians Maurice Casey and his student James Crossley).   Shabir Ally admits there are fables in the Qur'an: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLuzyRurhm4    

Each year, Woven's leadership team reads through a book in order to challenge us in an area of our personal faith and development. Over the course of the 2024-2025 calendar year, we read through a profound resource called A Gentle Answer. I was honored to have the author, Scott Sauls, sit down for a behind the scenes interview. He joins us from Nashville, TN, where he spends his days mentoring leaders and influencers. He has been married to his wife Patty for about 30 years. They have two adult daughters, Abby married to Jeff and Ellie married to Drew. He and Patti are passionate about helping weary souls discover the abundant mercy of Jesus Christ. Let's dive in with Scott sharing a little of what compelled him to write this book with the tag line “our secret weapon in an age of us against them."Scott Sauls SubstackA Gentle Answer on Amazon IG: @scottsaulsNoteworthy Quotes:“There's no such thing as a fruit of the Spirit that is not born of strength.”“Gentleness is a kind response to unkind behavior…have you ever tried to forgive somebody? What strength did that take? The strength of restraint.”“On the one hand, Jesus gives total relief to the law when it comes to us in the burden of legalism but at the same time Jesus doesn't lower the bar on the law, he raises it…Jesus says, there's good news. That's why I came.” “If I find myself getting triggered by everything, it probably means that I've lost sight of how much I have been forgiven for. Our behavior always mirrors what we're thinking and feeling and believing in our hearts.”“The gospel has this effect when it's working in our lives to humble us and also to lift us up at the same time.” “Soul and character development is slow work, and a platform can be created in a day.” “If we don't build our lives around a character and a humility that flows from Christ now, there's going to be a time in our lives that we wish that we did.” Verses:Proverbs 15:1Jeremiah 17:9 Matthew 18:23-35Romans 2:4Luke 19:1-10Romans 5:8

Proverbs 15:1 | 06.01.2025

This week we close out our series by looking at some very practical steps that we can take beyond our words in order to demonstrate meekness and gentleness. Text: James 1:19-27; Matthew 6:14-15 Speaker: Aaron Patton 

We live in a very tribalistic society that has created an “Us vs. Them” approach to life.  If someone doesn't agree with you - they are them.  When we choose gentleness, we create room for reconciliation and restoration in our relationships.  Maybe we can break the cycle of “Us vs. Them”.   Text: 2 Timothy 2:14-15, 22-26 Speaker: Tim Sullivan

Jesus embodied Gentleness over and over, including with people who opposed Him.  We have the opportunity to follow His example and reflect this gentleness in our own lives, especially as we face contentious situations.   Text: John 8:1-11; Luke 23:32-36; Mathew 26:50-54; Matthew 5:38-39 Speaker: Dallas Seamens

Gentleness is not weakness.  In fact, gentleness is a powerful, Christ-like response that disarms hostility and helps to build better relationships.  What if we didn't have to respond to opposition with aggression and defensiveness?   Text: Proverbs 15:1, 4; 19:11, 18; 29:11; 14:1, 3 Speaker: Tim Sullivan

During the times where tempers flares up it is so important to be gentle with your words. The question, is it easy? In response, no! However, in the book of Proverbs chapter 15 instructs us in verse (1) A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."

One thing I'm learning is, there isn't a one-mold-model we need to fit into before we can belong in the kingdom of God. Yes, the likeness of Jesus is the standard we seek, but the image of God is found in all sorts of different shapes and sizes, patterns and colors, stories and perspectives. God is present, even in unexpected places. And God is at work, even in mysterious ways. Even if we don't understand or agree or relate.  Maybe we don't have to match in order to belong. Listen in.

What wins in the face of division? What's the play we should call when it feels like it's an "us vs. them" game? In a culture that amplifies the loudest voices and the hottest takes, what if a win is gained by gentleness? A few weeks back, Pastor Ian got to sit down with Scott Sauls, an incredibly gifted pastor and author who is passionate about a concept he calls "a gentle answer." In this Crucial Conversation together, they address how Christians can faithfully engage in some of the difficult conversations that can easily feel divisive, knowing that Jesus shows us how to embrace those different from us in more ways than one. As you listen, challenge yourself to think of a way you can embrace someone that might be a "them" in your mind. The way of Jesus was gentleness, and his mightiest act was done even for those who crucified him. How can that change the way we interact and engage with our world? Support the show

Scott Sauls is the pastor of Christ Presbyterian Church in Nashville, TN and author of 5 (6th on the way) books. He previously worked alongside Tim Keller His book, A Gentle Answer, is what prompted me to ask him to speak on this issue, as one of his gifts is a willingness to hear other points of view, and thoughtfully answer them while still holding firm and rooted in his beliefs. This conversation will focus on what Scott's view of being truly "Pro life" means, and what it should look like for Christians in 2022. In a previous conversation, Scott and I discussed the PCA stance on life threatening situations for mothers during pregnancy, and I will link it here but my takeaway was this: "If we cannot save both lives, we are nevertheless morally bound to save the life we can" - PCAHistory.org PCA History: https://www.pcahistory.org/pca/studies/2-015.htmlScott's Essay:https://scottsauls.com/blog/2022/05/09/god-abortion-and-us/A Gentle Answer:https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-2c4f52ea/list/LV2C3H9VA6M8See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
