I'm excited to present another episode featuring Neil Shenvi, co-author of Critical Dilemma. In this conversation, we unravel the complexities of contemporary critical theories like critical race theory and social justice ideology. Shenvi and co-author Pat Sawyer navigate the implications of these theories for society and the church, condemning racism while advocating for racial healing and unity. Their book balances the valid insights of critical theory with critical analysis, exposing its foundational flaws. Praised for its scholarly depth and accessibility, Critical Dilemma offers a nuanced understanding of these divisive theories. It provides a valuable resource for addressing societal challenges and engaging with illiberal progressive arguments. Neil Shenvi has an A.B. in chemistry from Princeton and a Ph.D. in theoretical chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley. He was a research scientist at Yale University and Duke University and has published over thirty peer-reviewed scientific papers. In addition, his writings on critical theory have been published by the Journal of Christian Legal Thought, the Gospel Coalition, Eikon, Ratio Christi, and the Liberty University Law Review, among others. He is married and currently homeschools his four children.SHOW NOTES: https://www.aaronshamp.com/podcast/neil-shenviSUPPORT THIS PODCAST: https://www.aaronshamp.com/support ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Track: Perseverance — Land of Fire [Audio Library Release]Music provided by Audio Library Plus​––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

A new survey of churches across the US reveals that only 17% of women's ministry leaders are in paid staff positions at their churches. Put another way, 83% of women's ministry leaders serve totally as volunteers. Additionally, only 5% of women's ministry leaders conduct their planning with the involvement of the wider church staff.Women's ministry can be a great joy, but it can also be a heavy burden. Women's ministry leaders often face variables that are unseen by other church members and leaders. Navigating inequities in pay and involvement in overall church vision and strategy can be isolating. On this episode of All Things Jen Oshman asks Jen Wilkin tons of women's ministry questions: Why it's beneficial. Why and how to integrate it within the broader church staff and vision.Why it's important that women are paid for their work (Serving is good too! But pay does matter.).What makes a substantive women's ministry. How women who lead as volunteers can begin a conversation about wages with their leadership. If women should go to seminary if they aren't guaranteed paid work. How women who serve in healthy churches can encourage their sisters who don't. A gospel-centered perspective on growing women's ministry, even when it feels tough. . We cover a lot of ground! If you are a woman in ministry, a woman in church, or a man in ministry, this episode is for you.Many thanks to our episode sponsor: Crossway: crossway.org Behold and Believe: A Bible Study on the "I Am" Statements of Jesus, by Courtney Doctor, Joanna Kimbrel - https://www.crossway.org/books/behold-and-believe-tpb/Women of the Word: How to Study the Bible with Both Our Hearts and Our Minds, by Jen Wilkin - https://www.crossway.org/books/women-of-the-word-tpb-2/Word-Filled Women's Ministry: Loving and Serving the Church, edited by Gloria Furman, Kathleen Nielson - https://www.crossway.org/books/word-filled-womens-ministry-tpb/ To learn more about Jen Wilkin's work: https://www.jenwilkin.net/Resources mentioned on the epsidoe: Honor Thy Church Mothers—with Wages: Christianity Today article by Jen Wilkin - https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2023/october/wilkin-women-ministry-leaders-church-staff-wages-lifeway.html The State of Ministry to Women by LIfeway Research - https://research.lifeway.com/state-of-ministry-to-women/ Resources for growth for women in ministry: Lifeway Women Academy: Online Courses for Women, by Women - https://www.lifeway.com/en/special-emphasis/lifeway-women-academyWomen's Ministry Leadership cohort with The Gospel Coalition - https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/tgcwomen/#cohortsSimeon's Trust Online Courses - https://simeontrust.org/online-courses/Bible Equipping Cohorts - https://bibleequipping.org/cohorts

Summary: In the last ten years there has been an explosion of confusion among adolescent children about their gender. Girls doubting their femininity are suffering. Boys uncertain about masculinity are unsure of themselves. Alarming statistics reveal that the more confused children are about their gender, the greater is their risk of suicide. What should Christian men do about this crisis? This episode uses God's command to us in 1 Corinthians 16:13 to answer that question.  For Further Prayerful Thought: What do you see as the implications of God's command, “be watchful,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “stand firm in the faith” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “act like men,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?What do you see as the implications of God's command, “be strong,” regarding our response to radical gender theory's influence in our day?Resources To Enable Men to BE WATCHFUL FREE YouTube Video Series, A Biblical Response to Gender Confusion and the Transgender Movement.

In this series, the team works through some central themes that have emerged as we've been talking with leaders about A Praying Church, elaborating on material Paul recently shared at an event at the The Gospel Coalition conference. "When the Spirit does things, you can't go backwards and figure out how it happened. If you do, you'll go into doubt, ‘it would have happened anyway.' It's like as you begin to pray and wait on God and ask for his Spirit to lead you within a thoroughly biblical context. What he does is just different, and I call that difference surprise. Surprise was laced all through this story." "Surprise and imagination explosion are just different ways of saying resurrection." "Probably the most misunderstood part of how the Spirit works is that when the Spirit comes he brings us Jesus. So you don't get the Spirit as some sort of power for self-promotion. When the Spirit brings us Jesus, he brings us the goal of Christ's transformation and he brings us the method of Christ's transformation, which is dying to self."

On today's EXTRA episode, I'm sharing a conversation I had recently with Collin Hansen. Collin is editor in chief at The Gospel Coalition, and he is the author of an intellectual biography of Tim Keller called “Timothy Keller: His Spiritual and Intellectual Formation.” I think it's fair to call Tim Keller the “Accidental Celebrity.” When he went to New York City to found Redeemer Presbyterian Church in the 1980s, a clear-eyed assessment of his chances for success would have placed that number very low.  He didn't do any of the things that wannabe celebrities would have done. He didn't have a radio or TV program.  He wasn't a fiery orator. No rock band. Yet over the years, the church grew. In fact, it grew to the point that some call Redeemer, and Tim Keller himself, among the most influential churches and church leaders of the past half-century. Collin Hansen has been a friend and colleague of Tim Keller for decades, and he augmented his personal experience with first-rate research to produce the book we will be discussing today. I want to mention that I did an interview with Tim Keller just before he died, and you can find that interview here: https://ministrywatch.com/a-conversation-with-tim-keller/ I also wrote an appreciation of Tim just after he died, and you can find a link to that article here: https://ministrywatch.com/editors-notebook-remembering-redeemer-presbyterian-churchs-early-days/ Thanks for joining us today for this special episode of the MinistryWatch podcast.

In this new series, the team works through some central themes that have emerged as we've been talking with leaders about A Praying Church, elaborating on material Paul recently shared at an event at the The Gospel Coalition conference. "I tell the story at the beginning of the A Praying Church book and seminar. My dad, Jack Miller, had just started at Westminster Seminary faculty. He just gotten his PhD, and started as faculty at Westminster Seminary when he visited Francis Shaffer at L'Abri. He came back very surprised, because he had experienced a community ever so briefly that had prayer at the center and he'd never seen or experienced that before. Here he was an accomplished reformed scholar, even evangelist and pastor, and that was totally new to him." "Pride and self-will constantly draw us into a fellowship of his suffering -- and that's the door to prayer." "Paul ends that section of Ephesians 3 by praying a doxology. He turns and worships, 'now to him who's able to do beyond all that we can ask or even think.' Some translations say 'imagine,' and that's a great translation because your imagination takes you into worlds that are outside of parameters, outside of our thought life. One of my reflections on my dad is that after all this, he began to do daring things and dream about doing daring things. So his prayers got bigger."

His work has also been featured by the Washington Post, National Review, Christianity Today, The Gospel Coalition and The Washington Times. He hosts the weekly podcast 'The Way Home'. Tune in as Shawn, Bob and Dan discuss what's worth fighting for, how to move beyond our profound disagreements and how to live as agents of Jesus's love. Dan shares how to follow the Bible's command to “stive actively for peace” even in a painfully divided church, country and world. We can live as bridgebuilders in a divided country, healers in a hurting church and countercultural Jesus-followers in a world that needs to know God's love. Tune in! https://danieldarling.com/

Stand aside, Uncle Sam, because Father God (speaking directly through His chosen medium, The Gospel Coalition) wants you to take up the cross and fill out a participation form for “Bring Your Bible to School Day!” If by school, you're referring to my aunt's breakfast nook, then I'm in. We chat about a fascinating documentary on HBO called Telemarketers about Civic Development Group – a really gross company that Sam spent a few months working for in Virginia. Aaaand the good ol' Catholic Church… jumping through every hoop in the world to hoard their wealth instead of compensating the victims of their disgusting clergymen. Subscribe to our YouTube channel, as we'll be posting video versions of the podcast there regularly!

Rebecca McLaughlin is joined by Christy Thornton to answer questions about the Trinity.Questions Covered in This Episode:Has God always been Triune?Do other aspects of God's identity change between the Old and New Testament?Is “let us make man in our image” written in plurality?If God was triune from the beginning why didn't He make that clear from the beginning?Why is the Trinity not more clearly articulated in the New Testament?How do we know there are just three parts to God?How can all three parts be fully God and yet not all of God's fullness?What differentiates each person of the Trinity?What exactly does it mean for Jesus to be the Son of God? How is it different from us being sons and daughters of God? How is this different from being a demi-god?If Jesus is fully God then He is perfect. If He is fully human then He is sinful, by definition, someone who is sinful can't be perfect. How then can Jesus and God be one and the same?Who is God the Father? Who is God the Son? Who is the Holy Spirit?How do we know we aren't projecting our human understanding and relationships onto God?Guest Bio:Christy Thornton is Assistant Professor of Christian Thought and Associate Director of PhD Studies and Director of ThM Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.

“We become what we worship,” said Andrew Wilson as he was speaking at the Gospel Coalition this past week. He's so right. We are living in a world with decayed moral standards, idolatry thru the worship of false gods (technology, social media, etc.), and we wonder just how far we really are from Sodom and Gomorrah.Genesis 19 shows us a story of a man that returned to a land with LOTs of sins, settled down and was living among them. Lot became what he was worshipping. And yet because of the promise to one man (Abraham), God saved Lot.

Today I talk to my favorite musician, John Van Deusen. The Gospel Coalition named John's album “Marathon Daze” the top Christian album of the year for 2022. John has produced music with Judah, John Guerra, Teniella Neda, and many more. If you haven't heard of John, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE check out his work—start with his devotional album “Every Power Wide Awake,” also known as “I Am Origami 2.” His most recent album is a Christmas album titled “In the Bleak Midwinter.” I just got the vinyl and it is fantastic! John started his music career in the band Lonely Forest, which had good success. But, in an effort to honor God and become more healthy, he began to do solo work. We have a great conversation, complete with eggs and three year olds going to school. We discuss the heart of the artist, creativity, the church, contemporary Christian music, the kinds of movies he'd like to see, and his multiple projects. Learn more at www.johnvandeusen.com. Please support John and his wonderful work. To me, he is a modern David, who lives his faith authentically before the Face of God.  #music, #faith, #christian, #poppunk, #iamorigami, #marathondaze, #johnvandeusen #thegospelcoalition Follow us on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/bumperstickerfaith      Find us on Instagram @bumperstickerfaith Won't you please consider becoming part of the BS Crew?

In less than a month, early voting for Issue 1 will begin. Do you know what the text of this proposed amendment actually means? Why did they use 200 words to outline an issue they claim is only about abortion access? What does the specific language mean for current Ohio laws? On this week's episode of The Narrative, CCV President Aaron Baer, Policy Director David Mahan, Communications Director Mike Andrews, and special guest Maria Baer go line-by-line through the text of Issue 1 revealing why this is “the most dangerous constitutional amendment” that has ever been proposed. Find out what it will take for Ohio to reject this extreme amendment, why there is still hope, and what needs to be done between now and Tuesday, November 7, to protect 30,000 lives each year.

First, a hat tip to our friends at The Gospel Coalition for a great article on this topic.By 2030, Baby Boomers are expected to pass nearly $68 trillion in assets to their children, primarily millennials.Millennials are projected to hold five times as much wealth by 2030 compared to today.Concerns arise regarding the impact of declining church giving as Boomers pass away.Smaller and larger churches alike are experiencing a downturn in giving, with even larger evangelical churches seeing a drop during the COVID-19 pandemic.Younger generations prioritize charitable giving, potentially offsetting the decline.Christian Boomers can influence their adult children's generosity by modeling it and engaging in discussions about wealth transfer.Three ways Christian Boomers can leave a legacy of generosity are engaging with their family, planning their estates to include charitable giving, and educating and encouraging their heirs.Estate planning can include strategies for supporting churches, ministries, or missionaries.       Ethical wills can capture life stories, religious values, ethics, and beliefs to pass on to future generations.Financial literacy should also be a focus to ensure heirs are prepared to handle the wealth they receive, promoting stewardship and generosity. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: Should you use 401k funds to pay off a mortgage? Should a person in their mid-30s with no dependents get life insurance? Does it make sense to move savings into a high-yield savings account? Is it true that banks will ask people to convert their cash to digital currency soon? RESOURCES MENTIONED:Bankrate.comApp.faithfi.com Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

On this week's podcast, Mike's guest is journalist, podcaster, and author Collin Hanson, who recently published a book on one of the 21st century's most influential church leaders--Tim Keller.  Collin is vice president for content and editor in chief of The Gospel Coalition, as well as executive director of The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics.  Listen to Mike and Collin go behind-the-scenes on the life of Tim Keller and also discuss our need for an even more intentional voice of reason and hope in the midst of the cultural milieu of the moment.

The Gospel Coalition seems to have an opinion, as evidenced by a recent article: Generous Tipping to Honor the King. Then, can Christians vote for Democrats?, do we really need to do good works?, and, via Christianity Today, the ministry of staying put.  Follow The Common Good on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram Hosted by Aubrey Sampson and Brian From Produced by Laura Finch and Keith ConradSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sarah Zylstra, senior writer at the Gospel Coalition, recalls stories from an extensive podcast series she produced about stories from 9/11. Sarah talked to dozens of survivors about how they got through the day, what they did next, and the surprising number of church plants that popped up in Manhattan after the tragedy. For KJ Johnson (Director of the CS Lewis Institute, retired lt. colonel of the US Marine corp), 9/11 was the centerpiece of his career. He reflects with Brian on its impact on people who were serving in the military at the time, and how God later called him to ministry. Then, Kelly Flanagan explains how when our fragility is primed by events (like 9/11), our values shift to one singular value: appreciating time with the people that we have. Kelly is a clinical psychologist, speaker, author of two non-fiction books--Loveable and True Companions--and a best-selling and award-winning novel, The Unhiding of Elijah Campbell.

This month on MARKED, we're doing a fun new miniseries all about Lifeway Women Academy. Each episode of this series will release on Wednesdays, and Elizabeth Woodson joins Elizabeth Hyndman to talk to a Lifeway Women Academy teacher about her journey into theological education and how studying theology has marked her in her walk with Christ.  For the last episode of our Lifeway Women Academy miniseries, we talked to Courtney Doctor. Courtney taught Romans and Paul's letters to church leaders in our New Testament Survey course. These books are packed with theological issues, so we asked Courtney what advice she would give to someone when she comes to a passage that is either difficult or has multiple interpretations. Listen in to our conversation to hear her wise counsel!

In 2009, about a quarter of American high school students said they had “persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness.” By last year it was up to 44 percent, the highest level of teenage sadness ever recorded. For girls, the rate rose to 57 percent. That means more than half of teenage girls feel persistently sad or hopeless. If you stood a teen from 2009 next to a teen from 2022, what would be the most noticeable difference between them? One of them would be on her phone. This episode is in partnership with The Gospel Coalition's Recorded podcast. Listen to more of Recorded at: www.thegospelcoalition.org/podcasts/recorded/

We often talk about the compromise amongst the Christian elites/leaders, but we need to talk about when and why this happened. Today, Daily Wire reporter and journalist, Megan Basham joins the show to explain it. We discuss influential people who were once trusted evangelical leaders such as David French, Russell Moore, as well as mainstream outlets like The Gospel Coalition.
